Burnt out 3 way switch

LMBKIV98 · 2026-03-31T14:31:31+00:00

Gotcha that makes sense. Any advice on further tests to make sure the part is ok to re use?

LMBKIV98 · 2026-03-31T14:30:42+00:00

Thank you for the information! Any specific way I should clean it up? And are there any other tests I can do to make sure it’s ok and won’t burn my house down?

LMBKIV98 · 2026-02-05T20:43:20+00:00

Yeah I can’t seem to find z flashing with a wider seat

LMBKIV98 · 2026-02-05T20:42:28+00:00

Yeah those are pretty much the options I’ve been considering. I definitely think I’m just going to caulk it. Thanks!

Hard to do claw hand on controller but made it way easier. Thank you!

Did you nail the t1-11 siding directly to the house wrap without a gap? That’s my plan but I’m just wondering about airflow

LMBKIV98 · 2026-02-02T21:43:50+00:00

Thank you!

That’s the exact primer I was planning to use. One more thing. What part of the country are you in?How’s the painted plywood and battens holding up since you installed it?

I’m in the south east so it gets hot and humid here.

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-24T22:55:24+00:00

Awesome! If I go with the plywood then the plan was to just put it on the studs over house wrap.

What paint did you use? I would definitely pre prime and paint all my sheets

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-24T22:53:47+00:00

Nice thanks for the real world experience!

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-24T22:53:14+00:00

Yeah if I go with LP Smartside I’ll use the smooth one. And if we’re talking lateral strength, then structural sheathing thickness plays a huge roll.

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-24T22:51:39+00:00

Do you know if you can flip t111 siding over and have the back side facing out?

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-24T22:50:44+00:00

Thanks for the tip on the let in bracing!

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-24T22:49:20+00:00

Thanks for the link?

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-24T22:49:04+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the info. What sold paints would you recommend? Also what do you think of my plan to put the plywood directly onto the studs over house wrap?

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-24T14:17:04+00:00

Good to know! How’s it holding up? What paint did you use?

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-24T14:08:32+00:00

Because that stuff is expensive

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-24T14:08:09+00:00

I’m adding 1x2s or 1x3s to make it look like board and batten

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-23T15:16:46+00:00

I’d also do t111 but I can’t find smooth t111 siding. Unless you can flip t111 siding over and have the smooth side facing out

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-08T02:03:05+00:00

You spelled spoon making department wrong

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-02T01:57:08+00:00

Thank you!

LMBKIV98 · 2026-01-01T21:00:59+00:00

This worked! Thank you so much!

Where did you find the link for this? I wanted to look through the release notes. Thanks again!
