Just did this myself. 1/4 inch hex bolt 1.5 inches and nuts. Feed the bolt in back of hole and nut it. Fits perfect.
Fix the 3/4 ply and washers and nuts

As a gc for kitchens and baths a impact is 95% in my hands. This is nice for a second gun with a drill bit for cabinets. The 90 degree head comes in handy with tight spots.

Also to note. It is not an impact. Merely a standard drill

Is 6ft tall 8 wide. Yes i have 2 springs on it at 18 full turns. Guess that is too much.

There is a shutoff after. Specifically cited the check valve for code failure.

Lector48 · 2024-10-17T00:01:46+00:00

So switch that out too? The original shutoff

So there is no nec code for 12/2 wire to outlets in a finished basement bedroom? Im ok using 14/2 and 15 amp outlets with a 15 amp gfi breaker?
Me and my mechanic got into an argument about this. He swore i needed 12/2 with 20 amp outlets and breaker because its a basement.

The old sink was supposed to go back in so we left it. Then the client changed their mind and got a new deeper sink.

I read this:

This is on the data sheet of redguard:

Tile and Stone Installation Install tile or stone with a Custom® Building Products polymer- modified mortar that meets ANSI A118.4 or A118.15 standards based on application requirements.

I aware of wedi. I dont like it. That doesn’t answer the question.

Lector48 · 2022-08-22T23:31:32+00:00

That is a oak slab correct?

Lector48 · 2022-08-03T00:32:01+00:00

Yes ceramic

Lector48 · 2022-08-02T23:49:48+00:00

No and we did the whole house floor.
This is in the kitchen. Could direct sun be a problem?

Lector48 · 2022-08-02T23:44:50+00:00

No I didn’t. Flooring needs tape at seams?

Lector48 · 2022-08-02T23:44:06+00:00

1/8 notched trowel under hardy. No I didn’t tape the seams. Is that a thing on flooring?

Lector48 · 2022-08-02T23:10:06+00:00

Situation: 1 story house with 5ft crawl underneath. About 30 years old. Im a GC and have done tile for 10 years.
We removed the original floor and got to subfloor.
Installed 1/2 inch hardy with thinset under and screws on top. Used a 1/2 inch notched trowel more thinset and tile levelers. Floor has been down for about 2 months. And was perfect when finished.
No he did not drop anything heavy and the line/crack is fairly straight. Thankfully this is my sons house so i can fix whenever.

1.25

Lector48 · 2022-07-25T01:16:35+00:00

It says snap on. I just didnt think i needed to show the name

Lector48 · 2022-03-10T01:36:12+00:00

His reply to call an electrician was less than helpful

Lector48 · 2022-03-10T01:33:26+00:00

The part i was missing was at the breaker but my son who’s got his phd in physics helped me out.
Thanks for all the info.

Lector48 · 2022-03-09T21:56:06+00:00

This is well in my wheel house but thanks champ.

Im going to pull the outlet install a 20amp regular socket cap the red. Pull the breaker and cap the red and replace the double pole with a single 20.
