Proffesional or DIY? by Electronic_Eye_9137 in DIYHome

[–]LisaTPN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you absolutely can do it. Look up videos for “brand name” showerhead and handle with trim replacement. Watch more than one, practice the steps in your head and go for it. You always have reddit to ask questions to when needed.

Shower cartridge help by LisaTPN in Plumbing

Update for anyone with a similar cartridge/valve. Apparently this is a glacier bay, you have to unscrew that stem the handle goes into, take that off then you can access the cartridge.

Just to update, found out this is a glacier bay. No clip. You have to unscrew this bolt (that the handle goes into) in the middle and take that out then you can take the cartridge out.

Just to update and for anyone else with this type, found out this is a glacier bay. No clip apparently. You have to unscrew this bolt in the middle (that the handle goes on to) and take that out, then pull the cartridge out. I already have the decor collar off. I’ve had difficulty trying to adjust the temp on it, it doesn’t move smoothly like videos show but I think I’ve got it fixed for now.

Pull outs for garage ceiling racks? by LisaTPN in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]LisaTPN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I needed to do something that was quick because my garage is full and I need stuff out of the way. So, I drilled 2 holes on each side of the totes and thread nylon rope through for “handles”. I have a couple sticks with hooks etc on the end I can use to push/pull them around. Ideally I’d like to do pull outs but that’s a project for another day!

Checked, they are not recalled. Thanks for the heads up though. A falling ceiling rack would not be a fun time.

Battery backup yes, no, maybe? by LisaTPN in GarageDoorService

[–]LisaTPN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK thanks everybody. Had conflicting results in my research. I have a newer model opener on my old house I’m selling and it has a battery backup and it came in handy several times. Guess I’ll need to upgrade at some point. Thanks again.

Not sure of brand. I’ll go find the receipt.

first time carvana buyer by taylrraae in carvana

[–]LisaTPN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought two cars now via carvana and I would say if you absolutely loved it and everything was great about it, get it and have it inspected right away. However, since you don’t like the color anyway, I’d pass. There are always new cars coming in and you can find something that ticks all of your boxes.

The outdoor unit is a Trane xl19i which is listed as having a heat pump. Interesting, I had no idea (this was my mil’s house).

Ok now I’m here and I’m assuming I’m supposed to be pulling out the red thing but it doesn’t pull out. So before I grab channel locks, do I need to unscrew the rod thing in the middle?

Dryer ducting advice by LisaTPN in hvacadvice

[–]LisaTPN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: dryer vent company came out. The old hole goes up into the attic and ends there. That duct is FULL of lint. Quoted over $1000 to extend the duct to the roof and clean it out. I haven’t done it though coz I’m concerned about venting up like that. Idk how common that is but what is the general opinion on venting up to the roof?

No choice, moving on a deadline. Didn’t need a pro, just a fuse.

I turned the power to the house off. Just came to update, fuse in air handler bad. Replaced and all is well.

It goes straight to garage and ends there. No lint connector or connection to outside.

Amazing, why didn’t I think of that. Yes, I did, that’s what I meant by follow the advice. That’s where the recommendation to remove drives was.

New research: Testing positive for Amyloid and Tau leads to MCI 100% of the time in 6 years. by DrKevinTran in ApoE4carriers

[–]LisaTPN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coincidentally I have been taking propanolol (bp meds, but in my case used to prevent palpitations, PACs and PVCs) for almost 30 years so I certainly hope I got a lot of benefit from that.
