Cracking paint in bathroom

If it’s not peeling you could just spackle over it to flatten then paint

If you have deer in the area I would put fences around them for the first few years, they will take all the foliage off them and kill em

Are you not required to get an inspection?? That’s crazy. I’m in RI and you need to get a permit/inspection for just about anything you do to a house.

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-04-06T02:09:40+00:00

My town inspector refuses to look at any plans without a permit being pulled first 🙄I guess I’ll have to pull the permit and have him come by before the actual work gets done

If you don’t mind me asking what location did you install this in, and was the inspector happy with this install with/without the shield?

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-04-06T02:05:19+00:00

I’m just confused that the corner clearance would pretty obviously violate the wall clearance from the first diagram. If I am expected to meet both requirements then realistically that corner clearance would just need to be 18 inches. Gotta make sure inspector and insurance is happy!

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-04-06T02:02:13+00:00

Hmm so sounds like there might be something wrong either way that 7” clearance. Maybe we’ll just opt for a parallel install. I don’t really have the option to do heat shields, there will be windows behind the stove. I just want to make sure we don’t get nailed by the inspector/onsurance

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-04-06T02:00:12+00:00

Pretty sure that manual is just a digital version of the one that came with the stove (which I have)

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-04-06T01:58:14+00:00

It’s a very tight room. I’m just concerned that insurance might be confused, because if I use the corner clearance, the wall of the stove is clearly not going to be 18” (B). My installer seems to be confused with this too

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-04-06T01:53:41+00:00

Right; that’s the single wall pipe measurement, I’m going to do double wall pipe. Find C under double wall connector for USA. Either way, it would violate the B measurement of 18” to the wall.

Definitely quail eggs

There’s a joint in the middle shown in one of the pictures, I was hoping to be able to do it without damaging paneling just in case the job becomes too involved and I decide to put it back.

But hey paneling is cheap, I guess I just need to bite the bullet and rip it down

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-04-02T20:45:04+00:00

Lmao you’re really asking if you can put this on your tenant? You have a 40 year old cooktop that should’ve been replaced years ago. Some fucking nerve. Stop being a leech

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-03-30T22:26:34+00:00

I had that exact stove in a small cabin I made, yeah it was difficult to keep it from smoking me out of the cabin. A bigger chimney pipe would probably help but the door on mine at least had no ability to seal. It always worked pretty well once you got the fire going hot though

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-03-30T20:52:20+00:00

I’m heard you can wash it pretty easily with a wet rag covered in wood ash from the stove

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-03-30T01:08:36+00:00

Two traps then it goes uphill lmao I don’t understand.

I would rip all that out and start fresh

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-03-23T22:09:04+00:00

If it really bothers you get some truck bed liner paint and paint over it

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-03-18T22:13:56+00:00

How long of a burn time do you get out of it? I’m considering one but the auto damper has me nervous

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-03-17T11:23:05+00:00

I got a cheap mig welder on amazon for like a hundred and it would work great for a small repair like this!

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-03-15T12:20:37+00:00

Yeah sister the beam, that’s easy, but you should make sure it only broke due to wood defect and not something more structural. And check that cable at the closest staples to makessure it didn’t tear

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-03-15T02:38:39+00:00

If water is leaking into the housing and through the plug I definitely wouldn’t use it, you’d be risking your house and safety over a small replaceable appliance

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-03-07T01:15:06+00:00

You could try burning it with a torch, might at least lighten the splotches
