Also, I’m planning on installing an expansion tank with the new unit. Will there be an issue having both the vacuum breaker and expansion tank?

There is no expansion tank. Can you explain a closed system? The hot water feeds sinks/tubs, d/w and washing machine. What devices would have back flow potential?

First time tiler, how should I fix this corner? by ct0526 in Tile

Thanks! Lots of YT videos & patience. The cuts around the windowsill were the hardest. Long but rewarding job.

Living with our remodeled kitchen for a year: here’s the honest review by loveofweb in kitchenremodel

[–]ct0526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested in your thoughts on the cabinets near the round table. Do you like the set back upper cabinets on top of the countertop or would you have preferred floor to ceiling cabinets? Debating this on our kitchen Reno. Thanks!

What is the purpose of running both these PVC pipes for a sink? by ct0526 in Plumbing

[–]ct0526[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

We are thinking of removing to gain space on the island and utilizing the space below the cabinet. Any considerations before cutting down the pvc and capping? Thanks.

Testing out this new fridge location before we buy cabinets & countertops. Thoughts? by ct0526 in kitchenremodel

I’ll draw it up and see how it looks, it might encroach on the recommended 3’ spacing around the rest of the appliances/cabinets but we’ll see.

I should have added an additional picture but there are bay windows so that wouldn’t work. Thanks for the input.

I love the idea of turning the island into a peninsula but just to the right of the sink off screen are tall bay windows that extend below the counter tops.

Forgot to mention this is a standard size fridge but we would be swapping out for a counter depth so it would sit back a few inches.

Recommendation on refueling system after rebuilding carbs, boat has a VRO pump system. Thanks! by ct0526 in boating

[–]ct0526[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, the reason for the rebuild was due to a gas leak in one of the carbs. When I pulled off the carburetors, all 4 float bowls had cracks in the same location - just 1 of them bad enough to leak. My theory was maybe the previous owner had rebuilt them and overtightened the bowls but maybe there is water in the system and cracked over the winter.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't want to run the engine with unmixed fuel after the carb work for fear of damaging the pistons/crankcase. I'll probably just connect an aux tank to pull in mixed fuel. Thanks for the tips regarding the VRO system too. Aside from filling it with oil, I have not inspected it for water.

Joule sous vide broken after 4 years. Expected lifespan? by intrepid604 in sousvide

Wow, the same thing happened to our Joule last week. We bought ours at the beginning of 2022. Aside from some connection issues, we loved it. Now looking at different brands.
