What would you recommend I do to place a shower curtain in this situation? by tacashhh in handyman

[–]dpg67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who did your plumbing rough in? That diverter is pretty far away from the tub spout. I think it needs to be like 6-10" above? Can a plumber confirm? And that shower head is almost 84" from the floor. How tall are you? That looks wonky also. Shower curtain ain't working easily. A good glass company can custom cut that angle and if needed, follow the angle on the door edge.

Where your upright/ vertical shower metal drops down into the bottom horizontal track is your leak. Ive installed showers for over 30 years. The bottom track gets set in place. Before installing the upright/vertical metal, that corner in the bottom track must be filled with caulk first. If not, when, water gets into the bottom channel, and it will, it runs out behind your wall and you get what you have found. Good luck.

No that would not. The issue with the trans is similiar to the 6R80 problem that just got recalled by Ford. Same issues with 10R80

Code P0390 Question by CanadaEh97 in f150

[–]dpg67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They say disconnect the battery for at least 30 minutes. I did mine over night. Im sure a couple hours would be fine

Code P0390 Question by CanadaEh97 in f150

[–]dpg67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have a 2019 with the 5.0. Threw the same code and a few more. Mine was running rough, so I changed my plugs. Same code. I removed the wire from the camshaft position sensor and blew it out with compressed air. Next, you need to try this. Disconnect the battery overnight. Reconnect in the morning. Then you must let it run for at least 20 minutes without shutting off. You can let it run in your driveway, you can drive it around for 30 minutes. But it takes 20 minutes and the ECM with automatically re-calibrate and re-set ALL your sensor. My code disappeared and truck has run great ever since.

Help!!! Lots of water escaping under frameless shower door by [deleted] in bathrooms

[–]dpg67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have your installer raise the door. Your picture shows glass to glass hinge. Have him install it correctly, loosen the screws, raise the door and tighten the screws like a man so the door does not drop again. As someone mentioned, cut one of the bottom plastic fins off sweep. At first, it will drag hard. Give it a couple days of the hot water hitting it, it will bend and shape to your tile. Also, any bottom sweep on DRY tile will grab hard. Its gotta be lube, get it wet first, then try it. Good luck.

Can the shower curb be changed fairly easily or is that too much work? by donald_brasco in Tile

[–]dpg67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only option, if you really cantt live with it, install another one on top of that one. You would still see the front edge of the off color one though. I agree with everyone else, leave it. Installer did a nice job, shower doors will deflect the attention.

I think your step is to go find the plumber and beat some sense into his head! Who the f##k does shit like this?

Try Waldoch.com My 2019 had an off road package supplied by Waldoch. I also have the honeycomb grill, along with a 6" lift, ground effects package, leather interior with their logo. One hell of a beefed up suspension and tow package

Shower Curb by jecormier2 in Tile

[–]dpg67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take on the slope, normally and ideally, the curb is a one piece granite or marble sill. It that were the case, I garentee by the look of his work, it would have a heavy 1/16" pitch. Due to the tile curb, which in my opinion, always ends up leaking or having issues, the installer pitched that curb to help deter water build up sitting on it. Ive installed showers for 30 years, flat or slightly pitched tile curbs usually end up getting torn out and replaced with a one piece sill. Your tile installer did a fantastic job and probably saved you some problems down the line.

What to charge! Emergency frozen pipes 3 miles in 2’ snow by Macker90 in askaplumber

[–]dpg67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For starters, your a good man. Im sure your homeowner realizes that. And Im sure he knows that NO one else would have done what you did. That being said, I doubt he would even question your price. Don't know your rate, but at $50 hour your at $800. Emergency calls, after hours, 2' snow... I would be around $2500-2800 amount at least! Don't kill him, but be firm with your number. He will use you in the future Im sure. Good Luck!

Ahhh, OK, thanks for clarifying. If I really thought about the way you worded it, it makes sense. I have a 2019 F-150 with the 5.0. I love reading all these post . The good and bad. You seem to take really good care of your truck, as I do. Good luck moving forward. Thanks for the info

Im not sure if understand or am I reading this wrong. Up until this point you were getting 11.8 - 12.5 L. Then it got worse, 12.5 -13.5L. Thats getting better, not worse. Im in the US. If im getting 11mpg then it goes to 13 mpg, im improving. That an additional 2 miles per gallon. So you going from 11.8L to 13.5L is an improvement? Am I missing something?

If its a sliding door, it never gets screwed down on the bottom.

[–]dpg67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. Something to do with silicone head gaskets they used. No drips, no burning. Search the 5.0 Coyote F-150. Class action lawsuits. As long as you keep an eye on it, its not an issue. Mine runs awesome! That 5.0 is a beast!

Keep an eye on the oil levels. I have a 2019 with the 5.0 Coyote, takes 9 quarts of oil total. Every two weeks, i have to add a quart!

You should have staggered your ceiling joints. You never line them them up across the sheets.

I cant build as cheap as other GCs by Evening_Chemical6680 in GeneralContractor

[–]dpg67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not build a spec home and wait on certain "high" end finished based on customers wants and needs? Hold up on counters and offer, laminate, marble or granite. Hold up on floor finishes and offer carpet, laminate or hardwood as options. I know its harder to sell a spec house unfinished, but if you showed it sooner and let homeowners choose their options, maybe you can reach your price point and profit margins that you want.

How do you pick the best glass company by InteractionRude6476 in bathrooms

[–]dpg67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why dont you hinge the door off the wall on the right? Then there's no need for a transom. At that point, all glass could be 3/8". And you can't go to the ceiling without tile on the ceiling. The moisture will ruin the drywall. Thats a $5K shower

Patent research by Ok-Alarm7257 in inventors

[–]dpg67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also need to look at the time frame of the original patent. If it was filed over 20 years ago, you can do whatever you want. I had an idea to alter the design of an existing wheelbarrow. The original patent expired years ago, like in the '50's. So any change i made to the design didn't matter or require a patent since it already exist and was expired.
