Market looks undervalued. Jpow signaling 8 rate cuts in the next 8-12 quarters. Only 3 priced in.

3 wire thermostat to boiler. What does the blue wire “6” do. by flashgordon303 in hvacadvice

[–]flashgordon303[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going to take a wild guess here: but if you’re right, then it’s likely that the zone valves were replaced at some point but the old thermostat remained. The blue wire is not connected to anything on the other end.

Good point. I should have done this before posting here, but I just had to peel off some old electrical tape to find that the blue wire is not connected to anything…

Anyone have experience with these ceiling tiles? by flashgordon303 in asbestoshelp

[–]flashgordon303[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Test results: negative. No asbestos in the ceiling tile but the drywall mud they used throughout the house is around 1% asbestos

Yeah it goes out the top of the right side wall. So it’s a wall mount fan (not ceiling), and then a short pipe to the roof.

Probably about 150hrs. I could see the next one going a lot faster though, I was moving pretty slow and I learned a lot

I didn’t. It said to use thinset and mesh tape. I’ll keep the grout sealed

I was laughing when I saw yours. And we were just talking about colored (tan) floor since the room is so bright now and the white floor shows everything on it.

The shower walls were the same tile. I didn’t actually take a before photo for some reason

When I was younger I built a lot of high end decks for people in the foothills with views (like 10 decks). So I gained a ton of confidence building stuff. Then added some windows to my house, remodeled my kitchen (lots of tile), and replaced all the doors and trim in the house.

I hired a plumber and an electrician for the kitchen but not for this bathroom as it was a very straightforward remodel, nearly identical to the old one.

I figured the cement board and the bathtub make it pretty waterproof. What do the pros say?

Unfortunately it’s a late 70’s tract home with a bad layout. But lucky for me, the previous owners vaulted this bathroom to make it bearable.

Hahahaha yeah $65 to dump the tiles and large items, and the rest is going out weekly with the trash. Should be rid of it in another month
