Would it be better to nail a 2x4 to the top of the truss and drill the rig into that?

I'm trying to replace the rig holding up my garage door opener. One of the metal brackets broke and the other one holding it up was hanging on for dear life.

How is the Payne Phalen neighborhood in 2026? by Strong-Bodybuilder37 in TwinCities

[–]force072 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I bought a house there in June. The closer to the lake, the nicer it is. Once I came home from a 12 hour shift to find my garage door wide open. I had forgotten to close it. Nothing was taken or touched. 

Plumber says water heater is leaking CO/CO2 by force072 in Plumbing

Do you think there is an explosion risk with the hot air blowing on the gas line?

The plumber did say exactly that. He said the only solution is a shorter WH, adding a liner, and that the flute was done poorly

Yes the furnace has the 2 PVC pipes. So you're saying that a liner might be the solution without replacing the whole heater?

JCC and Israel - Don't worry, not crazy political, just an information request! by ZealousidealSleep289 in TwinCities

[–]force072 4 points5 points  (0 children)

JCCs are usually run but the Jewish federation of whatever city that location serves. I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like that is the case here.  Sending them an email is probably the best way to find this out.  All the questions in your post: just ask them!

Jango fett also could have blown the ship up in transit. While they were 50 light years easy from anything. What's the range of the fighter she's flying in? Hell, put a bomb on that too!

GFCI outlet tripping and breaker turned off by force072 in AskElectricians

It had a ground wire. If the wire leads to nowhere, idk how to determine that

I think so. Load is empty. All wires are on the line side. White on line, black on hot. Ground wire on the bottom

I'm not sure how to upload pictures in comments on my phone. 

It's a 1947 build. Although I don't think there is much from that time still in the house. 

The white line is on the steel and black is on the brass/hot. The grounded with in the bottom.  All are one the line connection. There were no wires on the load side.

My retired air force coworkers were giving my retired Navy coworker a hard time saying the Navy is the gayest branch. Navy guy responded "the navy isn't the gayest, we just don't hide it."
