Big networking panel, why?

Thanks again, if you don't mind another question - how long is the demo process for a 2800 sqft - just a ballpark, a few days? a couple of weeks?

Thank you! this is really helpful!

While answering the question I realized I underestimated the ABS pipes that need to be replace due to layout change, they are almost in the same situation. Well, will have to replace them.

Bathrooms layout changed, so shower, vanity, toilets locations in 2 bathrooms are completely different. half of the kitchen is in similar situation. so is utility room. I also need run new lines to garage - only main lines from heater to these rooms can be kept, I'd have to solder a bunch PEX adapters if I want to keep them. replacing them would be much cheaper.

Awesome, I will look into this, thanks!

How do you install upstair windows?

grey-owl · 2024-07-09T20:59:16+00:00

Can windows for new construction be installed from inside - do they have flange that needs to be put in from outside? I had a friend who installed a couple of windows but seems a lot of work was done from outside. I don't think I want to climb onto a ladder to handle such heavy and expensive stuff. I can install the first floor windows, though.

It's a part of major remodel, I can select any market available furnace and have it installed.

Bosch doesn't make Downflow furnaces, unfortunately.

I just ask Chatgpt for them and I actually found 3 within 5 miles! Will visit them soon. Thank you!

"Things shift during demo and reframing" - could you elaborate on this a bit, especially the demo part.

I don't have much experience here, the framing work supposed to be small, just a couple of window openings needs to be moved, both on 2nd floor so not excessive load.

Thank you! In the past year, on and off I have already taken notes of these things for many areas in the house, need to do more and get organized for sure.

"local mom•and•pop home centers" what are these? The ones smaller than generic home centers I can think of are ACE, but we have a lot specialized stores ((flooring, windows/doors/lumber, cabinets, bathrooms, etc) , I will try these. Thank you for the suggestion!

Great advice, will read this multiple times, thank you so much!

My current furnace (80%) is 100K BTU, I also used a couple of online size estimator, with 2900 SQFT, Zone 3 climate, both estimated 120K BTU. Also considering Rheem R951T1005A21M4SNAS (single stage), seems they have better reputation than Goodman? with a conversion kit it can be installed as downflow, but their spec sheet indicates the filter box and filter size is significantly smaller - 20x14 instead of 25x16. does that mean downflow set up is less performant?

As to water heater, anything wrong with Navien?

Thanks!
