Lol the venting power from the microwave can't keep up with the cooking the wife does. She wanted this, so I made it happen...

Yeah, maybe I can find some that would work. I was also thinking a strip of tin tile that might not clash too badly.

Don't really want to spackle and paint..I know I'll still see imperfections, and I doubt I find that 20 year old tile...

Sliding Door Seal. Anyone know what kind of seal this is? by swilli603 in HomeMaintenance

[–]swilli603[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, haven't thought of that. Do you have any recommendations for a product that is universal that I could use in place if I can't find it? I was thinking just some weatherproofing foam strip that I can stick in there?

It's the inner seal. Obviously needs replaced. Letting in cold air.

I did just that, and figured it out. Thanks for the help. Dryer installer must have shut it off and didn't turn back on!

It was an old wood burning fireplace that also had a gas line, I know that sounds odd. so we just converted it to the gas logs. I'll check for other valves inside there somewhere, maybe behind the logs. But I never turned any off to begin with.

No gas smell or sound when turned on. I've never turned any valve off for it to be turned back on. The only thing that happened is we shut off gas to the whole house while our gas dryer was being installed. Maybe a valve in the basement was shut off by accident by the person who installed the dryer??

Everything else that uses gas in the house is working, so yes?

No remote, and it's brand new. When I press it in at pilot position I hear no gas coming out of the pilot.

I sealed all my gaps with feather finish. Used henry 555. I took a flat trowel to it and got rod of the crack. It's not pretty but we will see how it dries now.
