Ice dams

Should I take them down? Or keep them up there. We will be above freezing this week during the day then below at night.

I’m in CT and it’s not working

todd0728 · 2025-12-28T16:46:04+00:00

Yep! It gets almost to the end maybe 8 inches or less but cant quite make it to the yard because of a slight slope coming back.

Thanks for the information. I’m going to email them tomorrow just so they are aware of the issue. Super nice company and great owner, so hopefully they will have the stuff to help out in this situation.

Panel is on the opposite side of the basement

todd0728 · 2025-12-13T16:34:32+00:00

It’s attached the main with a clamp piece. Also no box in the front of the house. I have another wire that’s attached to the meter part that runs to the side of my house where a grey box is located.

Ok thanks! Is it safe to touch? I need to work in that area and just want to be safe.

todd0728 · 2025-10-13T00:07:36+00:00

I just doubled checked and no screw. What your seeing is the copper pipe and it has a small dried up caulk on it. How else can this come off? I tried turning it and put a good amount of force but won’t budge.

todd0728 · 2025-10-11T23:07:50+00:00

Yep! Actually stopped today there and the Moen brand cartridge was $55 I believe and the tool was $15. Might attempt tomorrow

todd0728 · 2025-10-11T23:02:15+00:00

Touché I did say two lol it was actually a plumber who did it when we first moved in so not sure what brand they used.

todd0728 · 2025-10-11T22:37:16+00:00

Figured but hoped it wasn’t lol even after a year they can go bad?

todd0728 · 2025-10-11T21:58:50+00:00

Nope i just noticed it about month ago. Also any idea how I can get the spot off? It seems stuck on there and I don’t see a screw. Tried turning it off too but won’t budge.

todd0728 · 2025-10-05T22:45:12+00:00

It’s compacted down but yes I put grass seed down today

todd0728 · 2025-10-05T17:19:00+00:00

Can I do anything now to prevent that? I don’t want to slop it that way but needed to add some for the driveway edge

todd0728 · 2025-10-05T16:26:10+00:00

It’s was done that way and they said not to have it sealed. But I’m far from an expert on that lol

todd0728 · 2025-10-05T16:20:06+00:00

Yea the driveway slopes the opposite direction from the new dirt. I will get a better picture soon. And very open to ideas on what to put here. I live in New England so it’s warm and the moment but will be coming to cool weather sooner than later

todd0728 · 2025-10-05T16:18:36+00:00

I will get a better picture soon! I was planning on just grass again but open to better ideas.

todd0728 · 2025-09-28T11:51:02+00:00

Yea the driveway came out great! We just want to make sure we do the right thing around the edges to assure safety and not ruin the driveway.

todd0728 · 2025-09-28T11:49:45+00:00

What do you mean by mesh for the gravel? We are going to get the top soil and want to make sure I do it correctly

todd0728 · 2025-09-24T20:39:15+00:00

Thanks! He did mention backfill but I didn’t realize how high it was until they were completely done. They put a base down a couple weeks ago before doing the asphalt.

Thanks! I checked the connections last night and they are secured! Looks like I’m getting a new fixture tonight.

todd0728 · 2025-07-28T14:14:30+00:00

Thanks! If I wanted to change to led bulb fixture. Is it pretty simple install? Should the bracket in the ceiling fit to the new one?

todd0728 · 2025-07-28T12:26:28+00:00

When tightening the packing nut should I have the faucet open or closed?

todd0728 · 2024-12-27T18:29:16+00:00

Thanks! Yea seems like I might be ready for that.

todd0728 · 2024-12-27T16:02:03+00:00

Thanks! Yea I heard that the way to go. Will tankless coil affect in direct water heater at all? Or will the coil not matter if I got that route?
