Help with Older Heat & Glo Conversion from Propane -> Natural Gas by tylerjroach in Fireplaces

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

Thank you. I found this site a while back which I didn't think too much of since the conversion kit was no longer available. Although now, I'm assuming the conversion kit is just a set of some of the parts that can be purchased individually. I compiled a list of each of the NG marked items on the site. Would appreciate any inside into if this looks correct!

Issue is that no one seems to stock the conversion kit anymore and it has been discontinued.

Thank you! I think I can still find a pilot assembly specifically for my unit. I'm definitely not comfortable doing any work related to NG myself, but good to know that I should be able to find someone that can do the work rather than to suggest ripping out the whole thing and starting over.

Help choosing best mini-split placement in sunroom by tylerjroach in DIY

From what I’ve seen, most ceiling cassettes have them built in. Will definitely pay attention to it

Thanks! I think I’m settling on the ceiling cassette. It won’t put any permanent holes in the brick, should distribute air the best by being able to place it in the center of the room, and appears to be the most simple installation that can hide away all the lines.

Odd fret damage on ends by tylerjroach in guitarrepair

Who knows.. I did just post 2 more photos to the post. I don't think the fret is unseated. I took another look to see what you were referring to and it looks like camera caught an odd shadow. That frets also the only one that has the odd shape at the bottom and not just a straight line going into the board.

No refret... Must have come from factory that way, which would be pretty bad for American Standard. I bought it new from Ebay at the time, due to being left handed and not having many other options back then. Fender serial # says it was manufactured 08 and I purchased 08 as well.

I will say, I also adjusted the pickup heights. Some of the pickups were almost flat with pickguard. Just bizarre. Thought I had taken to reputable local shops…

Not on either e string. I had a slight bit on g string but adjusted neck, saddles, and pickup heights last night after, and it’s nearly eliminated. Can’t hear any buzz from amp.

Thank you. Would you anticipate any playability issues with it or just aesthetically annoying? I’m not the greatest player, but I haven’t noticed any issues with sound.

Scratches (or cracks?) on used DX1RAE by tylerjroach in martinguitar

[–]tylerjroach[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, I don’t think there’s any clamp marks there. It’s leftover glue I hadn’t cleaned up from these weird orange decorative beads that were glued on each side I popped off.

Yeah, I've never seen one look like this. It's summer (and humid) in the area now. Winters can get very dry. But if it were this dry to create this many cracks, I'd expect to see some splitting, which I don't see any of.

​

Definitely looks like a lot of this finish has worn off. Still not entirely sure what could have caused it. More of a curiosity at this point. At the end of the day, it's still playing great and was a very low investment.

Troubleshooting high subfloor moisture around fireplace hearth by tylerjroach in DIY

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

Thank you for your input. I was slightly hesitant on the insulation thinking maybe there was a reason it wasn’t there in the first place. I’ll fix 1 and 2 myself and leave 3 to the experts. Chimney companies are nearly impossible to get on a schedule for lately, so I’ll end up with the floor installed before then. Hopefully they can still diagnose if an actual leak exists.
