Yeah I got the FLIR back when we first moved in. Works quite well finding hot/cold spots around vents, doors, (electrical panels lol) outlets, etc. I’ll take it to my buddies places and let ‘em see so they can take appropriate action if they want.
Update : electrician is coming next week to replace the sub along with the ‘feeder’ wire from the main panel. Thankfully the main panel in the basement is pretty much directly below the old box.
Correct. The biggest panel was installed a couple years ago as part of a reno by the previous owner in 2019 or 2020.
As an aside - I removed the 'block' fuse for an inspection. Yikes! The thing was fried! Still waiting on callbacks from electricians....go figure.
The 2nd panel was made into...
One thing I didn't think of yesterday - why didn't the breaker on the 'main' fusebox in the basement trip? There's a breaker that clearly says 'old service panel laundry room' on it (although I haven't verified that's what it's actually connected to)
For some reason (prolly cause I wasn't thinking straight - like I ever do? lol) that thought didn't even come to me....smh. Thank you BoomerD for the information. I'll be calling an electrician tomorrow to get it taken care of!
So there I am, minding my own business. We have a crew out replacing the garage floor concrete (It has/had a huge crack in it and had sunk about 1".
Anyhow, I'm watching Youtube when I smell a faint burning smell. Could it be the garage peeps machinery? I ask one of the dudes. Nope - they're...
The top brick surface of our FP was uneven as well, but not nearly as much. I used a chisel and took off the mortar, which flaked right off, then used some sort of a carbide stone manual brick ‘sander’ thing to finish smoothing/leveling. It worked quite well. Of course our mantle is...
Of course you need to already have a straight shaft Stihl. I bought the hedge trimmer and pole saw attachments. No problems so far (over a year). Of course YMMV
Edit: I HATE when folks use the words 'hack' and 'trick' in their videos, but it is what it is *shrugs*
We had blown-in insulation at our old business. It was an attic space with a pulldown ladder thingee to access. We also had recessed lighting (can lights I think they're called). The workers who put the insulation in did NOT clear any of it around the can lights. A tremendous amount of heat...
Water is def getting in somehow. I'd tackle the source of the leak first. Betcha that whole thin strip on the top has little/no sealant/goo/whatever between it and the vertical siding behind it. Been there,done that when we had our new spec house built :(
At any rate, get to it early or the...
Hey hey everyone! Long time no visit. Was doing the 'hurry up and wait' song and dance for a vid card for almost a year....so there's that......
Anyhow, after over a year, we're finally tackling (or getting tackled by?) the fireplace. I'll include pics because they're better than words and...
