    Furnace problems...

    I've had this happen with the furnaces in my last two places - definitely check this as it's a super easy fix. There should be a little window in the furnace you can look through to see a diagnostic LED - count the flashes, then look on the inside of the furnace cover/panel or check online...

    Home heating help

    Not sure if this is relevant since I don't have experience with boiler systems, but for what it's worth - I put in a new whole-house humidifier, which has it's own "controller" (humidistat). The wire that would normally go from the main thermostat directly to the furnace to kick on the fan...

    Remodeling my kitchen - contemplating wood floors

    We're having the same debate, though our kitchen remodel project is still a couple years off. The only thing going against wood as a choice is the potential for water damage - if we do go with wood, I'll definitely be purchasing quite a bit of extra material and be choosing a product that isn't...

    Home and Auto insurance

    We have Nationwide and have been satisfied, but I think I'm going to get a quote from Amica because I've heard good things about them, and we need to keep Nationwide honest - I read that many insurance companies basically punish you for being loyal - slowly raising your rates each year assuming...

    HRVs/Filtration

    Power Co should be about as unbiased as you're going to get. They'll likely do smoke tests to help locate drafty windows and doors. It sounds like a pain but if they find issues there you can carefully pull back the casing (cut the paint/caulk where the trim meets the wall) and do a better job...

    HRVs/Filtration

    He's in MN so I'm guessing the furnace and ductwork are in the basement if he has one. Still good points about blowing unheated or unconditioned air around the house. Best time to use the fan w/o heat or coiling is spring/fall when you want the circulation but the temperature is fine, or to...

    HRVs/Filtration

    I'd try to tape or seal whatever ductwork you can get at. That will just give you a little more control if you end up trying rebalance things. I don't know the most cost effective way to do this - I still have to do it in our house but as I mentioned our current configuration is most likely...

    HRVs/Filtration

    I had to Google AeroSeal. That could probably be helpful in overall performance, but wouldn't really do much for an imbalance unless the cold rooms happened to have the most ductwork leakage. Are the joints in the ductwork sealed and taped? If it's a new house I'd expect that to be done - so...

    HGTV

    I really like(d) Disaster DIY. A lot of other shows were good for general ideas and information, but I prefer the shows that provide at least a little instruction or show techniques. Mike Holmes' shows are pretty informative too, but I think his ego started affecting the quality of the programs.

    Tools

    Awesome thread! Some tools I own and use a ton or found useful: - Track Saw (I have a Dewalt - probably would go with the Festool in hindsight, but still love it) - Kreg pocket hole kit - Milwaukee right-angle drill (bought this for assembling a shelving project that I could have planned...

    Pex

    Your idea makes sense to me. I might steal it when I redo our bathrooms. We're lucky in that our house happens to have pretty much all the plumbing running through the same walls - upstairs bathroom and kitchen are back to back and downstairs bathroom is directly under. So I could get by with...

    HRVs/Filtration

    What do you mean always on fan? Like the furnace (air handler) blower is always running? Do you have a fresh air intake for ventilation of some sort? Where are the cold spots? Are you getting drafts from doors and windows? Are there exterior walls that feel cold (poor insulation)? Are...

    Chicago Bears bench Cutler

    I've been a Cutler apologist for the last few years, but have finally given up on him. I still don't think we have a lot of better options available - the problem now is the ridiculous contract we gave him. If he weren't paid so much I could handle his mediocrity, because he's still probably a...

    Homeland seasons 1-4!

    I think this season has been okay. Was sick of Brody (and really sick of his daughter). Definitely enjoying it more than the last season of SOA... not that that's setting the bar particularly high.

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    http://sonsofanarchy.wikia.com/wiki/Emily_Putner According to this she's not officially Emily... and if she is, she's, I guess, the ghost of the woman who was killed by JT? And I guess I forgot/missed that her daughter is the one who looks like a 15 year old boning Ratboy.

    Homeland seasons 1-4!

    I liked it. I think it showed his breaking point - bullet through the head was one thing, but he couldn't take seeing someone (especially Fara?) beheaded in front of him. But I also think that one or more people in that room would have stopped him, assuming they all new how sensitive the...

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    Yeah, where was the f'ing limp? That's the type of crap that drove me nuts with this show. And the homeless woman... if there was a point to her appearances I missed it. "It's time". For what? Did she know he needed the blanket to kill Marks? I wouldn't have been totally shocked if it cut...

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    Sutter is such a tool... this show had so much more potential. I'm not saying I wanted a PG-rated show, but... like this last episode. Why do we need to see a girl with a huge hail-damaged ass sitting on a dude's face? You want that going on in the background? Fine, whatever... but even if...

    Pirate bay down worldwide

    I can't even imagine how much stuff I've downloaded over the past 20 years. Hundreds of movies. Thousands of albums. I still purchased DVDs and CDs, but I couldn't afford to buy every single one I wanted, so I stole them. Probably bought 1 for every 3 I pirated. I don't feel particularly...

    Glad I didn't start Walking Dead then. I decided after Dexter I'm going to try to wait at least 3 seasons before getting into any new shows.

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    I also think they're going to patch in the Bastards... and maybe Tyler's crew too. He talked about it to the Bastards a couple episodes ago, and then talked to the other presidents about getting rid of an unwritten bylaw. The same bylaw, really, that started most of this... the original reason...

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    That convenient twist where Connor was selling guns direct and pocketing the profits annoyed me - not that the Sons couldn't still fail to track him down and save the whole guns/territory truce between black, brown, and white... but I kinda preferred the deal falling apart. Guess it's too...

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    Right, but initially it was a secret - Jax had promised Nero he wouldn't kill the mom, but had Juice do it anyway. I think Jax and Juice were the only two that knew he actually had her killed... I don't think the rest of the club knew (and maybe still don't)? So, in order of events... 1...

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    Throughout the series if the cops just want to talk, they send in familiar representatives that the Sons know they don't need to run from. They've been around long enough to spot an arrest waiting to happen. He didn't let them take him in this time around because he was on a mission to figure...

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    He had Juice kill the mom because she could have linked them to the gun her son used for the school shooting. She was an unreliable junky loose end, and they were trying to avoid the whole RICO thing. He had Juice do it in secret, though, so Nero didn't know he broke his promise to him not to...

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    Agree completely on the kid playing Abel. That scene where he was protecting Thomas with a hammer a few episodes ago... ugh. I don't know if it's Sutter who's ultimately to blame or what, but it's like they don't think the show's good enough without trying to add shock value with sex...

    Things to do in Chicago in December?

    I think Chicago pizza is totally over-rated as well, but if you're around here you might as well try some and see for yourself. Maybe check out a blues club if you're into it? http://www.timeout.com/chicago/music/the-9-best-blues-music-clubs-in-chicago Actually, you could probably...

    Most Rock n Roll Move Ever- Robert Plant Tears Up $800 million Contract

    Came in to say this. Accepting the contract and donating a boatload of cash to do some worth causes would be much more legendary than ripping up the contract. However, I do respect him for deciding to rip it up over just adding to his (and a bunch of other rich execs') personal fortune(s).

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    Not sure how many people would want to open a competing shop. ;) I'm also just ready for the show to be over. It's entertaining, but I would think someone would have caught on to Gemma's BS right now. Especially Unser, since he's seen her pull the stings for decades. I just hope it's...

    Sons of Anarchy Season 7 premieres tonight

    Someone remind me... it's been awhile... how much did Jax find out about how JT really died? I seem to remember Tara knowing at least part of that truth, but can't really remember if Jax ever knew that Clay and Gemma were behind it. Maybe I need to just go back and re-watch the show from the...

    Talk to me about toilets

    You mean water spilled onto the floor from getting under the toilet? No, no it won't, I guess... but that'd probably be a lot of water on the floor and I'm guessing it would end up getting under the finished floor in other ways. Anyway, I'm not saying it's the right way - but back when I...

    Talk to me about toilets

    Had the same issue... tried to double up the wax rings and it was good for a year or two then failed. Then somehow stumbled on this... https://set-rite.com/ It's only been a year since I installed the kit but am pretty confident it'll be fine - the bowl felt way more secure after...

    Talk to me about toilets

    I don't remember where I saw/read it, but the suggestion I followed was to caulk around most of the bottom, leaving a small break in the caulk toward the back of the toilet where you can't see it. Then you still can detect a leak from under the toilet, but get pretty much all the rest of the...

    Mounting 60" plasma to wall

    I just mounted a 60"... made sure I hit 2 studs and then used the included drywall anchors. So there's 4 bolts into studs and 6 into drywall. I'm not worried about it going anywhere. That said, the suggestions to carve out a chunk of drywall to get to the studs and stiffen up the structure...

    Am I missing something? LG Front-loading High efficiency washer is GARBAGE.

    As everyone else suggested, can you change the settings at all? We have an LG at home and have no real complaints, and rarely have to use anything but the normal mode/settings. When we do - whether it's bulky, heavily soiled, etc - those modes all seem to get the job done.

    I need a toilet in a hurry... (recommend a toilet)

    We've replaced both of ours in the last few years - an American Standard upstairs (don't remember the model but it was around $250 at Home Depot so not super cheap), and a Toto Drake II downstairs. I do prefer the Toto (the cyclone flush does seem to work a little better), but both have been...
