Hi, I've been pondering an air balance system to install in our mountain cabin. The plan is to create 2 plenums in the corners of two outside walls that run vertically from 1st to 2nd floor, with an inlet near the ceiling of the 2nd floor, a duct fan near the inlet, and an outlet near the floor...

Thanks for all the replies... and then some! I did check on a timer, and yes, it looks to be about $150-$160. Actually, I think I already replaced it about 10 years ago, took maybe an hour. I did some checking with the Mrs. Turns out we bought the washer and dryer 1981. With as few problems...

(Moderator, please move this to the appropriate area, if needed) Hi, I have a billion year old Maytag LA511 washer that has now become possessed. It will start a complete wash cycle all on it's own.:confused: The water will fill - usually to the low level - agitate and spin.:eek: In other...

Problem solved! I went up yesterday to have another look at things and found a suspect receptacle with a loose neutral. Of course, it was nowhere near the problem area (upstairs, on a living room wall, instead of downstairs where the problem was) So, I have to now re-label the breaker panel...

I'm trying to sort out an intermittent issue with a bedroom and bathroom feed. The home was built in '84 - Big Bear Lake, CA. Two downstairs bedrooms and a small bath are feed from one 20A run. One bedroom is fine, receptacles test OK. Second bedroom and bathroom receptacles show 25v neutral...

I've installed a Moentrol #3570 valve in a new shower/tub, but haven't settled on the trim yet. There are a couple of styles we like, but one requires a #S935 valve. It looks to very similar to the #3570 - does anyone know what the difference is? The trim for the S935 is part of Moen's 'Show...

Hello All... first post here, looks like a ton of info available! Here's my situation... The photo below shows the back side of our tiled tub/shower that was built directly on the slab. I don't think that this was original to the house as the previous owners did a major remodel in the early...
