    Help! New breaker turns off power to other breakers

    Called electrician I called an electrician. I was in a rush to get the heat going and instead of double checking my connections just made a huge mistake. I believe the main breaker might need to be replaced. Anyway, thanks!

    Help! New breaker turns off power to other breakers

    Here is my problem. I am installing a 240v electric heater. I ran three wires for the new 40a circuit. At the heater, being dumb, I connected the two hot wires as one to L1 and the neutral white to the other hot bracket as L2, instead of connecting the red and black to both connections on the...

    Replace Duct vs. Manual Damper

    I am remodeling my home, and I am adding more insulation to the walls and sealing all the air leaks. Basically, some rooms get more air than other rooms. I am wondering if it is possible to install a manual damper inside the duct or is it better to replace the branch duct with a smaller one...

    New Master Bath Design

    I realized this wasnt the way to go, but I put it out there just to make sure. No luck involved on that one I attached an isometric drawing. Tell me if those are S-Traps or P-traps, because I know my sketchup isnt that accurate, which is intentional for now. If they are, how can I make it a...

    New Master Bath Design

    Wait, how are they S traps. In every diagram I have ever seen, the bath and shower P-trap is always two 90s connected like a U and another 90 at the end. If I were to put another 90, then it would be an S-trap. Correct me if I am wrong. I knew I was testing the limits there, just wanted to...

    New Master Bath Design

    Sketchup can be a pain at first, but I've started to ignore all the little inconsistencies. Plus, its free and I can get more detail than some software that costs over $500. I think I've finally got it. The shower and tub are way too far back to vent to the wall with every other fixture, so...

    New Master Bath Design

    Thanks for the comments. I was wondering if only the lav vents needed to have the 42" clearance or all vents, either way, quick fix on that. I made the vents complex on purpose, but my goal is to simplify, which I am not sure how to go about without breaking some minor plumbing code...

    New Master Bath Design

    A month in the making, and I think I am ready to submit my entire remodel plans for a permit to begin work very soon. One of my biggest challenges has been designing the plumbing for the new master and guest bathrooms. Here it is. I would just like some feedback on the design. If its too...

    How to replace sewage pump copper pipes???

    I knew just going with a pro wouldnt make my life any easier. So, I had a plumber come out today and I got the, "I need to figure out a price on this and I'll get back to you", so I know its going to be expensive. No pun intended, but I think I am going to have to do this myself as I originally...

    How to replace sewage pump copper pipes???

    I called around for the Zoeller Simplex M267, and so far the range is between $500 - $650, and it costs the same to just get someone to install it so I'm not even going to bother with it, and leave it to the pros. Besides, I have enough projects to tackle with plumbing two new bathrooms, taking...

    How to replace sewage pump copper pipes???

    From what I can tell, the bathroom downstairs uses the pump. The rainwater pipes are hidden, and more than likely drain directly into the sewer, but then again I could be wrong. As far as pumps go, I was going to get a Zoeller pump, but none of the big chain stores around here have them, and...

    How to replace sewage pump copper pipes???

    I measured the copper pipes going into the pump and the outside diameter is 7". Does this mean that I need a 3-3.5" PVC pipe to replace the current pipe? Catcher_chick, I pulled up the cover plate, and there is not a basin installed in there, the pump was just placed in the well by itself...

    How to replace sewage pump copper pipes???

    Thanks. I'm definitely going to tackle this, this weekend. One more thing, I was looking online to get those Fernco couplings, and only a couple of places have them. Does anyone know any hardware stores in Chicago or online I can get them?? I'll look into that alarm, but one thing at a time.

    How to replace sewage pump copper pipes???

    Thanks for the reply. I think I got it, seems pretty straight forward. Just wondering, why replace the one end of the couplings as PVC??

    How to replace sewage pump copper pipes???

    I am remodeling my basement. I have a Rigid 1/2 HP sewage pump that is being used for the basement bathroom. Every time it operates, sewer gas comes through and since the furnace is right by it, it fills the entire house with the odor and dissipates in about 5 minutes. I just want to know...
