Hey, I am looking for an internet resource for appliance repair. Google wasn't much help. This website has always been a source for useful knowledge! Any help is appreciated. Thx, Rog Smith

Folks, Terry Love and this forum has helped me so many times over the previous 10+ years. My sympathy and condolences to the family. Does Terry, or the family, have a preferred charity? I would like to make a donation. Thanks, Rog Smith rfsmith48@gmail.com

A little bit of everything. This week I resealed a toilet. I graded, ground clothed and planted a small garden, etc. BTW: I am 74 and both knees have been replaced. I am looking for specific products and recommendations. Thanks! Rog

Hey, I need a recommendation for kneepads. The ones I have now are sloppy/stretched out, and the Velcro is tired. I am 6 foot, about 220 pounds. Thanks for the help! Rog

The furnace is a Lennox SL280UHV. Install instructions state: "...is compatible with any Lennox communicating thermostat. Or, Non-communicating thermostats - ComfortSense or other conventional thermostats." Not a lot of help (For me). I would like to use a Honeywell WIFI tstat. Thanks, Rog

Folks, We just had a new Lennox furnace installed. It has a 2 speed fan. The fan necessitated a thermostat upgrade for the new fan system. Previous Tstat: RTH8580WF1007: WIFI thermostat that I installed about 6 years ago. New Tstat: T6 Pro Thermostat: Programmable. I would like to replace the...

Hey Taylorjm, Thanks for the response. What is the furnace rating that addresses the ability of the furnace to support the square footage of a house? Our house is about 1800 sq ft. And is there a "rule of thumb" that is useful for comparing the furnace blower rating to the house size? Thanks...

Thanks, will do. Rog

Folks: I have a 50 year old house in Boulder CO. With a 50 year old gas furnace.... Heating degree days here are about 5600. The local utility has been promoting heatpump HVAC systems for homes. With rebate incentives. BUT....None of the local contractors I have talked with want to quote...

Folks, We have a 50 year old Lennox furnace that seems to be working fine. About a week ago, I checked and changed the hammock style air filter. I noticed some charred residue under the pilot light area. I don't remember seeing this condition before. I vacummed out the residue and closed up the...

Hey, Thanks for the response. Two of the blocked spray heads had loaded up the screens. Cleaned them up and everything works well. Thanks again! Rog

Hey, I have a Rainbird system that is about 15 years old. No big problems until this year. The First zone which is mostly pop up heads is not flowing well. It worked fine last year. It behaves like there is a (new) flow restriction somewhere in the zone. Has anyone else seen this sort of...

Hey, I am looking for forum suggestions/recommendations for cabinet and furniture refinishing. I suspect that there are (Non Terry Love) forums that are useful for this type of advice. All help is appreciated. Thx, Rog

Folks, We installed a Ronbow vanity and sink about 5 years ago. Yesterday, we left the water running with the drain closed. The overflow runs at about half the faucet flow. Small flood. The faucets and drains are Kohler. (Not sure the model) I cleaned up the mess and am trying to figure out...

Folks, Is there another Web Forum with a larger number of HVAC folks? BTW: Not sure what a "Blower door" is. There are no movable parts near the fan on this furnace. Thanks again, Rog

Hey, I saw a show on "This Old House" (I think) several years ago that demonstrated HVAC vents that were individually controlled via several room controllers working thru the home Wifi. (I couldn't find a web reference to the show.) We have a '70s Bilevel house, and the lower level is COLD...

Hey, I need to tap into an existing circuit to feed water to a small flower garden. The plan is to install a T below an existing head. To do that I need to remove the existing 90 degree fitting and replace it with a T. I would like to avoid shortening the Head hose, or digging it up entirely...

Thanks DonL, The bearings themselves seem to be fine. The rubber isolation donut is shot on the drive side, not much better on the opposite side. I have found one website with (Apparently) the replacement parts. It looks like I will have to buy the bearings to get the isolation donuts. Thanks...

Hey guys, I got another interesting problem. (At least to me.) 45 year old Lennox furnace, model G10-165-1. Furnace and blower run fine, but the blower makes a lot of noise when running. I got it apart this AM. There are 2 sets of rubber isolaters: Small rubber pads at the pivot point for...
