Re: [DIY] Forced air

 

If you have a circulating fan in your central heating unit, you have forced air. If you do, you will hear the fan come on when the burner comes on, and air will begin to flow from the vents.

Without the fan it's called convection.

Re: [DIY] whirlpool cabrio washer how do you balance the drum?

 

Thank you very much!  I have previously printed out all that info when I had to figure out how to replace the "brain". 

God is Good!

My washer isn't hi tech like this one appears to be. But I installed it myself. It is front loading too. Before I started it up I had to remove a few bolts that secured the tub for transport. The instructions on mine said the tub wouldn't balance if the transport bolts weren't removed. The out of balance problem made me think of it. Not saying that is what's wrong, but you may closely read the instructions and check for any missed items in installation. I didn't see any reference to transport bolts in the diagram from Sears for your washer.

HELP!!!

On the bright side I did just remove my old dishwasher and install the new one, complete with compression fittings, by myself!!! Yay Me!!!

Thank you for all the help and advice and suggestions I know I'm going to receive from you other DIY'ers out there.

RE: [DIY] Forced air

 

If you have registers that blow air around the room, and returns that suck
air back to the HVAC unit, then you have forced air, if you have radiators,
then you probably have a hot water system.

RE: [DIY] Garage shelf

 

Use a cleat along the wall, nail or screw the shelf to the cleat, then use
some small chain or cable from the outside edge of the shelf up to the
ceiling.

Im wanting to use scrap wood to put up shelf in garage organized area. I'm
gonna look for small brackets at HD but wondered if anyone had a sturdy
simple cheap idea on stabilizing a shelf to a wall. All I can think of is
making triangles. But not easy to nail into wall unless you do it at angle (
toe?).

Re: [DIY] Re: Re: install roof turbine ??

 

I don't use air conditioning, I use an evaporative cooler on the roof. I live in inland Southern, California, not in the desert. It gets hot here but not as hot as it does in the desert. I don't use AC because of the cost to use it. I never installed it.
Most houses around here use air conditioning and their attics are barely vented. What I did was changed my attic entry door to an air conditioning return vent by framing some 2x4's around it. When the evaporative cooler comes on, excess air vents through the attic and out the vents at the top of the roof and eave vents. It drops the temperature in the attic enough for the ceiling temperatures to drop significantly. The attic is insulated but the heat that generates in it during the summer is significant. My house doesn't have any gables but it does have 2 vent caps at the peaks of two roof sections. I put in a bunch of eave vents on the southwest side of the house to encourage ventilation some time ago. That helped too.
I notice the difference in the summer when that vent isn't in the attic entry door. The ceiling gets warm and radiates heat into the living spaces. With the vent in place, the ceiling doesn't radiate noticeable heat at all.
I never used turbines. The neighbors that do, most put a cover on it in the winter. They will leak. Any addition to venting the attic and using lighter colored material to cover the roof will help. The thing to remember is the attic not only needs a place to vent the heat at the top but needs outside screened inlets at the bottom of the attic for cooler air to enter. The better the draft, the better it will transfer the heat.
After I had a new roof put on I decided to put a larger downdraft evaporative cooler on my roof. It required a larger duct and a larger opening in the roof for the vent. I went ahead with it and cut into the new roof. It worked out OK, it leaked a few times afterwards but I found the leaks and it has never leaked again. The original vent was in a valley in the roof too so it more complicated to seal than a normal cut in the roof would be, but it worked out.
Just my own war for comfort and affordability.

Re: [DIY] Magazine rack onto wall

 

Oh like a picture. I have those hooks. I'll have to look for bigger ones though as it is heavy. I just cleaned out my much dreaded hardware bins in the garage and organized everything. Anyone envious? It's exciting to know what I have and what I can work with in my clean garage.

I just have to add my kudos to the men and women who have really sparked my creative sense with their knowledge. It's a wonderful asset in life to receive the generosity of an industrious group of craftsman.

[DIY] whirlpool cabrio washer how do you balance the drum?

 

I have a Whirlpool Cabrio washing machine model #WTW6600SG1
