Re: Spanish power grid
DC is used for a number of the very high power interconnects — including the ones between France and Spain. Problem is, while they can contribute power if needed, they can't do anything to stabilise grid frequency and thus oscillations. Hence… lights out. The problem is being worked on… but nowhere near to practical engineering never mind installation yet.

LOL. My house was the same way. I only fixed everything so i could sell it. Never had the time to fix my own place but had the time to fix everyone else's crap.

Similarly, it is said, "a carpenters house is always unfinished" and " the mechanic wife's car is the last to be repaired"

Re: Replacement Gas Boiler Size
3 cycles in an hour is not short cycling if the burner is actually firing the whole time there is a call for heat. Get ezzyt to look at it, he is one of the best.

Re: basement heat
Be careful about return ducts in the basement if you have a gas or oil furnace requiring combustion air from that space
Re: House heats up but thermostat is turned off AND thermostat's battery is dead
Left - Relay de-energized, contacts open.
Right - Relay energized contacts closed. Pressure from an ill placed wire could push the armature (the black plastic part) and erroneously close a contact.

Re: Is this a house trap?
risers to the surface are usually cleanouts to clean the line without dragging a machine in the basement or abandoned downspout connections.

Re: Is this a house trap?
That's the next step, but they are telling me they won't do it if I don't remove the trap. That's why I'm trying to remove the trap. I guess I have some more digging to do. Or do you think there isn't a trap?
