Re: Another glitch on a steam install
Make sure they know you do steam.
That way when it's leaking in the near future you'll get the call.

Can't see how the equalizer is tied in. @GW
The hacks get away with it all the time. Anything over 2" black is a foreign object to them. I thought I was the only one. If I had installed it like that the boiler would have likely blown up on start up.
Re: Another glitch on a steam install
Maybe you can figure out a way to tell them you know steam and if they have problems to call you.

Re: Weird Noise from 3/4" Wilkins 350XL Double Check Valve
A follow up … I installed the replacement cartridge and its quiet as can be! I will take the old one apart later, but I would guess that one of the seats failed. I guess that's why the sell these kits because nothing lasts forever, except for your marriage 😎

Re: PTAC Air conditioner Blower fan hitting cover
depends on how it is designed. since you have many of these, why don't you find a service manual?

Re: I'll Fix It, Honey.
Those thermostats and relay were common place when I entered the field in 1968. Look how far we have come! They were so easy to trouble-shoot, wire, and repair/replace. Those were the simple days.

The whole blower assembly should be removable.

Re: PTAC Air conditioner Blower fan hitting cover
this is covered in "broken mount" but the motor may be mounted on resilient bushings that have rotted away and allowed the motor to move. especially if it was bouncing around in a truck.

Re: PTAC Air conditioner Blower fan hitting cover
they removed them
they cleaned them
They reinstalled them
get a hold of them and make them aware of the noise they have to deal with it

Re: Ladder standoffs for roofs
That is a sketchy location. What's in the yard in front of it? More or less level? I have a rather nice but exceedingly heavy 16 foot stepladder (one of those contraptions — Werner I think) which would do, but not if the ground wouldn't support it.
I'm cheap. Well, not cheap, but let's say the budget is limited… even so for that application I would find a place which rented man lifts and take it for a couple of days…
