I really don’t know for sure but I’ll venture a guess. Was it a two wire timer? Assuming it is two wire and assuming it is solid state then it is using the load as it’s connection to neutral to...

Hahaha you’re right! Man incandescent lights are a thing of the past. If I remember correctly I heard a Canadian guy say they are basically banned in Canada. The other day in Home Depot I noticed...

Yeah I hear what you are saying and I’m honestly not sure what to think because I personally haven’t researched it enough. I do respect the opinions of experts like the ones you mentioned, but their...

Is that first burner going out correlated with the blower motor turning on?

Are the burners corroded and what manifold pressure does the furnace call for and what was your manifold pressure? I know you mentioned 3.5 but I didn’t know if that was manifold pressure or not.

What’s your reference point...ground? I suspect something else may be going on. Can you measure across the switch and see if you actually are getting a 20V drop. Let’s say the fan pulls 1 amp,...

UV light is definitely effective at killing microbes. Our local water treatment facility switched over to a UV system so they no longer have to use chlorine as the treatment. UV is incredibly...

I like them. I did some research on it and decided to put one in my own house and that was NOT cheap.

Ok I uploaded a demo of hooking and unhooking a few things including something difficult like the appion recovery pump. I also modified the grappling hook to make it even better!
...

Dang it I gave my identity away [emoji23]

Had to work kinda late today, but I’ll try and post something on this tomorrow. That compressor was a total mo fo to get in and out!

Yeah I was kinda surprised when I got it. It’s built like a tank. I’ll be lowering pump and recovery today so I’ll let you know how it goes!

Hahahaha yeah we could go with cap’n tech hook [emoji851] hahaha...lord I think I need more of a life outside of hvac...I’m turning into too much of a nerd haha.

Well the body is every so slightly magnetic so that’s stainless. The claws are very magnetic so I’m guessing steel (could be a magnetic alloy of stainless but I doubt it).

It was around $30, may be cheaper on ebay. I put a link to the one I bought in the video description, but there were quite a few amazon vendors selling the same thing...some may be cheaper than...

Ah yes that’s a big problem with buckets...the handle falls down so close to the side of the bucket!

Oh yes that would be epic revenge on a tool thief hahaha

You could also use it to snag the college kid that did that. Soy boys don’t weigh much these days, they’d be easy to reel in. You could bait the hook with a picture of fortnite or something from...

I’ve been experimenting with using a grappling hook to get things up and down a roof. Obviously there are other options like a gofer. But so far this has been a great addition so I just figured I’d...

I say go for it! [emoji846]

The only vrf I would install is Mitsubishi but you don’t need vrf for a home...just do Mitsubishi mini splits.

Nice work dude! Tiling sucks and grouting too [emoji3525]. I’ve done quite a bit of it. Do you feel good about the grouting part or do you need a few pointers?

I would braze in a tap. I wouldn’t use the temporary style (ie saddle style) taps.

Yes US General is surprisingly good. I put a very large US General tool box in my van and it’s really nice!

I used that same spot. Now that I have the bigger appion vacuum pump and the appion recovery machine, I slide then both as close as possible to the side of the van near the wheel well. Because of...

I have never changed one because of a white spot and have never had a call back because of that. I feel like the white is mostly just due to the nature of burning gas...look on the glass pane of a...

Thanks for the update! Let us know how it turns out!

What would be nice is if the fittings under the hood were 1/4 flare instead of those quick connects. The quick connects are nice when they work and when they are easily accessible but otherwise they...

No it’s not necessary but you may want to anyway since a thermostat failure can be very bad for the equipment. Look into getting an eco bee I really like them.

When you closed the txv all the way what did your pressures do?

Also what’s the condition of the evap coil and is it clean?

I have brazed a lot of steel with braze that’s compatible with steel and it’s amazing how strong it is. It would probably work to drill a hole and braze in a nipple (do not use sil phos on steel). ...

True [emoji3]

I think you mean eccentric...

Anyway I’ve got that one you mentioned and it’s really nice. I also use the spin flare a lot and love em. I also use the yj 60278 and it makes absolutely beautiful...

Hmmm sounds like you have some other issues going on there [emoji15]

Exactly! I just wrote a post about this. We have iphones that are basically super computers and we’re stuck with these shit thermostats that we hardly have any control over. I mean why in the hell...

Well if it was mine I would just repair the cable. However if anyone can find the part number it would be rundawg.

If you are actually in the trade as you claim to be then go straight to...

I pretty much had the same experience. I think mine was 50lb also. I had a friend talk me into trying a smaller bag. I was sure that I wouldn’t like it because I couldn’t fit everything I “needed”...

Ok I suggest getting down in the crawl space and visually inspecting the duct. Make sure there are no tears in that flexline or the trunk line. Something is going on that is making that line...

[emoji23] that’s awesome hahaha. One time I actually thought I was going to need mine. It was raining and I couldn’t see anything. I ended up accidentally turning down a gravel road that was...

Exactly! When I find a leaking flare I always try and redo it. I properly done flare does not leak so anytime I find a leaking one I’m always suspect.

Give me some details about your system. You said “furnace”...does that mean natural gas furnace? Is the register that smells fed from ductwork that goes through an attic or crawlspace?

Damn pack rats. I had one completely clog my bathroom fan vent. I couldn’t believe how many acorns I had to remove. Maybe it was a squirrel...huge huge pita to get access to that fan.

I would need to do it myself to be sure but it sounds like there was a leak on the vapor line (ie the bigger line).

Nice setup dude! I especially like your customer service tool in the bottom left photo [emoji23]

Really? Man I wish the supply houses around here carried them. If I had been able to just see it I would have bought it a long time ago. I had to order 2 just to get 1 (apparently they come in a...

Yes that is the tricky thing about leak detector. Bubbles form just by spraying it (although if you’re careful you can greatly reduce the bubbles). Those bubbles look different from leak bubbles. ...

Cool! Post a pic if you got one. I’d be interested in seeing your setup!

As a matter of fact, if anyone has pics of tool bag set up I’d like to see them. Sometimes I get ideas for my own setup...

I do have a 325 that I like a lot. My 902 is my go to but the 325 is smaller and does dc amps. I used it mostly on generators but I don’t do those anymore.

[emoji23] I hear ya! I started with the veto backpack and I thought I could never go smaller then I went to the Tech-MC and realized that I really liked the downsize. Then I downsized again to the...

I wanted to share this because it took me a while to settle on this bag and I wish I would have known about it sooner. It would have saved me a lot of money and hassle.
