    Take the piece that you cut off, remove the vernier on both sides of the cutoff piece. Apply some glue (Elmers Wood Glue). Tap it back into the door. The glued piece will not generally slide out. As a precaution, nail a tack and remove it later when glue is dry.

    1. As mentioned, a GFCI may be tripped in that circuit. Reset the GFCI. If it still trips, unplug all appliances from the outlets in the circuit, then reset again. It may be a defective GFCI.
    2. The cable from the CB usually goes to an outlet then another cable goes from that outlet to the next outlet and so on to the last outlet. Along the way you may have a box that feeds a light switch. Turn OFF THE MAIN POWER SWITCH!
    Now remove the outlet cover, pull out the outlet and check for terminal screw tightness for the wires comming in and the wires going out. You might have a bundle of white wires twisted together (Neutral). They sometimes are loose. Do this to all your outlets on this circuit.
    NOTE! This is dangerous work. If you’re not comfortable with working on electricity, call an electrician. They have tools to track the circuit. They’ll fix it in 30 minutes… Adios… Jasper

    Go to Web Site: They describe how 3 different contractors do it. All three still dig the post hole to 2ft. One spaces posts 8ft and fills half with concrete, half with dirt. Another spaces 8 ft and fills every other hole with concrete, the other with dirt. The last spaces 10ft and fills with concrete.

    If you don’t plan to install cabinets or anything else that requires a level floor, then the slope doesn’t matter. I have my Giant TV against wall on the high side and sofa and chairs in the middle of the room. The slope is not perceptable. On the other hand, I enclosed a closet and pantry on one side and had to cut the bottom of the doors to accomodate the slope. If I had it to do over again I would level the floor even with the house slab.. Adios… Jasper,

    A power Sprayer, the stronger the better, will clean concrete. My sprayer is 2300PSI and it got rid of rust stains.

    The GFCI measures the current flowing to the circuit on the black wire and compares it to the current on the White wire. If they don’t compare, the GFCI opens the HOT wire. It assumes that the missing current is going to earth ground through “YOU” or some other path. Theoretically it cuts off the current before you can get shocked to death.

    in reply to: 7.48 Gallons per CUBIC foot #251487
    Jasper
    Participant

    Square ft times depth(in feet) = Cubic feet
    1 gallon occupies 7.48 Cubic Ft
    Cubic Feet devided by 7.48 Cubic Feet gives you number of Gallons.
    Number of Gallons is 22.28 Gallons

    I agree with LonnythePlumber. Remove the shower head and see if the water is conmming out with higher pressure. If it is, replace the shower head. Another thing that could cause low flow is a restricter that is built in on newer shower heads. Remove shower head from hose and check for the restricter, It’s a piece of plastic/rubber that fits in line with water flow. remove, reassemble shower head and check water flow.

    There’s a motor with a pully that drives a rubber belt around the dryer tub. Something is bound up and not letting the belt go. That causes the pully to rotate on one spot of the belt and heats it up causing it to burn. It’s a good size job to replace the belt and whatever is causiong the bind. Call a repair man… Adios… Jasper

    In that case it’s the panel light switch that’s keeping the oven light on. My oven light only works from the panel light switch.
    In this case, unplug the power cord, open the panel and remove one wire from the switch. Make sure the wire is not touching anything or anyone and plug your power cord in. If the oven light does not come on, then the switch is defective.. Adios… Jasper.

    Go to the Home Depot and have them design one for you. There’s no cost to run the numbers and you get a design printout. They’ll even give you an estimate of the total installed cost…. Adios…. Jasper.
