Magic eraser is likely to just cause a differently discoloured patch of wall by smoothing out the paint/changing the finish

If you use it this rarely, get an electric heater instead. You can even get one that mimics the flames, if this is more for esthetics. This way, you won't accidentally kill your family with carbon monoxide.

> In addition to degreasing the wall, do you have any recommendations to ensure that the final result of the repainted wall will be the same as the original one?

if you're planning on repainting the whole wall, just prime it with some Kilz first, that should make it more uniform

I'm having a similar problem. The smaller tanks have a connection that the propane trucks can't fill where I live.

So I either don't have propane for my fireplace, pay a huge fee for the tank yearly or figure out a way to take the tank to them to refill so I have done nothing.

A shitty pump should be enough

Jeeze! I don't even imbibe and wake up every morning with a headache and cotton mouth.

Strict Taco Bell diet.

If you absolutely need to repaint, cut a dime sized chip of paint off the wall in the area of the original color. Take the chip to some place like Sherwin Williams and they will tell you what paint you need

Have you tried the magic eraser yet? It may be an easy fix before going with other options.

Prune juice.

1 gallon = 4.1ish pounds

My 4 year old poops Campbell soup cans, he'd block that thing in a heartbeat.

Look up the item number for the fireplace insert. The manufacturer should tell you the minimum tank requirements. Might even be on a label on the insert itself. I would think a 10gal tank isn't big enough. I would think 100lb minimum which is about 25gals.

I have a 30,000 btu propane heater. Per the manufacturer requirements it says 100lb tank minimum. When I run out of propane I take it to a hardware store to be refilled. It isn't light when filled but you can move it yourself.

I run a cast iron stove with a 100 lb tank I bought and I go through a fill every year or so. The fills are up to $76 now, but I can put it in my truck myself and bring it down to the hardware store for a fill.

Thank you for your reply!

I will check with the owner, who painted it initially, which luster he used. Maybe even re-order the exact same materials he used back then, and likely repaint the entire wall.

In addition to degreasing the wall, do you have any recommendations to ensure that the final result of the repainted wall will be the same as the original one?

You have to match both color and luster. If you do semi-gloss 9010 paint on a matte 9010 wall for example, you’ll be able to see all of your touch up bc the sheen is different.

You can try again, making sure you got the correct sheen, but be prepared to just repaint the whole wall…. With a sheen that matches (or at least is really close to) the other walls.

Yes you can. Same fittings. 10lb might not last long enough but you can simply just switch it out with another ten

A thing to note, propane have 91500 BTU per gallon. BBQ now are 40-60000btu.

How powerfull is that heater? If it is bellow the 40kbtu then it is not worse than a BBQ.

I do agree with the 40lbs tank.

Also, do not insulate the pipe or worse, the tank. They will get colder when you use propane, you want them to warm up. And yes, cold air is still warmer than the tank!

I work a regional propane/fuel/lubricant distributor. During the tail end of COVID we ran out propane tanks because you simply couldn't get them in due to manufacturer shortages

I recommended a tonne of folks to use 100lb tanks for their fireplaces/water heats/stove tops.

Protip, you can purchase an RV regulator with hookups for two tanks, allowing you to switch from an empty to a full tank by turning a lever. This allows for you to always have a backup tank in place.

Some 100lb tanks will have a liquid overflow valve and if you lay the tank down, you're going to have propane vapor all over your vehicle. Propane tanks need to be transported upright

If I may, I’m in a similar boat to OP and was just wondering if anyone had a ballpark estimate of what this project would cost, as I’m budgeting for a similar project. Thanks in advance!

Macerator pump

Well, with an ejector pump, the brown is going up!

It's all fairly simple to do. What's the amperage of the panel in the garage? Should be a switch at the top that says 60 or maybe 100 amps (might be at the bottom). How many open spots in the panel. What tools do you want to run in the shop. Black and Decker sells a good book on electrical wiring. That's what I started with. I just wired my entire shop myself, meter base, panel, 5 ton AC, lights, welder outlets, everything.

Insulation comes down to how much do you need and buying the right width to fit between your studs. I prefer kraft faced using a staple hammer.

If you don't know already how to wire, I would hire an electrician to make sure it is done well without risking you making a costly mistake. Then do the rest yourself such as batt insulation, drywall, etc. as those are easy for beginners.
