I think it runs…..use it and feel thrifty but concerned it won’t last….maybe it will, maybe it won’t or use a primer, sand and multiple coats…and know it will last. Gamble or certainty.

What is the point of this group then?

I have a question that I am asking. This question is a research I am doing. If I have to do research before posting anything then I would have got the answer.

That mix was way too dry. It won't set properly without adequate hydration.

Foundation plaster

No, but I have made that mistake before..

Steps to try

• Penitrating fluid
• Pipe on your wrench/allen key to make handle longer for more leverage
• Blow torch to heat it, this helps to free the rust
• Angle grinder to just cut it off

Check out the Home Renovision YouTube channel. And Vancouver Carpenter. Lots of great advice and how-to.

Like in the picture I linked, the 2nd half of the "door" with the red circle on it isn't designed to be opened. Trying to go through a wall and then my house's siding, etc. seems like it would be 10000% more risk of me messing something up, VS just having a small black/white cap on the bottom of the door frame, since I don't plan to have the wire running out the door 99% of the time.

I’m in the US

Thanks, much appreciated.

The door never opens? Not a problem but it would look more esthetic pleasing going through a wall with a plate of some sort.

Shut off power to the well pump. There will be a check valve to prevent backflow from going into the well but there should be little to no pressure behind the pump so you can cut out the bad section and glue in a new section in its place.

Your friendly neighborhood hardware store will have a selection of hole plugs. Get those before you drill. Use a spade bit and go in halfway on each side.

Not a big deal. That spot is nowhere near the glass. As for the caps, just go on Amazon and search for "3/4 inch plastic hole caps," and you'll find several different types.

What's wrong with the cans the paint came in?

Are you running the cord and attaching it to the panels yourself? If not and it's a normal extension cord plug, your hole is going to need to be a good amount bigger.

Drilling a hole in a french door... not something I'd recommend for a solar wire. The door wont care and you say not openable so if it's in worn condition then sure you could. Did you verify the door is wood not metal skinned?

A cap for a hole like this would be an easy 3D print job. Or you could get a 3/4" dowel and cut your own plug. Put a little door knob pull on it and you could insert & remove as needed.

> "hard wax" oils people now seem to want to put on floors are also hardened with isocyanate

Sorry to go off topic but this caught my eye because I was recently recommended, by a very helpful local store, Rubio Monocat Oil Plus 2C to be used for DIY hardwood finishing. The employees at the store recommended this as a low-VOC option and the issue of PPE did not come up at all during the otherwise lengthy conversation.

The web site boasts 0% VOC, and when I search the manufacturer web site for "isocyanate" I get nothing.

Elsewhere I get this:

"Yes, our B-component has < 0.1% free isocyanates in it, but it’s not toxic. Not for the applicator of the product, nor for the people living in the room where the Accelerator, comp. B was used. That is a fact that has been confirmed by 2 independent established companies."

How would you go about making sure that this product is in fact safe to install for an amateur?

That'll work fine

It's easy for me to say I'd go for it, but I could fix it if it broke, and I kind of have the muscle memory to know "this is gonna break if I have to wrench on it harder". If one of my employees just added a tee, I'd be irritated because it would be lazy work, and the customer doesn't hire us to do lazy work.

But! Adding another tee is 100% possible, and while I would never do it, you definitely can and I give you my blessing to just add the tee and leave it at that 👍 it'll still be better than government work!

Definitely check breakers as in earlier post. Dryer will run on one leg of the breaker, but it will not heat. Cheap and easy fix and hope that is your problem. Sometimes breakers become weak over time.

If it's gas and you're in the UK it's literally illegal to tinker with it.

Don't.

Call a certified (Gas-safe) plumber.

You can't afford a £10m lawsuit if you damages your neighbour's house.

P.S. the flame should NEVER burn orange. It means it's burning incompletely and is a carbon monoxide risk.

Get a damn plumber.

What should I do instead?
