TENINCH Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hey guy I have an Electric Heater for my house. Filter is good and I'm pretty sure the thermostat is working. It's blows but I can't get hot air to come out. The "bulbs" turn red but turn off right away. Any ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be something with the safety switch on it which is making it cut off like you described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used that Scotts Easy Seed Stuff too, that works fantastic. lots of options you can do Update: i ended up spraying some of that crap that @SimsZilla recommended. It didn't kill a single weed haha, and i'm not sure that any of the weed killer actually left the bottle. But i didn't let that stop me. I persevered. I cut the grass/weeds as short as i could with the mower, then overseeded, and raked the seed down. Watered it religiously, and up came the grass about a week later. It looks pretty good. Still a few thin spots, but much better than it looked previously. I'll probably do a little more overseeding in the spring, and also buy some of the dry type weed killer/fertilizer. I think i've been turned off to the bottles you hook up to the hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My heater has a manual that runs through some troubleshooting steps. Do you have something similar? First thing i'd do is disconnect power, then reconnect and try again. If that fails, there may be some points on the circuit board you can bypass/play around with with a multimeter (with the help of your manual) that could help diagnose. As @Incarcerated_Scarface said, it's probably some type of safety switch that's malfunctioning. But hard to tell without a lot more information.

I think the bottle might have been defective or something. What's frustrating with those bottles is that the water goes directly into the bottle, so you can't tell if any of the actual weed killer is coming out. When i went to the store i saw the bottles and i also saw the bags of granules. I should have just grabbed the bags, because i can actually tell how much of that i'm laying down with the broadcaster. Oh well, live and learn. Primary reason for doing all this is to make the lawn look really good for next summer. We'll be trying to sell the house, and a nice lawn can definitely help sell it.

skywlker32 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Anyone here use a camera system for their house? I would like to put something in that would have limited subscription fees and has a doorbell of some sort to connect into the system. I had looked at Nest/Ring, but the subscription fees were higher and the Ring doorbell misses too much. I looked at Arlo, but the cameras are expensive and I've heard a lot of people have issues with them going offline regularly. The best I can find at the moment, I think, is the Wisenet system with bullet cameras and some seemed to indicate that the doorbell camera can integrate with the DVR Systems. Anyone have experience with this system or a similar system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think people underestimate the value of s good yard when selling a house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s big enough to wash my 4020, skid loaders, and my payloader. More of which how I should set up my pits. I basically have to have 3 pits so I can tie into the sewer. Sludge, oil, and water, I’m basically making a little 3:1 sloped pit that will have a drain on one end... im just worried about my pits plugging up on me, just wondering what you can do stop that all my pits are tied into by 4 inch pvc, but a screen I think will just plug up my pvc, I thought about maybe just putting a T in and having it vertically set so the water would be able to run in but I’m not sure if that will work also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't bought or hooked it up yet but I've read good things about the Amcrest system and you can get a good one for under $300 with no subscription Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Has anyone ever turned a workshop or garage or something along those lines into an actual, habitable guest house? I'm wondering what I could be looking at price wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
