re: Supply Co. Razor or Safety Razor recs
Posted by LSUPat on 4/18/24 at 7:21 am
I use a Muhle R89 safety razor with Astra blades. If you need extra lubrication, use grapeseed oil, don't waste money on shaving oil. Buy a quality badger hair bush. I use Poraso shaving cream. Everything is on Amazon....

Posted by LSUPat on 12/31/23 at 6:59 am
I buy OEM parts on Amazon. I bought non-OEM rollers for my dryer. They disintegrated and smelled like burnt rubber. Lesson learned. I do shop around once I get the part number.

re: Another AC Question
Posted by LSUPat on 8/13/23 at 9:53 pm
ItzMe1972 has it right. It is your start capacitor. The fact that the fan ran after you spun tells me the run capacitor is fine. I changed both this summer. If one fails the other one probably isn't far behind. ...

re: Outside condenser fan not spinning
Posted by LSUPat on 8/11/23 at 5:03 pm
My units have 2 capacitors. One is the start capacitor and the other is the run capacitor. Sounds like the start capacitor if you have 2. My start capacitor is brown and about the size of a six ounce can. Mine is by the circuit board on the outside unit....

I have a RainSoft as well. Works great for a water softener. I can only get the replacement water filters from the RainSoft distributor. I need to have my RO/filter unit serviced. I am thinking it will be expensive. ...
re: Experiences with radiant barrier in attics
Posted by LSUPat on 6/20/23 at 11:44 am
I plan on putting up some in the fall, adding insulation, and sealing the gaps around light fixtures, vents, etc. I will be putting in rafter vents too. The attic foil will be placed only between rafter vents and attic fan to allow ventilation. Attic fan will quickly remove any heat accumulation....
re: Water heater replacement
Posted by LSUPat on 6/13/23 at 2:22 pm
I went tankless a year ago. You clean the system annually with vinegar and a submersible pump. It is easy to do. It is preventative maintenance. A tank should be drained yearly as well.I did not like having a 50 gallon tank in the attic. 30 year warranty vs 12 year was a no brainer. Cost of 2 water ...
