What's "broken" on the one you have? There generally are not moving parts on a softener system with the exception of the electric head on the softener tank. The heads can be screwed off/on if it's as simple as that. I bought a system from Springwell and did the install myself but with all the...
Garbage disposal went out. Replaced it with a new one. Didn't do dishes for a couple of days due eating out and also replacing piping with PEX in same general time frame. Starting doing dishes and dish washer would not drain water after completing a cycle. Fiddled with it a couple of days. Final...
I'm having a backup generator installed here soon and Generator Supercenter (Houston) came out and quoted me. Our natural gas comes in on one side of the house and the electrical main on the other so I was either going to have to take gas or electrical to the location we put the generator. They qu...

They have 3-way dimmers that you can dim from both switch locations. I have them installed in my house. [link=(https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lutron-Maestro-LED-Dimmer-Switch-Kit-for-Dimmable-LED-Halogen-and-Incandescent-Bulbs-3-Way-or-Multi-Location-White-MACL-153M-RHW-WH/203486520)]Home Depot[/l...
I'm in Houston and we had two pine trees removed and stump grinded about a month ago. They were right next to the house and in a neighborhood. Probably 60 year old trees so very good size. We used a fully insured company and it was $2,002.63 (including tax). They had both trees cut down to the s...
I just got through doing a PEX (Uponor/expansion) re-pipe of my entire house, well...almost done, to replace the old galvanized steel pipe. There were times through the process where I was turning the main water supply on and off again since I kind of replaced it in phases to keep running water mos...
I decided to do it all myself. I bought the posts, gate and side panels from amazinggates.com https://www.amazinggates.com/default.asp. They are still doing a 40% off sale on driveway gates. It cost me around $1.4K for a 10' gate and side panels. I bought the lift master gate arm online for a li...
Background: I started woodworking about 12 years in a townhouse with no yard and a 2 car garage with one side used a shop and the other for parking, so space was very limited. We have since moved but still have a 2 car garage with 1 side being actively used to park in. Most of my woodworking has ...
Agree with just about everything stated above except I would add that it's probably a good idea to drill, sleeve and dowel into the existing slab so that if there is any movement, the new slab will move with the house slab....
Let me start by telling you what I see. Pulled to the right of the box, I see a black and a white (discolored) 12/2 or 14/2 and pulled to the left of the box, I see a black, a red, and a white 12/3 or 14/3. I do not see a ground/bare copper wire anywhere in the photo. You need to determine wh...
I can live with that. Thanks for having me. Love this board/site and hope I can contribute. ...
I don't know what drove me to finally create an account on TD and actually post something instead of lurk. Oh I remember, it's because I spent a weekend doing exactly what keakar, LSUtigermE, etc said to do with the water jet and PVC pipe. It does work. I drove a 3/4" PVC pipe under a 9' wide dr...
