[quote]Kill the breaker before you mess with anything. Don’t just turn off the switch[/quote] Been doing electrical work since I was 9. 50 years. I wasn't much help at 9 but Daddy tolerated it. I have worked on shite hot, when I was a young man it was a badge of honor, not to mention stupidit...
[quote]hopefully this is the case. The plumbing stands be 10x more difficult than then the wiring part.[/quote] Twisting the old disposal off lying on your back at a bad angle in a tight spot with the stank of whatever the frick goes on under a kitchen (or any sink for that) sink is infinite...
[quote]Seeing your nice Klien meter tells me that you know what you are doing. But, the junction box makes me wonder what's going on. The 6 wire nuts make me think that two appliances are hardwired... unusual. You might want to have an electrician sort it out before installing a more useful socket.[...
[quote]Another question - if I install ground rod to subpanel ground bar would y’all still recommend grounding box to metal building frame via copper wire? On separated ground bar - ground rod, 4th wire connecting main feeder and subpanel, ground wire connecting building frame to ground bar, then gr...

[quote]Yea man I'll be honest, I like sticking it to Allstate Nobody shorts their homeowners out of money quite like Allstate. State Farm is close behind. But you're right, you shouldn't be out to scam them, but it is worth getting the most out of your claim. There's no reason for your house to be ...

[quote]you will probably have to remove the siding all the way down to the damaged siding and then go up from there., Would probably be faster[/quote] It would be far less labor intensive. Doing some minor repairs is one thing, doing 50% means just about every piece has to be moved slightly....i...
Talented depth is and will be the most important roster detail. Getting the championship bye can mitigate that to some extent but there is also the problem with getting rusty with 3 weeks off. And going home for the holidays and getting in trouble. ...
[quote]It's a legitimate question if you drop the getting rid of Missouri part. But I imagine if the SEC is trying to match the BIG and get to 18 teams any time soon Georgia Tech would not be one of those two teams.[/quote] The Big10 would probably take Tech in a heartbeat and at this point in ti...
[quote]All Georgia Tech has to do is ask to be let back in. It's in the SEC charter.[/quote] Is it? I have never heard that before. I wish Tech was still in the SEC (I am not among the majority of Dawg fans in this). I have always heard that when Tech left the rest of the conference was of the...
I am not sure the ceiling ain't higher in Knoxville. Oklahoma is seriously getting into Nebraska territory except Oklahoma's schedules going forward are going to be slightly to significantly more difficult than Nebraska's are. I know OU is a true blue blood BUT that is easy to obtain when Kansas i...
Hard not grade UGA relative to recent seasons compared to this one but I would say UGA is a B, B+ at best. Played a good game Saturday but CFB is QB centric and despite physically assaulting Texas in Austin Carson Beck did not have a game he will want NFL scouts reviewing.......

[quote] They normally mail a check and email your estimate, but yes, that is standard practice. You have RCV (replacement cost coverage). They give you initially what your siding/roof is worth factoring in age and wear, think of KBB for a vehicle. Except unlike auto where KBB is all that you get, w...
[quote]I'm adding a 100 amp subpanel to a detached building to supply power for lights (1 15 amp circuit) and outlets (2 20 amp circuits). I'll be adding a double pole 60 amp breaker from my exterior combo meter box on the house and running 2224 aluminum wire to the subpanel. The subpanel will have ...

Home-owners insurance claim

Posted by AwgustaDawg on 10/21/24 at 12:00 pm
We have owned a home since our early 20s and had several rental properties at one time and in 35 years we have had 2 claims. Not what one would called experienced with homeowners insurance claims. That said Allstate deposited just under $20k in our checking account last night without notifying us ...

[quote]Man I just don't see this working at all. Either going to have to facenail it or remove start over. And I haven't had much luck in removing hardi without it breaking apart. Weird to have so much wind damage for hardi. Makes me think the installers may've "high nailed" it which is nailing too ...
[quote] Smart’s teams seem to feel disrespected sometimes and come out slinging. It happened when a newly minted #1 Tennessee visited Athens in 2021. This Texas game reminded me of that. The only difference was the weather- it poured in that Tennessee game.[/quote] They were very similar in n...
