I don’t know what system you have or how your door and window sensors are configured but I have frontpoint with wireless sensors that have a small battery in them. When the battery starts to go bad, my sensors start acting odd. Not showing the door has been closed, not showing it’s been opened, show...

You made the right choice. It’s easier to buy the entire regulator than fight that damn cable. You saved yourself hours of useless pain. In my experience, $100 part would still have been worth it. ...

Does anyone have recommendations for a contractor on the northshore or someone that travels to the northshore to build a detached garage. My parents are looking to build a garage and haven’t had luck with some contractors. ...

When i did my bathroom, I ended up using the Tile Coach videos as a good foundation for my knowledge. He has a video here that I believe may answer your transition question. [link=(https://youtu.be/TtVwkBVtdi4)]Tile Coach[/link]...

I am traveling for work in late October and will likely have the option of either Tokyo or Guam. I've never been to either place. Flights are about the same time wise with the trip to Guam having 2 stops. I'm leaning towards Guam because it's still technically a US territory with English speaking...

I owed a little for state as well. Turbo tax asked me when i wanted the money withdrawn and I chose a date that worked for me. Sure enough, it was withdrawn the day i chose. If you didn't select a date, they won't withdraw until the final day taxes are due (4/15) if i'm not mistaken on what i rea...

[quote]The air intake could be clogged causing the burner to be starved of oxygen.[/quote] I'm betting this somehow too. I removed my water heater to do some flooring work and put it back and while putting the vent lid back on, i didn't put the legs on to space the vent lid from the exhaust at the ...

To be clear, the unit comes on after temperature inside gets above thermostat temperature? If so, is it blowing air out the vents but just room temperature? If that is true, the capacitor may be bad. You can usually tell this by either testing the microfarad rating on the capacitor or feeling the ...

[quote]The only humane answer is get a dog. Cats avoid yards with dogs.[/quote] I can tell you with 100% certainty that’s not the case. Not only do they still come in my yard but they do it at night when my dog is asleep inside. They also enjoy shitting in my yard during that time too. Dogs are only...

I have extensive experience with this issue since my neighbor is a colony owner in Jefferson parish and it drives me nuts. I have tried every little trick you can find (moth balls, pepper, motion sprinklers, dog, animal urine, etc). None of if worked long term. Cats are nocturnal and cause all your...

[quote]If you are taking the standard, the 1098 is of no value to you.[/quote] To be clear, i'm not doubting you and the more reading i do, the more it appears you are correct but i still don't know why that wouldn't be questioned on a tax return by TurboTax if i chose standard deduction but added t...

I'm certainly no expert here but i've submitted my interest deduction from the 1098 form for several years now via TurboTax and it has never been an issue. Either i've totally misunderstood that and submitted or it is a viable option. Turbotax in the past has never stopped me from filing that even...

I'm not itemizing deductions, especially since the stndard deduction was again raised to 27K for married filling jointly. Also, last year, that section was definitely for mortgage interest deduction and not a credit. I'm 99.9% sure of that...

I was going to recheck my W4 elections since my company and pay has recently changed. I was going through the steps and noticed the section related to Mortgage interest deduction (1098 form) on the IRS W4 estimator website now displays a Mortgage Interest credit instead of a deduction from taxable ...

There used to be a way in Teams to adjust inactivity time turning you to "away". I suspect that option has been removed. That said, as other posted mentioned, while it can be monitored, IT staff has many other support and hardware based activities that need to be accomplished in a day that don't...

I just had a friend have the same exact issue with his 9500 predator inverter. After he tried several troubleshooting steps with air, fuel, and spark, it ended up being the low oil shutoff switch. It must be a common problem on these things. The oil was completely full. He unplugged it, and it ended...

In most cases with portable generators that you'd run on NG, your best bet is to buy either a standard gasoline model or a dual fuel model and buy a tri-fuel regulator kit from Century fuel products, motor snorkel, etc. Their regulators are created and better equipped to run generators on low press...

[quote] I used a fernco reducer and hose clamps to prevent the stand pipe from overflowing[/quote] this is my next plan to see if it stops this. [quote]he washing machine pipe backup was forced into the kitchen sink.[/quote] Thankfully, this hasn't occurred but i don't have a dishwasher so i hand...

Same situation as you. It overflows very quickly which to me points more toward the pump shoving more water than the drain line can handle at one time more so than an obstruction. I agree that i think the pump could likely be the cause of this. I'm worried about putting an obstruction in the pipe ...

My wash machine drain line will back up when I run a smaller load where the clothes don't saturate most of the water in the tub. Larger loads don't tend to overflow it. I've checked the p-trap and it's clear. I have a cleanout right above the drain inside the house but as usual, it's old cast iro...
