Is my attic leaking?

2024.05.02 04:11 nyr4lyf Is my attic leaking?

I have nothing in my attic that would cause a leak (ex: pipes, ceiling piping for central a/c, compressors, etc). Roof is about 10 years old, was told that it was healthy as if 2021. Nothing has happened to my roof between now and then, except this mark. I have no idea when it appeared, maybe in the past few months. I just started seeing ants in my living room, which I took care of with Terro. It seems like ants are coming from this bathroom fan.
Should I call a handyman/GC, pest patrol, or a roofer?

2024.04.30 00:09 walkering Inherited tools questions

My father just passed and left behind a basement and garage full of tools. He was a handyman, and could fix and build most things. To this point in my life, I’ve not taken after him in this way. I’d like to keep some of what he left behind, but I’m not certain what is necessary for general home maintenance.
Imagine a space with four versions of every tool. What is worth keeping? He has four table saws, air compressors, lathes, and every hand tool you can imagine. Is there value having more than one of each tool? Why have four table saws? Two lathes? 40 screwdrivers of variable size?

2024.04.29 21:19 onionstew666 NC Tenant Rights - what can we do??

I rent a house with two roommates in North Carolina- all three of our names are on the lease. We initially signed a one-year lease, and after that year it transitioned to a month-to-month lease agreement. We rent from a private landlord, a married couple, and primarily communicate via text with the wife.
Our latest issue is that the AC no longer works. We informed her on April 16. A tech reported that the compressor was broken two days later, and then she had another person come out to quote replacing the whole unit on the next day (Apr 19th). I texted her on Wednesday the 24th to ask for an update, and finally on the 26th she responded saying it would be "5800 dollars and we need some time to get the money."
I asked again today (29th) for an update, and she said "Hi yes, unfortunately we can't afford it right now and we needed to purchase a home warranty. It will only be effective on May 23rd." I asked what happened to the home warranty** that they had last year, and she said they didn't renew it. She did finally offer a $300 rent reduction for the month of May. (out of 2220 total)
I don't believe NC or our local housing code require air conditioning for a "fit and safe" residence, but AC is mentioned in our lease: "Maintain in good and safe working order and promptly repair all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and other facilities and appliances supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord provided that notification of needed repairs is made to the landlord in writing by the tenant, except in emergency situations."
**The reason that I know they had a home warranty last year is because the warranty made the process of repairing our heating extremely slow in winter of 2022. I, a tenant, was primarily responsible for calling the home warranty company, plumbing company, and HVAC company to get people out to have things checked out and fixed. Our landlords were out of the country at the time and did not have anyone local to take care of things. It took almost two months to get it fixed, and the weather was getting down well below freezing temps by the time they finally got it fixed a day or two before Christmas. They did send us money to buy some space heaters, which was helpful to heat a room or two at a time, but also felt a little scary to leave on all night. We really did not feel safe leaving on the heaters while we were out of the house, which meant our cats were left alone in the cold whenever home alone. We requested a rent reduction, and when only offered $150 total, we were offended at such a measly number and basically ignored the offer.
On top of this, we have a big back porch that has consistently been rotting and falling apart. It feels like we're sending her pictures of new holes and soft spots practically every month or two, and she (sometimes) sends out her handyman to replace the worst boards, but he hasn't been out since the fall or last summer. Some of these holes are HUGE, and the only reason they aren't bigger (safety!!!) concerns is because I periodically nail plywood over them. Lately she also responds to these texts by telling us that getting the porch fully repaired is too expensive, and will give specific prices ($8000) that she says are "too much."
In summary- our landlord has been slow to repair huge issues with the home, when even repairing them at all. She's been extremely unprofessional, in telling us that fixes are just too expensive for her right now. Currently she's saying it will be almost another month before she can fix the AC, due to her economic situation, not due to scheduling of a technician or availability of a unit. Is there anything we can do?? From my understanding, the only way to enforce anything on our landlord in NC is to sue. Someone also told me once that we can sue up to 3 years after negligent incidents? We're also nervous about being too aggressive while on a month-to-month lease, where they only have to give us 30 days notice to end the lease. I have plenty more complaints I could make, but I think this is most of the relevant legal info. Thank you for any help!!!

2024.04.28 01:52 AlphaDeltak AMP Air Compressor? Anyone know much about them

AMP Air Compressor? Anyone know much about them
Got this air compressor for free when a neighbor brought it over to put in a trash dumpster we had. Wouldn’t work, I just replaced the start capacitor on the motor and it’s been great. But I can’t seem to find much about it.
Some forums mentioned it may have been essentially a company that took crappier Chinese parts and then sold it under the name but this thing doesn’t feel cheap compared to other compressors I’ve found.
AMP (Air Moving Products) was based out of Rochester, New York per a very faded sticker I found. I think the compressor part is a PowerMate based on the photo I attached. But outside of that I’ve got no clue what I’ve got.

2024.04.23 14:32 i3bdallah87 Help Needed: Refrigerator Not Cooling - Possible Compressor Issue?

I have a French door KitchenAid refrigerator that stopped cooling (both freezer and refrigerator), and I've noticed the following signs:
Does this mean that if I replace the starter and capacitor (cost only ~100$), I might be lucky and this could be the problem? Or since the compressor isn't starting at all, could it be faulty?
I've already ordered a new fridge, but in the meantime, I'm trying to diagnose if it's an easy fix. I'm willing to do it myself if possible, as it's out of warranty and not worth paying for a handyman.
I know that you can't diagnose it with this limited information, but I'm looking for patterns and the most probable problem with the observations I shared. Any advice would be appreciated!

2024.04.16 00:04 ebenjaminsmith frosty factory noisy

Howdy - I'm a handyman for a bar w a frosty factory machine (model 117). The bartenders are complaining that it's gotten louder lately and sometimes rocks back and forth precariously. I pulled the sides off and can't find anything loose, the manual says that the mix could be off but it's been the same recipe for several years. It's gotten a lot of use - could be wear and tear? The compressor is coming on every 2 minutes or so - that seems too often? I cleaned and checked the foil fins, made sure there is air flow but it seems too warm. Any thoughts appreciated- thanks, Eric

2024.04.07 17:14 COMPLETELYoutofammo Keep the old, or buy a new?

When my father passed away in 2020, I was given first pick at everything before items were sold. Among several things, I decided to keep his 2 generators. A Coleman Powermate 4000, and a blue brick of a Yamaha Ef1000. The coleman needs the tank cleaned, and a new carb. I have never once heard that Yamaha run since he owned it. 10 minutes ago i decided to go see if it would even try to fire. After the 4th pull, it fired up and ran like it was used a few days ago!
I'm wanting to get a dual power champion generator to run propane for the 1-7 days I'm without power due to natural disaster.
The question is: should I spend $650-$1000 on a new dual fuel generator? Or do a tune up on the two I have and just use those?

2024.03.18 06:43 T3dpott3r Transformed My Handyman Business with a 5x8 Trailer and didn’t have to break the bank —Here’s How!

Hi Handyman,
About 18 months back, I started my own handyman service and went full time, forming my LLC six months later. Frustrated with the limitations of my SUV—from no space for the kids to constant loading and unloading tools or worse yet needing one and not having it handy —I switched to a 5x8 enclosed trailer (traded my Vulcan 550EN for it, which funny enough I originally got in exchange for a Sig AR).
Finding the right organization system was challenging and I didn’t want to do a full build out since I wasn’t sure what would be most functional for my daily use. I needed something to prevent items from shifting around and preferably without breaking the bank. Luck struck when I found 4 drawer, filing cabinets with drawer latches for $5 ea. Post-setup, I put it through a lengthy stress test on Houston’s bumpy roads and highways. To my delight, everything stayed in place and it pulled great!
I installed the cabinets over the wheel wells for balance and stored my heavier items on bottom with lighter stuff in the top 2 drawers like plumbing / paint supplies to ensure it didn’t get too top heavy. This left plenty of room towards the tongue for larger equipment like my tile / table saws and a pressure washer. My miter saw and ladder are mounted on the wall, easily accessible at the rear which leaves ample space to access all the drawers without having to move anything out of the way first.
The best part? I still have a center aisle wide enough for any project materials and it’s even big enough for the one off, tools like my compressor or wheelbarrow. Everything is secure, accessible, and the trailer tows smoothly.
Wanted to share this setup in case it inspires any of your own storage solutions!
I’d love to hear your thoughts or see how you’ve tackled similar storage problems?

PLUGGED TIRE STILL LEAKING
Imagine you’re on the side of the road, and your tire is hissing like an angry snake because it’s still leaking despite being plugged. Frustration sets in, and you wonder, “What should I do next?”
Plugged Tire Still Leaking (Plugging Twice) Can you plug a tire twice in the same place? Yes, you can, but it’s not always the best idea. Plugging a tire twice in the same spot can compromise the tire’s structural integrity. It’s a bit like adding a patch on top of another patch; it may not create a secure and reliable seal.
In this article, we’ll dive into the world of tire plugs, exploring why they might fail and what to do if your tire is still leaking after plugging it. We’ll cover the steps to assess, remove, and possibly replug the tire, but we’ll also discuss alternative solutions and long-term tire maintenance to keep you rolling safely down the road.
​
Example Of A Plug Sticking Out Of The Tread Of A Tire.

UNDERSTANDING TIRE PLUGS

Tire plugs are like a quick fix in the world of tire repairs. They’re small, rubbery, and deceptively simple, but they pack a punch when it comes to sealing up those pesky punctures. Let’s dive into what they are and why sometimes they might not be the knight in shining armor they’re meant to be.
WHAT ARE TIRE PLUGS?
Tire plugs are all about providing a temporary solution. They’re designed to:
  • Seal punctures: Specifically, those caused by nails or similar objects.
  • Be quick and easy: Ideally, they let you get back on the road in no time.
  • Offer a temporary fix: They’re not a permanent repair, but they buy you some time.
WHY DO PLUGS FAIL?
But here’s the rub – tire plugs aren’t infallible. They can fail, and when they do, it usually comes down to a few reasons:
  • Incorrect installation: Sometimes, the plug isn’t inserted properly. It’s a bit like missing a stitch in knitting; it just doesn’t hold.
  • Size and location of the puncture: Plugs have their limits. If the puncture is too big or in the wrong spot (like the tire’s sidewall), a plug might not cut it.
  • Wear and tear: Tires go through a lot. Over time, even a well-placed plug can start to lose its grip.
​
Tire Being Plugged

INITIAL STEPS TO TAKE

So, you’ve plugged your tire, but it’s still leaking air like a balloon with a slow hiss. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here’s what you need to do first.
SAFETY FIRST
Before you roll up your sleeves:
  • Find a Safe Spot: If you’re on the road, pull over to a safe, flat area. Safety is your number one priority.
  • Check the Tire Pressure: Use a tire gauge to get an accurate read on your tire’s air pressure. This tells you how bad the leak is.
INSPECT THE PLUG
Now, let’s play detective and inspect that plug:
  • Visual Check: Look for obvious signs of trouble like the plug sticking out or parts of it missing.
  • Listen and Feel: Listen for the hiss of air escaping. You can also run your hand over the plug (carefully) to feel for air.
DECISION TIME
Based on what you find, you’ve got a couple of choices:
  • Minor Leak: If it’s a slow leak and the plug seems intact, you might just need to add some air and head to a tire shop.
  • More Serious Issue: If the plug is clearly failing or the leak is more significant, it’s time to consider a more robust repair.
​
Tire Patch Being Applied To The Inside Of A Tire

CAN YOU REPLUG A PLUGGED TIRE?

It’s the question of the hour: can you simply shove another plug into that tire and call it a day? Well, it’s a bit more complicated than that. Let’s break it down.
THE SHORT ANSWER
  • Sometimes, But…: Technically, yes, you can replug a tire. However, it’s not always the best or safest choice.
CONSIDER THE RISKS
Here’s why replugging can be tricky:
  • Compromised Tire Integrity: Each puncture and plug can weaken the tire’s structure. Think of it as a patch on a patch – not always the sturdiest solution.
  • Alignment Issues: Getting the new plug perfectly aligned with the old hole is challenging. Misalignment can lead to more leaks or tire damage.
WHEN TO AVOID REPLUGGING
  • Large or Irregular Punctures: If the original puncture was big or oddly shaped, replugging might not be effective.
  • Close to Previous Plugs: Plugging near an old plug can weaken the tire further.
  • Sidewall Damage: Never replug a tire if the puncture is on the sidewall. This area flexes a lot and plugs just won’t hold up.
BEST PRACTICES
If you decide to replug:
  • Inspect Carefully: Make sure the tire’s structure is still sound.
  • Professional Opinion: When in doubt, consult a tire expert. Sometimes, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
​
Punctures Larger Than 1/4″ Can Not Be Safely Patched

DOUBLE PLUGGING – IS IT ADVISABLE?

Plugging a tire twice in the same place – it sounds like a quick fix, but is it really a wise move? Let’s dissect this approach to see if it’s a solution or a path to more problems.
UNDERSTANDING DOUBLE PLUGGING
Double plugging involves inserting a second plug into the same puncture. Here’s the gist:
  • The Idea: It’s like trying to reinforce the initial repair, hoping two plugs are better than one.
  • The Reality: More often than not, it’s not as effective as one would hope.
THE CHALLENGES
Double plugging comes with its own set of issues:
  • Compromised Seal: The first plug has already altered the shape of the hole. Adding another might not create a secure seal.
  • Increased Stress on the Tire: Two plugs in one spot can change the way the tire flexes and responds to road conditions.
WHEN TO AVOID DOUBLE PLUGGING
  • In Most Cases: Generally, it’s not recommended due to the risks involved.
  • With High-Speed or Heavy Loads: Especially in these scenarios, the integrity of the tire is crucial for safety.
A BETTER ALTERNATIVE
Instead of double plugging, consider these options:
  • Tire Patching: A patch applied from the inside of the tire can be a more reliable solution.
  • Professional Assessment: Get a tire expert to take a look. They can advise if the tire needs a different kind of repair or if it’s time for a replacement.

HOW TO REMOVE A LEAKING TIRE PLUG

You’ve tried plugging, maybe even double plugging, but alas, the tire is still leaking. It’s time to remove that stubborn tire plug. Here’s how to do it safely and effectively.
PREPARING FOR REMOVAL
Before you dive in:
  • Gather Your Tools: You’ll need pliers, a tire reamer, and possibly a knife.
  • Ensure Safety: Make sure the tire is fully deflated to avoid any accidents.
STEP-BY-STEP REMOVAL
Let’s get that plug out:
  1. Locate the Plug: Find the offending plug. It should be visible on the tire’s tread.
  2. Pull Out the Plug: Using pliers, grip the plug firmly and pull it out. This might require some muscle.
  3. Ream the Hole: Once the plug is out, use the tire reamer to clean and enlarge the hole slightly. This prepares it for a new repair.
  4. Inspect the Tire: Check the tire for any damage that might require more than just a simple plug or patch.
POST-REMOVAL STEPS
After removing the plug:
  • Consider Your Options: Now that the plug is out, decide whether to try a new plug, a patch, or seek professional help.
  • Check for Other Issues: While you’re at it, give your tire a once-over to make sure there are no other punctures or problems.
A WORD OF CAUTION
  • Not a DIY for Everyone: If you’re not comfortable with this process, it’s best to take your tire to a professional.
  • Safety First: Remember, your safety is paramount. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to seek professional assistance.

Tire Pressure Gauge On Air Compressor

WHAT TO DO IF TIRE PLUG IS STILL LEAKING

You’ve tried plugging, maybe even replugging, and the tire is still leaking. It’s a frustrating situation, but don’t worry – we have some solid steps to tackle this issue.
ASSESS THE SITUATION
First, let’s understand the extent of the problem:
  • Check the Leak Rate: Use a tire pressure gauge to see how fast the air is escaping.
  • Inspect the Tire: Look for other damage or punctures that might be contributing to the leak.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Now, let’s explore your options:
PATCHING THE TIRE
  • Internal Patch: Unlike a plug, a patch is applied from inside the tire, offering a more secure and long-lasting repair.
  • Combination Repair: Some professionals use a plug/patch combo for a more robust fix.
SEEKING PROFESSIONAL HELP
  • Visit a Tire Shop: If DIY methods aren’t cutting it, it’s time to let the pros take a look.
  • Expert Assessment: They can determine if the tire can be saved or if it needs to be replaced.
TIRE REPLACEMENT
  • When Necessary: If the damage is too extensive, or the tire is old and worn, replacing it might be the safest bet.
  • Choosing a New Tire: Make sure to get a tire that matches the others on your vehicle for balanced driving.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
To avoid future leaks:
  • Regular Inspections: Keep an eye on your tires’ condition and pressure.
  • Address Issues Early: Don’t wait for a small problem to turn into a bigger one.

2024.02.26 17:51 CelticDubstep Replacement Unit

I have a carport which was converted into an extra room many years ago. In 2019, I purchased the following unit for it: Frigidaire FFRH1822R2 18,500 BTU 230V with 16,000 BTU Supplemental Heat for $729 Uses NEMA 6-30P
I'm in Florida and the unit failed late last year. The heater still works and the compressor runs, but doesn't blow cold anymore so I'm guessing it has/had a leak or the compressor failed. Regardless, I need to replace the unit and looking for suggestions. It's mounted in a hole in the wall about 6 feet up in the air. I did get a quote for a mini-split system, but it would be $4400 which is out of my budget.
I don't want another Frigidaire as I've had issues with their appliances in the past and now this window unit. I've also heard a lot of bad things about LG as well so I'd like to avoid them.
Any suggestions on a replacement unit? I'm not a "handyman" type person (nor do I have friends to help me lift it 6 feet in the air) so I'm expecting to spend roughly $1000 to replace this unit ($700 or so for a new unit, and $300 for professional installation). Right now I have an 8000 BTU AC in the window but is isn't enough to keep the room cool despite having central AC as well.

heat pump compressor failed
Live in PNW, home is all electric, with heat pump + furnace (both ~16 years old). Had extraordinarily high (>$500) energy bill last month but attributed it to nearly ~20% cost increase from supplier plus use of furnace when temps were below freezing.
Have used local HVAC company for regular maintenance for several years. On routine check yesterday we were told the compressor on the heat pump had failed and was not repairable. They are recommending replacing both heat pump and furnace at the same time, with estimates between ~$19-25k (see attachment for details of each system)

I'm very ignorant, and would appreciate any advice/suggestions/information about whether to proceed with one of the suggested options, or pursue some alternate method and/or vendor for heating/cooling.

Add float valve to hvac?
Hey guys, looking for some advice on a protective step.
Background: I have a furnace that came with our home (it appears to have been put in around 2015). This is what is pictured. The home did not originally have AC. When we bought the home we retrofitted it to add AC which was integrated into this existing furnace. The compressor is out on our back patio, the furnace heater is in this closet on our second floor, and the drain line goes down to the kitchen sink on the first floor, which is between the back patio and this unit (just for reference). I am reasonably sure the white pvc pipe on the right is the drain. The brown wire on the left goes through the wall to our thermostat. The thick black insulated pipe is probably the chiller line that goes down to the compressor. Not sure what the copper tube is for.
As far as I can tell, there is no safety float switch installed such that a backup in the drain line would shut off the AC. My parents just had a situation where this saved them from some flooding, so I’m interested in putting one in but… I have no idea where it would go or where it would connect electrically. Can you tell from the photos and walk me through? I’d feel silly getting a handyman to do this since I believe it’s pretty plug and play.
I’m thinking of something like this: https://skipthewarehouse.com/safe-t-switch-ss2-secondary-line-condensate-overflow-control-switch
Advice appreciated- Thanks!

2024.02.03 22:21 cloudcity Coleman PowerMate 2250 engine runs beautifully but only makes between 950-1050 watts.

Hi all. I've been enjoying James Condon's videos and realized it was probably prudent to pick a small generator that I can use to power my sump pump in the case of a long power outage.
I picked up a 2250 watt Coleman Powermate PM0524000.01 that seems to have been well taken care of.
The rubber feet were shot but I DIY'd some chair leg protectors onto the nuts and they are working nicely.
I am running Pure Gas in it, lucky to live in a town where I can get it at the pump.
Fires up and runs nicely in Run position, doesn't seem to run lean/rich.
Putting Kill-a-Watt on it, with a space heater, I see it pulling 1000watts, which seems to decline over time to about 900watts.
I would like to make closer to 2000 in order to run the sump. Is this a matter of the motostatocap/other being faulty?
What are the best ways to troubleshoot? I have a Kill-a-Watt, a multimeter, and am reasonably handy, with a beginner's understanding of small engines and AC stuff.
I only paid $80 for the unit, and am happy with it other than total output, willing to spend another $80 to get back into full capacity, if that's possible. Then again, maybe it's just old and tired!

I am looking for handyman referrals for a few small projects. I know small projects tend to not be lucrative enough for some folks to want to do, so I have a small list that's compiled.
-replace kitchen backsplash with subway tile (small backsplash over two cupboards and the sink only)
-reattach floor trim I took off from the water dmg incident (I don't have a compressor or brad nail gun, it's only a few pieces that need reattached)
-re-grout along a shower tile that has been giving me trouble. Possibly recaulk as well.
Please leave recommendations if you know someone that would like roughly a half day's work of this sort. Thanks in advance!
