Anyone have experience with econet bulldog leak detection shutoff? I would prefer to source a normally closed solenoid valve and hard wire it to leak sensors throughout the house, but have been told I have a tendency to get neurotic.

Can you get from the basement to the back of the garage wall? Fish the cable up the wall from the basement then run it on the surface up high. As long as you stay above 1.5m and it's not exposed to mechanical damage you are good with NMD. Like MM said you don't need 10/3, 10/2 suffices. PS...

Can pex pipes cross other pex pipe and ABS pipe? I know it's not a concern like dissimilar metals, but more of a concern for vibration and rubbing. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

It was more of a mental flex for fun than advice. I was looking into why we got to where we are with AFCIs. I went to trade school when AFCIs were only required in bedrooms. The code teacher said their purpose is to protect against sparking between receptacles and plugs. He said a common cause...

RE AFCIs. Looks like you can get an AFCI receptacle for $50 that provides protection downstream. Except this kick in the nuts Except for dedicated branch circuits, like laundry room, I can't see why it wouldn't be allowed to nipple out of the panel to to an AFCI receptacle and then continue...

The washer drain is by code a 2" pipe. I looked at my friend's plumbing, which has a similar situation. He got a plumber to do it, and there is no vent. It might not be up to code, but it drains properly. I found something that might interest others while installing a washer and laundry tub...

Thanks for the cooktop info. Back to the washing machine drain. The main drain(3") is right beside the hot water tank. If buddy cuts a Tee in the main drain, installs a p-trap and a standpipe, does he need to worry about venting the installation? I stumbled over a reference that said it is...

Does anyone have some insight into cutting a cooktop into a wood countertop? in particular, the Ikea Vrena countertop, which is veneer over particle board. The Ikea manual shows a picture of a cooktop cut into it, but it does not have other details. Is it compatible with radiant or induction...

Nedco has way better prices. They deal with retail customers, no? You have to speak the language and know what you want. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

That's what I was afraid of. Any tips on how to confirm it's a drain? I can think of a few ways but it can get ******. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Asking for a friend. The hot water tank has drain for the pressure relief pipe. If he bumps the tank over can he share the drain with a washing machine? Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

I moved to BC South coast and I rather live in a van, doge caravan, not sprinter than have a cushy life in TO. It rains a lot in the fall and winter but I look at it as meters of snow in the mountains. Many Ontarians that moved here find it miserable after a few years if they are not in to the...

Yes! War on drugs is a proven successful policy. IMHO. Legalize everything. Drugs don't make people violent, sourcing them creates violence. Set up all inclusive camps outside of populated areas. I know, it's an immoral solution. Rehab and support would be so much better but there's no funds...

I scored some "Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Plank" at a very low price from a home depot in-store sale. https://www.homedepot.ca/product/trafficmaster-4-mm-waterproof-bramston-oak-7-inch-width-x-42-inch-length-rigid-core-luxury-vinyl-plank-flooring-24-90-sq-ft-case-/1001513524 It will be a floating...

I switched to SPD SH-56 for road and MTB. They are easier to get out of, considerably safer and I never released inadvertently. I used to occasionally hit the ground due to pushing my track stands too much with SH-51 cleats. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Johny Carson toilet paper shortage. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Carson In December 1973, Carson joked on Tonight about an alleged shortage of toilet paper. Viewers believed the story and panic buying and hoarding ensued across the United States as consumers emptied stores,[37]...

Does anyone know what 12x8 rectangular duct costs per foot if you are in the industry? Also, what exactly is "light residential" round duct? It's cheaper than 30ga so I assume it is thinner...
