Been there. A previous owner installed a ceiling fan on an outside pergola that was between my hot tub and pool. The fan was grounded to the metal box, the box was connected to the house with plastic conduit. 😳 The box on the house had a half dozen ground wires bundled together doing NOTHING. The installer was too lazy to run a ground wire through the conduit.

As a French Canadian, my father's diy consisted of duct tape, dilaptiated plastic tarps, random screws and nails, rocks, rotted firewood, paper towels (for sealing gaps/insulation) masking tape, and plastic shopping bags... I think that about sums up his materials list 🤔 His brother (my uncle) did electrical and plumbing... No license or anything, he just had the nerve to give it a go...

Those old cast-iron boilers are a pain in the ass usually a 2-man job to get out of a basement, they do make motorized moving carts that can climb stairs. You could lay some planks down on the stair treads and use a winch to get the boiler to the ground level.

@tmiklos4 10 месяцев назад

That electrical work was most likely done by a professional. The standards in the 1960s was different. My guess is the connection in that box were done witn old school copper crimp connectors. They were commonly used by professionals with either friction tape or electrical tape. Any old house will /can have wires connected like that.

The Milwaukee M18 dual power tower is a magnificent work light, it deploys in under a minute and with its extension range allows glare free lighting from behind over your head. The self expanding base is rock solid and self stows in under a minute. The light level is also very good. I have seen if for around $180 bare tool and under $200 with two 5 ah batteries and charger. Unfortunately it is not free. As they bay buy once.

I'm sorry but a license for anything is re-tar-did. What grown man needs another grown man's permission to do anything? Slaves not men do. 🐑. In 1933 FDR unconstitutionally got rid of the gold standard sold the US out tk the banking mafia printing out counterfeit currency. The banks decided the US was to operate under Uniform Commercial Code, aka admirality law and not constitutional aka common law. Meaning what ever the captain of the ship (judge) say goes, that's the law, admirality law is the worst law.

I don't understand why you would replace an excellent heating source, o ( Hot Water) with forced air. I have lived with steam, hot water, electric baseboard, and forced air. The best to worse, for comfort even heat. Hot water, steam, electric, then forced air. The only real advantage to forced air is you can have ac in the same system. Electric base board resistant heat is way too expensive. Steam's advantage is you get some humility from the system. Not much but enough. You don't get that from hot water.
