The larva look like PPB larva pics online. I havent seen any beetles, and really not much of an emergence. One little worm.

I'll stick with my boiler. A thorough cleaning takes less time and effort than relighting the pilot when I'm finished.

Very heavy, its bigger on the inside.

Some people like the smell of burning paint. Yes, I would be telling my peeps to get those replaced ASAP.

I haven't seen any beatles. Just larva. They look like lawn grubs but about the size of a grain of rice, maybe not even that big. The 70+ year old barn beams had worm holes before they were milled into flooring. I thought the holes meant the bugs had already left. My anxiety over them is pretty low, the price per gallon of bora care was more startling. My wife was ready to gut the addition.

I have some reclaimed beech flooring in my house. It has been machined, sanded, oiled and waxed. I used the left overs to make sheves in my closets and the top of a window seat. It has been installed for nearly three years. My wife is now finding larva coming out of some of the worm holes. How do I get rid of them? What are the chances of them moving into the rest of the house? Since autocorrect capitalized Beatles should I name them? Maybe I'll start with Prudence. Thanks

There is no skirt. That is a step flash pan.

What ever happened to these?http://www.wakemakers.com/16-awg-splice-tap-connector.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CjwKEAiAp_WyBRD37bGB_ZO9qAYSJAA72Ikg6D1Sm3NIZLSK2PjQtGtAhHq8A8VlJ1dmMdrllbSObhoC27Pw_wcB

No need to wonder David, I'd wager you're looking at exactly what he does. It's far too neat to be an on the fly solution. Wrong, but tidy.

When I was a kid we had cats that liked to sleep next to the water heater. Every once in a while one of them would get singed when the thing fired up.

Marvin has a pretty good engineering department. I would contact them and ask if they have a detail for that application. I'd be very surprised if they didn't.

I retired from my20+ year fenestration career 2 years and 2 weeks ago. Velux stopped making the sloped curb years before that. The last catalog i had they made all kinds of flashing kits for deck mount units, a curb mount unit that left the curb and flashing up to the roofer, a self flashing unit in limited sizes, and a hideous array of blinds and shades. Products change fast. Plus, in two years I've forgotten more about windows than most people will ever know.

Is it installed as a replacement inside the original window? If yes then the original details should still be in place. They could be fouled with a crappy wrap job, but they would still be there. If they pulled the whole window out I don't see how the detailing could be present at all unless they cut into the finish and patched back in.

22 years ago Velux required a sloped curb on slopes less than 5/12. 10-12 years ago they improved the glazing system and lowered that to like 3/12. 7-8 years ago they eliminated the sloped curb assembly. There will not be a Velux flashing kit for that curb and any sort of metal roofing. You need a new roof cover and a new curb mounted skylight. I put a deck mount solar powered venting skylight on my brothers house, 3/12 pitch, corrugated steel roof, Velux metal roof flashing kit. It leaked like a seive. To fix it I had to remove all the steel top to bottom, fill between the purlins with extruded foam insulation, and cover the whole thing with ice and water, 8 feet wide and just over 3 square in area for a light approximately 20x40 inches.

No overhead doors there. You wouldn't be able to open, let alone remove, the covers on the two left panels.

If there isn't a code for these things, and no uniform set of standards, then isn't the engineer that stamped the plans responsible for those details?

I'm surprised you haven't figured out a way to get HIs to work on Swan while they pay you for CEUs.

That was my first thought too. Just did I 1979 monster with two wood fired furnaces. Both had heat recovery tubes around the metal flues.

Somewhere I have pictures of a deck with 3 1/2" of heated pattern stamped concrete on top and close to a ton of ice hanging off the sides.

Those little pumps designed for dewatering pool covers typically discharge through a garden house. It'll take about a week to dewater a lawn.

Yes on all counts. Shrinkage, newer tile acting as moisture barrier, and, that old black mastic is probably hot.

My professional opinion mirrors Jim's. My personal opinion, stop doing 90 day radon tests. There are far better things to focus that energy on.

Very sad news indeed.

Some do, some are night lights.
