If it had an open winding the motor wouldn't heat up. He was clocking 173 degrees.

That brings a whole new meaning to ugly [:-yuck]

Bad capacitor. Chad squeaked in just in front of me. Actually though I would think it's a run cap. Those motors typically don't have a start cap.

I knew that - [:-paperba

The installation is wrong in so many ways but need to make sure what material the siding is (EIFS is rare in this neck of the woods). This was only on the front entry part of the home. The rest of the home was brick and vinyl. Click to Enlarge 40.96 KB Click to Enlarge 29.59 KB Click to Enlarge 75.92 KB

Boy did we wreck this thread.

What r u suggesting[?] (and don't call me Shirley). I use to dabble in some other things but my doc & wife now takes a dim view of it (although, I must admit, it crosses my mind from time to time). [:-hspin]

No but thanks. I'm always interested in new gadgets - some work better than others though (like my bore-a-scope... POS).

How do you like the Fluke Marc?

Could be something simple too like a dirty filter, dampers being closed... I don't think you can make a call whether the a/c is working properly just by seeing if the room temperature drops - too many variables. In Joe's post the a/c could have been working great but the air distribution system is crap.

Would there have been any type of flashing underneath with a water channel heading out toward the fascia?

I do as well as Strohs and Schmidts. I never cared for the taste of Strohs, when I was young, but I now I think I would really enjoy it (it was kinda in your face). This neck of the woods we also had P.O.C. beer - Pride of Cleveland. I actually remember 3-4 bigger breweries in this area back in the early 60's. My favorite is Blatz as it reminded me of the noise you made after 5-6 chilly ones.

I'm green with envy as I've never been able to do that. If I can't put something behind me it'll gnaw at me until I do.

Bill, There is roofing tar on the corner seams as shown in picture. What is the detail that goes into this area to make it water tight? I didn't see any signs of leaks in the attic around this area. Shouldn't this area have some kind of cap? Click to Enlarge 26.08 KB

Thanks Bill.

Anyone ever see this roofing material before? It's like a terra cotta tile. Looks like they were produced in Chicago and would have been installed in 1956. Anyone know of a factory that still produces these? Click to Enlarge 44.07 KB Click to Enlarge 44.03 KB

If you pay the entry fee they're typically good for a few hours of Uno.

The aluminum I see in homes here is from 73-76 time frame. All have been in condos too.

I love the license info part. I was licensed through Whatsamatter U.

Which logo are the ASHI Candidates using?

Shoot me a PM with the link if you would Les. Tanks.

A new gold logo - perhaps with perimeter, flashing, LED lighting. [utube] " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"> Not too be to demeaning but what is needed is steady helmsman-ship and not knee jerk reactions. We're in a downturn and the numbers are off. Much like in nature when the food source starts to dwindle so does the rest of the chain. It is what it is. Let's not forget 1985 when Coke was re-formulated. They had done all kinds of market testing that showed people preferred the taste of the new formula yet the backlash was so huge and the sales so poor that they had to re-introduce the previous formula only 79 days after removing it from the shelves. Hang tough - we're all trying to make it through but don't bastardize the system with parlor tricks, smoke, mirrors and a shiny new paint job.

What do you use to lube it Scott?

Anyone take the latest ASHI survey? Why on earth is there a thought about changing the logo? I was going to cut and paste a few of the questions here but thought better of it... Howard Hanna, the largest realtor chain here, knows what the ASHI logo means. Why create a new logo and go through a re-education process. If your trying to "brand" why go through the exercise of changing your brand? Also the thought of no more ASHI Associate/Candidate rank? Has membership dropped off that much? If it ain't broke, fiddle with it till it breaks, then try to put it back to the way it was to begin with. Oy vey [:-censore

I bought the 22 foot and I love it. It only take seconds to configure it for use. It's really handy for these newer homes with really high ceiling in the garage. Extend it into the A frame and you're able to enter the attic hatch np. If I had it to do over again I'd choose the fiberglass model though (electrical safety).
