What home improvement work did you do today?

Maybe Hunter makes that brand for Home Depot.

 

The lights and pictures ikea. She found the chairs used

 

Sparky came over today and added my 60-amp sub panel in the garage. Air compressor plug cord will run overtop the door along the wall to the plug.
Next I’ll add a breaker and plug for a 220 welder

 

Cost for parts and labor? PM if needed. I got a 220 outlet in my garage but I plan on adding A/C to my house eventually and I think I have to upgrade my panel for that. Just trying to get an idea of $$. Thanks.

 

I got 66’ of panel to panel cable, the 60 amp panel, the two plug ends and conduit. Plus, I got him to add another exterior plug on the corner of the house near our sheds. All installed for $1100 cad

 

Upgraded the pepper grinder for max power. The binford5k-Cole&Mason collaboration

 

Sean, do you have that little black remote control?

 

Trying to find a water leak that has created a mess in an upstairs vanity cabinet. House plumbing looks fine. Found what looks like the faucet could have been leaking. Thoughts?

 

Thinking faucet was in bad shape.

 

Yes, very slow, cabinet with mdf has been soaking it up causing to deform.

Faucet original Moen builder grade, about 14 years old.

 

Looks like the valve seat on the hot side was leaking by- on that style faucet it would leak down inside and cause exactly what you’re seeing. You don’t notice it because the water doesn’t obviously leak all over the counter top and instead just slowly makes a mess down inside.

Hot tends to go first because it’s used probably 9x more than the cold valve when you’re washing hands, etc.

 

Pretty sure it’s the faucet. You can see the corrosion coming down the copper line. Make sure to change your supply lines also.

 

Finished up this kitchen install. Complete with fluorescent light box removal and replaced with crown and flush LEDs.

 

Yep. Honestly I would go the extra mile and do the angle stops while in the cabinet. 14 years is a pretty good amount of time.

 

It has the angled block valves at the wall. Is that what you are referring to?

 

Gorgeous

those can be a bitch to change. Have to shut off house water, drain, etc. a lot depends on the age, quality, and original construction materials of the house. My house is 15yr old and all copper piping and my angle stops all look good as new. But we installed high quality ones when be built it because I didn’t ever want to have to replace them.

 

Yes that’s correct. Casey is correct, they can be a pain. But if you have some skills, and your sink is already out (from your pic), it’s not crazy. Turning off the water and draining the whole house depending on if you have a two story and the bath is on the bottom floor sucks. But sometimes, after messing with a 14 year old valve (even simply turning on/off) will create it’s own leak. And you won’t know until everything is assembled.

 

Thanks man!
