Thats interesting. Why did you make it a box instead of a flat board that sits on top of the pull down stairs?
@HowellHomeDIY5439 күн бұрын
I showed why and the clearance needed at 12:30 mark on the video. The stair framing, rail, springs, and treads themselves aren't flat and protrude up into your attic when folded up, and the door is closed, so you have to account for that.

My mother called a local plumber and they quoted her $3,500 to fix exactly this. She also needed a new flapper valve and they said they only sell the whole kits and that would be another $400.00. They tried taking from a woman that is on a fixed income and have no conscience. She also had to pay a $85.00 fee for even coming out here and they didn't even take the toilet off. Talk about me being super mad. Such shady people in this evil world we live in. Thanks for the advice!

Great video. We've had ours for about 2 plus years. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix the LED lights. When they are turned on only half of the lights initially turn on then it takes about 1/2 hour before the rest turn on. At this point the light color/warmth can be changed and it works normally until the lights are turned off again.

I own an autobody shop and have been using body fillers for years. Any body filler like Bondo will dry according to how much hardener you add to it and the TEMPERATURE (outside or inside) where you're using it....especially in the direct sunlight. So be mindful that the more hardener you use with each batch you make the more quickly it will harden.....and sometimes (if not careful) it will harden too fast. Take it easy and only use a little bit of hardener (like the size of a pencil eraser) on small batches of putty. Use the hardener in accordance to the amount of putty you're mixing up. You want it to harden slower than too fast, so you won't be wasting it and it's not cheap.

Thank you, the family is definitely enjoying being able to use the bathroom now! So I normally just work at my own pace nights and weekends type stuff. I think overall was probably about 20-25 hours of work spread over 2 weeks. A small half bath can be done in a weekend if you have all the stuff ready to go. For me we had no clue what we were going to do so like some days would be a couple hours of wall patching then while the joint compound was drying, the wife and I would take a trip to the store to pick out new stuff and any supplies etc. A lot less stressful doing it that way, few hours here and there. Then for like big parts 4-6 hours of work on a weekend day etc plus this way it doesn't completely interupt your normal day to day home life. If you want to get a better idea of the details and timeline I linked the playlist in the description, was a 10 part series and I try to keep my videos in the 5-10 min range.

When we moved into our current home I hired someone to install ceiling fans in all the rooms. He installed the cheap blue boxes. Well, here in Texas we run all the ceiling fans 24/7 during the summer. So a couple of the boxes came out from the ceiling and the fans are just dangling. I pulled up this video so my husband can watch it (even though I think, but not sure, he has done this before). I tinker with more simple repairs but am terrified of electrical currents. So hubby said he would replace the boxes this weekend. I’m sure he knows the answer to my question, but don’t want to offend his intelligence: do you turn off power to the room from main breaker? BTW. Great video! Greetings from Texas! 😻
@HowellHomeDIY5433 ай бұрын
That's unfortunate. Yeah, they need to be fan rated boxes for this reason. I always like the metal boxes as well for fans. Just inspire more confidence, lol. The main breaker will remove all power to the house. You typically don't want to do that. The smaller individual breakers can be used to remove power to rooms or branches one at a time as you work. And then some kinda of verification that the voltage is gone before you touch the wiring. I use a Klein non-contact voltage tester. www.amazon.com/Non-Contact-Detector-Klein-Tools-NCVT1P/dp/B099SJ6469 I'm from the mideast, and we like to run our fans year round, lol.

Highly recommend ordering Westinghouse Safe-T line. I use safe t pans for my entire house: they’re all metal with 70 lb fan rated and 150lb light rated! Even at the highest speed setting my fan doesn’t move at all. If you don’t need a pancake box, you could look at safe t box or safe t brace if you’re in between joists. I only install Westinghouse now. They’re a little more pricy but they’re the best and easiest to work with.

Question - when you screwed the flange spacer down, did you screw it to the original flange or directly to the subfloor (or through the original flange to the subfloor)?
@HowellHomeDIY5435 ай бұрын
A mix of what your asking but screws were long enough for all to hit the subfloor. IIRC 2 holes lined up with original flange screw holes, if they didn't, I sent the screw through the original flange into the subfloor. I accounted for the thickness of both flanges and my subfloor thickness when I picked up new screws. Also recommended Stainless or galvanized screws.

Mine doesn't dim just has on/off and 3 colors you can switch through. Seems you have a different led controller setup than me. That's a common problem with some led dimmers is not going off all the way. There can be a slight current flow still which allows the leds to glow still when they are supposed to be off. Maybe reach out to the seller see what they say.

Excellent and thank you. I just installed the round mini box, but used blue plastic - DON'T RECCOMEND THESE because 1. the romex/elect line hole extends like 1/2 inch upward causing an issue around the joist (dumb manufacturer and nearly blows the point of having a shallow box-Duh!) 2. they also put micro joist lines of plastic so you can 'line up the joist' dumb again, I had to pull/slice them off to get flush to the joist AGAIN since it is a shall space. I will not choose blue plastic on these in the future - I will use metal. But my question if you have time since we did not see the light/fan install - shouldn't the wire connections fit as much as possible into the box? vs hanging below the elec. box on top of the light/fan section?
@HowellHomeDIY5436 ай бұрын
No problem. As far as I know the blue plastic "pancake" boxes are new work boxes, intended for new construction. Where as this metal version I used is labeled as old/new work so can be used in new construction or retrofit/remodel. I always look for the term "old work" when needing electrical stuff for remodeling existing stuff. I usually leave as much romex wire and the wire nuts in the box as I can as it's solid core wire and less flexible. But yes most fixtures include a cavity or mount with cover that offers plenty of room to house the wiring as well. In my case the fan/chandelier I installed also includes a remote controller housed in the fixture upper with plenty of room for the wiring. Even the flush mount led light I installed in my bathroom the other day had a cavity to house the wires and wire nut connections, vice having to shove them up in the box so you have options.
