Didn't Have The Faith

Motivational speaker Robbins' coal walk burns more than 30 - Houston Chronicle Now what got me was that one report said it happens occasionally but they don't have medical personnel standing by.

This has been posted before... still lots of fun:

Cool video... watch it to the end:

BTW: Think of the work involved in making the video... same guy, multiple recordings, lots of mixing, etc.

Help on question about replacing unit!

Right now we've got a 25 year old York 3.5 ton split gas unit. We had two different technicians come out and one said to just replace the condenser and coil and leave the existing furnace and the other recommended replacing the condenser coil and furnace while your at it, he said because it's gonna save money to go ahead and replace it all as opposed to doing the air this year and possibly the furnace next year. I kinda see both sides because the unit is 25 years old, but the other guy is saying nothing is wrong with the furnace so why bother it. Just asking for a few opinions as to what y'all would do. Thanks

No ground wire for new bathroom fan.

Hey guys, my house is an older home.



I removed a bathroom ceiling light and replaced it with a fan/light combo. The old light was only connected by black and white wires, inside a junction box with no ground.



Removed the box, installed the new fan housing to the joist and ran wires into fan housing box.



Now I know to connect the black to black and white to white but where do I run my ground wire to?



Can I self tap it into the fan housing box itself? Or do I even need to ground it to anything since no one will ever touch the fan itself, only the light switch on the wall to control it.



Thanks!

Intertherm Furnace Experts out there??

Hello, my best friend is selling his house and called me. Old Intertherm furnace cycling burner multiple times. Burner ignites then drops out. Inducer running and pressure switch made. I work on commercial equipment not much exposure to these units. No manual. No schematic. Acts as though not sensing flame. I see no flame sensor. I assume flame is sensed through the ignitor. Cant find any info on Nordyne site m/n G2RC-120A20. I leaning towards pulling burner and cleaning/inspecting. Not sure correct way to check flame signal on this unit. Propane furnace. Any help is appreciated....thanks all!

insulation for concrete basement wall and ceiling

I'm redoing a small reception room that is 50% below grade (it's on a slope outside).

The current insulation was 1 inch Styrofoam but I'm not sure this was enough as the room was always a bit damp and cold.

We were thinking of adding 2 inch Styrofoam but the room is only 50 sq ft of floor space so every inch counts for a bit of extra room.

The walls will have framing/strapping and then paneling on top.

Is there any high density durofoam or something similar that could be put it in to be only 1 to 1.5 inches thick with good insulation?

Don't want it to be too expensive so can't use foam injection or other methods.
