They checked every fitting and still leaked. When all quiet he could hear a slight noise. Cut hole in drywall and ran his fingers down the pipe. Drywall screw thru drywall support bracket into pipe.

"Then just try bonding the grounding terminal to the neutral at the generator - even temporarily as a troubleshooting measure". So, we did that and the fan turned on, but then there was this click click noise? And then the burners lit up. And a little later there was warm air coming out our vents. Color us happy! Thanks again for your help on this. Pulled off the panel holding the outlets on the generator and right on the back side there was a hole to push the jumper in and a screw right next to it to complete the bonding. Piece of cake.

No AC here, just the blower and the blower starts no problem. I'll get back to you once I, if I, can figure it out. Thanks a bunch for all your insight.

Thanks for the replies everyone. You all still rock!

This is how it is advertised by Honda Honda EU1000i - 900 Watt Portable Inverter Generator w/ CO-MINDER™ (CARB) Extension cord connection only. My furnace installer friend has his furnace, same as mine, connected to a standard generator, when our power goes out.

It's portable eu1000i Honda. Should I run a ground wire from it's internal metal frame to house ground rod, or to metal frame of the furnace?

Just read some furnaces don't work with inverter supplied power.

Rheem sent me to an online that was going to cost. Which I didn't try. Been told it's a polarity issue that somehow relates to grounding. Very new 95+ and full of computerish hardware. I have no warranty on this rig, but I think it's not it's fault. Heater installer has large output generator at his house wired into service panel for his same as mine furnace. Mine runs fine on house electric.

Ignition no start. Could be something about generator not grounded. If so, wondering about proper way to ground a small generator to the furnace?

Thanks for the replay Marc I plug it into the 3 prong outlet of the generator the same way I did with the 80.

Have a new 95+ Rheem heater. When the power is out, and on a generator, only the fan will come on, but burners won't light. My old 80% would light up no problem. Any ideas?

I know, where the hell have I been? Hiking, biking, kayaking, skiing, breaking a bone here and there, and just finished up some Covid. Speaking of which, if you realize early that you have it then take the paxlovid. In regards to what to charge. When I started in 2006 I came in with the I'm going to point out all the problems to my clients. I live in a community that is around 135k population for the county, and 140 miles from the closest large city. What I found this to mean is that the Realtors own it. General population didn't know the difference between a HI and an appraiser. There were two local inspectors that got into the biz during the housing booms of the 90's. I joined CREIA, who always emphasized list all the problems and keep your rates high. The two (CREIA) inspectors had low rates. They spent anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hrs inspecting a house. I'd go to our once a month meeting and they would be hi fiving themselves about having 3 or more inspections a day. The Realtors wanted to only hear about the problems they might get sued for. These guys were there to help them sell the house. The Realtors don't want to sit around more than an hour or so while they text their friends waiting for you to get done. I was always like a 3hr and up guy, stupid me. I was previously downsized out of a claims adjusting job and now had a $750 retirement at 53yrs old. Everything was paid off, lucky me. I didn't clear more than $3300 per year for 6 years. Took that long to get enough clients to produce enough referrals. If you want to not sell your house just get me to look at it. After dealing with 20+ Realtors I'm sure I was blacklisted. My last two years, out of the 10, I was regarded as the best HI in out county per the local main newspaper that asked for the community vote. I finally made it to where I wanted to back down to, income/work hrs, when I was going to retire from HI, ha, so I did. And that was clearing a little over $30k per year. We/I had a lot of 401k and a few other deals, so it all came together just before I turned 65. So, if your all about making big bucks in a Realtor owned area, start sucking up. As the Realtor is explaining the sells contract and they come to the portion regarding do you want a HI, clients will say "what's that" followed by who do you recommend. Other than income, HI was the best job I ever had. At the site the Realtors that hated me would be so nice, "Hi Denny, how's it going". The owner would offer cookies and coffee and be very nice, usually, ha. My client was very happy with me the whole way thru. Client's Realtor was nice. And I got paid right when I was done looking at the house. Report always showed up by the next day.

Trying to find why there's a leak around my dads Toto seat toilet. Touched the metal.braided supply line and it.was hot. Touched it again and for some reason it shocked me again. Whoda thunk? Their bells and whistles are cord connected to an outlet. 19 years old.

No worries about bad stuff growing in it during long term shut off?

If I'm out of town for 2 weeks is it OK to just turn the WH off for that period? Any yuck to worry about? How bout if I'm gone for 2 months? Tank need to be emptied to prevent yuck?

Our house is 27 yrs old and has a loop. My dad installed the return and used the thinner wall copper. It's been springing up leaks. I think the constant flow with the different metal circulating pump is what is getting to it. I've just shut it off and now have to exist like a common man. 1st world problems. That small heater tank next to the sink till the hot gets there sounds good.

Here's the cause. Holes and or pins get worn out. Even though they have a lifetime warranty the LG rep said they are fine.

LG boy said it was fine? I'll set it up when it quits raining and check it out a little more thoroughly, like Jim mentioned.

Thx guys!!

Hardly ever have my LG ladder out and fully extended anymore. I know, it's sad. But I did have it extended the other day and it sure looked tweaked. Been over a year since I used it professionally and I just don't remember it having this much of a hyper back joint bend to it. Is this just the way they are and no big deal?

Used to be big rallys on that day around here, but now that it's legal, nothing. A lot less cash in the community. Many stores have folded up. Lots of out of state folks came in and paid big bucks for grow property and now not much money in it. Lost logging to the tree huggers. Lost the dunes for atv's from the plant huggers. Lost wackie to the large growers. I'm 80% over the rib deal, but that last 20 sometimes takes a long time. Going to UCSF Monday to see a highly regarded orthopedic doc regarding my wife's knee/ACL situation. Meantime her leg is turning into a noddle on her.

Seems like the knee problem is gone. I got some marathon running shoes designed for running on concrete and the heel thing is gone. I can put bad shoes on and it does not come back, of course I don't do a long hike etc. in the bad shoes. Last day of ski vacation a person on the far right of the chair lift decides they want to go off to the left when getting off. He crosses over onto the tails of my wife's skis, spins her out, falls on her, breaks her tibia, and snaps the ACL. On 4-20 I trip on our deck and slam my ribs into a metal chair. Too much fun.

Forgot to click notify me. See, I'm out of it.

I did 2 houses in one day maybe twice. Usually spent 2.5 > 3.5 looking and that time plus an hour more per doing the reports. Easy to do when you don't get much work. Never hurts to do your best other than the RE's hating the reports. I'm 4 months retired now. Best job I ever had. It was just starting to roll, too. After a mere 10 years. I took a quick look, 20 minutes, at a house for a friend today just to see if it was worth going further. Felt weird checking one out again. I had trouble loading pictures on the PC, being out of it and all. Young folks getting out of college, not finding rewarding work, paying off loans, yikes. My younger son could have just walked right into my gig, but nooo, dada dumb. Better to get into drug land. He's crawling out of that stuff, but geeze. I just turned the light off to a great gig. Don't worry about me. I'm going up to Tahoe for a month ski vaca in March. Then another month car camping around the Sierra Nevada mtns. Pray for me! ha
