  1. 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.
  2. "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.
  3. 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.
  4. Thanks for the replies everyone. You all still rock!
  5. 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.
  6. 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?
  7. Just read some furnaces don't work with inverter supplied power.
  8. 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.
  9. Ignition no start. Could be something about generator not grounded. If so, wondering about proper way to ground a small generator to the furnace?
  10. Thanks for the replay Marc I plug it into the 3 prong outlet of the generator the same way I did with the 80.
  11. 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?
  12. 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.
  13. No worries about bad stuff growing in it during long term shut off?
  14. 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?
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Thx guys!!
  19. 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?
  20. All the doors swing out on their own. A qualified licensed bulldoser operator could make the proper repairs.
  21. I'm thinking this probably isn't ideal.
  22. Crazy
  23. Just above the exterior concrete walkway. Yikes.
  24. There is that. Lots of sill elsewhere. Thanks John!
  25. Two areas where 16 feet or so of sill plate is missing. Is that a problem?
