This is a bathroom outlet.
Some people believe in those
Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters but they take up a lot of space and cost
a lot.

A new idea but still needs
some refinement.
That’s an automotive radiator attached to the floor joists with hot water piped to it. All the pipes and the wood-burning boiler can be constructed of recycled components.

Here, your auto mechanic know how pays off. A
radiator hose from a 1945 Pontiac can be used to
replace piping leading into
the main drain stack.
Why pay a plumber when you have all the know how and parts?

Here's another brilliant idea:
Keep the supply & return
registers close together so the
air can flow freely back to the furnace.
The house seems a little chilly and the furnace
keeps running. This needs more study.

Another good idea: It saves cutting a hole in the roof.

The inspector said something about needing flashing.
Flashing—who needs
flashing?!?

Here you have your basic downspout planter, with
an attractive—and healthy—sword fern contrasting
nicely with the red window trim. You, too, can have one of these
beautiful planters.
Self watering and the lady of the house will love it.

CPVC pipe touching the flue pipe? The fix? Slip some card board between the warm flue pipe and melt-able plastic!

Like lots of light when taking a shower? It’s also handy to have the light
switch close by.

FOILED!Cheaper than
buying another section. This
section of water heater flue pipe is made entirely out of aluminum
foil.

Homemade Humidifier
Why mess with all that high-tech gadgetry in a
humidifier? A Cool Whip container
filled with water will do the same thing.

Smell a Rat?
It’s a good idea to cover all unused
knock-outs.

be the best way to shim between
the support post and the
beam.

Duct! If you have a
broken framing member in
your attic, use the all-purpose
structural repair kit — duct tape!

Hot Water Heater Installation
It is not recommended to install hot water heaters on their side. Also use a TPR valve. Not a large pressure
gauge.

techniques for dryer hookups. No box
required. We recommend a piece of duct tape over the
connections.
