what did you do around the house today?

[ThePenIsMightier]

Ok, but that's more of a "your furnace doesn't look like it's about to explode or poison you with CO" type of inspection.

Not that the "I just installed $400 worth of bullshit that you didn't need on your perfectly functioning furnace and while doing that, I forgot to reconnect the capacitor junction derivative harness, so I'll see you in two weeks for a quick $800" inspection is any better...

Agree Tha6s the difference. Well said.

I got that harness off Amazon and installed it myself. Saved hundreds.

Had no idea this existed until last month and finally got one and its amazing. I had the 4 big bikes on those manual bike lifts and they worked but its kind of a pain(yes i know FWP) so i would always leave the bikes on the ground and only put up for storage in winter. Installed this last week and so far loving it.

How often do you get your furnace serviced? Just moved into a house, furnace is 3 years old so still fairly new but this is also my first fall here so wondering if it'd be worth having someone check things over? Replaced the air filter every other month but assuming there's more to it than that.

Call me nuts but for a 3yr old furnace a quick "it's not about to explode or poison you with CO" type of inspection seems appropriate to me

I feel the weight capacity is a bit light but perhaps I should weigh my bikes....... avg of 27 pounds isn't that much for bmx and full suspensions.....

They're saying 220lbs but im sure theres a ton of buffer in that to protect them. No idea what a bmx weighs but a typical full suspension can be over 30 easily. Its a pretty steep price for a bike lift but very worth it if you want to get the bikes off the ground but still have good access to them.

My bmx are all in the 28-33 range, couple lighter bikes, then some heavy ones. 220 wouldn't hang them all. I did a bit of digging and the 220 lb is all the motor can handle, the structure obviously can take more.

Anyone have recommendations on how to beat a slow draining bathtub? I tried Drano and doesn't help. I kept using the plunger too but to no avail.

Is there like a device that can fish stuff out?

Have you taken the drain plug out and cleaned it? Probably hair wrapped around it

I've got one of these, and it works great for starting the hair declogging, but I always have to grab the rest of Kayako by hand and wrestle with it for a few minutes.

Yes, this is almost certainly just "gunk" in the near-drain area. Just pull it out and manually clean it. Disgusting, but that's the ticket.

I woulda thought a bmx was less than that but i guess they gotta be pretty beefy for all that they do. if you got that many bikes you'll need 2 it sounds like or even just one to get the ones you dont really ride off the ground.

if you have an old metal hanger you can cut one end and then take a pair of pliers to make a small hook. Open you drain up and then use that small hook to fish in there and pull out the nastiest thing youve ever seen. Ill never forget my first one lol

[flipstah]

Yes, I've removed the drain plug and seems like the clog is around the waste tee



I'll buy that snake tool from C-Tire and go from there. Thanks yall!

EDIT: coat hanger works too I guess. I'll try that!

[bjstare]

+1 for coat hanger method. It's also good practice for alternatives to Plan B.

Try the coat hanger, ive used it in the tubs and showers in the old place and twice in the place and it worked for every one

[suntan]

I have one of these that I got somewhere for like $2.

Don't use Drano. It destroys plastic and doesn't really do anything else anyhow.

+1 for orange jagged thingy. Got one at Home Depot a few months ago for like $2 or $3

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Yep, been using the jagged plastic thing for ages. The last time I did the shower I pulled out a hair clog the size of a fucking cat and it's never clogged up again since.
