Yesterday, the water pump on my truck packed it in - replaced that.
This morning, house's furnace motor packs it in - replaced that.
Certainly wasn't part of my plans for the weekend.

Will fuck off, again.
Finished insulating the garage ceiling today, used R22 Roxul, stuff is very easy to work with but was roughly twice as expensive the fiberglass.
What does a furnace motor generally cost?

That's a pretty generic question, there are many different types. Belt Drive, Direct Drive etc.Originally posted by nzwasp

Figure out what one you are trying to replace, then go here:

They seem to range from around $100 to $500.

About $140 for mine, finding one on a Sunday morning is a bit more challenging.

So if a motor is only a couple of hundred dollars why do people need to install a whole new furnace, to me it mostly looks like metal ducting. I am only curious because my inlaws furnace is coming up on 30 years.

Could be it's burned/corroded through in the heat exchanger or they just want more efficient model. Ours is 30 or so years old and this is the first repair we've done in the 20 years we've lived there, otherwise it's in very good condition - difficult to say if a more efficient model would make up in savings the cost it would be to put in.Originally posted by nzwasp

Im thinking the furnace is lucky to still be running
Ripped out the garburator that wasn't working any more and put in just plain pipe. I know some people love the garburators, but my wife and I never did. Honestly don't understand the point. Will be easy to install one in the future if I want to, but doubt I will.
Took far too long to do it, and three trips to the hardware store, but mostly because I had no idea what I was doing. I've never worked with plumbing pipe before, only PEX on the supply side. If I had to do another again, I could do it much faster and easier. Spent $67 in supplies, but ended up buying a "kit" and could have just bought the parts separately at lowes. I like lowes.

Interesting that you did that loop on the left side instead of just a U pipe. Or is it because it's not possible?
Test the dishwasher drain line for leaks on a quick cycle before you walk away.
^ YES. Just make sure that the dishwasher doesn't cause issues on you.
Installed my companies permanent exterior holiday lighting system.
Looks amazing, and certainly looking forward to never having to climb up a ladder to hang lights again
Gave myself rhino skin watching hugh jackman in chappie
Which lighting system? If you don't mind can you post a picture please?Originally posted by BavarianBeast

the P-trap (loop) was already on that side and I didn't see a reason to take it apart. The garburator was on the right side previously.
Yes, the dishwasher connection isn't on in that pic. I did it up and tested it right away before I went to bed last night. Wouldn't want that bad boy pumping water into my cabinet while I was sleeping.

I've PM'd you as we are not set up as a sponsor as of yet.
There is a guy on my street who just had this done. Or he owns a similar company. I saw a sign on his lawn. I've been meaning to contact him to get some pricing.
Spent some time updating the front of our house.
I dont have a before pic. But was all white, wood railings, rotting lattice, boards, posts, stairs etc. Needed some TLC as the prior owner had done little to no maintenance over the years
Took it all down to the studs/top deck boards (didnt want to replace as are in good shape and didnt want to have to deal with temporary supports) and put in new wood, vinyl lattice, painted everything, aluminum railings.
Pretty happy with the results. Now just have to get a new front door, sand/stain top boards, and redo shutters/sills to match.
