I'm replacing my goodman furnace blower motor my question is what speed goes to heat, cool, M1 and m2. My motor has a neut, run cap wires and a black red blue and orange. My guess is the black lands on the cool terminal so the A coil won't turn to ice but I'm just guessing

Help understanding pressure balanced vs thermostatic valves for shower

Hello,



I'm shopping for a couple new tub/shower faucets, as we have the old two handle faucets in both bathrooms and both sets are pretty well shot. I was looking at Delta, and just trying to get more information on what pressure balanced vs thermostatic (Delta's TempAssure) valves are, since they are both available as single handle faucets (a volume control and a temp control, both on a single faucet)



We have 4 kids, so the risk of a toilet flushed while showering in the morning is reasonable - which is what I understand the pressure balancing valve will prevent scalding. What's the thermostatic valve do? Is it worth the extra money?





Here's one for example:

If that was my child I would have been in there doing everything to get my kid back....... the mom in this case.... who negligently allowed her child into the cage..... was heard on tape saying "Lord, protect my child"....... lol



Maybe she should have prayed before going to the zoo for the Lord to keep her kids safe..... lol



Harambe is cat food now...... big cats...... I bet they took his carcass to the lion cage after the zoo shut down...... lol



Of course... wonder if the big cats would even eat him.....

After a while... even those zoo animals expect to see their food brought to them already prepared.... with the hair and bones removed....... lol

Staining 20 year old concrete floors? Any tips?

Most silent AC unit

I have currently a Comfortmaker AC unit.

The unit is probably about 15 years old and generally in good shape. However, I believe it needs some service. Air is not as cold anymore as it used to be.

I am sure it could be serviced. It is a 3ton Comfortmaker from 1996. A8036a2c1



However, since it is mounted beneath my deck I am considering to replace the AC unit to reduce noise.

The deck spans the entire with of the unit and is 7ft high. Moving the unit to a better location is very difficult to impossible.



I would like to find out what types would be best for the installation location. for example, would this type be better, given the fan pushing air out instead of up?

Those who want to trash Trump now that he is the Republican candidate and by default support commie loving Hillary are not Americans IMHO. Thank you, thank you very much.

Window AC fan not working

I have an LG 18000 BTU window unit that does and doesn't work. The compressor will run but the fan doesn't. There is power getting to the motor, but it just hums. I gave the fan blades a good spin and the motor started spinning. However, the whole unit shut off after about 15 minutes and the motor was extremely hot. Not sure if this is normal? Any ideas what could be the problem?

Yet another door and RO question

installing new doors in my hallway for 3 bedrooms, bathroom and 2 closets. When I took the 28" bath door off, it had 1 1/2" of shims on each side and the RO is ~32". When I measured the replacement 28" door, it will fit but the trim only overlaps the RO by abt 1/4" on each side. I'm sure the answer is YES, but should I return the door and get a 30" door?

Eventually, we'll all have to pay for this: James

Carrier Cor / Ecobee 2 stage question

I have a 5 ton Carrier with a 2 stage compressor. With the thermostat set for the A/C to kick on when the indoor temp is 1 degree above the set temp, and the Stage 2 Temp Delta set at the default 3 degrees, the second stage does not kick in. Outside temps have been 85, but I assume once we get to 93 or so here in south Florida, it most likely will. However, for now it is not, and the 3 degree default says it prioritizes comfort over efficiency. But if I set the Stage 2 delta to Auto, then the second stage kicks in and over the course of the day, the unit runs less time. But I always thought lower tons for a longer time was more efficient than higher ton for shorter time.



Anyway, I'm trying to figure out if I should leave the Stage 2 Delta set to 3 degrees, Auto, or some other value.



Thanks

Air conditioner problem - desperate for assistance!!!

Hi there,



We have a portable Hisense air conditioner that is nearly six years old, and since the end of last Summer (2015), we noticed that the unit is no longer cooling the room as efficiently and not condensing any water into the collector. What could be the problem? Are the two problems related? Could it be the refrigerant needs to be replaced?



Thanks, and any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

brakes won't release

The brakes won't release on my ford ranger 2000. But I am not too sure if it is the emergency brake or the pedal brake. So first of all how do I figure out which one it is?

Cigarette lighter intermittently cuts out

I have a 2001 Toyota Celica GT-S. The cigarette lighter that I only use to power various devices has started to intermittently not work. Judging by the power light on the plugs I put in it, I can jiggle it and the power light turns on and off. If I get it set in a good position to have the light on, it will go out when a bump in the road, or pulling on the cord re-positions it in the outlet to where it loses power again. The problem has been getting progressively worse to the point where it loses power a dozen times during my 20 minute work commute, and is the same regardless of the particular plug I put into it.



I'm guessing there is a loose power connection to the socket, but do not know how to remove it to check/tighten the connections. I've found several videos for other car lighters that disassemble differently. Can anyone guide me on how to get to the back of the socket to check the connections, or tell me if something else may be the problem? Thanks! ~Jim

Craftsmen air compressor

First off hello and thanks for letting me join the forums.



Ok my 30 gallon air compressor is right around 13-15 years old. It's a 150psi 2-6hp 30 gallon craftsmen air compressor. When I start it it runs for a couple seconds then blows the fuse in my shop. It has ran in there for a atleast 5 years. There is no extension cords and nothing else plugged in with it. I think I have the conductor out of it and it still does it.. Is this the conductor I need to replace or is there something else wrong with it.

No start issue, seems like no spark

Eager-1 (techumseh) motor on Craftsman push mower.

6.25hp, 185cc,

Model: 143.00620

Family: XTPXS.1851BA



I have a Craftsman push mower with a 6.25hp, 185cc motor. I believe it is a Techumseh Motor. It started right off the first couple times I used it this year. However, the last time I went to start it a couple days ago, it would not start. Not even an indication it wanted to.



In the past, it would only do this after it had been running a while and was hot. If I stopped it while hot, it would refuse to start until it cooled down. But now it won't start when cold whereas before it would almost always start first pull when cold.



So, I pulled the plug and there is gas in the cylinder and on the plug. I took some household electrical wire and grounded the plug to the block with the plug wire on the plug and I see no spark at all with the plug. I removed the kill switch wire from the magneto thinking it might be shorted as well and it still would not start. I installed a new spark plug and it still wont start and I still see no spark. I also removed the magneto, filed the mounting holes on the magneto and block to ensure a good connection and still nothing. So, I am thinking the Magneto is shot. I read somewhere that a motor that is hard to start or won't start when hot is a sign of a magneto going out as well.



Before I spring for a new magneto, is there anything else it could be? Is there any definitive way to test the magneto? Any suggestions on where to go from here?



And just to be sure everyone is on the same page, here is what I am calling the Magneto. It seems there are two or three common names (Coil for example) for this part and I didn't want any confusion.





I pulled the flywheel tonight hoping to find some jacked up points but seems my mower doesn't have points so I am at a loss as to where to go from here. My thoughts are an issue with spark. I cannot see a spark when I turn it over and I even tried using myself as a spark meter. hahaha. It was hard to turn it over while holding the spark plug wire and touching the block at the same time but I did get a small jolt. Nothing like I expected however. Since there are no points, I am thinking it has to be a bad coil (magneto). But, I don't want to spring for a new one unless I know that is the problem. Does anyone have any further suggestions?



Here is a photo after I pulled the flywheel off expecting to find the points and condenser. So does this have electronic ignition? Or is that just a dumb question?

Simple pergola question

I've looked at a lot of pictures of pergolas. It seems to me a lot of pergolas without a consistent roof or fabric don't seem to work very well: vertical slats don't work when the sun is high, and they only work well when it is perpendicular to them. As such here is what I am thinking, but I wonder why I don't see this design used much? I would have the slats angled at 45 degrees.







So 4X4 posts, 2X8" joist probably, and 5/4 decking about half way notched in (as deep as a circular saw will get me).



Fabric won't save any money over this plus it blows around and decays. The benefit to the angled wood instead of laid flat like a deck is that I don't get additional snow weight on top of this (it will be on top of a deck). Also it gives the ideal angle against the sun when the sun is perpendicular to it and, finally, as the sun swings around at late day and sends its light parallel to the slats, they still offer substantial shade (though not complete).



Feel free to post thoughts on if this is awesome or terrible! Thanks!

3 Unusual Lessons We Learned by Studying Over 16 million Posts (And 100,000 Brands) on Social Media

At Buffer, we love to see new stats and research about how to best share to social media and drive engagement. And as a brand on social media ourselves, we know just how challenging it can be to post engaging content across multiple channels.

To learn more about how brands are tackling social media in 2016, and importantly, to discover what's working, we decided to study what types of posts brands were sharing the most of on social media.

We examined over 100,000 accounts, which consisted of over 14 million tweets and two million Facebook updates to figure out how brands have been sharing to social media over the past 12 months.

Here's how it broke down…

How have brands been sharing to social media

Which social networks are brands posting to?

Facebook and Twitter are still leading the charge

After looking at over 16 million updates over 12 months, covering Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google +, Facebook and Twitter, we found that brands posted primarily to Facebook and Twitter. It makes sense seeing as both social networks have the largest active audiences of the group according to this study.

Here's the breakdown of percentages:

• 79.6% of updates were sent to Twitter


• 13.8% of updates were sent to Facebook


• 3.6% of updates were sent to Google +


• 2.3% of updates were sent to LinkedIn


• .5% of updates were sent to Pinterest

How many times are brands sharing per week

This data was super-interesting for us as we love to experiment with posting schedules frequencies. We found that brands posted to Twitter more than any other network – which feels about right considering the more real-time feel of Twitter.

I was a little surprised to see that Facebook is the only other network where brands post an average of once per day.

Which types of post are getting the most engagement

For this part of the study, we looked at how many engagements (clicks, likes, shares) each post a brand shares gets on average across Facebook and Twitter. We found that Facebook video appears to be leading the way here (by a considerable margin, too) and photos are still leading the way on Twitter.

It's interesting to see that links appear to be driving more engagement than photos on Facebook at the moment. It feels like this could be due to their visual nature, now when you post a link, a large image is displayed, as is meta data from the post, giving brands plenty of opportunities to grab user's attention as they scroll through their news feeds.

Here's an example:

A cool way to potentially further increase the success of links on Facebook could be to create specific headlines and descriptions for your post. Here at Buffer, we use a neat tool called Yoast to choose the image, title, and description that'll accompany a link when posted to Facebook:

Does Twitter have a noise problem?

Twitter have recently made similar adjustments with links pulling meta data into the timeline. Could this lead to a boost in Twitter link engagement? Maybe. But for now, it feels a little like Twitter has a noise problem, with images being one of the few ways to stand out in the timeline.

Bathroom - Single, unshared circuit

In the midst of a bathroom repair/remodel.



From what I understand bathroom receptacles should be on a dedicated 20A circuit and GFCI protected. The bathroom lights and exhaust fan can share that circuit so long as no fixed single load is more than 10A.



Is this correct?



Part two, if what I said above is correct, should the light switches be on the GFCI circuit (come after the outlet)?
