I was amazed at how wiring was done way before I was born, then I found how the current electricians connect to the existing wiring.

can't say much
with my other hat I responded to a fire the other night, the crew had a bunch of question for me about building code issues
i can convert this stove
listing from who
the blower should keep the tape cool
the pipes getting hot, some fiberglass insulation should help
proper clearance to vinyl, not a problem

They never remove the carpet before I write the correction.

I'm surprised they didn't use the outlet for their power supply!
The installation instructions say that the furnace gets hot enough to light you on fire. The workmen just don't understand what they are doing. Imagine some housewife grabbing a melted attachment plug. She gets burned right before the shock. I told them to refer to the installation instructions regarding the receptacle but I doubt that they will find any mention of such a thing. I suppose it will come down to "Tell us what you want" I'm thinking that a foot aught to do it.

the local home store has may fittings and adapters, so you can do anything with enough time
The cabinet belongs to Sprint. It is on the roof of a five story building. It's bigger than it appears in the picture.
Everything about this installation is heavy duty.
Right up until you get to the grate that it is bolted to.
I could have torn it down with my bare hands. They said that they would have the engineer that designed it take another look. I was surprised that an engineer designed it. Most likely an electrical engineer.
The white cabinets contain radio equipment. Sprint can talk to the installation.
The vent serves a 200 gallon water heater.
The contractor became upset when I told him that the vent must be raised above the parapet. He felt better when I told him that he didn't have to do it. Then he felt bad again when I told him that I wouldn't final his work until the vent is raised. He told me that the heat from the vent wouldn't have an adverse effect on the radio equipment. I told him that the radio equipment has an adverse effect on the vent.

If I were the HO, I would be dismayed to learn that the people that installed my wall furnace are that damned stupid.

Ice, I don't inspect gas, so is the issue the flex pipe or the poorly positioned shutoff , or something else?
It's the valve. It can't be reached. The furnace will have to be removed to correct this mistake. On the other hand, the young men that install these may try to remove the valve body and not the furnace. But then again, the company may not allow them to get that technical....at least I hope not.TheCommish said:
The a/c condenser is new and so is the disconnect. The disconnect is in the same spot as the previous disconnect. The window a/c is bolted to the wall. The contractor is upset because I asked him to move the disconnect.
I was a long way (1500') away and driving at the time. The pipe is at least 12" diameter.

Seismic expansion joint?
I have seen many that were parallel to Earth but never standing up like this.....and 20' tall

The only reason I can think of doing an expansion joint like that Would be because of space limitations. Maybe they didn't want to buy right away?ICE said:
