re: What should I expect to pay to have a 40 Gal gas hot water heater installed?
Posted by Taffeta on 3/3/26 at 1:55 pm to muttenstein
I bought a 40 gal short from Ferguson supply for about $750
DIY'd it. Dropped old one from attic and pushed new one up. The pipe handle that others mentioned earlier in the thread is a big help with attic work. I made my own out of a 90, T, and piece of pipe that I threaded through the T into the 90. The T and 90 screw onto the hot and cold taps in the tank.
I would buy from a plumbing supply store and not a big box store. They look the same, but better internals.

re: Verizon service in and around BR

I have bad service with Verizon in areas of BR. Changing to US Mobile in 2 months. They have a function where you can switch between T Mobile, Verizon and ATT towers whenever you want.

Missing important details like how old the kids are and where in BR you live.

Agco is good, but they don’t specialize in transmission. I’m sure they could do the work.
I had a bad pinion seal in the rear end of my truck and some metal shaving. They said I needed a new rear and wanted to replace with a used rear end.
I brought it to Zimmer gears and they repaired the seal and bearing for $1000 less than Agco wanted

re: Any of you fellas switch to T-Mobile recently?

I have noticed many pockets of terrible verizon service in Baton Rouge recently.
I pay $175/mo for strictly service on 2 phones. 4 more months and I am going to Visible to see what its about. I realize it is Verizon towers, but I can deal with the issues if I am only paying $60/mo. If Visible doesn't work I will try something else.

It's possible. I would also check your fuses in the air handler in the attic.
Here is how you can check your contactor to see if it is getting proper voltage, if you have a multimeter

re: Widening my storage room
Posted by Taffeta on 10/7/25 at 4:44 am to Will Cover
I have been thinking of doing something similar at my house for awhile now. The existing exterior wall is load bearing, so you would make the window a door, or run a beam across the top so you can open the entire wall up to the new space. Need to find a good framer with a roofing license. I have one in BR if you need.
The biggest hurdle will be the plumbing and where you have a sewer line to tie in to, or you can run a lift station.

We were leaving our resort in Cancun a few years ago and were waiting outside the resort for our scheduled transportation to the airport. While we were waiting, another couple was also waiting for their transport. They had been waiting a lot longer than us. Our transport arrived and I offered for them to ride with us to airport. They accepted and were grateful as they would have missed their flight.
Just depends on what the other people look like and what situation I am in for me to ask or offer something like that. I think you are not wrong in asking.

Yes - and it is actually best practice to pigtail the wires as if an outlet fails for whatever reason it won’t kill the outlets down the line.
