Yes! I had one of these way back when. Had a massive gap at the bottom of my door, and during a huge thunderstorm a snake came in under my door to get out of the rain.

I cheaped out on the entrance door.. and now it is the biggest heat loss point in the house. Freezes through. Lets air through in breezy weather. Would take a small prybar to break in. Poor craftsmaship throughout.

Don't cheap out on your door. That's a reminder for me :D

That’s called perspective. Things closer look bigger… welcome to the Renaissance!

Crazy how there's even a tape measure on it, and still people saying it's anything but 9/16"

Take the molding/trim off and shove insulation in the gaps

I have the opposite bed squeaking problem. Mine doesn't squeak enough. I guess I should look for someone to help me with that.

no

Sounds easy, but OP has a TALL vaulted ceiling. Those usually don't have much room to work in, sometimes they do but my living room only has about 2 feet of space, don't want to try to crawl through there.

Either one 14-3 or 2 14-2s. Both give you enough wires, one is easier and cheaper.

Don't disturb it. Avoid it and seal up anything you store there. It looks dank. Don't leave and laundry there, and probably rinse it with vinegar.

And if they messed the wiring up, did they install a ceiling fan box? That fan might be living on borrowed time.

I am confused by your terminology. What is a dual switch? And then you say there is another switch that controls both of them?

Are there 2 switches in one box and only one of those switches control the 2 fixtures? And that switch is a 3-way switch that is also wired to the other switch by the door that is also a 3-way switch, that is how 3-way switches work.

My house was built in 2006 and required 3 conductor wires for ceiling fans so there would be separate switches for fan and light, mine only use one as we have remotes, but the wires are there. See if you have 3-conductor wire at either of those switches - black, red, and white. If you have that you may be able to rewire, and replace switches so each switch only controls one fixture.

So if you have 3-conductor to the fan, you could use the black to feed the ceiling fan and use the remote to switch light/fan. Then use the red conductor, reconnected to only provide power as it bypasses the fan, to feed the other light.

Remove the old weather stripping. Set it aside. Demolish the house and build anew from the ground up. Reapply the old weatherstripping to the door frame. By that time the seasons will have changed. It should cost you no more than $750,000-$1,000,000.

do your dimmers need a neutral?

which exact dimmers are you using?

because if you wired this according to your diagram (white=neutral, black=hot) the only other way this can fuck up is if your dimmers are causing too much emi/noise and screwing with each other.

modern dimmers tend to be digital and not a rheostat.

Yes. Depends where you live. Generally, plans must include where exactly the structure will sit on your property. Is your property considered city or county? The size, including height, when completed. What type of foundation. Is it permanent structure. They have rules about how far it can stand from current structures and boundary fencing sometimes, too.

Heat gun is actually one of the safest ways to remove lead paint.

sanding, and paint, make me the mudder i ain't.

No, there's no way to remove the lettering without also damaging the tubing. wiping with acetone will be the fastest way.

Fiy There are adapters to that type of bulb connecter to the normal ones.

If it is not a lot of trim, remove and replace it. Start with new fresh wood. Prime it and paint it. This is the safest way to get rid of lead paint. You will be so much happier without lead paint chips all over your yard and in your hair and clothes etc...

Turn it on and check if that melted wire gets any voltage. Probably a blown fuse somewhere

The best way would be no trench. Dig on both sides and slam the pipe in the dirt so it's perfectly in the dirt with no void. Use water to clear the pipe after

1/2 inch.

The one advantage of hot mud for beginners is they have to stop... lol

If it's all premixed and ready to go its like kindergarten fingerpainting.

Thanks for the response. They are not 3 way, they are both single pole
