Rhitter Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I need to add molding,, stack the washer and dryer, and move the fridge. But, I removed the pocket door and opened up the kitchen to the rest of the house http://i.imgur.com/qJXzY3A.jpg to http://i.imgur.com/OLVIvwf.jpg And what we started with. The metal pole is in the left side of the fireplace. The red rug is where the footprint of the fireplace was. A contractor removed the fireplace and installed a skylight. http://i.imgur.com/dtufNAu.jpg Edited February 9, 2016 by Rhitter My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted February 9, 2016 I Donated Share Posted February 9, 2016 Nice! I want to take out the wood-burning fireplace that's in between our living room and dining room. It's similar to your old one in that it's floating, but there is no pole, so it should be easier to remove it. The chimney is also prefab and attaches to the fireplace via a metal vent pipe in the attic, so theoretically, I can cap off the vent pipe and just knock out the fireplace. Of course, when I do that, I'd have to patch the floor, and I'd also want to add a gas fireplace elsewhere in the house at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yep, I am in the "I have to patch the floor" phase right now. Hence the rug . Luckily, I live in Ca, in the bay area, fireplaces aren't really that important. It was more important to get the floor space and jack up / support the floor. The fireplace was bringing it down. There being a pocket door in the wall made it super easy to remove the drywall. The framework is already there for me to remove too. Eventually we want to try and completely open up the kitchen, but this is a really good under $100 solution for now. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconbits Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I want to put a wood burning insert into my fireplace... little stove or something that's more efficient than using the actual fireplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hw repairs aren't that bad. Refinishing continuous flooring is the crappy part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I want a gas insert for our fireplace. That would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconbits Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I have gas plumbed in already, but there's something about a wood burner... Chimney needs swept and there's something up with the flue so I haven't used it yet. Windows first, but an insert is on the "eventually..." list.

jasejase Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I agree about burning, but if I had a gas insert, I would use it a couple times per week... I love the looks of a fireplace, but opening the flue, and then waiting for it to cool down enough to close it, worrying about smoldering coals... splitting wood... etc. Meh. I grew up doing all that. It was cool and all, but ... We don't have gas in the home now, so we would need a tank on the side of the house. Not a huge fan.

rmoore5 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Replacing old rotten steel pipe, it was leaded into cast iron inside the kitchen cabinet. Fun time, burned up my angle drill, stalled it too many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I want a gas insert for our fireplace. That would be fantastic. I am unsure what I want to do with the pole. I need to sand it and clean it up. But really anything will look like I am trying to hide a pole. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 We did the wooden pole wraps in our basement. Stained them. Came out nice. In the middle of my main living room... and just one pole... I would consult with a contractor for removal options. If too costly, I would maybe wrap it, or even do brick veneer and box it out ever so slightly. Almost, making it look like s small chimney.

jasejase Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Changed our well tank today. It was only 7 years since we last did it.... But, it was under sized and had a bladder leak. I'm hoping this resolves our high electric bill too. Our pump was cycling way too often. Went with the amtrol this time. Every time I try to save money on a cheaper part, it bites me in the arse.

ehsnils Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Something you have when you have your own private water well. Also called hydropress tank in some cases. http://www.bedug.com/pics/Fun3/Hydropress_5950440_1383.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Well pressure tank. They hold water under pressure to deliver water without constantly running the pump. They look like this in the US (I have never seen a red one, and they are usually around 20-50 gallons). http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160214/883d1d7c3977e51ef70f9fb3d859de11.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) They look like this in the US (I have never seen a red one, and they are usually around 20-50 gallons). They come in all sizes and shapes, some are red, some are galvanized etc. And pumps are also available in a wide range, from the type you have in the well to those that are beside the tank.

Some examples/ideas: http://www.grundfos.com/market-areas/buildings/family-homes/ground-and-rainwater-supply/product-guide1.html In the US, id say that 90% are blue. Galvanized are still around, but the presurized steel tanks are the norm. Some of the smaller ones are expansion tanks. How do you know that my pump is in the well? You can use that tank for either application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
