Compatability of Timer Wall Switch with 100w Halogen Bulbs

I have several outside lights thate use 100w Halogen GY6.35 base pins bulbs. I just installed a Leviton Timer Switch with the presets 10-20-30-60 min. Noticed after install, it states for "Incandescent Bulbs only ", they all seem to be working ok and not any hotter than usuall. I have read...

Adding Additional Footings ?

We have a 1968 Golden West Double that has been in our park since new. At the time I'm told that the Local and State Building Codes (Santa Cruz County, CA) required piers every 8 feet? Some one mentioned that the code now requires piers every 4 feet. My wife and I are trying to weigh the benefits if...

Re: Kitchen/bathroom plumbing issue

Kind of new here myself, but after reading all this, I would think that if you laid out 50 feet of snake in the lines that you are probably into "park" territory and should give your manager/handyman a ring. I had a similar problem, and it was infact blocked well beyond my unit. Of course ...

Re: Patio Cover falling off !!!

Update: Thanks for all the ideas and help, got it back together. Got up there with a pro, and peeled back the flashing. Looks like never was seated properly, pry marks on the track from trying to pop it in along time ago. Shot some lags through the overhang into the top plate and all seems ok. Not a...

Re: Patio Cover falling off !!!

It is a concrete patio not footings. My question is, is it probable that if I loosen the bottom bolts on the uprights, that I can get enough movement to push the overhang back into the bracket? Not sure how the bracket feeds on a new install, from the side and slide in or, lift and push in. This is ...

Re: Patio Cover falling off !!!

Thanks for all the input. I found a label on the cover, "Plastart Products" is the mfg, and "Neet" awning is the product. I measured and took levels and it is fairly true. It probably has been in place 40 years as has the unit. It is posted to concrete that looks "newer"...

Re: Patio Cover falling off !!!

I tried to upload some pics and was unsuccessfull. Its your basic 30 year old patiow cover, not the W shape panels. It appears to attach to the home via a bracket mounted to the house, with the panels snaping into it. The panels have popped out of the bracket starting at one end. I am not familiar w...

Patio Cover falling off !!!

My patio cover is about 30 feet long and looks like it is made up of 35 12" panels with 5 dual support posts. One corner has popped loose and is sagging about an inch. It looks like the domino effect is pulling about 8 panels along with it. It looks like a C type bracket is screwed to the home ...
