X-post from Kitchens: Possible to switch kitchen sink & washer?
Comments (1)Washer drains used to be 1 1/2", which would be fine to relocate a sink drain there, but if you move the washing machine, it will have to meet current codes, which is a 2" drain. You would need to be able to jackhammer the concrete of the current kitchen drain location all the way back to the main drain to replace it with a 2" drain from the kitchen's 1 1/2" inch....See MoreIs wiring switches together up to code?
Comments (8)I'm helping a friend rewiring part of his house and I found this situation: 2 12-3 home runs, one going straight to the kitchen wall and the other one going to the furnace in the garage. The first 12-3 feeds two recept. with the blk. crt, the the red crt. jumps to the switch box to feed the disp. Then, the 12-3 in the garage, one crt. feeds the furnace and other crt. goes to the same disp. switch box. to feed the dishwasher. Here is where I see the problem, they ran a 12-3 to the the recept. under the sink and tied the disp to the red leg and the dishwasher to the blk leg and all the neutrals together, is that right, having neutrals together from two different H.R.?...See MoreMock up layout of light switches, outlets, lights, etc. Thoughts?
Comments (14)I have a dimmer in my bathroom for that purpose. I suppose if you wanted something fancy, maybe a toekick light that is on a motion sensor would be cool. Enough light to get to the toilet, but not enough to wake you up. I just hate excessive light switches. Especially if it's in an area where guests might have to use them. Just as important as the number of lights is the number of switches. In those big rooms, you probably don't want ALL of the recessed lights controlled by one switch. Especially around the TV. In those areas, when you're watching TV you'd want the lights off near the TV but maybe have the lights on over the couch and sitting area. Too many switches is bad, but too few is bad too....See MoreMock up layout of light switches, outlets, lights, etc. Thoughts?
Comments (0)So I just went over my floor plans in MS Paint, very tedious endeavor to make a layout of all the light switches, outlets, lights, etc but its done. Should I take away/add anything? Hows it look? House is 2063 sq ft, everything finished in the basement except mech room....See Moremama goose_gw zn6OH
