Home Organization App Update | Ask This Old House


Ask This Old House home technology expert Ross Trethewey gives an update on an app he discussed a few years ago. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Cost: $0 Skill Level: Beginner Steps: 1. Download the HomeServe [https://hsapp.com/TOH] app from the App Store, GooglePlay, or via text message through their website. 2. Scan the name plates on appliances in your home. You can usually find the name plate underneath or inside each appliance. 3. The app will automatically download all relevant information, manuals, and warranty information. 4. If an appliance experiences a malfunction, open that appliance in the app to learn some information about it to determine next steps. a. The replacement parts list will list all the different replacement parts available for sale for the appliance and how much they cost. b. It also lists the “useful life” of the appliance, so if the appliance is only expected to last a few more years and the replacement parts required to fix it are expensive, it might be worth replacing over repairing.

How to Install a Gas Lantern | Ask This Old House


Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey travels to St. Louis to install a gas lantern on an original 1890s home in a historic neighborhood. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Time: 2-3 hours Cost: $700 Skill Level: Professional only Tools: Masonry drill [https://amzn.to/2STvcT7] Shopping List: ¼-inch copper gas line [https://amzn.to/3bLPXIZ] Exterior screws [https://amzn.to/326uEgN] Steps: 1. Start by determining the location for the lantern. A few things to consider for placement include how to get access to the space behind the wall, the proximity of the gas line/gas meter, and how close it can be to the entry door. 2. Shut the gas off. 3. Drill a hole in the wall to accept the gas line. 4. Fish the copper gas line down through the hole and into the location where it can be tied into the gas line. 5. Fish the copper line through the lantern bracket and mount it to the wall. Do this before making any gas connections to ensure there is enough slack in the line. 6. Mount the lantern to the bracket and make the gas connections there. 7. Head towards the main gas line and the other end of the copper line. 8. Cut into the gas line and add the appropriate fittings and connections until the line is secure. 9. Turn the gas back on and test for leaks. 10. Purge the line near the lantern by opening it up until a steady stream of gas comes through. 11. To light it, open the gas valve and light a match. The lantern will stay lit as long as the gas line remains open. Resources: Only licensed professionals should work on gas lines. Since Richard is licensed in Massachusetts, not Missouri, he partnered up with Spire Energy (https://ift.tt/2xBK0gy ), a local gas utility in St. Louis. The lantern Richard installed is a French Quarter copper gas lantern [https://amzn.to/37DYsSY] with a gooseneck mount, which is manufactured by Bevolo Gas and Electric Lights (https://bevolo.com/). All the other materials required for the installation, including the ¼-inch copper gas line and the corresponding fittings can all be found at home centers and plumbing supply houses. Expert assistance with this segment was also provided by Bach Construction, Inc. in Cedar Hill, Missouri.

What's Considered a Standard Drink? | Alcoholism


Alcoholism is disease, here’s some resources to help you fight back: Responsible Drinking: A Moderation Management Approach http://amzn.to/1ZdgP9f I Need to Stop Drinking!: How to get back your self-respect. http://amzn.to/1VEqbeU Why You Drink and How to Stop: A Journey to Freedom: http://amzn.to/1Q8pAv2 Alcoholics Anonymous: The Big Book: http://amzn.to/1N0rttl Alcoholics: Dealing With an Alcoholic Family Member, Friend or Someone You Love: http://amzn.to/1j9cvH4 Watch more How to Understand Alcoholism videos: https://ift.tt/2T0vFUE People are often curious about what constitutes a standard drink. People who have trouble with alcohol will often talk about how many drinks they had per night or per week. But you have to ask people what they consider a regular drink for them. What's considered a standard drink is different, depending on the kind of alcohol you're ingesting. So a typical beer would be a 12 ounce beer of 5% alcohol. There are beers of varying degrees, but a typical beer is 5% or a six ounce glass of wine, which is 12% alcohol. Again, that's an average percentage. Or if you're drinking hard liquor, that would be a one and a half ounce shot. That's a typical standard shot glass of liquor. which is of 80 proof or 40%. Those are considered standard drinks. So when we talk about having one drink, that's the standard that's being used. So if you're having a drink that contains the equivalent of three shots of alcohol, you consider that one drink, but professionals would consider that having three drinks instead. So you have to really define your terms and understand what you're drinking.

How to Wire a Portable Generator | Ask This Old House


Ask This Old House master electrician Heath Eastman explains a few different methods for wiring a portable generator to a house. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse Time: 1-2 hours Cost: $500 and Up Skill Level: Professional only Shopping List: Portable generator [https://amzn.to/2SXHARR] Steps: 1. Heath explains some of the ways that a portable generator can be professionally wired to a house. 2. First, never place the generator indoors or in a garage, as it generates carbon monoxide and is fatal. Always place it just on the outside of the house. 3. Most generators can be plugged into a power inlet box, which an electrician can then wire into the house and connect to the electrical panel. 4. Connecting to the electrical panel can be done in two ways: a. The electrician can install a manual transfer switch, which connects to a selection of circuits that are most likely to be needed even when the power is out. Then, in the case of a power outage, the transfer switch can be powered on. b. The electrician can also switch out the main breaker and an additional double-pole breaker with an interlock device and wire the generator directly to that. In the case of a power outage, simply lift the interlock lever, power the generator on, and then select the circuits you want powered on. This allows for more flexibility to use only the things you actually need in the case of a power outage. Resources: Heath first showed a manual transfer switch, which designates specific circuits to be powered in the event of an outage and has to be manually switched from utility power to generator power. He also showed an interconnect switch, which wires to the main breaker panel and allows the entire panel to be energized by the generator. Both of these should only be installed by a licensed electrician and can be purchased from an electrical supply house. Heath showed the GP6500 COSENSE portable generator [https://amzn.to/2SZqOlo], which has a built-in carbon monoxide detector and is manufactured by Generac (https://www.generac.com).
