Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces.
![Page 2: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
This is a bathroom outlet.
Some people believe in those
Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters but they take up a lot of space and cost
a lot.
![Page 3: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A new idea but still needs
some refinement.
That’s an automotive radiator attached to the floor joists with hot water piped to it. All the pipes and the wood-burning boiler can be constructed of recycled components.
![Page 4: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Here, your auto mechanic know how pays off. A
radiator hose from a 1945 Pontiac can be used to
replace piping leading into
the main drain stack.
Why pay a plumber when you have all the know how and parts?
![Page 5: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Here's another brilliant idea:
Keep the supply & return
registers close together so the
air can flow freely back to the furnace.
The house seems a little chilly and the furnace
keeps running. This needs more study.
![Page 6: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Another good idea: It saves cutting a hole in the roof.
![Page 7: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The inspector said something about needing flashing.
Flashing—who needs
flashing?!?
![Page 8: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Here you have your basic downspout planter, with
an attractive—and healthy—sword fern contrasting
nicely with the red window trim. You, too, can have one of these
beautiful planters.
Self watering and the lady of the house will love it.
![Page 9: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CPVC pipe touching the flue pipe? The fix? Slip some card board between the warm flue pipe and melt-able plastic!
![Page 10: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Like lots of light when taking a shower? It’s also handy to have the light
switch close by.
![Page 11: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
FOILED!Cheaper than
buying another section. This
section of water heater flue pipe is made entirely out of aluminum
foil.
![Page 12: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Rain gutter capped on both ends? Needs at least one down spout.
![Page 13: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Waterfall
It’s a good idea to connect all
drain pipes before using the
bathtub..
![Page 14: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Recycle
Inexpensive plug for the cleanout.
![Page 15: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Homemade Humidifier
Why mess with all that high-tech gadgetry in a
humidifier? A Cool Whip container
filled with water will do the same thing.
![Page 16: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Smell a Rat?
It’s a good idea to cover all unused
knock-outs.
![Page 17: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A Plumbing Odyssey
If your plumbing job
looks like this, you might want to draw a map.
![Page 18: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Wreching
This might not be the best way to shim between
the support post and the
beam.
![Page 19: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
.
Duct! If you have a
broken framing member in
your attic, use the all-purpose
structural repair kit — duct tape!
![Page 20: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hot Water Heater Installation
It is not recommended to install hot water heaters on their side. Also use a TPR valve. Not a large pressure
gauge.
![Page 21: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
.
Chimney Installation
Be sure to fireproof the siding with a
metallic paint.

RECYCLE
Clever idea for recycling
that old jockstrap.
![Page 23: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Recycle
Another excellent
example of recycling. Flex duct
support in the crawlspace..
![Page 24: Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070406/56814283550346895daeb1a0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Dryer Wire
Here is the latest in electrical wiring
techniques for dryer hookups. No box
required. We recommend a piece of duct tape over the
connections.

Another Recycle
Opportunity
The people at Rubbermaid will
be proud of a new-found use
for a garbage can lid.

This manual is for the Redneck do-it-yourselfer.
Most jobs look better after a few cans of Bud Lite.
