FYI you can just fill some jugs of water and refill the toilet tank. The flush is totally gravity at work once the tank has enough fill. 👍

I still couldn't figure mine out, had to get our maintenance man to bring me some,turns out we don't use the ones I have anymore, they now look like one of the ones you mentioned, which is why I couldn't figure it out the first time, because the other ones look nothing like those and I guess they don't make them anymore.

I’m not sure 🤷🏻‍♂️. I think all you really need is enough to fully close the umbrella. Best of luck with the fix! Hope it goes smoothly.

@averagejoesjimshomeprojects 2 ай бұрын

Oh no! I’m not sure if you can get one of those. I think your only hope is to co tact the manufacturer of your umbrella and see if they can send you a replacement. It is just a cover and you can try fashioning one out of something else. I think those might be your best options. Best of luck, and thanks for watching!

Splitting the drain I totally understand. But is there any reason to split the water inlet line ? I’m thinking of just using a tee off the cold and hot water inlet like to split the feed to both sinks….

@averagejoesjimshomeprojects 2 ай бұрын

That is an option. However, just keep in mind if you do a tee off the existing lines outside the wall, that you’ll have to drill holes in every wall of the vanity on its way to the other sink to run the water lines. Not the end of the world, and I’ve seen people do it that way. I just figured, I had to remove the drywall for the drain anyway, might as well run the water lines in the wall too. I appreciate the question and a great example of how there’s a ton of different ways to do a project like that. 👍🏻

Don't know if anyone is still monitoring this, BUT before I got taking mine apart looking for ANY IDEAS on what's happening w/ my new umbrella? Just recently (after storm?) when closing, the whole canopy is slipping off the road all together & hanging strictly off the cord alone. Opening, it all works fine/ goes back up rod as its supposed to. DO YOU THINK maybe the cord just got stretched out & I may just have to tighten/ re-knot it? (I am disabled, though enjoy DIY, but before I do all that work for me & regret it)... I'm trying to be logical here, as the cord is clearly not snapped & it is a bug umbrella - I usually use under the porch when it rains for my dogs to stay dry when let out for potty time. I also use an old school rubber strap bungee for when it gets windy to keep in place (don't think that had anything to do with issue, or did it?!) THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INPUT!

@jamootoo5200 2 ай бұрын

Damn spellcheck (sorry) the canopy is slipping off the ROD. Other typos I'm sure are easy to figure out. [I hate my phone]

@averagejoesjimshomeprojects 2 ай бұрын

Hmmm, it sounds like you’re on the right track. From your description my best guess is the cord is too long, stretched out, or your hand crank isn’t ratcheting properly in its lower position. If the crank is just loose and won’t hold the umbrella then it will continue to lower like that without stopping until you run out of cord. If I may make one suggestion. If the cord is stretched out or too long, then skipping the disassembly and just going to the umbrella end and removing the cap and pulling some cord out that end and then retrying the knot would be the easiest way to shorten it. See 6:37-6:55 in the video. Best of luck! Hope that helps.

@kyleterlesky4780 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for this! I haven't done the repair yet, but I was wondering two things: how do you know where to cut the paracord to length and do you really need to buy the 100 ft vs the 50 ft?

@averagejoesjimshomeprojects 3 ай бұрын

So the best way to determine how much cord you need is to hook up the cord where the umbrella end is. After you’ve run the cord through the umbrella frame to the crank you’re ready to determine length. Make sure the umbrella is closed because that’s the longest the cord will need to be. At the crank end, add l a couple extra feet of slack before cutting the cord. Then attach the end of the cord to the crank post. Now you should be able to open and close the umbrella fully. Hope the fix goes well! And thanks for watching!

@kyleterlesky4780 Ай бұрын

@@averagejoesjimshomeprojects OK, finally got to the repair today. Definitely trickier than I thought it would be! The worst part was when the crank handle fell out from the housing after removing the nuts from the two bolts. I don't have the same plastic tubes holding the bolts in that you did here. When I looked at the crank handle piece, there was a spring, a small shaped wire and a tapered metal piece. I knew they were for ratcheting and holding the rope crank at position, but how? After some experimentation, I got it (hoped it would work) and proceeded with threading the new cord. Long story short, it actually worked when I put it all back together! Now I just need to replace the faded and thinned umbrella fabric! Thanks again!

There is a way to calibrate it, in the Pentair SLConfig App, under General Settings, there is a “sensor calibration” setting. Should be fine for a sensor only a few degrees off like yours.
