This is a Redneck “Handy Man’s” reference book. Feel free to use any of these ideas
Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions, shootings or divorces
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
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.
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?
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.
Another good idea: It saves cutting a hole in the roof
The inspector said something about needing flashing
Flashing—who needs
flashing?!?
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
CPVC pipe touching the flue
pipe?
The fix?
Slip some cardboard
between the warm flue pipe
and the meltable plastic!
Like lots of light when taking a
shower?
Also a potential savings in
divorce settlement costs
It’s also handy to have the light switch close by
FOILED!Cheaper than
buying another section. This
section of water heater flue is
made entirely of aluminum foil
Rain gutter capped on both ends?
Saves on downspout costs
Waterfall
It’s a good idea to connect all
drain pipes before using the
bathtub..
Inexpensive plug for the
sewer cleanout
Recycle
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
Smell a Rat?
It’s a good idea to cover all unused
knockouts
A Plumbing Odyssey
If your plumbing job
looks like this, you might want to draw a map
Wrenching
This might not be the best way to shim between
the support post and the
beam
.
Duct! If you have a
broken framing member in
your attic, use the all-purpose
structural repair kit — duct tape!
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
.
Chimney Installation
Be sure to fireproof the siding with a metallic paint
RECYCLE
Clever idea for recycling
that old jockstrap
Recycle
Another excellent
example of recycling
Flex duct support in the crawlspace..
Dryer Receptacle Alternative
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 Recycling
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 bottles of Bud Lite
