Smelling gas in the home? Take action

Do you smell gas in the home Edmonton? Natural gas leaks can be serious and the support you need is only a call away.

 

Repeatedly we encounter minor to moderate natural gas leaks.  I have even entered a home with a know leak for over one year time.  Anytime you suspect Natural Gas do not delay, know who to contact in your jurisdiction. For this article we will refer to ATCO Gas in our great city of  YEG Edmonton Home Inspection.

   http://www./atcogas.com                                                                                                                     

Natural gas unchanged really has little to no smell. A product called Mercaptan is added to the gas to give us that easy to identify smell of rotten eggs.

Do you believe you smell natural gas? Leave immediately. Leave everything as is no need to change lights or appliance settings. Once you have left the home or building in YEG Edmonton contact ATCO GAS at 780-420-5585 or call 911 without delay.

 

Only a few months ago I was requested to perform a home inspection. One of the first comments in the list of concerns was a “smell gas in the home”.  Sure enough they were correct. Our EzFlex™ Combustible Gas Detector quickly located the leak.  This confirmed the presence of a leak even with the shut off valve in the closed position.

When your YEG Edmonton Home Inspector is working for you an important tool utilized is the  EzFlex™ Combustible Gas Detector. These small handheld units only need a few minutes to warm up and can last years.

A very good investment for any YEG Edmonton Home Inspector for around $200.00.

 

So we confirmed the leak now what.

I in this case we decided to open the windows in order to get a good air exchange. We then contacted ATCO GAS at 780-420-5585. We informed the very patient operator of the concern and discovery. Within no less then twenty minutes a ATCO GAS van arrived. Another service professional was in the home. This guy came prepared with some the best equipment. He confirmed our concern and got to work.

This ATCO gas service professional was in the home for under an hour. He had not only completed repairs required to this fire place but also completed a assessment of all the gas lines accessible. A complete system inspection or accessible areas. ATCO is a diversified global corporation delivering service excellence. Best of all there was no cost to the home owner. This is a free safety driven service. There is no compromise to safety, rest assured ATCO offers multiple services to home owners.

SKÅDIS: 5 ways to make the IKEA pegboard even better

IKEA introduced its own pegboard system, SKÅDIS, two years ago and I’d say it’s one of the best systems IKEA launched in recent years.

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a  Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...

A beautiful design idea for the IVAR cabinet with doors

A wall of IVAR cabinets with doors engraved is astonishingly captivating. Because IVAR is real solid wood (unlike a lot of flat-pack cupboards), it makes a great blank canvas for CNC machining work and engraving. IKEA items used: IKEA IVAR cabinets in 30mm (12″) and 50mm (20″) depths. IVAR cabinet | IKEA.com Other materials and tools: CNC Router How to engrave the IVAR cabinet with doors: Build a wall of IVAR cabinets to your preference. It’s not too difficult to shorten some in order to fill a wall exactly. I shortened the top row to 695mm and reduced the depth of the middle column to 40mm to create a 50/40/30 sequence so that I didn’t block the window but maximised storage capacity. Take a drawing, trace it in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into a black-only flat design. You can simplify the path at this point to reduce the time needed to engrave. Chop up the drawing in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator into door-sized sections. Save as an SVG. Import the ...
