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
