Boiler Flame Loss

Thu, 14 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Boiler reports flame loss and we lose heat. Happened several times. At first assumed someone shut it off but reviewing the boiler’s messages it is generating a fault F.380

Door Hinges Missing Parts

Thu, 14 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

20260512: Went to active doors to acquire 8 hinges and 2 strike plates

8 door hinges missing pins
some hinges missing screws
front door missing top and bottom strike plate for the flush bolt.
primary suite boiler room has a strike plate screwed into the top of the door as to not lose it. The screws used here were probably pillaged from a couple of hinges that were missing screws.

List of outlets that needs to be completed

Confirm if water line is leaking

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Trying to track down source of water accumulating in storm well. One possibility could be from incoming water line leaking. To confirm this, we can shut the water line running into the property and see if there’s a difference in the amount of accumulation in the storm well. In order to do this we will also need to look into the following:

Can the house be heated without the water line
When water line is turned off and back on, how to bleed the lines of any air that was introduced when line was cut.

Family Room Fireplace Removable Countertop

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Do not glue countertop to cabinet. Counter top should be removable with alignment blocks to prevent it from sliding around. This allows us to get access to the back of the fireplace to run the necessary power and home theatre equipment.

✅ Fence tipped over

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

20260103: Rear fence removed. Landscaping in back yard has begun since yesterday.

Fence on back tipped over due to high winds. It collapsed into the property so I believe the alley way is not blocked but the fence’s feet are now upright which may pose a hazard for pedestrians.

Dishwasher Drain Pipe for Diswasher and Water Filter

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Need 2 drain pipes under the main kitchen sink. One for water filter and another for dishwasher.

The water filter will reside on the front left side under the kitchen sink.

Notify when Pump offline

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Hardware

Option 1: metering from electrical panel

Previously purchased a TUYA ZigBee Smart Circuit Breaker Power Metering 1P 63A before realizing that the pump is one a “Two Single‑Pole” breaker switch. The metering device needs to be hooked onto the same circuit as one of the poles (but not replace it). This will require electrican’s help.

Option 2: metering from pump panel with use of clamps

wires are very clustered togther. Uncertain if this poses a problem.

Concealing Hidden Door in Theatre Room

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Dimensions

Height from floor to drop ceiling is 7'11"

Approx length from front to back of theatre room is 14'

Note: Washroom might be partially covered.


height 7'11"	2'3 3/4" to the washroom
3'9 1/2" to the end opposite wall from hidden door	4’ every post-it note from left
4’ every post-it note from right

Method 1: Curtains shingled

Shingle the curtains towards the projector screen, have light strips aimed towards the projector screen hidden behind the singled curtains.

Connect Gas to Stove

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Plumber did a brief check over appliances installed and mentioned gas line not connected.

Will pass this along to appliance installer next time he shows up

Bedroom Warmer and Noisier

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

20251212: Plumber confirmed water lines here run to the west wing. If west wing needs more radiant heat, it will cause an increase and noise and tempurature here.

The primary suite north west bedroom is warmer and noisier than the rest of the house. I believe the water pipes in the closet is the source of the problem. Will extra insulation help remedy this problem? Do we need special insulation that is rated to handle moisture like the ones used along the exterior walls with water pipes running through them.

✅ Pump Alarm Repeating

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

20251212: Plumber resolved the issue. Replaced floater, pump 1 was jammed and cleaned twice. Wiring was messed up according to plumber it is fault of electrician. After all that was sorted the pump is now behaving as expected. Alternates between pump1 and pump2 when activation float triggers. Have not verified if the lag float is working as the work took till 6-7pm and everyone wanted to call it a day. Also need to verify if wiring hub is covered because junior tech dropped the cover and I wasn’t present to see if picked it up from the bottom of the well. Marking issue as resolved but with @todo to look for wiring cover.

Circuit Breaker Tripping

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

20251220: Breaker #8 is tripping again. Appliance tech was installing main kitchen fan and could not get the fan running due to electrical wiring issue that requires electrician to followup. He believes the breaker #8 is the one that powers the fan.

20251212: Breaker #8 is no longer tripping. Uncertain if this has to do with the plumber’s complaint about the wiring problem and/or appliance technicians sorting out the power for the appliances they have installed so far.

Cable Modem Placement

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Cable modem will be placed on upper cabinet.

Need power cable run to that cabinet. Either extension cord with holes in cabinet or install outlet.
Need network cable run to that cabinet. Possibly run cable from south side along the ceiling or baseboard.

No Power to Outlet

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Have not confirmed other outlets but I came across one outlet that does not work. It is the one in Upper South Bedroom

✅ Hidden Door not Aligned

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

20260307: Cabinet installers went ahead with the quick solution to use long screws to secure the hinges. The door will likely not withstand abuse since it relies on the current wood frame to keep the hinge in place. Over time the wood will get compressed and hinge may wiggle. the screws will end up wiggling loose. I suppose the empty space around the hinge could be filled with something but that may make replacing the doorframe in the future harder. The upper hinge screw is significantly angled downwards, this might be for the better since it will less likely wiggle out. Marking issue as resolved.

Remove Door Frames

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

20251212: Family room door frame removed by cabinet installers.

Door frames needs to be removed from 2 hidden doors:

~~Family room. A feature wall will cover the east side of the wall. Leave the door frame alone on the west side.~~
Theatre room. There will be sound panels that will be installed concealing this door. The door frame on the east side needs to be removed. The baseboard extended and added to bottom of the door to help conceal it. There will probably be a gap to allow the door to swing open 90 degrees. Sound panels will be installed at a later time.
