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.
![Page 4: This is a Redneck Handy Mans reference book. Feel free to use any of the ideas. (Click to See Next Slide) Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5519adca55034600498b4568/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
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?!?
![Page 8: This is a Redneck Handy Mans reference book. Feel free to use any of the ideas. (Click to See Next Slide) Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5519adca55034600498b4568/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
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 card board between the warm flue pipe and melt-able plastic!

Like lots of light when taking a shower? It’s also handy to have the light
switch close by.

FOILED!Cheaper than
buying another section. This
section of water heater flue pipe is made entirely out of aluminum
foil.

Rain gutter capped on both ends? Needs at least one down spout.

Waterfall
It’s a good idea to connect all
drain pipes before using the
bathtub..
![Page 14: This is a Redneck Handy Mans reference book. Feel free to use any of the ideas. (Click to See Next Slide) Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5519adca55034600498b4568/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Recycle
Inexpensive plug for the cleanout.

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.
![Page 16: This is a Redneck Handy Mans reference book. Feel free to use any of the ideas. (Click to See Next Slide) Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5519adca55034600498b4568/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Smell a Rat?
It’s a good idea to cover all unused
knock-outs.
![Page 17: This is a Redneck Handy Mans reference book. Feel free to use any of the ideas. (Click to See Next Slide) Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5519adca55034600498b4568/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A Plumbing Odyssey
If your plumbing job
looks like this, you might want to draw a map.
![Page 18: This is a Redneck Handy Mans reference book. Feel free to use any of the ideas. (Click to See Next Slide) Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5519adca55034600498b4568/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Wreching
This might not be the best way to shim between
the support post and the
beam.
![Page 19: This is a Redneck Handy Mans reference book. Feel free to use any of the ideas. (Click to See Next Slide) Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5519adca55034600498b4568/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
.
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.
![Page 21: This is a Redneck Handy Mans reference book. Feel free to use any of the ideas. (Click to See Next Slide) Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5519adca55034600498b4568/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
.
Chimney Installation
Be sure to fireproof the siding with a
metallic paint.

RECYCLE
Clever idea for recycling
that old jockstrap.
![Page 23: This is a Redneck Handy Mans reference book. Feel free to use any of the ideas. (Click to See Next Slide) Not responsible for fires, flooding, electrocutions,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5519adca55034600498b4568/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Recycle
Another excellent
example of recycling. Flex duct
support in the crawlspace..

Dryer Wire
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 Recycle
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 cans of Bud Lite.
