If you're looking for a heat pump I would think a split system would be the way to go; all the advantages already mentioned by the others. You'll probably need a contractor to install it, though, and

If it has flat ways, pass. If it has V ways, maybe. Other things you want is a quick change gear box, back gears, threading dial and as much tooling as possible. Hopefully a QC tool post.

Actually I haven't seen it on TV, because I don't watch TV, but I think you're talking about spray polyurethane foam. You could probably talk to an industrial roofing contractor or roofing supplier a

Kubota. My parents wore out two JD riding mowers. It seemed like there was always something going wrong with them. I know some people have really good luck with them, but my experience with them is t

MV lights are old tech and as someone else pointed out, high pressure sodium are more efficient. However, I went with a couple of CFL floods to illuminate the area in front of my shop and I'm pretty

Author: cavanadd at frontier.com (David C.)

I only have one blue PVC air hose and it's a PITA to use at anything much below 55 degrees or so. It's a huge pain to use with air tools so it's been left in the garage for inflating purposes only.

I'll add another vote for the Intermatic twist timers. I have installed these in a number of bathroom fan applications and they work fine. Inexpensive, reliable and easy to install.

Author: cavanadd at frontier.com (David C.)

I believe the thinking is that a flush may push crap back into the transmission where it could clog oil passageways and cause more damage than it might prevent. I have a couple of Subaru Forresters.

Depends on how you define "circuit breaker" and "stationary power tool". I have seen a lot of stationary tool motors (always single phase) that have thermal overloads built into them. Motor gets hot,

Or to be contrary, you could get a pretty good used radial arm saw (or four or five really crappy ones) for your budget. Look for an older DeWalt or Delta from the 50s or 60s.

I have three of the Harbor Freight models I bought when they went on sale for $49.00. So far no problems. They don't get used day in and day out, but they do get weekend use.

I had one of these on my system for about six months. Eventually scale and crap built up on the guts of the dump valve and it started leaking, and I took it off. Most of the parts are sitting in a ca
