Sounds reasonable to me, provided they almost exactly fill the space. Otherwise the balls will all move away from the pressure point, leaving only two points of contact and possibly overloading (spa

They sell "self-drilling" sheet metal screws that have a tiny drill bit on the end, designed for use with steel framing members. Or there's always construction adhesive. Randall

Seems to me that Clopay uses the term "rough opening" differently than I do. To me, "rough opening" is the distance between the studs that hold up the header. http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/wind

I agree. Hydrometers are fairly useless with most modern 'sealed' batteries. And an inexpensive load tester plus a charger (and time to charge the battery) will do fine for testing without a vehicle

No idea ... but at least some of the batteries I've seen do have distinct caps, that are heat-welded into place. You cannot remove the caps without damaging the battery. I assume the caps are used o

Tankless units need a lot of power when the water is flowing, because they have to heat the water basically instantly. Generally they have a limited temperature rise too, so the hot water may be coo

That's a nifty idea. But why would the valve need to be thermostatic ? Why not just a solenoid valve that only opens when the pump is running ? Seems like this would be easy to build yourself, and r

Exactly what I was thinking about my shower. Generally I turn the shower on first, then brush my teeth while the hot water comes from the other end of the house. That only wastes a little hot water.

True enough, but the energy it took to heat it is not. Nor is it free, either from pollution or money. Randall

The problem with that approach is that it requires the entire hot water line to be very well insulated, or it results in a huge heat (energy) loss. In my case, it's a bit difficult to insulate the p

Perhaps your laundry gets washed in cold water, but mine certainly doesn't. At least one load/week gets done in full hot around here (whites like towels, sheets and underwear). Randall

That's true to some extent, but accuracy includes repeatability and consistency. Repeatability can suffer if, for example, there is excess backlash in the gear train to drive the needle (on a dial c

First, easiest test would be to hook them to a known good, fully charged battery. Monitor the voltage directly at the battery. If the charger is working, you should immediately see the voltage rise

That's a different kettle of fish, Mike. If it's running up to 23 volts open circuit, then it's not regulated and qualifies as a "trickle charger" rather than a "float charger". At only 400ma (in fu
