You could ship them to me, John, along with the gun that uses them. Or your local "hazardous waste" roundup. Randall

Guess maybe you're right, Ed. Since there is no projectile in the 'shell', I thought normal household hazardous waste would cover it. After all, they will take other inflammables, like lighter fluid

Open it up and have a look inside, John. If it's like my Schumacher 2/10/50 unit, you'll be amazed at how simple it is. There's a very good chance that all that's wrong is one of the diodes has shor

Sounds like time to address the problem outside the house instead. Bury drain tile all around the foundation perimeter, and make sure all the soil, sidewalks, etc. are sloped to carry water away fro

Scott, I basically agree with Mark and John. For a major expenditure and installation like a 40-50kW gen set, you really should have a professional do it, including determining the size. You'll also

Even diesel gets old, and needs tending occasionally. In some parts of the world, algae growth is a problem ... and you sure don't want that getting sucked into your engine when the power goes out !

Depends entirely on how long you plan to run. Murphy being an optimist, it's almost certain that eventually, two or more things will try to start at once. You can even work out the odds of this math

That's exactly right, although some older units did blow colder air (at the expense of efficiency). I quit my job in HVAC many years ago ... but Scotty's right anyway. One of my former duties includ

I've not tried it, but I've read some articles. Chances are, the motor and controller would cost a good deal more than the infamous $150 metal-cutting bandsaw from Horrible Freight. I've read an art

Doubled 2x12s might be OK ... I broke several of my singles that way. FWIW, the "non-folding" shop hoist from HF comes apart with minimal hassle into 3 major sections, each of which I can handle mys

It works OK if you're just trying to suck the air out, but doesn't pull a hard enough vacuum to boil out any accumulated moisture (especially from the dryer). So if you have a moisture detector in t

That's true. But your gauge set won't accurately read the difference between 25000 microns (which is about 29" of Hg) and 1500 microns (about 29.8" as I recall), which is what it takes to pull water

Exactly. You have no idea how much vacuum it takes to boil water, and don't care. Ok, maybe my gauge set is "abnormal". I've never seen one that even _claims_ to be accurate to less than 1 percent .

Sure. Just pop the crank into your annealing oven, set for 1500F, for a few hours. Then let it cool slowly. Of course, you'll want to do this in an inert atmosphere ... air will corrode the steel an

You're probably thinking of a "globe" valve. Gate valves have the same handwheel & packing nut, but not the little rubber washer that needs to be replaced occasionally. However, because of the lack
