    I bought a Worth lift......

    I've had mine for four years. Love it, no problems. Very well built. If they had a better marketing program, they would blow away Bendpac imho

    Damp under my house need advice??

    You stated when you shut your vents, it was better. Do research on modern building science and you will find out, treat your crawlspace like a basement, sealed up. Plastic cover the ground good, shut the vents, insulate the crawlspace walls. Install French drains and divert water from the...

    Opinion on Professional tool sets.

    Amen to Markdtn! I won a set of Snapon tools from Ford in 1969. I still have most of them and they are worth more today than then. Buying cheap tools is costly. When I hear someone recommend cheap tools, I know they are hobbyists, not pros. I have thousands of dollars of SO tools and love them...

    arizona garage cooling

    Monsoon-July thru September--fact, humidity is higher. Why not 100 tons? Cool it faster. Talk to a HVAC guy and ask about a "Mastercool". Seriously!!

    arizona garage cooling

    5 tons for 1500' is overkill! The unit will short cycle and not dehumidify properly. I wrenched 30 yrs in Phx, and a properly sized mastercool will keep you very comfortable even in the monsoon.[6500cfm]

    so; how much is hydro where you live??

    I don't agree. My meter charge is $18/mo. If I use 1 kwh, my rate is $18.07/kwh. If I use 10,000 kwh, my kwh is .075 cents/kwh. I agree with the taxes added so my amended rate is .0736 cents/kwh including county and state taxes, fuel cost adj., debt cost adj. But I belong to a coop and receive a...
