Looking good

I have a semi-commercial popcorn machine. We've purchased popcorn online and it's been hit and miss. I stumbled across the best popcorn....Do it Best Hardware! You can order it online, or if your lucky, purchase a box from your local store. Very reasonably priced and movie theatre quality.

TH30v..closed loop

Sorry, reading from my phone. Thought you had a tekagi. It's the boiler mounted on the wall. , closed loop inly. I have another one for the other side of the building that is closed loop for the floor heat and open loop for domestic hot water.

I have the Takagi heater it works great. Plug off the lines and get a standard pressure gauge used for testing gas lines (menards, lowes, etc) put 20 pounds of air in it and check it 24 hours later. I filled mine with 20 pounds and finalized the install a couple months later...still 20 pounds. I...

First lift! Oil change on the dually just became so much easier!!

It's every bit of 300 feet of pipe (hot and cold combined) The restraints was gonna be my next question. If I go PEX I'd buy the roll and I think that'll tend to curl on me without using restraints every 4'. (That's how my joists run ) if I buy 10' sticks of PEX no problem, just a bunch of PEX...

Definitely a deterent! Would make a great Thread!! On another ote, would you installyour T8 directly to the ceiling or hang them? I'm going for direct to ceiling, unless I find that there is a serviceable "door" on the top part of the housing

I buy almost everything from Menards, but the price difference was enough for me to buy online. Hopefully I'll have them installed next week! I know what you are saying about the sales tax. I sell products online and on the road all over the country and I'm required to collect sales tax at...

What kind of pipe would you run for hot and cold water lines inside your pole barn? (Heated pole Barn) The lines will be exposed and run across the ceiling and then down the walls at their locations. (On top of the finished metal) CPVC, PEX, ?? (Copper would be great but I don't want to spend...

Bill, I see you are looking at HD to purchase the lights. Check the website I got mine from...bulbs included , free shipping and no sales tax. They have a promo right now for the free shipping and 10% off. Not sure how long that promo runs.

Decided on the T8's. I've heard a few people mention the hot spots to me when using the T5 so I spent the extra $40 to go with the T8. I thought the T5's would be much higher than the T8 but they weren't. I just ordered (8) of the 6 lamp high bay Howard brand for $626.00 delivered to my door...

The t5 has an AVG illuminate of 74tc while the T8 is 69tc. Reflectance is identical on both. Not sure what lighting power density is but they are both 1.3W/Ft. (I assume that's what hits the ground). 2x4 fixtures, 2 rows of 4 spaced 11' center to center between the 2' length of the fixture and...

Sorry, the pics are blurry. I'll try to get clearer ones.

And the T8...
