    camera security system?

    I recently bought a day/night color 4 camera PC-based DVR system for my office. It comes with siamesed power/video cables. I got 3 outdoor IR LED lights that see about 40-50 ft in the dark and 1 indoor dome camera (also IR LED). I record video straight to the hard-drive. I use logmein.com to...

    Unusual garage Lift placement questions - with Diagram

    One way to see is to take a stud finder and locate several drywall screws and mark them with pencil marks. You will eventually get the idea of how the joists are running. Another way is to make a small hole in the drywall to see. A look at your house plans would be even easier. My garage also...

    Made In China sticker on my new Bendpak lift

    If you were talking about the lift failure documented by corvetteforum user 69L71 who had his '69 and '96 Corvettes damaged by a collapsed 4-post lift (he posted it in the C3 forum), it was a Gemini Perfect Park 7000, NOT a ProPark. Direct Lift, which makes Pro-Park, is Rotary's chinese lift...

    Air Conditioning Bid??????????

    For what it's worth, if RickAirMedic and HVAC Phil lived near enough to me, I'd have them do my install, without a doubt. From the threads/posts I have read from both of them, they are very knowledgeable and stand-up types of guys. They are the type of contractor I wish I could have found and...

    Air Conditioning Bid??????????

    Sorry for the drawn out post earlier, I just wanted you to hear the opinion of a fellow South Florida homeowner who was in your position and chose a different route. Back to the pricing, I removed my old 4 ton condenser + air handler myself and placed the new 4 ton condenser in place of the...

    Air Conditioning Bid??????????

    To the O.P.: I was in your position for a 4 ton heat pump split system in South Florida last year. Went with an online vendor, saved money on the equipment, but got screwed on the install job (overpriced and terrible craftsmanship (think high ESP due to bent flex duct, HPS shut condenser off...

    Sealing up the A/C Holes on flex ducting joints...

    The only other thing I can think of besides changing out the entire run of flex duct is to use a sheet-metal reducer like the one sold on this site for $7.50 + shipping - CLICK HERE. Use some Panduits (brand of huge 36"-48"+ zip-ties) to attach the flex duct to the reducer. Then wrap around with...

    Workshop A/C - Mini Split or Full Size?

    I'd go with budgetheating.com. Just bought a 1.5 ton Goodman heat pump split system from them last week to replace an old 10 SEER Bryant R-22 system I have in the house. They are local (Tampa), so I picked it up, but they were still cheaper with shipping than Acwholesalers.com. I had bought a 4...
