Thanks for the info. I thought there would be more to it than that. I want to take this thing completely apart to do a thorough cleaning and see how it all works. While I'm in there, I'll give the heat exchanger a really good look. The rest of the stack fell apart. The end cap was attached...

I acquired this old heater for free and would love to use it. First, a little background followed by my questions. On the sticker (pictured below), the Model says "Autocrat" and No says "73-Y". It's rated at 30000 BTU. It also says "The Auto Stove Works" on the bottom of this sticker. I'm...

Thank you for all the contributions. Between you all and some time for more research, I've got it all figured out and passed the info along to my builder.

Good tip! :dunno: Not sure how it would move fore and aft if one leg is anchored in place. Please explain in case I'm missing something. I'll take your lip idea though. Excellent. I thought of this already but didn't know how to put it succinctly, so didn't want to play phone relay with...

Since I'm about to undergo construction of a new house, I've presented the builder with my desire to eventually install a scissor lift. I'd much rather have the concrete cut and any additional accommodations all sorted out ahead of time during the build, assuming I have a specific scissor lift...

Well I'd love to find an inexpensive source of recycled/reclaimed wood. Unfortunately, the Springs is a fairly material-savvy area, so doubt I will stumble upon a cheap stack of it anywhere. I'm not giving up though. Other than that, the 1"x6"x?' pine planks laid horizontally sound like a...

This sounds interesting.

Plywood? This isn't Yahoo Answers.

Yeah, I just moved back and missed it too. I'm way north near Fox Run park, just south of Baptist Road. I am not sure so I am still looking for examples of what's floating around in my head. I just want to use wood rather than the boring sterile white stuff. This will be more of a standard...

Hello. This is my first post on this great site. I just moved into a new house in Colorado Springs. It's got a lot of character. Sort of like a modern craftsman if that makes any sense. The garage is unfinished, so it's a clean slate. I'd like to insulate and then cover with some kind of...
