I’ve seen more than a few blow and had a few blow on me while working in the shop. It’s no joke. Had a LIPO blow up in one of my RC airplanes. Long story short. Plane went up in flames like it was shot down by a missle. The field I was flying in caught on fire. Fire truck came. $600+ up in...

Ever since I bought my current house 3 years ago. I’ve been trying to figure out how and why someone would put boards down like this. Wtf. Makes my life a pain. Always pulling up nails. They are out to kill us. My whole deck, approximately 950 square feet is done like this. Nails and screws...

Anyone good with envisioning a simple plan for me? I want to make my walkout patio area more usable and Keep cost at a minimum. I'd like to bring some stairs off the deck down to the walkout. Future plan is a hot tub down there. I need a small retaining wall on the hill side of the walkout...

The furnace guys even told me not worth the upgrade. The old furnace did a good job of heating the house evenly. The new one seems to be even better. Nice and quiet and Better airflow out the vents. They said the repair costs on the variable speed and two stage are crazy. Even if I did the work...

Well they are replacing it. I knew it was a issue. I asked about upgrading from the base model. They want $900 extra to upgrade from a 95% silver 95 model to a 97% gold model. The upgraded model has variable speed motor and a couple other things. Is it worth it? $900 seems a lot. I can't find...

Well second hvac tech came out and looked. He said crack is fatal. Recommended furnace replacement. He saw the short cycling thing it does also. And humidifier is inop. Guy knew what he was talking about and was honest. That's the big thing. He will call the home warranty company and tell them...

I got an email back from Heil. I sent them the pics I took. They replied saying that it should be replaced. So we will see what the 2nd service guy says tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is he pics I took just now. I'm not sure if it's ok or not? Looks to be on the outside mostly. I got a mirror out and looked around but could not see much. If it's safe that's fine. If not I'd like to know for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm finishing up my free trailer project. Scored the trailer for free out of a house getting torn down. 5.5x8 tilt bed trailer. Put tires and new lights/wiring on it and built the sides to make it a little more useable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It has 1" clearance from the ceiling. Hard to tell from the pic. The factory brackets are exactly 1". Works perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got my heater all hooked up. Easy install. Did it all my self. Works great!! Nice and quiet. I got the 50,000 btu unit. Still need to flip the sticker since I mounted it inverted to make the gas and venting have more area to work with. Used 4" B vent straight up through the roof...

We run a mix of Dewalt and Milwaukee at my work. A mix of impacts and drivers and drills of all sorts. Use them all day. Our whole department uses them. Literally probably a 1000 different tools of both brands. Both have been super reliable. I prefer the Milwaukee stuff. Seems to be more...

Just got my 50,000 BTU from menards. Had to order and pick up in store. Now to get it installed.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Electric is not efficient for me. But it works for now. I'm hoping to get my gas lines ran real soon and buy a Modine or similar 45,000 BTU gas heater. I only run the electric heater when I'm working. But the gas I'll set at 45 or so all the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
