I've asked for a GM Spare Tire lowering tool, since the used truck I bought a year and a half ago didn't have one. That should be under $50 at a salvage.

Probably to keep the dust or whatever is in the air from building up in the fan. When the fan is full of dust/debris, it's not going to move air very well. Replacing a filter (or cleaning one) is easier and faster than cleaning the whole fan. ...And of course, depending on what is in the air...

I have heard, and am sure most others have also heard, that if you can make a living doing what you LOVE, you'll live a life of happiness. That said, I did the college thing, got an IT degree, got a job at a large corporation. For a 23 year old out of college, I couldn't have asked for much...

I'll have to go back to the building services office and ask. They told me a non-perm structure like a shed doesn't require a permit if it's under 200 sq ft. I did plan on digging a trench and running water supply, electrical, and possibly gas supply line to this building as well, which they...

Tim The Tool Man: Please come organize my garage! I'll pay in beer. Didn't mean to hijack the thread. A practicality thought.... I know sharp bends (such as right angles) is commonly considered in fluid dynamics for things such as efficiency of air-intake for car engines, HVAC ducting and...

Oops... so here's the intro forum. I'll try to make it short & sweet: I work in IT Live in OK I'm a nerd I like to make beer I'm DIYer sometimes to a fault (reinventing the wheel, sometimes for fun) On my second marriage, this one's far better than the last I hope I learn as well as teach here...

I couldn't find the introductions forum, so I guess I'll test post here. I was unable to specify an avatar. Wondering if I have to make a post first. Thanks, Nic
