As most have already suggested, insulate the cieling, garage door and walls. You mentioned an attic/storage space above your garage, have you noticed any ventilation in the attic? If not, you will most definiteltly benifit from the addition of both eve and roof or gable vents (or even better an...

What you're describing is known as a concentric pipe. These are primarily used exactly as you described - one roof penetration that allows for both air intake and exhaust ventilation. Hope this helps, Pete

You have a P.M. regaurding the wheel lock kit.

Snap On TM835 all the way! I've owned mine for the last 10+ years and it still is as great a performing tool as it was when new. Also, I second the statement about ease of changing directions one handed (or should I say single digited :thumbup: ).

That's exactly my point - If I were looking to buy from this seller, first thing I chack is their feedback. His still shows 100%, meaning I would do buisiness with him (that is if I hadn't seen this thread - thank you for posting). With out negative feedback, the next guy will unknowingly buy...

I just checked his current listings and don't see the Armstrong 5/8" - 11/16. However, I did check his feedback (100% by the way) and didn't see any feedback listed for the Armstrong wrench - what gives? Is it possible for a seller to filter out bad feedback - or was none left?

A package system is an all in one unit - meaning everything is contained in one case. These are most commonly used in commercial applications on roof tops, the smaller units however can be used in residential applications. They are no longer very popular for suburban residential use due to their...

Are you referring to a ductless mini split? If you are, they are quite effective at cooling spaces that are open (no walls or dividers) and have a decent amount of insulation. You could get by with a 1 to 1 1/2 ton capacity system (12,000 to 18,000 BTU's) if the garage has insulation in the...

I would use nothing more than a 100 Va 120 Volt to 24 Volt transformer, and a 1 pole 20 Amp 24 volt coil contactor to control the blower. From your switched service disconnect run 110V to the line side of the contactor, you can also land the transformer line (120V) feed on the line side...

I am an HVAC contractor, and can't praise nor criticize this particular brand of equipment as I am unfamiliar with this manufacturer. I will say that I have installed, maintained and worked on MANY of the ductless mini splits and you DEFINITELY get what you pay for. Most of the lower end units I...

As a HVAC mechanical contractor with over a dozen years experience, I thought that I would put in my .02. Backpressure - Not something to worry about UNLESS there is too much - i.e. not enough air movement. This can happen many ways - Fan spinning too slow, restriction on the inlet side of the...

Thanks for checking. Soooo, the search continues......

The breaker bar arrived today, it's in better shape than I had expected! Thanks again, Pete

That would be great, if you have one let me know. Yet another tool I don't have and never knew I needed until now! :lol_hitti If the socket is 0.875", then I'll have to pass as that's the hieght of the new socket that I already have. The socket I'm looking for should be a full 1" in hieght.

Nice ratchets, the kid loss is your gain! LostHSV - Nice avatar! Are they yours? I too own a 1966 chevy C10, mine's a Panel truck - hence the screen name. Pete
