You may be right about stability with the shoulder (cone) of the bell, but that would be a negligible gain, the reason to have the bell at the bottom is for spreading the bearing load over more surface area so that the pier does not tip over: But for a shed you will be fine without the bell...

Just got plenum and return ducting made for me today. It cost $300 and it was a local company. I just have to put it in! Pics to come.

Option A: More time and money but done right first. Plus you get to play with a bit of earth moving equipment.

I would second the T8 recommendation they are pretty nice. It is always nice to have a well lit work space but you might not always need it bright in there while not working. What about running the center strip on one switch and the two outside strips on another switch. You can also alternate...

Oh man, that quote was $975 ouch... Today I went to a local plumbing and heating contractor with in house sheet metal shop and they said it should be easy and start around $300. A definite plus is that they said the currently their metal shop is slow and soon to pick up, so they seem more...

Sent the measurements in photos to tin basher, waiting to hear back on quote.

Thank you!

No space between the coils and blower, I checked the furnace info and it says that one can mount in the return or supply vents. I will tell the tin basher to accommodate for one. Yeah the furnace comes with a filter frame designed for the unit.

Nice, thanks guys for the info and encouragement. Today I was in the city near me and I stopped into the big HVAC Plumbing jobber and talked to the salesman about getting the return air and plenum, he did not know much but pulled the guy from out of the back. The guy that comes out has got tats...

I see your point Highbeam but I fail to see how I would be higher risk, I am being proactive, I am making sure that the old equipment is removed, I am relatively informed in what I need him to do, but in the end I am still a customer just like any other. I pay the bill so you have to satisfy me...

Ohmthis, no he is not connecting any AC, I don't currently have any, but I would like the HVAC guy to leave enough room in the plenum for the evaporator if I ever decide to get AC. The furnace instructions state to elevate the furnace 1 to 2 inches off the floor, what do you mean by insulator...

I am replacing my oil furnace currently and going electric forced air. I only need the furnace when not heating with the wood stove when I go away. I dont have access to natural gas and electric was supposed to be cheaper equipment cost than LP. My neighbour is an electrician and he has sold me...

LOL! Make sure to switch the DEXCOOL while your at your de-chev engineering!

I removed a brick chimney and fireplace mantle from my house, sealed off the opening, and hauled off the debris. The truck made short work of er. The vids my brother took are hilarious. Also replaced the tailgate on my 4runner, including swapping over all wiring and motor, and installed the...

Are you getting proper voltage output? I picked up an old buzzbox (fourney) on kijiji for $50 but could not get it to strike an arc for the life of me, I checked out the power input connection at the switch and somebody had wired it wrong, it was only getting 120v input instead of 240v. I...
