    torpedo heater flames out?

    I'm betting its overheating and the snap switch is tripping killing the flame.

    Carpet or hardwood?

    Hardwood is cold. We're currently planning to demo our existing house and rebuild this year. Carpet for the bedrooms, livving room, and hallways, hardwood for the kitchen & dining room. Tile for the bathrooms is what we are doing.

    Small Welding Project

    If you're not good at using not just any MIG, but that one in particular, don't start by trying it out on those headers. 16ga sheet metal that they are probably made out of is very easy to blow thru with a cheap welder and no experience.. Can it be done? Of course, but attempt that as your first...

    Tankless Water heaters, yeah or nah?

    Wow, not sure where you guys buy your water heaters but you're getting screwed. I bought a Bosch on demand propane water heater. Smaller one, we only have one bathroom.

    Full shop air line routing question

    I plumbed my 24x34 shop with 3/4" galvanized. It's funny how people mention how much galvanized will that with water, then in the next breath say how you have to install some massive contraption to remove the water from just before the main line.
