    TERRALink Geothermal

    I have a Waterfurnace I heat my home with, basically the same geothermal technology as that, it runs off the well. I have no fuel bills, and the most my electric bill has ever been in a month is $150 and I live in Michigan, and everything I have is electric. I love it, and if I moved, would get...

    furnace installation

    I put one of these Mobile home furnaces in my garage a few years ago. I made the bottom frame out of 2x4's, figuring this is what they used in the mobile home, and had a duct box made at the local furnace shop, I have 3 ducts from the box, 1 to my office, 1 to my pump room, and 1 to the garage...

    Motorcycle storage

    Going to add on to the garage, Need Input>

    Like another poster said, go as far as you can. But, I would keep the wall up, and put a garage door on the end, in case you may want to heat it in the winter. It would make a nice work shop.

    Barn pics.

    "Plate and Bridge Specialist", my Grandpa was a dentist, and I got that door from his practice. That 70's high back chair is the most comfortable chair I've ever had, it's welded onto an old 4x4 rim for the base, works great for looking out my bay window:bounce: . Ok, I'll bore you with more...

    Barn pics.

    We built the newer part about 3 years ago, and when I was comparing prices, it was not much more than a regular construction Pole building, maybe a few hundred dollars more, very comparable. The barn is a "Branstock", located out of Chelsea, Mi., they delivered everything in kit form, so the...

    Barn pics.

    My continual work in progress. This is actually two barns put together, the shorter roof barn is the original, it had exposed particle board for the siding when we first bought the place. Me and my wife put steel siding on the original, and we built the newer part ourselves, it is a "box beam"...

    DIY Portable Air Conditioner?

    Sounds cool, let us know how it works. My window unit throws out alot of heat, so that box might get pretty hot, even with an exhaust fan.

    DIY Portable Air Conditioner?

    I don't see why this wouldn't work, but why the box? I would think a sheet metal box(like a furnace duct) just on the exhaust side, ducted outside would work.
