    F you purolator

    I had a Fram filter blow out in my 04' F150 and sent filter parts through the heads and block. After a few months of work and new cam phasers I finally cleared all the debris out and got it running correctly again.

    DVR Security Camera Systems?

    This may be helpful: I recently installed a 4 camera system for our home from an online kit (CCTV Security Pros). I did a lot of research and the customer support from these guys really seamed to be top notch. As it turns out, I've used them a few times for help and have been very happy. My...

    Can't Get Anyone to Follow Thru With A Quote

    Keep looking. Try contacting home builders. They usually do smaller side projects and they are typically a little more reliable.

    Oh, one more thing. I'm in the pike/495 area (Metro West). Give Mark at Leader garage door a call. They travel and were a pleasure to deal with.

    High Lift Tracks and liftmaster 3800

    I just finished our custom home a few months ago and went through the exact same scenario you are in! We have three bays / three standard doors. I went with Haas 700 series doors, windows in the upper panels, and three 3800's with high lifts for all of them. Price installed was $4,350 for...

    Update for those of you who may use this thread as future research: After the repair man said it functioned as designed and the vibrations were not out of the ordinary we purchased some vibration reduction feet for the washer and a matching pair for the dryer. The feet helped the washer...

    Repeating the Plea: BUY (North) AMERICAN!

    Unfortunately as much as I agree with this approach it's a symptom and won't save the ship. The foundation must first be fixed. Here are the two inviolable pillars upon which any true reform of our economic system must rest. We need to remove the leverage growth from the system. Pillar #1: End...

    Washer shaking on 2nd floor - Need suggestions

    Re: Washer shanking on 2nd floor - Need suggestions Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try a 1/2 pad and see if that will improve the problem. Hanging it is an interesting idea but that's out unfortunately. Returning it is the last option unfortunately. Internet purchase after shopping around...

    Jobs that snowball into a disaster...

    Hey, I can relate. Ford 5.4 - Cam Phasers: Replaced the cam sensors and VCT solenoids. Truck still shook like a diesel at idle when it was warm. I went to replace the drivers side cam phaser using a timing wedge tool (3-4hr job) and the timing wedge broke off in the front cover (defective...

    Building a custom house right now and went with Harvey. Good quality & good price for what I'm looking for. If you are going with Anderson stay away from the 200 line.

    wood floor?

    If you are putting decking down I assume you have 2x10 or 2x12 joists at 16" OC. Just want to confirm you're not putting this directly on dirt. My suggestion if you HAVE to put down T&G plywood: 1/2" HardiBacker with a thin coat of self leveling concrete mix over it. You'll be about 1 3/8"...

    Gas company wont let me rough in for future shop

    Pipe is cheap and we already have the excavator on site. Ripping up a driveway and repaving it is expensive. It's much easier to do before the driveway goes in.

    Gas company wont let me rough in for future shop

    Exactly. We have a 120'+ driveway and I already know exactly where the shop is going. The shop bays will face the side of the house 3 bays. I'm already planning on running more conduit in addition to the needed lines. I'm thinking of possibly running an air line from the shop back to the...

    Gas company wont let me rough in for future shop

    Thanks guys. Good idea. It will be ran under a driveway so I'll definitely want to run to the future site. Keeping site pipe disconnected from the source sounds like it should work.
