    Hi James, Thank you for your suggestion but down here in Texas air conditioning is more important than heating (noticed you're in Wisconsin). After consulting with my HVAC guy I've decided to go with a conventional forced air split unit. Best Regards

    Thru the Wall AC unit

I was pricing Friedrich 18k and 24k thru the wall units, on the internet, and found that they were expensive (over $1k).

    Drum shop fans

    SS, thanks for the suggestion. I will look them up. CNG, I have been looking in CL, so far I've found one that reasonably. I will be looking at it this week. Most of the time they want too much $ and not willing to negotiate. Thanks

    Hello from Houston

    Ever since I can remember I've wanted a house with enough land to build a shop/garage/storage building to accomodate my cars. Late last year we sold our house of 21 years and are now renting an apartment while looking for a new house. The problem is we can't agree on a house. I am renting three...
