Hi, I bought my house this past March. It has a 20.5' x 20' framed, non insulated garage. The garage doesn't have an entry to the house, though it is attached. The wall connecting it to the house is drywalled. I would like to finish the rest and install a hung, natural gas heater. There...

I didn't fight too hard about ripping up the vinyl because I felt it was a good moisture barrier, not sure of any other added benefit of going to the sub floor then laying an equally pliable covering down. We pulled all of the moldings before we laid any flooring. We also used correct spacers...

I offered to purchase the flooring for her. This wood she got is mixed of all colors. I'm not sure they sell packages like this? She doesn't have much money, hardly makes it by, which is why I offered to buy but shes being stubborn unfortunately. I questioned taking up the vinyl. I was...

We have a table saw. Its out dated and difficult to use. I would hate to try and use it for cutting the tongues. Supposedly someone might have a router but I'm running out of time and her mom is bailing on Menards in favor of her friend who is also helping and might have a router... but he...

Thank you for the responses guys! Sadly I don't have much control over this project anymore. It is sounding like they are going to half-@ss it and put pieces end to end. :-( I said I would buy the flooring or the tool, but her mom is being stubborn. Hopefully if I'm persistent enough it will...

I'm putting down real hardwood floor for my lady's mom. All of the wood is "seconds" that she got for free. We have the majority of it down. However, we have a small space left to go and have only end pieces left. What is the tool I need to cut the mating ends? We've heard the term "biscuit...

I would prefer pine sol over mold smell any day!

I am purely price shopping. I was turned onto these appliances tonight by a co-worker and am seeking knowledge, which I've received a great load of! Thank you everyone. I've contemplated keeping this home as a rental when I move out. We'll see how I feel when we get to that point. ;) I am...

Based off some quick research, I'm hoping the dirty sock syndrome is inherent to design of some brand's units. I guess this is a significant con. Are you planning on keeping these units? What was your solution to the issue? Thanks again! Hi ****, We are about 4 miles inland. I would say...

Where are you about in the state? This is good information! I went through the Lennox site for their suggestions. I don't always trust the site, and I'm happy you've made some suggestions for me. Being so young and technology oriented, the wifi features has a great appeal to me! Thank you again!

Thank you Panz! I'm going to research the air to air options first. I have a .25 acre lot in the city. I don't believe I can do a closed loop system and don't have good resources for an open loop system. I did see on WaterFurnace's website they mention doing vertical close loop systems, but I...

Thank you for the input! I'm in the city, and the only way I have to dispose of water is city drainage. Is city water a pro or a con here? Due diligence is key! Due to living in the city, I think that geothermal is going to be very hard for me to run. I'll likely have to do atmospheric...

What brand are your pumps? What was your efficiency increase? Would you suggest these products to someone else?

I'm in Holland, MI. :) We have full gas.

Hi Everyone, My home has 20 year old AC, heat, and hot water. I'd like to replace these utilities soon. I was told tonight about heat pumps. I understand how they work, but I'm looking for some education and suggestions. I was pointed towards Lennox? I plan to do a lot of research before...

Problem is not in the breaker box. Going to wait and pick up the meter. Only other thought is to start swapping duplexes with a known good from another location... silly to do that. I will just wait. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk

I know, I know. That will take a few hours... may e I will worry about it in a few days if I can't stumble upon it today. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk

Hi, Our kitchen circuit currently has no electrons flowing. Was hoping to brainstorm as to what of could be. DMM is at the other house... :-( 1970's home with no GFI. Bought and installed new breaker. Going to inspect duplexes for shorts... Also, going to swap breakers in the box in case...

^^Nice! I've contemplated selling my lifted WK for something with two solid axles. Not so sure it will ever happen, but a fun thought.
