Looks like you need to do a little sanding before priming.

here is a fuel calculator, just plug in the numbers. http://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/articles/fuel_cost_comparison_calculator/ I have heated my house with wood the last couple of years. I purchased a Harman P68 this year, still plan on heating with wood, pellet stove is more for the...

Just curious, is it allowed?

A freezer is only around 0*, it usually gets much colder than that in MN in the winter. I live in northern MN and a minus 30* is not uncommon for at least a few days a year.

When I lived in the cities, I hit the gas line, it was only about 6 inches down. Turned out when they ran the line they hit large root from an oak tree. Instead of going around it or cutting through it they just went over it. I did not have to pay for the repair, thankfully.

Here is a fuel calculator. I heat with wood, I purchase my wood a grapple load at a time (10 cords) then have to cut and split myself. I pay $70 a cord for red and white oak and maybe some ash. I have electric baseboard heat and at .15 cents a kWh it is just to expensive to use for heat. I...

Here is an online calculator to show you the cost of using different fuels. http://pelletheat.org/pellets/compare-fuel-costs/ The prices in the chart are already there, prices vary greatly depending on the region of the country you are located in. Just change the price and it will recalculate...

1+ Yep, here they leave it up to the insurance companies as it should be. It is all about risk. I have a wood furnace, when I purchased the house the insurance agent came out to inspect it, and took pictures. I had to put some tin up on the ceiling the previous owner had taken down for what...

Illegal? Not in MN, at least not in my area; that being said some insurance companies may choose not to cover you. But that is another issue. Here is a good online fuel comparison chart that allows you to factor in fuel cost and efficiency rates of the appliance...

not **** or toys, as my dad finally convinced my wife, they are "labor saving devices". My wife now refers to all my tools as labor saving devices. I can honestly say that what I have spent on tools I have easily saved much more. Maybe not all tools purchased paid for themselfs, but the ones...

469 for the 45k and 494 for the 75k at northern. Those are US prices, the Canadians have to pay more, just because. :headscrat http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/category_heaters-stoves-fireplaces+natural-gas

Not sure what good a pan would do with a burst water heater, it would overflow in no time. That is if it is even draining into the pan. The only benefit I can see for having a pan under the heater is if the drain valve or pressure relief valves leaks a little. But then again it will only buy...

Yep, I did the same thing. I just took a hack saw and cut it off and put the plug back in. The water heater was only about six months old when the water started to smell. I got 22 years out of a water heater back when I was on city water. Never once replace the anode rod and rarely drained it...

you should have a vapor barrier, either paper or plastic sheathing is fine. I prefer the plastic. Vapor barrier on the warm side. :)

I can't comment on the other but I really like my makita with the 18 volt Lithium battery. Before I purchased it I did do some research and at the time it was a top performer. Go to the store and pick a few up, see which feel "right" in your hand. As already stated weigh what you are going to...

I can't answer your question, but have you checked into spray foam. I would think for that application it would be your best bet.

I don't know if that is even an option. There are times it would be nice to have it off; like sitting around the fire. I may have to call and find out. I kind of doubt it.

Yep, just six bucks a month. They do all the maintenance, light burns out they replace it, photo eye goes out they replace it, ballast goes bad, ya you guessed it, they replace it. Before I had it installed, I asked what the cost for electricity would be if I installed my own, the guy said...

OOPS Your right,:o

I have a nickel metal hydrate that the electric company put up. It is a 100 watt comes on at dark goes off at dawn. I pay a flat fee to electric company of $6 a month. It does not go through the meter. May want to check out if your electric company does something similar.
