Sorry, 2x6 walls with sheathing Metal screwed to sheathing Vs 2x4 wall sheathing with 2x4 perlins

I figured that up, with current prices it’s only a hundred bucks difference between building it with 12’ 2x6 vs the way o explained

If you have a conventional hvac system then you can use a ERV energy recovery ventilation system. When your blower on your furnace is on it ***** in air from outside and blends with conditioned air and exhaust stale air from building. they work great, I have installed them in businesses and...

I’m going to start framing my garage when lumber drops a little more. I’m wanting to use pole barn metal for the siding with conventional framing. The best thing I can come up with is to build my exterior walls with 12’ 2x4s, sheet with osb or plywood, then wrap that with house wrap. Then...

Just hang the furnace horizontally at the ceiling and run pvc vent thru the side wall. Won't take up any floor space. As far as the condensate drain goes, pipe it to a sink or floor drain. The one in the shop at work is piped to a 8 gallon bucket that gets dumped twice a week. Not the most...

I run black iron pipe at least once a week at work for the last 22 years. Steam boilers, hot water heat, air lines etc. never had a problem with it. We do only buy domestic pipe though. Never used import.

Every time I see that stuff on a jobsite it's never done right. Nobody ever has the outside jacket under the fitting. They always have the yellow jacket a inch back. The jacket is there to contain a gas leak. Also I would even use that pipe, it's too easy to poke a hole in. I found a roofing...

And there is nothing wrong with the flex chimney liner. That is common practice when running a new line up through a old brick or block chimney. Not many chimneys out there can you get b vent down. The flex chimney liners are made for that.

You either have a plugged chimney or something in your house is causing a negative pressure on your house or utility room. Second look, looks like this is a basement. A range hood without proper make up air can do this or a return air from your furnace if it's in the same room as water heater...

I wouldn’t put one by the lake, but they work great for a garage or shop. Does the same thing as a large system. Just smaller. Solids stay in tank and get broke down by the bacteria and liquid soaks in the ground. Doesn’t get much more environmentally friendly then that. The septic systems I...

55 gallon plastic drum, 12’ of chambers with end caps and your done. 100 bucks. I did this for my wood shop 15 years ago, the kids use that bathroom every day and never had a problem. I also did this for my new garage. The old timers did it this way but used **** to **** clay tile. I still come...

We never put more then 125 degree water into concrete slab. 180 for wood floors. If you have a out door rest hooked up it will adjust your out put temp accordingly.

The z 63 has a improved switch and longer warranty now.

Are you closing off all but one loop at a time when purging? We use a 1 hp shallow well pump and a 75 gallon horse tank at work to get all the air out. Need to push slot of water in hurry.

Those prices are crazy!! I have started my 26x44 12ft wall detached garage recently. I'm in 3900 bucks so far. That has gotten me, my footings and stem wall 3ft down to frost line, 2in foam board around perimeter to frost line, 26 ton 1in rock graded in the middle for my slab to set on. My full...

Ok, the o p said 1.25in line. Big difference

Why such a big gas line? That's a ton of btus at 125ft

We always use 6in wire mesh to tie the apex down to. It helps to keep things nice and straight. Take a ton of pictures when your done with a tape measure stretched out. I just had to look up pictures from a job we did 15 years ago because a guy was wanting to add some walls in his basement...

Thanks for all the comments. If I do go furnace then I would run the duct at the ceiling and pull the return air at floor level. I'm thinking 95 percent 2 stage heat. I have my frost walls done with 2in foam down to the frost line. I just compacted the 1in rock tonight. I think I will at...

Your fine, the floor with radiant won't get hot enough to melt a wax ring. The incoming water for concrete shouldn't be over 125 degrees. The floor will never get that hot. Even if it did that s not hot enough to melt wax
