    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    We have a Craftsman Pro 27 gallon Vertical at work that has held up well. But I may want to take this back and forth to camp, and they have a horizontal 25 gallon for the same price. Anyone prefer one or the other?

    Jig saws - cordless versus cordless?

    Gotta buy a new jig saw. I see cordless models of up to 20V are available and popular - and kinda pricy. Seems like the corded ones would be more powerful and not a big inconvenience. But they are priced $35 to $150. I want a solid homeowner model.

    good quality homeowner wheelbarrow

    I bought a two wheeled model, 8 cu ft. The wheels are spaced out to the edge of the bucket. Much more stable and doesn't sink in on soft ground. Been filling it with firewood. http://www.amestruetemper.com/products/detail.aspx?ProductId=1082&FamilyId=856&LineId=31

    Wireless control for Rinnai wall furnace?

    I don't mean to replace it in that position.... Also, this is upstairs of the garage, so "not garage."

    Wireless control for Rinnai wall furnace?

    You've given me an idea. We have to replace the garage heater, and old Modine unit up by the ceiling. It looks about like this. Think I'll see about putting this Rinnai up there and putting the newer model in the house.

    Wireless control for Rinnai wall furnace?

    The unit we have is a RHFE-1001FA/VA-P. Tried the Wemo switch - it works! My wife is going up Friday so that will be our first use.

    Wireless control for Rinnai wall furnace?

    Does Rinnai make any other model with provision for an external thermostat? I love the unit otherwise. It was able to keep the entire house (which is only 1250sf) warm at -10 F by itself.

    Wireless control for Rinnai wall furnace?

    I only need to turn it on, not off. Once we get there and fire up the wood stove we usually shut it off anyway. Wemo came this morning, should be able to hook it up Friday.

    Not related but what is the covering you have over the door - insulation? Sealer?

    Quality control like this cost us the import wars

    No, they've all rusted away..... :lol: From late 60's to about 1985 was a terrible time for cars. Manufacturers were devoting up to half their engineering effort to safety requirements and emissions controls. First thing Vermont Sportscar does with their Subaru rally cars is weld every seam......

    Garage door opener recommendations

    We just replaced two 30yo Chamberlin/Craftsman openers with Liftmaster 8550 belt drives. Much quieter and take a little less time to open: about 15 seconds. We bought the internet link to be able to control them remotely. In 2006 or 2007 they changed the HomeLink code to 2.0. It is...

    Wireless control for Rinnai wall furnace?

    Looks like the ES38 but I'm not there. I have a solution to try. I'll adjust the internal thermostat for around 70 F. In the meantime I purchased a Belkin Wemo switch. This switch can be turned on and off remotely with a smartphone app if you have Wifi (we do). It's still pretty new and some...

    Wireless control for Rinnai wall furnace?

    We have a 36,000 BTU wall furnace at our place in NH. It does not have an external thermostat. Depending on season, we shut it off or turn it way down. We have Internet there. Is there any way we could control this remotely? Presumably we could get a wireless on/off switch, but would like to...

    Lithium Emergency Start Battery

    I've had one for almost a year, jump started many cars. We have a Clore JNC1700 but seldom use it as the MicroStart is so handy. My wife keeps it in her center console. Absolutely terrific piece of gear.

    Does the tractor count too, or just the brush cutter? Kubota L3200.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Put a layer of plastic over it before you pick them up. Makes it easier to peel them off.
