    Electric vs Gas Infrared/Radiant Heaters

    http://stores.ebay.com/DWD-Components-Corp He has a 5-pack of heaters too for $919 (2 contactor panels). You'd only get the max $200 off this package with the microsoft cash back. You might be better off with 2 of the 3-packs. Then you could get 30% off each purchase. I can't believe the 30% is...

    Electric vs Gas Infrared/Radiant Heaters

    I've been running the numbers comparing electric and propane, like Stitch did a few posts back and the results are alarming. Out in the woods, we dont have natural gas, so propane is the gas of choice for home heating. Last year my last propane fillup was $3.49/gallon. I didn't get a fill up yet...

    Oil burner & Tank installation

    My father's making & using Biodiesel in his vehicles & house oil burner with great success. 80 cents a gallon plus labor. Not a bad deal, but my opinion is in a few years used cooking oil won't be free. Once you convert cooking oil to bio, you can basically use it in anything that takes heating...

    What size cable to run to shop?

    Just had my 100 amp panel ran with #3 copper. Couldn't squeeze the ground wire through 1" PVC, so we used twin ground rods at the garage instead. Just passed inspection yesterday, I'm a happy boy! I can finally roll up my long extension cord... :-)

    Getting rid of rats?

    I got mice in the house and they are driving me crazy. Victor electronic traps work well, just look for the flashing LED and dump'em out. But they get smart after some time and dont go in them anymore. I also catch them on glue traps, bag them in walmart bags and freeze them. Throw out the...

    I had the same marks from when they installed my ceiling.... I rented a floor sander from Home Depot and used the roughest "scotch brite" looking pad they had. Worked great!

    Dr V's Garage Build

    Unfortunately when i arrived home the one day, they installed the trusses and most of the outside skins already, so I didn't get any pictures of that process. The outside skins are an off "white" color with just a hint of brown. We thought it matched the color of the house the closest when...

    Problem with pour? soft surface

    I found that the course pad will actually start to polish the floor if you spend too much time in one area. When i rented the machine, i choose the black pad, which was the roughest pad they had (Home Depot). I spent enough time to remove the tire marks and clean up any dirt and quickly moved...

    Removing tire marks from concrete?

    Update : The home depot Clark floor machine worked GREAT! I ended up using the black abrasion disc and within a couple hours buzzed over my entire floor and the tire marks are gone! The rental turned out to be $37 for a day plus $7 for the disc (only needed one). $27 price quoted to me over...

    Anyone Use Rustoleum Epoxyshield In Winter Months?

    I've been tracking my floor temps with an infrared thermometer. It tends to be about 10 degrees warmer than the outside air temp with the doors open. Sun shining on it helps. The mass of it helps keep the temp pretty stable. Harbor Freight has a cheap infrared pocket thermometer for under $10...

    Removing tire marks from concrete?

    Yeah, but remember as I said in the first post, they aren't tire marks from a car, they aren't in one spot, they are everywhere. Since the floor is unsealed, the rubber will hinder the sealer application and forever be seen if sealed under. It would be different if it were tire marks on top of...
