    Insulating existing recess cans in vaulted ceiling - Suggestions please?

    I have no idea what they are, they were buried behind blueboard and plaster. There is no access to them except to change the bulbs. We rarely use them and if so for just a few min. I was thinking about that expandable foam. It is time to paint the room again, so once I get the staging up...

    Insulating existing recess cans in vaulted ceiling - Suggestions please?

    Hello - We have a vaulted/cathedral ceiling in our family room built in 1986. I've taken a photo to show how we are experiencing heat loss through the can area. It is always easy to spot when there is a light snow. This has been going on since the house was new. The same thing happens on the...

    You know, I think I went through your land last year on my snowmobile . . . the house and field look familiar. Are you about 45 miles SE of Greenville?

    Dream Becomes Reality (32x40x12)

    Great size. I was going to go 30x40 but ended up 32x36 with apron pads on both ends. Welcome! .

    Hot tub chemicals

    When mine was delivered in 1998 (yep!) I had then put it on it's side. Then for three days I installed pipe insulation and wrapped thin flexible Styrofoam sheets cut in strips around the pipes. I put foil-faced foam iso- board around the frame skirts to reflect heat. For a base I used crushed...

    Penetration Oil Evaluation

    Wow, that was published a long time ago. I've been using it ever since, but mix it up just before using so the acetone sinks in instead of evaporating.

    The Big Red Barn

    Wow, that is nice! What a great space. I see lots of potential there. I'd pull those vines down right away though, and button 'er up tight so bats don't get in. The vines hold moisture which will rot the wood. I think I'd get it down the the skeleton and start w/ a blank sheet. Power wash...

    The Road to Nowhere . . .

    Thank you! That brought back a lot of fond memories of the back seat :). Mine had the same color interior, was a Model J w/ the flat wheel covers. It was this color scheme below. One like this is what it would take for me to spring these days. I have five cars now. Best Regards, and Happy...

    Plans for a 28x32 Garage Build any suggestions?

    I went with 36'w x32'd. Parking two cars deep is real nice and I'm so glad I went 32' instead of 30' I had planned. Check out my build thread in my sig. Regards, .

    Wood Frame Rotisserie??

    I made one once for the chassis when I did a body-off on a Triumph Spitfire. It worked great. Has it on large casters to wheel it in and out of the garage. The body was mounted to an industrial rolling cart. Here are some pics. Regards, .

    Suggestions please; 3 T8 fixtures trip the GFCI, but 2 don't

    Thanks for the all suggestions. A few hours ago before reading this, I removed the load center cover and temporarily hooked a single receptacle to an unused breaker and had good results. So for now (until the spring) I've bypassed the GFCI receptacle in one of the boxes and will use the...

    Suggestions please; 3 T8 fixtures trip the GFCI, but 2 don't

    In my new build I had the electrician install a 12 slot load panel. He is busy on a large job and lives almost three hours away (good friend who is licensed), so it was tough to get him out here on a weekend. We won't be doing full wiring until the spring or when the weather warms up, so I had...
