Hello HVAC PHIL..The guy who did the duck work was layed off from Litton Systems ,the original contractor for the guidance system on the cruise missile.He was a sheet metal worker who did all their ventilation ductwork in a large plant operation.I think I was lucky to have him and yes he did the...

I knowyou must turn and hold down but when I do that there is no gas coming out of the tube.I dont think the tube is blocked but I have thought of detaching it from the valve and then seeing if gas come directly out of the valve.........thanks Kirk

I have a keeprite furnace with a Honeywell v82000 gas valve.When i try to light the pilot light Iam not getting any gas through the oriface.As far as I know when you turn the red button to the "light pilot position"it bypasses the gas valve to light the pilot while the thermocupuler has time to...

Im no expert but I can tell you that in Canada there are no more 80% furnaces.At least none can be manufactuered or imported.One HVAC supplier told me there are no mid efficiencies around.As far as I know the US.is going the same way check and find out the date I think its next year sometime.I...

Im thinking that a machine shop in your garage is somewhere that you can machine engine parts,which is probably cost prohibitive and impractical for the average garage owner.Unless there are machines out there that you can aquire cheaply.But I think engine tear down and assembly is something...

Moonrise and Rogsmart,I am sure there are even more than three H.Depots around here.I didnt know the fir of today is different from 50 years ago. Are the Chinese making fir trees now?Pls advize Im just curious. The garage is 20x20 and I think well built in my humble opinion,however it was...

Csp what about tong (sp?) and grove siding then? thanks Kirk

Thanks but Im thinking of going with non pt because I want to use steel brackets and wood screws to connect studs to plate.If sills are painted and well off ground I think it will be ok, also they are covered by siding.I dont want to raise garage high enough to nail or screw from bottom.I will...

thanks Bczygan ,I will look for sill seal when I go out today.At the risk of sounding uninformed whats Wolm?....................also was wondering how your cleanup and organizing is going?......Kirk

I wonder if there has been any damage or injury from not using the proper hardware with PT.Im not in a hurricane zone but If I were I might be wondering.I was in Lowes a couple of days ago and I had PT.2x4s in the cart.The Lowes guy was showing me regular wood screws and didn,t seem to notice...

I am leveling the garage with concrete blocks. I know its not the best foundation but at this time and winter coming on, it will have to do.I am wondering if I should but something between the block and bottom of sill plate to stop moisture from comeing through the concrete block......thanks Kirk

hmmm? so are you saying that you put hardener in both?

What I am doing is replacing rotted out sill plate 2x4,s on an old garage.I was going to replace with 2x4 pressure treated. I have already bought wood for this purpose.I was going to bracket up to the studs which are not PT.The brackets are steel (non galvanized).I think at this point I should...

You dont put hardener in the base coat only the clear.Base coats I have seen dry in minutes at room temp.I dont think you can blend a finish very well with spray bomb.More so the older the paint or vehicle is.There is car paint forum out there somewhere.....You could probably buy a small...

First off I would like to say that I somewhat agree with Dirttracker.(this is over my head ,at least the terminology is and no pun intended)As I type this I am watching 1000 ways to die and I hope I dont see this roof on a future episode LOL. ..Just kidding no offence!..............If I just...
