    New from SW Florida. Insulating and cooling?

    I'm a little surprised that meets south FL building codes. But, apparently it's been working. The wood floor will make it a little harder to work on vehicles but still doable. I'd put R13 batts in the walls and then cover everything with 1 inch rigid insulation sheets. Then, cover that...

    Anyone went from Red to Yellow and regretted it?

    I think it's likely that certain tools Milwaukee does better and some Dewalt does better. However, I don't want two battery brands so it's 100% Milwaukee for me. Both make good tools so go with whatever you prefer. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted...

    Finding leak in new black iron pipe run

    When I built my current house, I installed the propane lines. I pressure tested at 20PSI. I shut off all the lines at the appliance and then pressurized it. Since I had other things to do, I left it pressurized for several days. It was winter when I tested it. It was interesting to see the...

    Where do you store your gas cans?

    I like metal NATO cans for fuel storage. Wavian/Valpro brand only. I have 14 for gas and 5 for diesel. I store 12 gas cans in a large metal Job Box and 4 diesel cans and several propane bottles in a little smaller Job Box. I keep 2 gas cans and 1 diesel can out for use and have a rotation plan...

    Husky versus Kobalt for wrenches and sockets

    I carry basic tools. I carry a few more tools in my Jeep because we take back roads and some are pretty rough. I've had to fix small things with my tools and I have helped a lot of people with minor repairs roadside to get them back on the road. I like helping people and the look of relief on...

    6 & 12 point sockets

    I use 6 point sockets whenever possible. Occasionally I have to deal with 12 point bolts so while you can use 12 point sockets with 6 point bolts, you can't use 6 point sockets with a 12 point bolt. 12 point sockets can sometimes be easier to tighten or loosen a bolt or nut in a tight spot...

    Capture Propane Exhaust Humidity

    That was quick. No one was being offensive. Everyone is just pointing out proper and, most importantly, SAFE solutions. There is no good way to safely do what you want. Sorry….just the way it is. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be...

    Capture Propane Exhaust Humidity

    Install a vented heater in your garage and heat the whole thing. Turn the garage into part of your living space. Put a small electric heater or two inside the camper to make it the temp you want. What you are doing now is potentially dangerous. Hope you have several CO detectors. Nothing...

    Calculating break even cutoff point for heat pump to natural gas furnace

    I love my dual fuel heat pump/propane furnace. I live rural and not a chance natural gas will come to me. That said, if I had natural gas I would not have a dual fuel system. Meter costs are expensive in this area so if you have natural gas you need to run everything possible on natural...

    Vacuum coolant fill

    But if you had one, you would love it. So, get out of the stone ages and come join the rest of us. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be of a political nature.

    Vacuum coolant fill

    I changed and filled coolant for years without one. Bought one and now I almost wonder how I got along without one. One of the handiest tools I own. My air powered vacuum brake bleeder/suction tool is also a fantastic and super handy tool. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood...

    In my Home Depot store, that same set is $33. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be of a political nature.

    Exhaust Freezing

    I agree with this solution. That looks like a pellet stove install. There is no way that will ever work when it’s really cold. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be of a political nature.

    Big Maxx heater on a shelf

    I like this suggestion. Also get it to the edge as close as you can. Nothing in this post should be misunderstood, interpreted, misinterpreted, or construed to be of a political nature.

    Hvac tech wanted a service charge for warranty work?

    People want to make money but also complain when others want to make money. Can’t do it yourself? It’s gonna cost you. That’s why I do so much myself. There are also a lot of expenses business owners have most people don’t think about. That drive to your house? Yep you need to pay something for...

    Wrench set wanted

    I’m wondering if these are being closed out in favor of the 90T ones. I can get a 90T 8mm but not this same one. Either way, they seem to be just as good as my other Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches. I was able to squeeze them all in to the metric and SAE drawers but did have to move around a few...

    Wrench set wanted

    Thanks for this heads up. I picked up this set at Napa today. Regularly around $120 or so. Still have to get a 8mm and it has more wrenches than I need but this will be cheaper than buying all the individual wrenches separately. For anyone interested, in my Napa store it said this sale price...

    What do you use your tools on

    I love tools. Always looking to buy more although I buy a lot fewer than I used to because I have almost everything I could possibly want or need. When I was a kid...maybe 13-14 yrs old, I got a Craftsman 1/4 and a 3/8 socket set for either Christmas or birthday. Out of all the gifts I got as...

    Hvac tech wanted a service charge for warranty work?

    About 11-12 years ago we lived in a house we built and it had a Goodman heat pump system. I was out of state at the time and my wife called me to tell me the AC wasn't working. I had her call a HVAC company and they came out and found a bad capacitor. At the time, Goodman had a 10 year...
