    Old Chicken Wire Window

    Yes “safety” glass was what I heard it called as a contractor.. even “fire glass”. When there’s a fire it stays in place and continues to act as a smoke (or flame) barrier in a fire. Secondarily in a door and before tempered glass it was “safety” glass; that way when you trip and fall into or...

    Utility Wall Cabinets

    I have used the unfinished oak, quality is fine for an inexpensive cabinet but they don’t paint up wall due to large pores in oak. Hence, I usually just clear finish; if you paint them do several coats of heavy bodied primer first and sand between and the will look good although grain will still...

    Buying a rough Challenger E10 stored outside.

    I bought my used Rotary SPOA9 (3 phase) from a guy who had it stored outside. It was marked from a Richie Brother auction, guessing he didn’t realize it was 3 phase. As such it was the cheapest name brand certified lift I found. I don’t agree with above that you will spend $1,000’s on parts, but...

It is 100,000 BTU's and as said warms it up pretty fact in Colorado. He put the thermostat...

    Ingersoll Rand 5Hp vs Quincy 5Hp Compressor

    Both are excellent. Some will prefer each. Quincy has a strong (almost cult) following, IR is industry standard in many industries. (And to confuse more I got a newer Champion 7.5HP with my recent shop purchase and am completely happy)

    Tall Gambrel barn chimney

    I have never seen "side vent" oil burner nor wood burner. Both would likley soot up the exterior wall. But I get not wanting 35' of flue, might even require more maintenace as flue gas cools and deposits materail on the walls of the flue. I like the concept of both (have heated with wood and...
