    CFM calculation given pressure and orifice diameter?

    This site has a calculator. You need to know opening length also. I used your numbers and 1ft length=56.85cfm Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    For property tax purposes - is this "living area"?

    Here's an amazing tax assessment true story: A friend of mine bought 5 acres about 45 years ago out in the sticks, even today a not so desirable part of the state. He puts a trailer on it, well, septic, electric. He had less than $20K in everything. He and his brothers build a great big garage...

    For property tax purposes - is this "living area"?

    That tax assessment really gets me also. My in-laws bought their home new in 1932, never upgraded anything. A couple years ago when in-laws passed, my wife put it on the market, finally getting an offer WAY lower than tax assessed value. I had the tax assessor come out, we did a walk through...

    garage drains ?

    I have PVC drains around for different things. When I bought the old house 40 years ago the gray water drained out to the back yard. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    garage drains ?

    I think that depends on where you are, what code says whether it can drain outside or has to tie into septic. Then it depends on what's going down the drain, water, chemicals, etc. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    Broken door spring

    Same here. Spring broke on the one door probably opened 10 times in 30 years. I was in garage when it broke, didn't know what it was at the time sounded like someone running around upstairs! Installer came out, total bill was $175 parts+labor. Took him 45 minutes also. Quite a job, but he does...

    24 Vdc ?

    I guess I'm just weird or stupid (or both[emoji38]), but I've never understood CPAP machines. I understand how they work and purpose, but I know I couldn't sleep wearing one. My wife & I, both late 60s, snore and our doctor says we both should have one (although grandparents both sides lived...

    Saltlamp Bulb

    The salt lamps we have we've never had to replace the bulb. If moisture was a problem maybe aquarium supply places would have a bulb with same base, same wattage. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    Small room moisture control tip:

    If it ever quits working like mine did a few months ago take it apart. There's a circuit board inside with two bad capacitors (1000ufd @ 16 volts as I remember). The tops were swollen. Replaced them and works again. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    Small room moisture control tip:

    My garage has a bathroom/shower then another room I put a washing machine in. It's a temporary horse tack room but I had moisture problems, mold on leather, etc. I ordered this small dehumidifier but you're supposed to empty container, instead I drilled/tapped and put a brass hose connector in...

    Saltlamp Bulb

    There's actually a business near here that has a large room built entirely of Himalayan salt blocks. Floor, walls, ceiling, everything. It's back-lit and heated to about 75-80F. You pay something like a dollar a minute to sit in there. It was ok. Now I know what a tortured slug feels like. Sent...

    Tv audio question

    Is TV on antenna or cable/satellite box? If receiver is near TV and trying to run audio just to speakers as others said proper gauge wire is best. Otherwise you can't see a TV screen 50 ft away very well. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

    Mechanics: Tips and tricks you've learned

    I work on something until I get frustrated or mad, stop and do something else. An hour later it seems everything is fine then. It's best to complete one project before starting on another. If I put it off a few weeks it's now a mess, remembering where I left off, what goes where, etc. With a...

    Saltlamp Bulb

    It won't work. It needs incandescent to give off heat for salt block to work. From WebMD: Himalayan salt lamps supposedly produce negatively charged ions while water molecules from the air attract to -- and then evaporate from -- the warmth of its surface. Those who believe in the health...
