    HF LED Shop Light

    I have them in my garage and they work well so far. You can use a coupon to get them for under 20 dollars all the time. Only thing like previously stated, you can't really surface mount them.

    "Hybrid" heat pump water heater recommendations

    I have one of the GE geosprings before they stopped making them. Knock on wood its been pretty good for us. When we bought our home it was heated with an oil boiler. Previous owners ran a dehumidifier down the basement. We switched to coal heat and didn't have a dehumidifier either. I...

    We just priced out mini splits this year. Mitsubishi came in with the 2nd lowest price and Daikin was the highest. The lowest was a Fujitsu system with a 10 year warranty. All the other quotes included a 12 year warranty.

    Stove Ductwork

    I am upgrading to a stoker 2 from alaska with the upgraded fan blower. My longest run will be maybe 20 feet for the ductwork so I am not concerned with losing any heat from the fan blowing it. Sent from my SM-G965U using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Stove Ductwork

    I am getting a new coal stoker stove delivered at the end of the week. My old stove I had to heat the air and let it rise out of my basement and through my house. It worked but not efficiently. My new stove has a 8 inch duct ring cut into it. Question is what do I need to know to install...

    Well problem

    I was thinking that myself, honestly. Maybe I will look into that. If you look at the pictures it possibly might be losing pressure due to that check valve being bad. If you look at it its pretty corroded and I wouldn't be surprised if it's on its way out. It's possible it's the pump when I...

    Well problem

    I talked to the county they would not have the records. I have a vague idea where the well is located after talking to the previous owners, unfortunately it is under my deck. So I am going to have to take some decking boards off to dig it up.

    Well problem

    So my wife's uncle came over to help me diagnose it. We closed the valves to the house and pressure tank. Well kicked off at 46 psi like it's set to do. Then over an hour it dropped to 43 psi, he thinks it's the jet or the foot valve with a slow leak or crack. I'd rather that than the well...

    Well problem

    Yes when I start a hose it sputters sometime. I was told the well is 75 ft deep. Are you thinking the well may be drying up? Sent from my SM-G965U using The Garage Journal mobile app

    Well problem

    Doesn't seem to be the pressure switch. Took the line off from the pump to the pressure switch no blockage. Emptied pressure tank and it takes 4 minutes to fill back up. I wanna take the pipes off the pump and look at the pump. What do I need to look for to see if the pump is going bad? I...
