You might be best off welding a nut on metal tab and pop riveting it down in 2 places across the hole. Something along these lines.. http://www.jhpfasteners.com/spot-weld-double-spot-weld-c-66_67_68_201-l-en.html

The Mohawk lifts I think only have the hydraulic lines to each side. The locks are released from each post also, so it is not too complicated to bury or bring the hydraulic lines up. With the Bendpak and Challenger you have the equalizer cables running between the posts. The Bendpak also has the...

I have a friend who is in the same situation and we are in the process of measuring to confirm everything fits. He already has a very old VBM lift but the hydraulics are failing and it is no cable safety etc, time to move on. The Challenger has some great standard features in my eyes if you are...

Generally the grime in the brake fluid will stay in the bottom of the master cylinder. If it gets stirred up by adding new fluid, it will move through the lines and get flushed out. If they did the job correctly. Any grime that was stirred up that stays in the master cylinder, generally means...

Same problem here. Also got fed up with the long dry time and the mess it causes with overspray. Gone to Duplicolor for engine enamel and exhaust paint. Sooo much nicer, great finish, fast dry and best of all no clogged nozzles. Bad part is that Autozone carries Rustoleum the same as Home depot...

I use this website to check out prices. http://www.newenglandoil.com/massachusetts/zone3.asp?x=0 I company I sometimes use is Oilman, http://www.oilmanonline.com/, might not supply your area.

I bought some Grizzly butcher worktops, found cheapest at the time on Amazon, made in USA as well.. They come in different sizes, I know you mentioned unfinished but these look nice. Butcher block does dent but cleans up nice. I use pieces of the packing material for protection when rebuilding...

I use a humidifier which is connected to my ac ductwork. My downstairs a/c heat rarely comes on, I use a pellet stove, water baseboard heating and a heat pump. My humidifier is a Honeywell steam unit, the drip humidifiers I read seem to have a bad rap for mold etc. It is all controlled by my ac...

As Zick says, it could be the combustion blower not blowing across the ignitor correctly. It could also be a blockage in the vent pipe as the air cannot blow out. Blocked holes in the burn pot over the ignitor, weak or faulty ignitor, combustion blower faulty, etc. Let us know how you get on.

No expert here, but a flashing light for most Harmans is not burning after a set time. A few questions. Presuming here you have not just cleaned or emptied the ash in the burn pot. On a "cold" start, how many pellets are fed? Do they come a fair way up the burn pot, at least covering 1/3 - 1/4...

If the pellets feed it might not be vacuum switch. On my Harman at least, the vacuum switch is supposed to stop the feeder or auger motor. Does your model have flashing lights on the circuit panel to indicate what is wrong?

Nice workshop.. It sounds like you would like to use the loft area above the garage for working. If like barks says the weather is nice and pleasant you might not need to insulate at all. Use the doors and windows and maybe a fan. The roof though will be close to your head and 110F will heat up...

Vapor barriers opens up a whole can of worms. See these links.. http://www.energysavers.gov/your_home/insulation_airsealing/index.cfm/mytopic=11810 http://www.epa.gov/indoorairplus/technical/moisture/1_12.html...

$3.96 from Eastern propane for ~80 gallon tank which is rented for $100 a year.

I have installed 2 Fantech inline fans like these. http://www.amazon.com/Fantech-DBF-110-Radon-Duct/dp/B000GXF7KO They worked excellent and have been in use for over 10 years each. One is in a vet clinic where the dryer is going continuously and had a long run and they went through many dryers...

My flame sensor was dirty like jwith68 mentioned. Cleaning made the unit fire correctly each time but I did replace it as I was worried it would fail. This was a Sterling heater with flashing 2. I found this in one of the manuals on the Modine website but it may be different for your model...

Do you have any error lights flashing when this happens?

After adding an extra room in our house we changed the compressor to a larger unit, the fan coil was at the correct size but the setting changed. The fan speed increased and we had more noise in the returns. I changed out 2 of the existing returns to almost double their original size and the...

I considered carefully what my options were after some extended power cuts. I can live without cooling, range, dryer, compressor or lift during those times, so a 120v generator will serve my needs. My house, in my eyes, is wired the most ridiculous way with lights and outlets on different floors...

I installed the same Honeywell unit on my house A/C. The unit is mounted in my garage as the fan coil is in my attic. It is connected via a rubber hose maybe 8' long. I hear no banging or noises from my inside the house. The unit does click to open the valve to allow water in, make a noise from...
