    Remove pole in basement?

    Our local lumberyard has a qualified individual that came out and spec'd a 4-ply 2x16 LVL to span a 32' opening in the basement of my 2-story house. They spec'd it for free since I bought the LVL from them. If I remember correctly, the LVL was around $725 plus the LVL lags and adhesive spec'd...

    Propane sticker shock

    /\ Yep, that was my point. Just lots of things to consider. My parents use fuel oil for their house and dad said it was $2.52/gal last time they have some delivered. Their furnace is quite old, I'm not sure of its efficiency.

    Propane sticker shock

    In what way? Lots of variables to consider when saying one is better than the other.

    Propane sticker shock

    I would expect that in a "poorly insulated" home.

    Remember when it was warm enough to work in your garage?

    Just got my Sterling 120kBTU propane heater install completed on Saturday, so my shop is 52 degrees inside as it is 5 degrees outside right now. :D

    Combustion Air Inlet Box--(Horizontal Application)

    That's what I did with mine. Although my Sterling kit for my 120KBTU heater was a 9" fresh air intake with a 5" stainless exhaust. Shoved the 9" fresh air intake pipe through a 9" hole and spray-foamed around it on the inside, applied gray caulk on the outside. Here's my kit all buttoned up...

    Well it's happening...my 48x60 build

    Fun data to look at...for me atleast ;) My heater cycled 23 times in a 12 hour period. Granted, this was with a cold shop, the starting interior temps were 24 degrees, and that included my 7000 pound tractor, a 2500 pound stack of steel siding for my interior walls and all the lumber and other...

    The sprayfoam ended up being $1.23 per square foot per inch of thickness.

    Blown in insulation DIY

    I blew 71 bags of AtticCat fiberglass into my shop attic today. My shop is 48x64 and at an R-value of R49 it's 16.5" deep. That square footage called for 77 bags, but I blew a bit of it in on the lighter side because I blew a few spots in heavier and ended up using 6 bags less than needed for...

    How do you tag electrical connectors?

    How do you tag electrical connectors?

    I work in a super dusty environment. When I label wires or cables, I wrap it in white electrical tape then write the description on it. Then I wrap over what I just wrote on, only the first layer of this wrap is sticky side UP, then go back over it sticky side down. Otherwise you’ll fight...

    Blown in insulation DIY

    Depends on what the material is you are blowing in. AtticCat blown-in fiberglass, for example, is 16.5" deep at an R-49 value. I'll be blowing in 3072 square feet of it this weekend at an R-49.

    That’s only -11F. Not that cold.

    Haha if I could conceal an AR I would. Until then, I’ll use my handgun to get to my rifle. [emoji482]
