thats obviously the easy route.. no idea on frame. Im not even sure how to tell.

So I found a pretty old 1940's era Westinghouse 10" desk fan. The entire thing is in great shape save the motor (go figure). Somewhere in the windings it's shorted. There's nothing burnt so the short likely developed during one of the many years it was out in the elements. Regardless, I wanted...

Can confirm, the Nanobeams are pretty sweet. When we lived south of Helena, MT the internet service was using those. We had LOS but it was roughly 8 miles to the peak their tower was on. I was surprised at the throughput.

I can't get out to the shop yet but this is the exact unit. Granted, it's a little on the light side.. weight-wise. The fence clamps pretty strong, all the adjustments work and the blade guards intact. There's a plastic 'cup' of sorts in the motor housing near the blade end of the shaft that...

I failed in that regard.. it seems sometimes model numbers are known, some times not. Ill get one on here.

Oak? Who the hell can afford Oak these days? lol

Oh no.. I mean yeah I’m all for repairing and reusing. I just meant opinions on the saw. With so many bearing kits out there, the motors obviously a weak point

So I picked up one of these for free from an old guy.. uit's a long story but he basically got it for a replacement motor. So his old motor, the one on this unit needs the bearing kit. Aside from that it's immaculate. All the parts are here, nothings broke or missing. Just wanted to ask...

I do have a 50 micron spin down now... never thought about putting one of those pre-tank.

I have questioning whether or not to filter pre pressure tank. I mean.. all that funk is getting into the bladder. Surely it's not good for it, but then just like you mention if the pressure switch is never tripped or takes forever then you risk pump damage.

It better not be.. Damn pump, and drop pipe are under 5 years old. I'll have to pay attention to the pressure when we lose it next time... with Consumers Energy that's the most reliable thing about them.

Before this issue gets forgotten by me Im hoping there's some well smart folks around here. Realizing that water wells could be like fingerprints.. super unique. Every time we lose power for more than say 8 hours, once regained the well pump seems to **** up a bunch of sh1t that's outside the...

False alarm. Disregard… one of the filters was plugged to a degree that Ive never seen yet.

So at 2:18am yesterday morning we lost power, it didn’t come back until roughly 9pm. We are on a private well, Grundfos pump roughly 4 years old. I can see the pressure gauge on the pressure tank build up and stop when it’s supposed to at roughly 68#. It also kicks on when its supposed to at...

Reminds me.. I should cut the box off my house. the only physical service we could even get here is Pigeon Telelphone Co. And, serious as sh1t, their local service is a group os small towns. You can't even call the nearest town that's bigger than 2K people that roughly 18 miles away w/o long...

Ugh.. the east and south sides of my house cook in the summer. Been thinking up ways to combat that.. grass I'm not too concerned about as the soil here is more sand and moss than anything. Planting thick bushes perhaps but I'd rather not wait a few years for them to be useful. We are going to...

Egad! I forgot all about all the heat being reflected back out.

Whether it's the single layer foil, or the double-sided bubble-wrap or foam core... What is the current consensus of putting a barrier underneath vinyl siding? Utterly useless? Are the horizontal pockets of air gap enough?

Looking for an intact cover for an analog ammeter like this: The adjustment knob, and two screws.. it's identical to this. Hoping maybe someone has a dusty box of **** or perhaps a dead meter I can get from you. Yes I realize I can buy another meter for under $10.. the thing is that's...

Latest pics (I think I want to go a couple shades darker on the grey.. to get more OEM looking. That and a Craftsman badge for that 7'x1' empty spot)
