    Thanks VW. Took a chance on the Meguiar's and 5 quart Castrol. Not holding my breath on the oil unless it is unopened ;) and the UPS store is on my way to work if it doesn't work out.

    My apologies to everyone for being so hasty and gruff in my previous post; I was interrupted while posting and hit post reply prematurely. I by no means can confirm or deny if this item is two or three phase, but I plan to purchase one and find out :) By no means am I ever trying to dissuade...

    Kilz2 primer at HD

    I agree, the 2 gallon bucket remains a great price and it's only a matter of time before inflation catches up. I paid $24.98 for it this past July.

    THANKS DUKER! This is one of those items that's been on my list of tools that "I'm sure I need to buy one of these even though I'm not sure why...." for a long time. If anyone who owns one can provide their input on what I should look for when inspecting it beyond the basic visual and turning...

    How important is house wrap

    Have you considered a SIP building that you assemble yourself? For as small of a building as you are looking at and given your climate, you could be in a super tight and insulated building for around $3000 -$3500 and have squat utility bills with likely a larger footprint if you wanted. It would...

    How important is house wrap

    Determine what percentage of the building cost the $200 is for house wrap and it will be even less of a concern when you see how low the number is. On the other hand, what brand of house wrap also matters significantly. Only one or two companies offer a house wrap comparable to Tyvek brand. Be...

    Can mini splits work in large space?

    Do you really need 6 tons of cooling for a space that well insulated (am I correct in assuming most of 1 long wall is shared with the house)? Given the information you have provided about size and insulation I have to ask why you are considering 2 minis over a conventional system? If you are a...

    Heating 690sqft in Nebraska recommendations

    Regardless of which you choose, have the builder run both a gas and 220 line to the garage now. The small upfront cost now won't compare with the convenience of having it already done down the road. Personally, I'd invest in a sub panel with at least a 60 amp feed to the garage. You never know...
