I've used the Zebra Wurth ones for ~20 years. Seems to me they got much more brittle about halfway through that time period (around the time they started putting expiration dates on them??) and plus my source is a little awkward for me, now. Wurth Australia shows that there is a step above the...

The view through the garage windows looks like one of those mural graphics guys get for the back window of their trucks. Too perfect. ;)

Electric heat and only electric heat is what you want to generate warm by. Though it has not been a problem for me I've been warned mightily by member here about using open air, unvented (ie, portable not chimney's) combustion heaters. We had a small fiberglass (Boler brand) travel trailer...

heating pad underneath the LVT would be an idea, too. Helps with dry out in damp climes, too. Oh, maybe not Nebraska

Thinking that was sarcasm/irony (?) as that looks great!!

OK, based on deciding a 4A:80B:C was a comparision standard I would use, I thought I'd share my shopping, for the Canadian readers here. I found Ansul Sentry for CDN$155 or 163, Amerex b456 aluminum valve for CDN$126 with shipping risk (Amazon, reviews appear to show a lot get damaged). Brass...

Local buy and sell has "Badger 11lb. Clean Agent Halotron" for $200 each A mix of "original mfg. 2015" and "original mfg. 2012 6year done in 2020" Is this appealing for residential 2car? Halon because of its composition is unlikely to plug up or otherwise fail. My thought would be to use one...

I find the Weathertechs slippery when putting my foot in. Problem scenario - I've worked for car dealerships for almost 20 years in Canada. Stepping into someone else's car with the seat adjusted wrong, varying makes and model's ergonomics, in winter. If it has Weathertechs, there's a very...

This would be for heating a space (from well below freezing to just above) for on average a half dozen hours a week split in two periods. In this context, then, I think the phrase "heat cost effectively" is almost irrelevant here as it would normally be meant. There will never be a thermostat...

One more ques- I know I asked this in another thread, but... we rate heating- combustion heating most notably- by efficiency percents. Isn't it true to say unvented heaters, despite their disadvantages, are 99-100% efficient?

Mr.N - I used 1.295 Cdn dollars per litre for propane and Cdn$7.50 per GJ for gas. Mark N-J - CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O is for NG. Not much, if any, better- as you do use ~twice as much. So if you end up with 4 or 5 H20 molecules, basically the same. I did use this heater in a smaller area...

To keep the conversation going... (I didn't see replies until an hour ago). Sorry if any phrases sound defensive or cocky. I did research this reasonably well, but neither tone is meant...sometimes by giving my whole set of thoughts it can seem that way...was told that by a recently former boss...

Youtube link So I spent a couple hours checking the math of a post I saw online, and FWIW this started off as a for-myself analysis of the content below that Youtube video- just formally giving him credit for the concept and initial research. I redid the calcs based on recent cost shifts and my...

I've seen decorative patio heaters, and grilles redone, LPG to NG. Most furnaces are available in both fuels. Due to nat gas being roughly 1/7th the price, and no running out for refills, I would like to hear why there are are no "niche" salamander/tornado heaters for nat gas. There are a few...

Re: Fixture #8 being missing - that's where gardening/seasonal/storage will be. Being the resident expert here, can I trouble you for a few words on the, Why, of the hard pass on fixture #5? Besides curiosity/learning it was kind of my choice... Is it no, because of the shade? Glossy white...

Good point. Primary excuse here is my hurried MS Paint drawing wasn't to scale, and I hope I wouldn't have missed putting them in a little better position than that. But agreed! Mind you, there are plans for two task lighting fixtures there. In fact there's already a bulb/socket over the bench...

I was semi active on this forum several years ago (maybe longer and read then to know occasionally), and I remembered the quality of lighting advice, so now I need it, I'm here. ;) I've a little more basic lighting requirement than many here. So, I have what the realtor documents call a 22 x...
