I have several of each variety. The laterals I got more recently and put casters on them. Use metal casters if you do that.....

Thanks for the feedback. On the list, scanning for deals....

Anyone using a Hackzall? Thinking this might be the next addition to my collection. My Sawzall has a few miles on it and I don't always need that much saw....

Recently took what I thought would be a gamble and went for the "Buy two 5.0Ah M18s... and get a bare tool free." Got my leaf blower right away, a few days more for the batteries. Factory Authorized Outlet off of Facebook. I keep checking them, so far nothing close to that deal......

We did black and you can bake bread in the attic and kitchen with the vaulted ceiling. I would go gray.

Lennox EL16XC1, looks to be single speed. Dampers are just for balance. No rebates. The existing ductwork was a mix of 1997 and 2003. They upsized most of it, including the returns. There are 16 registers and two returns. They got it in fast but it's not right. They are coming...

They sent 5 or 6 guys Wednesday, tapering off to 4. All equipment was out, new equipment in by end of day. Some ducting out. Thursday one guy shows, eventually 4 guys. Ducting almost done, worked until 7:30. Friday 2 guys show at 7AM, attic cleaned out, system running heat or cool and they...

I talked to another fellow who has done work for the family over the years. His assessment, based on the work described, is that I'm paying a $3000+ premium to get it done in two days starting tomorrow. He's not a low cost guy, so he would be a bit higher anyway. Remind me to do a...

Based on other searches, it's high for sure but I figure I'm paying for the quick install too. They are replacing ducting and adding dampers. Everthing costs more here and then there's the stupid permit--you must have "permission' from the city for stuff like this....

OK it's 90+ and my 1997 Carrier 5 ton is out. That and the gas heater all installed at the same time. Some of the ducting redone in 2003. I'm having surgery on my hoof on Friday, and being able to sleep is important to the wife and me. So a Lennox 16 seer system with variable speed FAU/gas...

Cat or blade with teeth. After a few passes, gather them and roast hot dogs.....

IMO don't take it out of the flooring. Take some of it out of the subfloor then see post 6. We did a remodel and there are a couple places where levels weren't quite right. I hate it that any of it was taken out of the hardwood.

I just put one through the wall. East Texas? You might need it in any season from time to time? Through the wall, leave the windows as windows. No plywood seal up job to repaint every year. Serving suggestion.

Do you have deer jumping the gate or fence at any time? (I know, odd question) If so, rethink the spikes. A deer impaled on your fence is a really, really bad PR situation. A burgler, not so much.... Do a search for "security spikes for top of fence...." There are so many hits and products...

Another vote FOR the vent.

Mine is 30' wide. I went with one 9'+ and one near 16'. I can't recall the exact numbers and am too lazy to go measure. My Simpson Strong Wall sections limited the door width. I have ridge beam construction and have a nice open area in there, with a 10' plate. I used the now extinct...

"Living" areas have to be sealed off from vehicle areas. Your corner steel loft becomes a barbeque rack if there is a fire, but whoever is there will probably be dead from fumes or CO before they cook. 5/8" drywall, fireproof caulking, fireproof doors.

Poured the floor yet? If not, 1 or 1 1/2" conduit under the floor, straight runs from where the panel is to where you think you want juice in the walls. One to each corner if you want, with one in the middle. Pup it up inside any stem wall so it's inside the wall. Serving suggestion.

When I was about 3, I found a wire furniture or rug tag. In other words, a piece of bare wire. With a room full of adults, I managed to take it over to the wall outlet and plug it in. It left a lasting impression. Later I wondered what those round things were when you opened the oven door...

Outlets are in infrequent use. I replaced a GFI that I think was bad also. Last year the lights worked but not that GFI. I went to another outlet, and what with my busy schedule, just fiddled with it again. Anyway, I have the new GFI in, it works. I have the breaker number and I'll...
