    Home Heating (Or Window) Help?

    Kind of a weird situation, perhaps someone who knows windows, or HVAC, could chime in with some ideas. This is what the windows in my house look like right now. It's -22C outside. During the Fall, which was pretty humid, the windows had a lot of moisture on them. Now in winter, it's...

    New Member With Some Insulation Questions

    Hey guys, new member here. I've had to halfass my shop for the past four years or so due to lack of time and money, but this fall/winter I'm gonna do my best (still on a budget) to "finish" my shop as best I can. I race short track stockcar, in a Truck class specifically. So the racetruck...
