    Ducted split tired into existing furnace?

    Sounds like I created a weird constraint. I was only thinking of leaving my perfectly functional furnace in place "just in case" But doing a little more looking around I see some pretty good systems for what would be a very quick return based on where my propane prices went to recently. The...

    Ducted split tired into existing furnace?

    I live out in the country so we have propane heat. I've been thinking about the possibility of a central/ducted split system. Where I'm at in Michigan the winter lows can be very unpredictable from year to year. Sometimes a week of -12f, sometimes it never gets below 25f. So it would be...

    Question on drill concrete

    If your still thinking about flat bottomed holes Diablo has a SDS Plus bit called a Rebar Demon that creates a not exactly flat bottom, but a much more flat bottom than a spade style.

    Green Douglas Fir pre cut studs?

    If you have a cheap moisture meter it would answer a lot of questions. But 4 months isn't a lot of drying time for green lumber.

    Shop Stereo Options; Lets Discuss

    Raspberry Pi with an amplifier running volumio. Will play local music, stream over the local network from the phone or play Spotify. Keeps going no matter where I am or wander on the property with the wifi coverage I have. I run three of them, one in the living room, over in the attached...

    Looking to build a 30x50 garage/workshop - advice needed on options

    I installed a 2 post (the C7000 style moveable) and had them do a 4 1/2" strip that allowed for 2 mounting points at different depths from the garage door. 4" everywhere else. Waited a month to put any weight on it and then parked a F250 in one side and a trailer full of walnut logs on the...

    Looking to build a 30x50 garage/workshop - advice needed on options

    There is literally no reason to go with the extra thick slab your thinking about based on what you're doing, especially with 4000psi concrete.

    New Garage Build - WWGJD??

    Designing new pole barn 42X32 12ft doors Menards

    My shop which just finished came out to roughly 84K at 32x50 12'8" ceilings (12' walls on an 8" concrete "block"). It was not an easy build site (lots of clay and cut into a hill a little) and has a concrete retaining wall built in to one side. That was wrapped vinyl sided , insulated and...

    Looking to buy a propane powered generator as backup power for my house -- mostly the well pump.

    I should have noted that I'm on well and the generator is 5k (not 10) and it handled the pump just fine. It was running the entire house, I turned off the microwave (didn't like the AC off the generator and wouldn't heat right) and furnace fan (well and fan plus fridge all at the same time...

    High Output Smart Three Way Switch

    So no lithium battery tools then, just Yankee screwdrivers and bit and brace. No actual need besides laziness (I actually use both, but 90% of my house it automated and the shop will be too, its very nice)

    Looking to buy a propane powered generator as backup power for my house -- mostly the well pump.

    I have an All Power America and it has been left with gas in it for years and still fired up on the 2nd pull. Had it for 12 years now. Got me through a power outage earlier this year that lasted days. I bought mine at the local Orielly when I got it, but I've seen them come up on Amazon as well.

    Fan setup to help with heat

    I said air mover, not fan. Very different design. Its designed to move large volumes of air much like the furnace part you recommended. Less than 1,000 CFM won't make a good air filter as I'll only get maybe 5 air exchanges per hour. Not great to minimize the inhalation of wood dust in the...
