I do find it odd your manual only shows one option, back when I installed my heater in 2009 I was given a vertical (through the roof), and horizontal (up and downward sloping) options. I opted for the downward sloping vent pipe to avoid having any condensation running back into the garage where...

Around the engineered cracks in the floor you can see the clouds the most. I took this picture with my camera phone at night so the color is off a bit, but I think this shows what you are looking for. When I take a heat gun to the cloudy areas they clear up permanently. Most of the floor is...

Yep that's all caused by moisture leaching out of the concrete. There were plenty of warnings and instructions about how to check for moisture levels before starting in the Quikrete kits that I used a couple years ago. I still have small amounts of "cloudy" areas in my clear coat, but I did...

I had great experiences with Cinnabar. I even had to return the universal appliance adapter I initially bought because it's not "universal" enough to work with the Hot Dawg, as it turns out there is a special adapter for the Modine heaters and Cinnabar does sell it too. I found the Cinnabar...

I ended up going the blown in dense pack cellulose insulation path instead of with spray foam. I was able to insulate all the wall cavities of my garage that extended beyond the house (because the builder was to cheap and lazy to do it). I used that John's Manville GreenFiber 2.2 Cu. Ft...

While you're at it see if you can get an old Ford Pinto to drive since they come in a hatch back model (easy for loading tanks) and already have a history of exploding if rear ended, that way you can have the mother of all fireballs if someone hits your car while transporting the tanks! In all...

Lingerie for my girlfriend or my wife... LOL

Depends on if the picture is already posted on an Internet server somewhere if so just click on the insert picture icon and paste in the URL (web address) of the picture. Or you can create your own photo albums on garage journal... On the menu go under The Forum - Quick Links - Your Profile...

If Ohio weather is anything like where I grew up in Indiana I don't think I'd store anything made of paper like posters or pictures in an unconditioned garage. It's not really the cold weather that does these things in, but over time the changes between hot and cold temps cause moisture damage...

Technically plain vanilla b-vent isn't considered "code" when venting horizontally, it's best to use the same vent pipe used with tankless water heaters which is an AL24-C grade stainless steel vent pipe. If you use b-vent you are supposed to use large diameter pipe and need a ton of clearance...

Cheers from across the pond! I'm sure this comment won't be popular; however, if gas prices started to get that high here in the U.S. we'll probably start a war somewhere first! :(

@Marauder - Been here in MN since June of 2006 never had any trouble yet... They clear the snow faster than any place I've ever lived. I remember in Dec/Jan of 2006 we got 16 inches of the white stuff in less than 12 hours and all major roads, most minor ones, and even the airport was open the...

@Laredo - I guess any rift raft that survives the winters up here is not anyone you want to mess around with! :-) @TurboCup87 - I got lucky enough to not have to do any jump starts until the spring and then it was a battery replacement operation as the remaining life had been frozen out of the...

I have no idea but the web sites I saw indicated every type of insulation has a shelve life, I guess they plan on water infiltration or some type of scientific decomposition. Everywhere I read this it showed a shelf life but didn't explain why.

Yeah I actually had to put my list of CFL bulbs into a spreadsheet to count them (not enough fingers and toes), it's a three story home with 5 bedroom and 3.5 baths and something like 19 total rooms; it was sort of a dream home for us. While I had the spreadsheet open I calculated the amount...

I put up GE CFL's I bought at Sams Club and replaced every bulb in my house and garage, 99 bulbs in all... I had built a new home and at the end of year one the incandescent bulbs started going bad one at a time, so I figured it was a good time to jump to CFL lights so I don't have to replace...

I did a bit of checking and cellulose insulation is about an R-3.7 per inch at best and slow rise spray foam is rated R-7 per inch so in a typical 2x4 space I could get an R-9 value with cellulose and an R-17 value with spray foam. After some additional checking I found Minnesota being the...

I'll check more into the dense pack cellulose insulation I'm sure it would be a bit easier to install than doing the spray foam insulation and it sounds lots cheaper, the DIY spray foam was going to cost around $,1500! Does anyone know the "R" value difference between dense pack cellulose and...
