I've caught the tax guys "trespassing" to measure outbuildings. Sure, they had a badge and all that and even parked in front in a marked car but...
Oh this is fun, so what you have there are average prices so you're half way. Now the very important next step is to look at what that average...
Yeah, I've been looking around the country. NH is cheap. Also, 180k is not much anymore and that term "to afford" is a loaded term full of people...
Yeah, these things (the big ones) are noisy and I don't like to stand next to it while exercising it which is why I like the basic little 1500...
There are so many cool houses and properties in New Hampshire at reasonable prices. So your major energy consumption is oil. If that modern...
I use an energy monitor to track consumption. Home heating is "free" because I have wood heat. The only other large consumers are water heating...
For an 8500 watt generator, a 60 watt light bulb is too small of a load for break in, exercise, or to even warm the engine much. Perhaps that lady...
I have several of the champion gensets, they've been great. They are all clones of very good honda or yamaha engines. As I recall, the break in...
I should add that my calculations assume cord of wood is 18mmbtu for doug fir and assumed 80% efficiency in my stove. I buy green logs or whatever...
The crossover temperature depends on the outside temperature and cost of wood. The table of efficiency vs. outdoor temperature should be available...
I use the trigger actuated soldering torches. Less flame than that and I can turn it down so that it's pretty quiet and doesn't blow smoke out the...
This year we totally changed up the shoulder season routine. Maybe we're getting older or something but we would much rather the house cool off at...
i personally prefer the ceramic catalysts. Less clogging, warping, cheaper, and I even think they last longer.
Firecat is midwest hearth as you see when you click through. You can also go to amazon and get these from midwest hearth. All of these ceramic...
They don't last forever but the vinegar will certainly give it a temporary refresh. After 3 years I'd be making sure to have the replacement cat...
Burning is such a good thing for us. We separate burnable and nonburnable garbage. I take 8 cans of nonburnable to the dump once or twice a year....
So that rod passes through the firebox wall and then through the wall of the dome, the cat chamber, before it attaches to the bypass plate. I...
If I thought the noise was coming from where the rod passes through the stove wall I’d pull off the bypass handle, it just slides on the keyed...
If you just leave that question blank and move on it seems to work fine.
I'm just sitting here trying to figure out what happens when they come to a stop.
