Woke up to a little bit of snow this morning. Drove through a few heavier snow squalls between Vanderbilt and Kalkaska. It was starting to stick...
Thanks for the legwork Jay. Hope I don't ever need to replace mine, but if I do it's nice to know what will work.
Never heard of anyone doing that. Unless they have a spark bucket handy.
I'll have one to celebrate also. No beer though. Jim Beam tonight. :)
Watched a flock of geese fly in and take a break. I was surprised to see them. Figured they'd have wised up and been further south by now.
Looks like the leftovers of that Alaskan storm may help cool thing down in the upper Midwest next week. I heard rumblings of lake effect snow...
Just the dead end at the clean out. The 2' long 3 inch horizontal off the back of the furnace didn't have much in it at all.
Cold, rainy and snowy up north today. Came up this weekend to close the northern MI shack down for the winter. Saw some white ground and lots of...
I'm seeing brands around here that I haven't seen in years. Nothing exotic, but it seems the Michigan pellets are a bit more scarce. I picked up 5...
I wondered the same when I first saw mine but came up with an easy answer. Gravity. :) It's not going anywhere if mounted only at the top. If...
I need to make more time for hobbies. Unfortunately it's too easy to get caught up in the rat race and forget that it's important to unwind and do...
Might be worth it to lob a call into these guys. Looks like a twin tank system there starts at $1395. All depends how may grains of hardness...
When my unit is regenerating, I get non softened water out of the faucets. I can live with that at 1 AM when my softener regenerates. It's not...
I have an older (14 years or so) GE softener that was one of the first to regenerate off the water used instead of number of days. So far it's...
The cold air box isn't a perfect rectangle. It's angled at about 45 degrees towards the furnace on the side where the venting comes out. Also...
If that was the only excuse I could use to grab a beer my house would probably be 100 degrees.
The cold air return box sticks out 12" from the rear of the furnace. I have the back of the cold air box a foot off the wall so I can wedge my...
Went to my moms house to help her out with a few things today. Cut up some ash that she had taken down a couple years ago. Got home, unloaded the...
My pics won't help as I go out 18" or so with 3 inch pipe before switching to four inch at the bottom clean out tee.
I have a coworker who can't believe that anyone still heats with wood. She thought I was lying when I said I have a woodpile, a wood stove, a...
