Kinda surprised they put a 90 at the bottom of your liner instead of a tee with a capped section of liner dropping down to the old cleanout below....
Every plumbing vent pipe , power drop, bath fan vent, etc. that penetrates the roof deck. Those buggers are big potential leak points so I make...
Getting the dang cap off has become more and more difficult as the chimney has aged. On my duravent system the cap threads on the same way that...
Are the whip strings no longer replaceable? I've worn out a couple sets. The originals last longer than the super thick weedwacker string I used...
Yep, I agree that's how medians work on a statewide basis. You could probably find that data on a county by county basis if you really wanted to...
Here's the second half of the map. You can see why someone would sell from WA and move to NH. Same affordability but houses are much cheaper. I'm...
Affordability is what you seem to be talking about. As we get older and presumably have equity built up and perhaps also have no need for local...
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.
