Re: [MBZ] Quiet day on the list
Yes. I just finished stripping about 400 sf of roof to put down a double layer of ice and snow block to cure a stubborn series of leaks over a shallow cricket. IMO. CFLs and LEDs just don't cost that much to run.

Re: [MBZ] Quiet day on the list
Won’t be the last hole I’ll cut in a roof. If it’s done carefully and correctly, leaks should be the last thing to worry about. I’ve cut holes in a number of roofs for skylights, exhaust stacks, fans, etc. Never had a leak to this day.

Now you sound like Wilton!(or anyone else who ever had to chase leaks in a roof) When I bought my current house, with plans to put in a 95% furnace, my realtor suggested I tear out the masonry chimney and put in a 2nd bathroom closet. I thought he was nuts. It's a lot of work to disassemble a chimney, then you've got a 18" square hole in the roof to fix, then you have to build a closet that's only a few feet away from an existing closet... After I switched to an electric water heater, I siliconed a 12" square patio block to the top of the 8" clay flue and a steel plate over the flue entry hole in the basement to seal off the chimney. If anybody wants to put a woodburner in some day, there's a good chimney ready to use.

Stall is all about airspeed (not enough) and angle of attack (too much). Amazing vertical wind currents are possible around thunder storms. Downdrafts can be dangerous.

Re: [MBZ] Swtching front door handles on a W123
Numerous times. Piece of cake, as they are not unique to each side. Pop them out, swap them between sides, and you’re done. Open the door, peel back the weatherstrip behind the weatherstrip or pry open the oval plastic plug (I can’t recall which it is on the W123). Behind the weatherstrip or plug are two large phillips head screws. Remove them. Get a plastic or rubber mallet, or a piece of wood and a hammer, and tap the trailing edge of the handle towards the front of the car. This will release the handle from the door skin, after which you can carefully pull the handle out of the opening. Have a key handy, as you may need to turn the lock to disengage the locking pin from the door latch. Installation is the reverse of the process. Problems? Ask.

I never saw one on a 110 or even a /8, but i did not see under the hood of many /8s and never owned one. I've only seen the rack and pinion adjuster on 123s.

I know the 110s originally came out with a stamped steel alt mount and those broke. Mine broke in about 1973 or 4. About a year after I got the car. I put a generator on from a older car. end of problems. By the 123, they used the cast iron alt mount, and i've never seen one of those break in the first 300,000 miles. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Computer Case Recommendations
Look for a used one. If you were close by, I would give you one. I have 3 old computers in my basement with outdated insides but good quality cases.

His previous choices were driven by economics, so the case he has now is pretty lousy. I want to buy him a new (quality) case and power supply so he can appreciate the difference that $30-$40 can make in a situation like this.

Looking for a recommendation for a good quality tower case/enclosure with a decent power supply. He games, but doesn’t do really intense stuff. He’s currently running an Asus ATX MB with an i5 Intel processor and a single video card, one hard drive, one optical. All of his stuff will just be swapped over, no new stuff going in at this point. I like CoolerMaster myself, but am open to suggestions.

How about 40-15 rebate for the case and 40-15 for a bronze power supply, $50 net?
