Hi all,
The laundry shoot in my home is beginning to snag clothing on it's way down
the shoot. Trying to replace the shoot is out of the question since it
would require breaking through some walls. Are there any tools or
techniques that can be used to smoothe the inner walls of a laundry shoot?
Ray Great post.
The article said that you will never see a 2 stroke in a car. While that may
be true there is at least one automotive acception to this. I will accept
some clarification from any diesel man on the list. There is a diesel engine
out there that is a 2 stroke engine that is used in sem

Hi Dale and all,
Quite a few years ago I had a friend who was a Burroughs's computer field

Joe was a super sharp individual and he told me that anything that has a

About 4 years ago I bought and installed a home softener system off a main

Yes just with a little modifications they could produce tools that the blind

I did write to Beal suggesting they might like to add talking to their device

I got a new stove recently. You would think the touch buttons are supposed

I can say that they won't permit open pilot lights in a new installation here

No doubt you will save money but $500 will take a long time. Just now I think
we are paying about 35 cents a cubic meter which means you will have to save
around 1500 cubic meters over what ever time period to make up the cost. Gas
will doubtless go up in time too which will shorten that pay-bac

Hi Victor,
We don't hear from you much these days.
There are three methods of heat transfer, convection, conduction and radiation.
A toaster oven uses all three, the difference then is in the properties of the
food.

I think Victor was on the right track but in the wrong direction.
When the spring roll is frozen the ice is dense so, like a steel bar heat

Could it be because the Chicken is solid, whereas a spring roll is hollow
with smaller bits inside it?
I would also guess, not basing this on fact, just supposition, that the fact
