The 2 things you can do are to make sure your filters get changed on a regular
basis and make sure the outside unit is clean.
Those outside coils get clogged over time especially if you have a cottonwood

those units would last a lot longer if they
If you got toung and groove OSB, it makes no difference. However, if you
didn't, you want the 8' side to run with the joists. You
will need to suppport all edges of the OSB between the joists. With the piece

If you think of black as the absence of color, one can use a piece of

By doing this, the only color that will be returned to the senser is the color

The most important factor is the quality of the bit. I have decided, I will

whole house fan to hopefully lessen the need to run the airconditioner. These
kinds of fans are usually placed in the hallway of a

This is exactly how I wired up my quartz infrared heater. I like to have the
breaker in my hand when attaching the hot red / black
wires. I then snap it onto the bus. Most people, who can see, just work on
the breaker when it is snapped in. I use a color
identifier when I'm messing with wire
Hey Linnny:
Over the years, I have tried different solutions to have my dust collector come
on while machining a piece of wood. I settled on a
remote switch. You can get a 120v remote switch at any home center. They come
with a short cord attached to a small box. The
cord plugs into the wall

If those parts would have been made out of metal, I bet you would have had a
huge mess. No telling what would have happened to
your bit. I suspect you would have had little pieces of metal moving at a high

I believe these clamps are made all out of plastic except for the bar. They
have rubber pads so won't mark a surface. They do
work well; but, won't last a life time.
Grizzly sells other brands besides just grizzly stuff. When I get to go on a
Grizzly pilgrimage, I always try and pick up a few
Personally, those quick grip type clamps never seem to last that long. I don't
use them for glue ups or assembly work. I will use
them for an extra hand to clamp something to my bench or hold a straight edge.
The also work well to clamp a stop block to a
fence. (stuff like that).

I always assumed our charges from the power company was based on amp hours
rather than power. I don't pretend to be an

Hello all:
I needed to purchase a heater for my shop. I was looking at a couple of
options; but, couldn't decide. After learning about
quartz infrared heaters on this list, I did the research. And decided, for my
application, this heater would work the best.
So, I ordered one from grainger
