Re: [MBZ] High Volume, Low Pressure Spray Gun Kit

Would spraying rattle can clear coat over the rattle can paint job be a good idea? I have an old Ford 150 trash truck that needs something if I can expect to sell it for more than $200. Harry I'm already thinking I may get some spray bombs for my 240D So far I've been pleased with the r

Re: [MBZ] OT, A water circuit breaker for the home

[MBZ] OT, A water circuit breaker for the home

I was telling SWMBO (my sole partner in building our metal frame home) how great this list is. I told her that our grey water lint problem may be solved thanks to Allan's tip through this list. She suggested I share some things we built into our house that some of you may not be aware of and

Re: [MBZ] OT was what about you, now Washer Lint

Allan Many thanks, I believe this may be the answer to my problem. I'll have one on order shortly. I'll try an installation just upstream from the pump drum and leave my filter in place, at least for awhile. Thanks Harry > I have a lint filter on my washer drain, since we're on a septic syst

Re: [MBZ] OT was what about you, now Washer Lint

Washer water is a problem where ever you send it because of the large amount of lint. I use screen door material on an old dishwasher rack to filter gray water entering the pump drum. I place 3" chlorine tablets under the air gap flow. With only two of us in the house, lint build up on the fi
