Its worth it to run a sawsall down the steal plates. But then again, it can be a task and blades aren't cheap. But what I've heard, is you can take a torch (I don't know the name of it) its a wand...

I've heard of sheet metal shops running automatic nippers or corner notchers and I'm getting ready to build a new table for running duct work. It will be approximately 3' x 20' with a lock former in...

With running 5/16th on the liquid line instead of 3/8th there will be a higher head pressure. By under sizing the liquid line you would think the extended head pressure would hurt a compressor some.

What's wrong with Sporlan? You know that a lot of the equipment manufacturers use Sporlan parts.

Did anyone else read this? I'm assuming this just means we are putting off the changes for another year.

"The terms of the settlement would vacate the current non-weatherized gas furnace and...

I just got to work in the morning and the boss says to go out and install a system that a guy bought. He said to bring an empty reclaim tank because it has a dead compressor. So I jumped in the van,...

I would not go with a cheap meter from a do it yourself store. Your back up needs to be just as reliable as the one you use. And I also would not buy a meter off of flea bay because there is a safety...

Hands down midwest. They beat the hell out of wiss and I think all malco are are midwest snips with malco name on it.

At LEAST 24 hours before it breaks and you fall off. ;)

Greenlee hollow nut drivers, Malco 5/16 and 1/4 (the orange and purple one). I wish the greenlee and kline shorty nut drivers had a magnet. I think I'll steal a magnet out of an old bit and hot glue...

I'm voting no for Prop B just because it hasn't been clearly stated where the money is going. They say it is going to education, but that is pretty broad. It could be darn near anything. Its kinda...

Every convenience store in Missouri has anti prop B literature. A lot of the convenience stores are saying that a lot of the money raised is going to go to the universities. I believe in a person...

Military polypropylene long underwear and top. Just wear a hooded work coat...if provided of course.

I didn't ask what the price was and probably can't tell you right now because its public view. The supply shop was very proud of them. They had them on the middle of the front counter, which means...

I went into a supply house that I don't normally go into and they had the 15% silfos rings. I kind of looked at it funny and asked the counter guy "how do these work?". And he said for example, you...

Be careful blowing a drain out with nitrogen. You might have a homeowner sticking a stick in the other end of the drain trying to help you clean it out. Oops!

They need a taller return air support box. Its going to have bad air flow going into the bottom of the air handler. Just from what I see, I'd take some of the insulation off to see what the...

I always hated taking care of the bosses chores. It was everything from mowing to picking up kids toys in the yard. But there was always 40 hours. I was mixed on taking the 40 or calling it an early...

Do any of you know of any threads where it has been discussed pumping down microchannel coils?

By using the condenser and compressor to pull the refrigerant into the condenser with no ill...

I agree. Documenting it and getting at least the contractor to review and sign it. Lots of times I don't even know who the homeowner is. Its one of those things where the contractor says just go get...

Thank you Gravity and Pete!

I'm an Iowa boy with my little boat named Baycienda.

Thanks Pete! That's exactly what we were looking for! Believe it or not there are people out there having the same issues and thats why hvac talk is good and we need to keep it the same. Its not all...

Walking away is easy...I prefer to be professional and get the job done and do it correctly. I can do it and yes, I am a new business owner. I'm young. Its easy for an employee to sit there and say...

I appreciate your responses. I understand put it in writing, but how do I convey that to the quick contractor, concrete guy, or landscaping guy who wants to move the condenser and that is not going...

Yep, I agree with you, but we are talking about the original question. How do you state it?
