That Snopes is an amazing website isn't it! They seem to really spend some time and resources tracking down the truth about these stories. In Snopes we trust! :)

Sorry for the re-post, my bad.

I was told that this is a true story, it happened in Utah and was on the news.

A city councilman, Mark, had a beautiful

hivacer has given you the correct answer, thanks hivacer! :) Use a 5 or 6, whatever is standard in your area, with a damper.

It can be done in the way you propose. It must be at night so there is no solar gain. The calcs assume a 15 MPH wind. I have done similar calculations and have found that the heat loss calc is...

It looks like a first class job was done at Comfortech, incredibly good!

Hey Robin, I just saw this thread. I really don't have any words of wisdom for you, but I am saddened to hear of your sister's condition and the difficulties your family is facing. You have a...

If the thread was titled Mr. Beaver, would you have looked?? :D

TheEstimator liked her eyes, he wouldn't have said that if it was a "he".

I was up at one of my favorite spots, watching the beavers, when a couple of birds starting chirping and scolding something. I watched and watched and then finally got some pics of this animal. At...

I have seen several deer on my hikes around the cottage but usually I just see their tails as they run away from me crashing along the trail. This little gal though ran away and then came back for a...

Well, the Penton People are communicating with the members, the members are smiling again, the moderators are moderating, and the Chat is back and Snuffy is attempting a comeback. Everything is good...

So please, everyone, things are back...

I know many of you are feeling disgruntled with the new owners of the site and their seeming lack of concern for the membership. I share your feelings.

However, I suggest we don't throw away...

Hi Workhorse! Yes, I still check in from time to time but I don't spend much time here. I find that when I do spend a little time, I start to get involved and soon I'm spending more time then I...

These shoes would bring a big price on eBay!

I would ease up a bit on Penton, Outside Rep. They are hosting the site and it is still their first...

Here are some facts on the Chat site. I set it up with a company called DigiChat back in 2001 when I owned the site. It is hosted on DigiChat's network so that it wouldn't slow down this site and...

WOW! Look at the size of that Praying Mantis! Another example of steroid abuse amongst insects!

Wild Birds unlimited.

Those pics are old - the bird feeder has lasted just fine, still looks the same.

I was only involved in this transaction in a small way, just to tidy up some loose ends that were still in effect between me and BuildCentral. However, I did take a look at another site that Penton...

I will see if I can fix them. Give me a week or two.

Yep, Happy Easter everyone. You know your kids are getting older when the eggs are all hidden yet the kids are still asleep at 10 o'clock!

Happy Easter all you HVAC-Talkers!

yes it is like a Home Show except the main exhibitors have goods of interest to cottagers. Boats, docks, real estate, power generators, roofing, bug jackets, fireplaces, water purifiers.

As far as the money goes, propane barbecues aren't cheap either and they sure don't last. We bought what we thought was a very good Ducane barbecue 4 years ago for here at the house and haven't used...

Hi there tlchvac! :) You know, I taught him everything he knows, actually I taught him a lot more than that but he forgot a lot. :D

I e-mailed DigiChat and got the following response almost immediately. Pretty good service I think.

The chat site is hosted in Florida. This is a different server than HVAC-Talk. If you get booted, it is because the connection between you and the server in Florida has been broken momentarily.

I did it cold turkey 15 years ago. I was a very heavy smoker for a long time. For me, the fact that it would kill me was never enough motivation. BUT, I had a 3 year old daughter at that time and...

Hey, thanks Mr. 3528, I appreciate it. The HVAC-Talk site is quite a phenomenon isn't it. I enjoy coming up with an idea and building it.
