Not sure what you mean here. My house had a water heater "zone" when I bought it. The boiler heated water that ran in pipes about 80' across the basement to an indirect 80gal tank which then supplied the hot water to the west side of the house. I did away with that day one. For the second...

That looks like a really nice unit. Possibly a bit overkill, but I see the TDR (Turn Down Ratio) is 11:1 on the thing so it's capable of running at ~9% of total capacity when demand is lower. I'd still prefer it was smaller, but a boiler like this isn't as dependent of sizing correctness as a...

Caught this late, well, ignored it because it was too big to read at the time, but congrats on the new place! That's gotta be exciting! As to moving, at work I handle a good bit of LTL trucking, and I am always seeing emails saying they also handle moving options for long distance. Many of...

Thanks for the links, I'll do some reading!

Sorry about the disaster, that's gotta really stink. Many, many thoughts... Might not be enough room on the internet for them all. May also cost you some money, as I'll probably point out some stuff your contractor either doesn't know, or won't tell you, and it'll mean different equipment...

Thanks! That's too cool! Always wanted to do the BJCP program, and the local test was held about 10 min from my house last year. I didn't know till after it was over. I've considered trying the Seibel kits, just never got the ambition. Who knows, maybe after retirement...

I'm a good bit more than 30 minutes east of there! Cheers!

In Vegas back in Feb, 7th precisely, saw Def Leppard @ Cesars Palace. For about 1/3 of the show, Joe was right out in the crowd, and pretty much had been to every part of the venue by the time the show was done. Performed tracks on all 3 decks, as well as down front in the standing area in...

Thanks, I'm a half hour east of there. Lock Haven address, just not LH.

Thinking God hates me. I just bought one of these which hasn't arrived yet, only to see they're having a sale for Fathers Day for $99. Couldn't bring myself to keep looking, but appears they've got other stuff on sale as well. For anyone interested, look on the Inkbird site.

Most folks online recommend an orbital sander, I presume because they're more commonly available. I can understand the reasoning as a final finish, but given the amount of material that needs removed, a 36 grit flap wheel was a whole lot faster and plenty smooth enough for me. I didn't have...

I'm with ya there. I'd have to decide which I'd prefer more, sanding 20+ doors or a sharp stick in the eye...

I just today made a thread asking if anyone had done something similar, but it was in the electric smoker section. Only after did I see this. I'm new here so keep that in mind. I recently picked up a couple Arduino 4 wifi's to mess around with. My intent was nothing to do with food prep...

Well, now that the thread exists, I see someone has done something similar. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/built-a-diy-smart-controller-for-my-curing-chamber-—-looking-for-feedback-from-people-who-actually-know-what-theyre-doing.334650/

I see there's lots of electric smoker mod threads. A bunch using a PID controller which is cool. Just so happens I used build electronic devices, and while I usually did it the hard way, I recently bought my very first Arduino. ( Had to build new controls for a coal stove using one). It just...

Central PA food nut. Been cooking since I was pre-school. Required to do so as a kid. Enjoy the process as much as the results. Even enjoy a failure from time to time if I learn something. Career in many techs, and DIY'er in nearly every tech I've ever come in contact with. New to smokers...

Chris Kimball (177 Milk Street) recommends grape seed oil. I like the way it stays put on the surface. As if I needed more cast iron pans, I bought 2 new skillets last year and did the smoothing hack on them with a 4" grinder and a flap disk. Far superior to the way they arrive from the...

I've done a zillion of these. Switched from T12 to T8 15 years ago at work, saved a fortune on electric. LEDs were too expensive at the time. Built a new building in 21 (overtop of the old), and switched to LED. Same fixtures as before. In some cases you can use the existing fixture and...

Well, ya have to find the forum first... Fact is, it cripples my tablet to a point it will crash. So, a bit heavy on the videos and ads to even view it on such a device. I've done a 1 hour hang in the kitchen before, but not last batch and not this most recent batch. This batch I did an hour...

I'm a bit of a tool snob, so when it comes to brand, I tend to buy really nice stuff. I despise using crappy tools. If you've got 20 doors, that's a lot of sanding. I agree 100% on getting a corded sander. I buy virtually all my electric tools from CPO Outlets. I've been buying there...
