    Re: dream trip to Maine

    Well, I think it's time for a Fort Kent boy to make an appearance in this thread. If you're looking to visit a tourist trap and spend outlandish amounts of money, then Fort Kent isn't the place to...

    Re: Ham Radio Tower

    Looks like a nice system, but drooping the guys to lower the antenna would make me nervous a bit. I think I'd have to see one in person before I was comfortable with it. With that said, I'm jealous...

    Re: TV antenna AMPLIFIERS

    Well, the answers are all right on, except for one thing. If you're gonna put in an amplifier, put it as close to the antenna as you can. Putting it in the basement or any distance from the antenna...

    I've been doing some research on straw bale housing, and have found that they are fairly popular in europe. There are some that are pushing 200 years. I think it all depends on the sealing...

    Re: Outboard motor repair

    To do it right, it's gotta come apart. But, before you do that, check the inlet screen. It's probably rusted or full of junk. If I can remember, I'll check the manual to see if there's an easy fix...

    Re: Underwater connection

    Seth, it might work for a while, but sooner or later, it's gonna leak. Have the whole cord replaced with a rated waterproof cord. That way, the connection will be outside the pond. Also, remember...

    Re: Uh-oh. Help!

    You'll never know the full benefits of a reversable drill until you screw a sheetrock screw into your hand and you ain't got reverse. From experience, you only do it once.

    Re: Time for a spring picture?

    Hi Paul. Yea, it's been the longest, coldest and snowiest winter in a long time. 500 degree days more than normal, half again as much snow as usual, and it's 3 degrees F right now. I don't think...

    Re: Trickle From Shower

    Some water saver hookups have restrictor plates usually near the nozzle, but some have them near where it hooks to the spigot. There might be a buildup there. Also, the slider may have erosion from...

    Re: Trickle From Shower

    Hi Mike,
    Off the top of my head, I'd assume that the nozzle has some buildup in it that is keeping most of the water from coming out. When that happens, the pressure will usually force it by the...

    Re: Frozen septic!

    Pete, quick question. Is this a pumped system? And is the line going out in relatively good condition? A normal system, (free flowing), shouldn't freeze unless something in the line is holding up...

    First problem, is that you're trying to humidify a house with a room unit. They're made to put out so much and no more. Either get a unit for each room, or better yet, get a unit installed in your...

    Re: Sweating Pipes

    Just to add my .02. A propane torch will take two to three times as much time to reach temp, but it will do the job. Make sure you heat the fitting and not the pipe. As was said, heat from one...

    Re: Well Pump Running Too Much

    Hondo, I'd suspect a blown pressure tank bladder. Or, if you got an older system, the tank probably doesn't have enough of a charge in it. The tank pressure, when empty of water, should be 2 lbs...

    Re: Old wood stove????

    I might be wrong, but that looks like a stove used on old passenger trains. If it was for "1st class" accomodations, the number could be the train nmber.
