    Turning a barn into a shop, need help stopping drafts

    Not an expert but what about closed cell foam insulation? You should't have to redo the outside siding and it will close up any air leaks.

    Raised panel (used as cabinet door) problem

    Sounds like you have it solved. Have you thought about permanently attaching the outer door frame and hinging the center section of the door along the raised panel seam?

    i guess i could just take the door off and leave it open

    Don't forget to change your air filter at least every couple of months. Get a HEPA one if you can but flow is most important.

    Water heater recommendations?

    My experience with GE/Rheem gas water heaters is that they are crap. I have had 3 of them, with 12 year warrantees, fail within 4 years of installation.

    Double keyed door knob or Store lock

    Don't forget to reinforce the strike plate or the best lock won't do squat. Also, have you considered putting plexiglas over the entire window portion of the door and screwing it in?

    light timers

    Why not just do a motion sensing light? I have one that is dim and lights to full brightness as you approach it. I think it's a bigger deterent than a light alone.

    Puzzling electrical mystery: power comes back on...!

    Two things I really do not cut corners with in my house are electricity and gas. Bad things happen when they fail. As an aside, when I was a new homeowner i hired an electrician and didn't have him pull a permit to save a few bucks (this was 1991). He agreed to replace the whole breaker...

    Heater for a poorly insulated garage

    Sorry I twisted your undies all up. If you read my post I stated that an "infrared heater pointed at you may work". He didn't ask how to heat the whole shop, if I read the original post correctly he was asking about staying warm in a poorly insulated shop. My experience with infrared...

    Heater for a poorly insulated garage

    I vaguely remember a thread, maybe not on here where a guy built a frame out of treaded or soldered pipe large enough to enclose his car and or work area and hung canvas or heavier duty material on the frame. It was all disasembleable? and could be taken with him. Even if you did something...

    Gas Fired Steam Boiler Needs Filling Every Day

    Thanks guys. I'll take a close look at it this weekend. Certainly don't feel like buying a new boiler.

    Gas Fired Steam Boiler Needs Filling Every Day

    No automatic drain. I have to manually drain it to flush it. I'm going to check every vent and radiator shut off valve for signs of leaking. There is a main steam valve in basement. I'm going to take a close look at that. Thanks.

    Gas Fired Steam Boiler Needs Filling Every Day

    I have a gas fired steam boiler (1 pipe) that I used to manually fill once every 3-4 days. This season I am filling it every day or every other day. Low water shut-off is turning it off and I am waking to cold house :mad:. No water on floor around boiler or obvious leaks. I can get all the...

    Empty trailer shakes - question on fix.

    Strap enough of the cheapest 50 lbs bag of whatever you can find on the trailer and toss them when you get where you're going. Or go to Home Depot, buy 1000 lbs of whatever in Idaho and return it to a Home Depot at the other end of your trip.

    Half a million bucks for a dog?

    Imagine how pissed off you'll be when you tie him outside somewhere and come back to a collar and a pile of used napkins.

    ISO a trailer

    Its my intention to build a teardrop from scratch and I have been ruminating on the self contained heating system. Propane seems to be the answer but the CO2 worries me. A battery powered detector is definitely on the list. I am considering a Little Buddy heater but prefer something that I...
