    Compressor recommendation

    tank capacity ( 30 gal, 60 gal etc) tells you nothing about what a compressor can run continuously, you are looking for pump output, SCFM, if you are looking or comparing used compressors be aware than HP and SCFM rating prior to 2004 were outright lies, and are not comparable to the somewhat...

    HDTV antenna options

    yea I would not run there, heat could be a problem. If you want a pro like job here is how you do it, your gonna need bulk RG6 coax cable, strippers, crimpers, and terminals make all your runs in the attic or basement and fish into each wall where there is a TV, you should run all the wires to...

    mushrooms in yard?

    What you can do with a hose pales in comparison to the volume of water real rain can bring, especially if in long durations, rain will also bump the humidity much more than watering, fungus weather.

    mushrooms in yard?

    I still don't get why the mushrooms are a problem? I think they are kinda cool and are good for the soil breaking down organic mater into a form your lawn can make use of.

    Gurgling sink

    You may very well need a plumber but ever if you hire it out you should know whats going on. You are probably already familiar with the trap under the sink, a certain amount of water is suppose to be trapped there to make a seal to keep gases from the waste system from coming into the...

    Buying First Home - Mower Questions

    I had just under an acre in ATL, about half of it grass and it was a many hour long chore with a (self propelled) push mower, have 6 acres now, mostly forested but maybe an acre of driveways and clearings riding mower is well worth it, have an old John Deere 12Hp mower with a 39" deck, picked up...

    Power, cat 5, Coax & phone in the same trench?

    Right but 220 loads do not use the neutral, that comes off the size requirements of the neutral. Also I think but I am not certain tha ballanced 110 loads do not use the neutral either, in other words if I have a 75 watt lamp on one hot leg and a 100 watt bulb on the other hot leg the net...

    Power, cat 5, Coax & phone in the same trench?

    I have a sheet from the county building department showing "service conductor size" as #2 aluminum for 100 amp service. It does not specify neutral sizing one way or the other. I went back to the electrical supply place today, asked them about the neutral leg, they say the undersized neutral...

    Power, cat 5, Coax & phone in the same trench?

    Is that code natioonwide? That is what the electrical suply house sold me for 100 amp service, I would asume they know their buisness but you know what asume does, The neutral only has to carry the unballanced portion of the load so smaller makes sense to me,

    Power, cat 5, Coax & phone in the same trench?

    The 1 1/4 was a PITA, I had to pull it through the straight part than put on the elbows, it was the only size they had enough of to make the run. I am running regular cat 5, I already have a spool of it.

    Power, cat 5, Coax & phone in the same trench?

    hmm, 100 amps of 220 is 2.2KVA, If I am reading that right that puts me just barely in the 12" group Reality is I'll probably never actually have 100amps so I should be OK with 6, thanks for the info, I may make my trench a bit deeper in the morning, maybe put the power at 24" and the data...

    vibrating mower

    could the new blade be out of balance or possibly not centered on the mount? I have bent an s-load of blades but never a shaft.

    Small engines: is the priming bulb supposed to be full of gas?

    the primer bulb should be mostly fuel, check the lines they get old and start cracking. replace with tygon. there is a fuel pump in the carb operated by pulses from the crank case, the diaphragm in it can can go bad also.
