I've been pretty vocal about not getting to big of a saw for first time users. It sounds like hausfire has used his current saw enough to know that it isn't up to the task of finishing off a 38" trunk like he wants it to. I'm going to go with what Sawinredneck pointed out earlier Quote: 1) Have you ever cut up a 36" Oak with an 18" bar? I haven't. I have cut one up with an MS390 and a 25" bar. Even that...

Use the Taco isolation valve/flange combo. Webstone Valve makes a similar deal with a tee/drain valve attached. Cartridge change is easy, I would recommend keeping a spare around.

The thread belongs to whoever has something to contribute. Glad it had so many opinions, thats what its all about. : - )

This will run the blower only on the air handler when the owb thermostat calls for heat. And the heat pump thermostat will function normally. The owb thermostat is...

I guess every business has cheats & liars, but the wood products seems to be overloaded with them. Short loads, wet wood sold as 'seasoned', softwood at hardwood prices, rotting punky stuff. You'd think they'd all get weeded out, but I guess new ones just take their place. I only sell what I'd want to buy if the roles were reversed.

SA You will have to get someone else to verify that; it runs contrary to my...

My house is approx 3360 sq feet It is 100 feet from the house...Well, it is actually 96 feet from the house. I bought 100' of pex. Three feet out at the pad and 12" in on the foundation. The mounting plate was not large enough so I cut it and custom welded it to fit the larger heat exchanger. Not sure how many plates but I can tell you it was $700.00 My form stock was $500,the pad was 11 yards of concrete at $100 per yard. My wife...

For sure, they are a lot cheaper. What I was trying to say was that most of the splitters (with the vertical shaft) that you encounter do not have ANY type of support for the pumps. They just hang there. Those are the cheap ones and most people that work with them would consider them disposable. If you build some type of bracket for them, as long as supports it, you should be fine. My only concern other than that would be to use some type of...
