Ok, I've heard a bit about these tankless waterheaters. So, here are
a couple of questions for those who have them.
1. Are they considerably more expensive than a conventual waterheater.
2. How do they work, I mean do they just heat water that is flowing
through them at the time so I guess
I'm sure there are a lot of folks out there who will like to get in on this

I don't own a tankless yet, but probably will before the year is out.
These are on-demand heaters. Technically, you can't run out of hot water.
Once they come up to temp, which they do pretty quickly, they will keep
supplying water at that temp until you run out of gas. *GRIN*

Here are a couple of things to consider.
If this is an older car and you are not too conserned about the finnish of
the paint I would go around the front and the sides and just give it a good
pop with the side of your fist. This should break up the ice.
If you have time you could go out with
Are you in a part of the country where the frozen condition
is a result of cold temperatures and moisture or is your
frozen condition a result of rust and corrosion?
Year, make model and approximate mileage would also be
helpful. Does the hood open from the front by the headlights
or from the rear
Hi Otis,
Try tapping the front of the hood where the area of the latch would be with
the palm of your hand,
This will sometimes dislodge the latch and allow for it to pop.
Don't be afraid to use some force on it, as it might take some force to
break what ever is keeping the latch from
Oh one more thing. Have some one push down on the front of the hood while
you try to pull the latch. What kind of car is this and can you describe
the latch inside the car?

Hi,
This is a 1998 Buick Century. The latch in side of the car is just a handle
that you pull to pop the hood. My step father just went out there and used
a screw driver to pull the latch that locks the hood to the side and the
hood popped open. But the handle that's in side of the car still
Hi,
We had the road side assistant people do that yesterday. He pounded on the
hood while my mom was pulling the handle to pop the hood.

Hi,
Yes it's below 0 here. I think the latch or the cable to help pop the hood
is frozen. There's no rust. It probably need oiling also.

As I said spray the latch mechanism with some lubricant and also make sure
you spray the cable where it comes out of the casing to try to get the
lubricant down inside the cable. Yu might want to do this several times over
the next few days . once you have sprayed it good,gently work the handle
I've decided to build some boxes that will be used to store CDs in a couple
cabinets we have. These will be simple, just a bottom, and four sides. I
think I want the bottoms and fronts and backs to be 3/4 inches thick.
Basically, I'm thinking about either 1x8s or 3/4 inch plywood. If I use
Hi All
The answers are at the bottom of this lot of questions.
Question 1: What is a tankless water heater?
Question 2: How does the Rheem tankless water heater work?
Question 3: Can it be installed in the same place my old hot water heater
was installed?
Question 4: Are tankless water heaters
Hi Bill,
If it is only for storing CDs I would probably use 1/2 plywood or even
3/8. I would also glue and brad nail.
If I was storing something heavier I would probably reconsider that choice.
I made a box to store my molding cutters and used 1/2 particle board for
the sides and glued an old
The one thing you don't want to spray on it is WD40, it is a
petroleum base product and it will attract dust from the
air.
There are a number of really good synthetic based spray
lubricants on the market and any of them will work well for
you.

Yes, you can screw into the edges of plywood for your CD boxes since there will
not be much stress on the butt joint. You also could simply glue the pieces
together with either yellow or white glue. You would need to clamp the pieces
for about an hour so that the glue would set up. then wait

As I recall you were working on putting in some type of tunnal in the back
seat of a car for extra batteries and I think a nytrace tank or some thing.
Wasn't it a camaro? Or was that the Elcamino?
So how did that ever turn out?
To listen to the show archives go to link
If you are going to screw into the edge do be sure to drill first. The screw
will force the laminations apart as it occupies space.
It can be helpful to dip the screw in glue so it doesn't pull out. This gets
increasingly more important as you go to thinner material.

Actually, the El Camino turned out better than I hoped. My

Auright I'm convinced, I'll use either 1/2 or 3/8 for the bottoms, fronts and
backs, and 1/4 plywood for the sides. So, now, can somebody give me some
pointers on gluing? Every time I do it, I wind up with excess glue oozing out.
I'm pretty sure I'm using too much glue, but it's hard for me
A suggestion comes to mind regardless of which lumber you use. If you cut a
rabbet in the front and back the end grain of the sides will be covered and you
can nail or screw through the front and back into the sides then you can slso
nail or screw through the sides into the front and rear.
Bill,
For me it depends upon the project and the finish.
If the project is something that will be stained my wife, like the paint
brush, won't let me near the glue bottle for the same reason that you
mentioned.
If it is something that will be painted or left alone like the box for my
molding
Thanks Ron. I don't think I have the tools to do this, but it's a good idea.
About all I have in the way of woodworking tools is a circ saw, a handheld
jigsaw and some hand saws. Do you think it would be possible to cut rabbets
with the tools I already have?
I think there's going to be a

Larry congratulations on the finishing of your project. I like Blind mans
bluff because it accents what a blind man can do rather than the worn out
notion of what a blind man can't do.
Since you are entertaining other names here is one that you may or may not
like but how about blind mans gruff.
Until you get some reall clamps I wonder if you could use a wratchet strap,
if you have one of them.

Sure you can cut a rabbet with a circular saw. It is a matter of setting the
