Yesterday afternoon I did get to pick up a 10 amp Toro blower / vacuum
combination. That second thing is the only reason I wanted the thing in the
first place. It blows up to 215 MPH and has a bag attachment to catch all
of the clippings. So I was able to make fairly short work of
Given the recent discussion on this topic yesterday I did take a quick and
more in-depth look at the new filter system that is now installed on my
furnace since the central air conditioning was put in here. I hadn't
noticed but the filter does have something like a plastic type of thing on
David, I'll let you borrow a 100 foot cord and then I will want to
borrow your machine in the middle of the night as it is this time of

him with 110mph of wind. Lee

Lee,
I designed the home for three zones when I had the house built. The plumber
had two zones in place when I went and checked the system. But that is
another story and I did get three.

I talked to a friend of mine who is truly an expert on heating and cooling

them. Guess it's time to start labeling these.

A friend and I were replacing the intake manifold gaskets on a Chevy v6.

We got it all disassembled, cleaned up and gaskets in place and the manifold
reinstalled. the valve covers were still off and the distributor was back in

I was listening to the handy show and Phil mentioned there was no way for a
blind person to tell which wire was the hot one. or rather what color a wire

The furnace is a 100K unit and the ignitor was going crazy and there was a

It took getting about $200 of parts replaced.
Also they said that the gas pressure was low. Turns out the oven repairman
I have someone tell me which wire is which on a new roll of romex then I

As I install the wires I use a continuity check and mark both ends of the

Sounds like a very workable plan for new installations.

We have a door between our house and lanai. To hold it open we have
been using a stack of chairs. My wife suggested I make a stop from
wood. So, after thinking about it, I took my rotomatic and roughly
measured about 2.25 inches between the bottom of the door and
floor. I found a scrap
This is very good information using blind techniques. it should be put on the

We could use a lot more like this.

John,
Kudos to you for your project!
All I have to add is that I NEVER get my fingers that close to the saw blade.
One rule that I never break on my table saw is: If the work is between the
miter slots and the blade, I ALWAYS use push sticks.
Congratulations to you!! Be careful.

Mickey, yep, I probably should have used a push stick. I didn't even
think of it.

I have a thought about how he could cut the angle for a door stop but I

I have a question about dubbing something from a VCR to my computer.
I have a patch cord, in other words, two RCA male plugs on one end, and a

I will also be using a VCR with RCA jack receptacles in the back, yes, this is
a hi-fi VCR.

Hi victor,
As max says,If you've only got a mike in port, yo're probably going to send
it into overload and get a lot of 'clipping' distortion.
But try it with the mike level set as low as you can and bring it
up slowly see if you can get a low enough setting to make it
work.
If not go to radio
That would work fine, probably 15 degrees. Trouble with cross cutting though
especially a relatively short piece is that the wood will tend to break
after a short time.
You can cut it along the grain but again you are getting your fingers a
