When you do plan out drains, I recommend planning for the boiler condensate. They produce more water than you might think and it works best to not have it run across the floor. I also don't like having the main drain wet all the time if possible. I ran a standpipe out right at the boiler and...

I have a few of those NDS drains. They are nice and compact for a clean look. The grates stay put and are still pretty easy to remove. My sediment issues came from junk melting off the vehicles. It is pretty amazing how much stuff is in those ice clods. I sweep the floors quite often, but...

@dfattack , Gotta love your plumber story. The lighter test sounds like the mechanic taste test. To the daylight drain question. I have one with a trap and one that is a straight shot. I've had the trap plug with sediment fairly often. Road debris/sand has been the biggest culprit with slow...

I like to install rows of outlets at varied heights around my work benches. I put one set under the work surface facing out. I recess them slightly behind the edge so they don't turn into knee clangers. I put another set above the benches to use on bench projects. I also have some hanging...

Sounds like a fun project with the planning of a new shop. I am not real clear on the intended use of the building. That is a large shop and I'm guessing you will get plenty of requests for help on bigger equipment. Floor heat is hard to beat. The ideas about adding lifts are great. Keep in...

The original price of $140 would have been pretty good this year. Belt prices went up quite a bit last season. The 084 is the harder version Cat belt. Are you running on an 800 motor? It also matters which chassis. Some of them were hard on belts when pushed hard. The Dayco can work with...

The trail is 109. I am not sure of the status for this season.

Absolutely doable. I would recommend trying to pick up the rentals and start early if possible. You already know the winders around the ski hills etc. Get those done early and get up to the gravy stuff when traffic starts getting busy. The ride gets super easy past Rockland. It's fun to get...

Good luck with that measurement. My right hand looks the same and all my gloves have a little flippy floppy left on that finger. Friend likes to rib me about the shorty. He says that it doesn't mean as much if I try to give the finger.;) Nora can give you a set of gloves and an "extra" gift...

Thanks for the link. I took the pledge.

I had not heard of this program. Does anyone know more about the project? It seems like a great idea and relevant to our sport.

@jime brings up a good point. It never hurts to do a quick check with your current setup wiring. It makes the swap super easy if you match the existing controls. I haven't done an ecobee, but most do have multiple options for wiring configuration. It is helpful to be able to see your current...

Thanks John. I'll have to dig into my settings. I see the image as you describe with that method. It goes to the 2nd error message before I can resize.

I feel an idiot trying to make the process simple without resizing in advance. Using a windows PC and photo editor shows message, while using the attach files feature at the bottom. It shows message, while using the insert image function on the upper menu. The image file is 2.22mb, although...

It is cool to even be thinking about snowfall. It seems like fall is hanging on to the warm awful long this year. I wonder if the snow will be finicky like the summer rain? (Fifty miles meant a lot of difference.) Those local snowfall reports could be a useful pre trip tool for the ol...

OK then. I take back my thoughts about inconsiderate and lazy in the name of progress. :giggle: Just to clear up some details, I'm assuming those old pm messages are going to show as mail messages at the top menu. I looked at mine and the old messages are gone. I wonder if the software is...

The news is tough to hear. Jgrams, our thoughts and wishes to you and your family. We did know your dad. We spent some great times with him as he showed us around the area in winter. It was a pleasure to spend time with someone that took joy in showing and talking about the area. We still...

I'm curious to see what you find. Do you have a full sun location? Also wondering about space considerations? Assuming the 30' is the length of the row? We have a small depth back yard that was nicely filled in with buckthorn and trash trees. It made a great barrier, but little usable yard...

I wish there was a simple answer. I call em clangers. Those rocks that glance past the skis at speed seem to do the trick. This one is Blizzer. I caught it early and bent the tip back a little with box wrenches along the trail. I didn't catch this one in time, so I flipped the tip and tied...

This view of the parking lot is basically what we have seen each time we passed. They must have rooms available.
