    Vacuum Recommendation

    I have had a Dyson 25 Ball for +6 years, use it three times a week, not one issue with it. The plastic is not cheap but very durable, and light weight, its bad when you have to swing around cast aluminum (extra weight) when it is not necessarily needed. I like that the roller brush has its own...

    Violent arrest of student.

    Kids are shits. Kids with no proper parenting are even harder to deal with and they usually have a careless F*** the world mentality. There is always two sides of a story, we only saw one side, and briefly at that.

    Walt Disney World

    Definitely book it through the Disney agent...the one we used was in OKC. She was great. She had a book ready for us with a list of must-see's and recommendations on everything. We spent a week there about 3 years ago. I felt that we saw everything we wanted and didn't miss out on anything. I...

    Need someone's help to chrono my RPG-7?

    ...yeah...I had to watch the video to be somewhat disappointed that dummy round doesn't fly through the air, but equally impressed of the 7.62 round firing out of it. Very cool piece to have for sure.

    Thinking about sod and sprinkler systems.... any thoughts?

    Go to Rain Bird sprinkler website, and print out there free layout form, you will need to plot out your lawn on it, and send it to them. They will run the layout for you and give you a shopping list if you so choose to use it. There is a large online retailer for sprinkler gear. I looked at this...

    laminate wood flooring?

    Getting ready to say the same thing for the flooring in my house. that is what they did prior to me buying the house. Laminate flooring holds up very well as is resistant. Insane the amount of wear and tear they can hold up too.

    Riding Lawn Mower Purchase: CVT vs Hydrostatic Transmission

    Over time that skid mark will turn into a nice worn step with grass and then you have a track you will always find with your tires when you mow. Once broken in, then you have little problem with ZTR on the slopes...lol.

    NASA Test Fires New RS-25 Engine

    HNNNNNGGGGG!!! So many questions...I could really annoy a NASA engineer right now! Not to mention the Civil engineer that designed that rig to hold that sucker back. 418,000 lbs of thrust @ 109% at sea level...my god!

    Home a/c went out - help needed

    I agree...my wording was fragmented and not aligned to what I meant to say, I was strictly speaking from the poster I quoted on replacing whole unit. There are manufacturers that still ship dry-condensers, as Rooster stated that with just nitrogen for field adding of R-22.

    Home a/c went out - help needed

    From a cost standpoint, I could imagine it would be better to replace. I know I wouldn't trust a solvent flush when switching between the two types of refrigerant. I suppose if you wanted to pay the amount for the flush, and trust that the flush was done properly and fully cleaned out, then...

    Home a/c went out - help needed

    Normally I would say that is the case...but since we are in the middle of cooling season, I have seen price differences if I could have waited during cooler months when the A/C guys are low on work. If you have an R-22 System...you have to switch to R-410A which means new copper lines...

Hell I am 30yo, and shouldn't be having trouble with my cognitive thinking already! I am trying to get some...

    HVAC problem (undersized unit)

    Well crap...it can be almost done for around 1000.00-2000.00 yourself depending on the quantity of bags and required additional inches. I bet you pay double that with a contractor. But for those who are not DIY and plan on sticking around there home, that 3000-5000.00 could pay for itself within...

    Are low oil prices helping or hurting you?

    Business sure has slowed down for me, and I am not tied directly to the oil industry. While I do sell and interact indirectly with those companies, I have noticed a decline in sales and projects.

    HVAC problem (undersized unit)

    Well I am a mechanical guy, so I can get the answers I need by finding out for myself. Not everyone is like that, and doesn't care to understand how an A/C system operates and that is fine. However, a set of refrigeration pressure gauges, and a temperature gauge (a thermistor or thermocouple...

    HVAC problem (undersized unit)

    If it were me, I would find out my delta t from the supply/return based on the type of system you have installed. I would expect around 15-20 degrees. That could mean your system is doing the best it can for the current conditions (outdoor/indoor). If the delta T were struggling, I would check...
