Agree with both items. It would be nice if the AAD manufacturers developed a product where each rig could have a cutter installed and simply swap out the brain box between rigs. The rig manufacturers could build a "pocket" to hold the box. Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

Thanks for the heads up...I better do laundry in the morning! Gotta remember to take the trash out & do the dishes too... Any other helpful hints...I'm new at this! You're in a lose-lose.. Don't do the laundry, and she'll smell your naughtiness.. Do the laundry and that's such an unusual behaviour for a man that she'll know you're trying to hide something!! sprinkle on some gasoline and tell her you were working on the car, she won't smell anything but the gas

" ..................................................................... Yes, any instrument panel sufficient for "blind flying" would get him to Hilton Head Airport, but you still need a windshield to adjust glideslope enough to land on the runway. Even a minor error will cause a painful overshoot or undershoot. Except for the fanciest of airliners, IFR airplanes still have a "decision height" say 300 feet above the runway, when the pilot either sees the runway or aborts the approach ... not an option without a propeller. With an obscured runway, a long, wide, firm beach is a far better option for a forced landing, because it requires less precise adjustment of glide slope and you can see enough out the side windows. the beach in front of the Hilton was a good choice, they have one of the best beach bars on the island, we used to jump there on Thursdays Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

i know this is "old school" but i was making a point that his current system is under sized. ( i am a GC, used to build spec homes) yes, he should hire someone to do energy calcs (most people have no idea what a "heating day" is, what zone the are in, or what R and U factors are...i loved my thermodynamics classes. )on the house to determine the required heating and cooling....a required process here in california. if the addition was "permitted" i am surprised that this was not done. and yes, anytime you have 2 stories, or a spread out floorplan....split systems are more effective and you are able to control the heating and cooling more effectively. it might be undersized, even if it was right sized it wouldn't work cause the duct work is crap he is in Alabama, no permitting required for the HVAC duct extension, sadly this is the case in many states, buy a business license today and you are a Heating & Air Contractor tomorrow my neighbor has the same size house, same number of people, same windows, etc., T-stat settings are similar and his bill is 40% higher than mine - the difference is in the HVAC system Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

Billy - your situation is different than a normal replacement, send me a PM with your phone number, too many details for here in general - the main trunk duct should be sized to the air flow of the unit, the original duct was sized (hopefully) for the unit when the house was 1700, when the addition was installed they simply extended the duct - idiots, if you simply increase tonnage to handle the additional sq footage it will not work correctly and you will have other problems and waste money picture a water hose that is 1/2" in diameter 50' long, your water pressure is X, you know you need the water to come out at a certain volume and velocity to do the job you have, the existing hose works great now move the project 25' further away and add 25' of hose, the volume and velocity will decrease if the pressure stays the same, you can't simply add a larger diameter hose for the last 25', you have to deal with the whole 75' Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

you want to size the AC unit at 1 ton of cooling to 500 sf of livable space. Absolutely DO NOT do this, this is old school and is the worst thing to do. My upstairs has 1650 sq ft including a room over the garage. It has a split system heat pump: 2.5 ton outdoor unit and a 3-ton air handler. It works great: it is cool and terrific humidity control. It is all about the heat gain/heat loss. The calculation accounts for all relevant factors that impact the ability of the unit to control the space conditioning. Using the 1-ton per 500 sq ft would be the same as telling a 160 lb jumper to use a 150 sq ft canopy without considering other factors. WRONG.

saw the detail report on the news this AM, it will be an interesting case to follow one other driver "claimed" that shifting to neutral didn't work and that the car would not turn off if Toyota allowed an independent evaluator to have a copy of their software to read the blackbox that would had a huge amount of credibility to their claim as long as they have their man doing the investigation it will be tainted Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

the math is correct but there is no way that it will run 9 hours a day at 40A, that amp rating includes the heater coil, assuming the tub is insulated the heater won't run much, total cost in the winter is probably more like $40 - $60 a month Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

Uhhh - 30 years old, yeah it is way past time. If the unit is that old then your annual bill will go down at least 50%, probably more!! You need to find a good HVAC guy and that is hard to do. Have the duct work inspected to determine if it is any good. If not, replace everything and install a new unit. I'm assuming you have a 1-story house. Another option is to install a ductless mini-split to serve the master suite, and then a new unit for the original house. The most important thing is to have a heat gain/heat loss calculation done to determine the proper size unit. A unit that is too large will increase the bill. In your climate you need humidity control. On a 95+ degree day a properly sized unit will run constantly. That will remove the humidity, provide the best comfort and the lowest bill. If you plan to live there 5 or more years then get a good unit. Not York, get a Trane. Buy as much efficiency as you can afford, electric rates are rising. At least a 15 SEER. Your utility company may have a rebate and/or financing program, and they may know who the "good" dealers are. Do the research, this is a 15 year financial decision. Here's proof: 2800 sq ft, 2-story, 20 year old house, average bill is $116, highest bill was last month $220, and the climate you live in and the rate you pay is similar to mine PM me your phone number if you want more info, too much to include here Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

I'm with you Billy.... my house is 3500 sq. ft. but it is only a year old so pretty efficient. Still my bill is over $400.00 a month in the hot and cold months. Sucks don't it? Fucking greedy power companies! I work for one of those power companies. It is amazing how little 95% of the public knows or cares about how to manage their utility bill. They want to call and complain but don't want to lift a finger to manage the issue. Billy - if your unit is 10 years old or more, don't waste any money on it by changing a part. Buy a new unit and your bill will go down 20-50%. If you are running on emergency heat it is because 1) the unit is too small, or 2) the compressor is not working properly, or 3) possibly some other issue but most likely either 1 or 2. If the unit has ever heated the house properly then it is not too small unless you have added square footage or done something else to increase the heat loss. When you switch the T-stat to emergency heat you are turning the compressor off and are running on STRIP HEAT. You might as well go get some electric space heaters, they cost the same to operate. If the unit was working properly the strip heat would come on automatically when the temp dropped 2-3 degrees below the set point. If you have an old T-stat, remove the cover and blow out the dust.

Grrr.... That takes me back to the time I snapped the second lug bolt on a 1970 Barracuda, before I happened to remember hearing they had lefthand threads on one side of the car.

the AAD is OK, you were reading it upside down, it said MON for Monday, when you first get them you set up the day / date thing, that way the manufacturer knows when it went into service and they are very reliable (at least some of them), highly recommended (except for the ones that don't work right) Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

what the DZO might be saying is, as a first time jumper a tandem is the safest jump, because the student has very little control of the outcome, vs. other types of student jumps where the student has a much higher degree of control as for "safest for the tandem instructor", not sure I agree with that statiscally it is probably true, fatalities are rare in tandem and more common as a solo jumper, but that is comparing apples to oranges my ability to be safe as a TI can't be compared to the general safety of the skydiving community Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.
