    Kleen-Rite Unit?

    A. Milton, We were told by a structural engineer that the city would require both thorough soil testing & additional footings because of what Sparkey referred to as the attach to existing building technicality.

    Falling Icicle

    Based on experience, depending on the specifics ... I would tend to favor the side of long term caution like Mark Murra suggests. Since this is related ... has anyone increased their deductible amounts both on their specific policy's property & liability amounts in an effort to keep their...

    Kleen-Rite Unit?

    There seems to be a slight technicality in having more pressure & that is potentially upsetting the amount of chemical draw that will occur & the fact that some dog owners would rather have a more gentle pressure. I am wondering if the Aussie K9 units that KleenRite also sold as an option a few...

    G&G LED Lights - Feedback?

    Seattleguy, One thing that I found out by using an accurate light meter to compare around town ... is that not all fixtures LED & otherwise have the actual effective lumens or foot candles that they list on their specs. Something to consider is they might be listing raw before their lens or...

    Respond to BS Social media posts

    Do You Disable Low Pressure Functions During Extreme Cold, But Stay Open?

    Paul, We have some unpleasant memories of some pickup trucks with beds full of snow & ice chunks actually leaving a huge pile over our grates. We learned the hard way as to how long that takes to melt & how much it acts as a refrigerator for the bay ... among the blocking effect & other...

    Which Pressure Reg?

    Earl, It has been so long since we have had to buy one of those pressure regulator-unloaders that I am no longer sure but it seems like the best was J.E. Adams. I have memories during a period of time (over 10 years ago) where I needed to toss some different brands out because I found what I...

    G&G LED Lights - Feedback?

    Jeff L, We were looking for less long term maintenance. So far so good. We put them in three of our 6 bays 1.5 years ago. I know some will argue this, but they do give out more light than T8s with their enclosures. If I was in your area, I might :) volunteer (for free) with my light meter...

    Chaz, We can relate to the consideration of not just people in vehicles. Seeing people from all over now in our area & often walking ... we even got a real wild person who moved here from one of our big city ghettos who saw me walk & look around back where he & his buddies had their van...
