    wall mount thermostat controlled propane heater

    someone was asking about a vent free propane wall heater a while back . This 10 k btu one has a mechanical thermostat- no electricity required at all. Not 110ac, 12 dc or batteries. Even the igniter is piezo. Costs a bit more than a buddy, but you can set your temp wherever you want. Found it in...

    4x4?

    I helped convert a caddy stretch loimo to 4x4 one time for an advertising gimik for an auto body shop. sat on a lifted 3/4 ton custom stretched pickup frame. 35" gumbo mudders and a snow plow to boot. Nah, not practical at all, but lots of fun to ride around in! For real though, i live in...

    great deal i think

    Willey, i read the review, interesting only one companys info was used, mainly in favor of plywood, which costs 30% more. As a building product, osb is fine to use, has off gassed in weeks, and flooring varities in the 5/8 to 3//4" range carry a 50 yr warrenty- FAR more than comparable plywood...

    Absorption cooling dometic fridge

    yup, mine draws 8 amps.My 45 w solar system slows down the draw, but doesnt negate it. Even in full sun, the battery will go dead in 14-16 hrs. propane is the way to go when parked, or 110 if available, or a much larger solar setup and multiple batteries.

    great deal i think

    4x8x7/16 osb is $6.99-$7.99 @Lowes and HD. 2" foam insulation was $20 a 4x8 sheet last time i bought some ( a few years ago), so not really sure it is a good deal or not. Osb has no more glue than any other plywood, it is just manufactured differently. MOST of the time, there is several weeks...

    92 Dodge Ram Conversion Van

    There ARE some vans with a dropped floor. Most notably, Pleasure way, Leisure and some of the 70's Dodge Tradesman conversions. But those were factory conversions, and, unless you had access to a pretty serious body shop and lots of cash, impractical to install after the fact. So, unfortunatly...
