    Basement Finishing Questions

    One thing I'd add: Don't tie the basement HVAC to the rest of the house. Put in a separate heater (no A/C needed in the basement) with it's own thermostat. Or just a fireplace or stove.

    Chinese Arch, Spiral Jetty, Kelton, Russian Graves, Devil's Playground & Grouse

    Wow, a group that size and no one had plug kit or compressor... Great pics though, shame you couldn't make the whole trip. Now if you had been driving a Jeep, you'd have had several back-up spares :)

    Advice on purchase of a 2001 Ford Ranger

    Starter vehicle for my daughter, not so much for wheeling He's asking $3500/obo I can't afford a Taco, so this seemed better than most. If the documentation is in order then that's a plus

    New Toy

    Please read up on draw rates for acetylene and be careful. Acetylene is self explosive above about 15 psi so they dissolve it in acetone in the cylinder. If you exceed the draw rate for the cylinder (around 1/10-1/7 of the cylinder cu ft. capacity) then you risk drawing acetone into the hoses...

    powerful welder needed!!

    Put the work lead directly on the new mount that has been ground down to clean, shiny metal. This keeps the resistance lower and the arc voltage up for a hotter weld.

    powerful welder needed!!

    I'm available Friday if you don't find someone to do it sooner. You will have to bring it to my house in Draper since my welder is not portable. -Frieed

    You should see the video of the new Chevy 6.2 trying to pull 10k pounds up to the Eisenhower tunnel. Talk about lousy shift programming.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Ngaj4eG5s

    Trip Report: Goblin Valley, Ding and Dang, Capitol Reef

    I also have to remember how many attempts it took to get the rocks out of the stupid metal shields on the back of the brakes... I thought that screech was going to drive me crazy.

    Crazy violence

    Sorry Geepaholic As much as I agree with the gist of your statement, I absolutely abhor the concept of a hate crime. I disagree on one level because one can be charged with a greater crime based upon what you are thinking. Sorry, a bit too Orwellian for me. Mostly I disagree because the...

    Current Moab conditions

    Great pictures of snow on the rocks. I still kick my butt for not stopping to take pictures on the way back from Hole In The Rock this spring. It snowed the last night on the trail and on the way back the mesa's had snow half way up to the top, the dry washes near Fry canyon had running...

    SPOT GPS Tracker

    $10.97/mo after tax The biggest reason I got this was the possibility of snakebite. When travelling with a group, roll-overs, break-downs, etc. are surmountable. Couldn't imagine if someone had been bitten by that rattlesnake I found on the Wendover to St. George trip. 4+ hour to a town...
