Re: Carbon Monoxide used for public health
@pecmsg ...we were one of MAYBE 5 Irish Families on the New side of How'beach....many fistfights...especially on St Patricks Day..... We played Lynvets Pop Warner Football against eachother, Ozone-Howard LL Baseball, Saluggi, & kill the carrier in the asphalt school yard.
We had sleepovers, BBQs- and Sunday Macaronis together…We also had fistfights atleast once a week...with our friends!!! Great neighborhood to grow up in...very safe...NYPD was rarely called...we looked after eachother... Wiseguy or Law abiding...we were a tight neighborhood I miss those days....Mad Dog
Re: Carbon Monoxide used for public health
Very easy to get the rat population under control....$25 bounty each carcass.....just like the phyton problem in the Everglades...ordinary people will solve "intractable" problems for $$$. Just get out of their way.
Aside of employing that approach, this is a solid idea....Mad Dog

It also helps keep it out of the weeds, grass blowing and dogs peeing.

A shop vac is good for removing water from low spots too.

Re: Modern hot water radiators - what do I need?
You've drawn a 2-pipe, direct return system and if you're willing to do the work, it's a good choice. However, if you change it to an indirect return system, it will self-balance, with or without TRV's.
Does anyone still install Monoflow systems? Such a PITA to purge.
Re: Old HP system failed: new refrigerant choice? new equipment reliability?
could always buy it now and hang on to it. not sure what is going to happen that requires refrigerant though other than a leak.

Re: Central A/C refrigerant leak - 12 year old Lennox system
leaks are easy to find. Cheap well that depends on where they are and how long between charging.
leak Stop sorry but I don’t approve!

Re: Who owns who?
Does it really matter who "holds" the company?
Have you seen the depth of the Milwaukee tool catalog recently? Years ago they were know mainly for Sawzalls and angle drills. Same for Dewalt.
The capital that the big player bring to the table allows for a lot of R&D, new product development and global markets.
Power tools will take the same path as appliances, designed to be a 10 year or so product. Not like my grandads SawZall and circular saw which I kept running for 30 years!
