You could tie the motion sensor into the soundtrack from the movie; ...

I service the fire alarm systems for Microsoft here in the Seattle area; one site (a 200,000 sq ft server farm) uses a flywheel to bridge the time gap between utility loss and generator start. The...

Cedar is naturally bug and rot resistant. If you can afford it, that's the ticket.

This is the system I'm waiting for (probably for awhile), when the price goes down..

It uses a stirling engine, about the size of a dishwasher, and almost silent. ...

Use a board ft calculator (available online); a truck can haul about 5000 BF of Western Hemlock, according to my guy; confirmed by a couple others.

Holy cow.. $450 per square foot gets you an unfinished interior, no heat, insulation, interior doors, wheels, nuttin. :? There's a sucker born every minute.. I recently downloaded an audio book...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the tax incentive kicks in only if it's professionally purchased and installed. I hope that's not the case.. Very cool purchase!

I love so-called "expert" opinions. All the things you have mentioned are either impossible, prohibitively expensive, will ruin the logs, or cause halitosis. :evil:

Sun (UV) will...

An analogy comes to mind. If you're standing in the dark, construction knowledge wise, a two day class is like a flashlight that enables you to find your way around. The "years" of education in the...

I first noticed the chinking job; fabulous! It looks whiter than the stock mortar recipe; it's also perfectly adhered to the top and bottom log. Do you know if that's a redone mortar job, or a...

call 911 and tell them you smell gas; the gas company WILL come out.

Yeah, I had a heck of a time getting the nuts to start on 'em..<img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_107.gif' border=0>

What use are you contemplating?

The log cabin I lived in for 5 years in Funter Bay, AK had moss insulation in the floor and ceiling. It was still there 50 years later (behind shiplap to keep out critters). I've started a few...

Yes, I have seen them designed and used on the web; sorry, I can't remember where; it's been over a year since I found it. Stainless steel coils, thermosyphon into a tank, then a heat exchanger...

That's one heck of a windmill, bud.. I'd use a laptop if you're going to have hinky homemade power, at any rate. That way, when the inverter trips out for whatever reason, you don't have to reboot...

BUMP! $38 for 700W surge low enough for ya?

Yep, it can be backer rod, but the taught method is to use fiberglass to pack the gaps between logs. I'm not sure yet what material I'll use. The reasoning and methods are covered in the class. ...

I've not heard of anyone hiring it out, but for $5.00 per foot, I'll quit my job and fly out to wherever you are! :wink: In my limited experience, you can chink about 1 foot per minute, including...

Sparky: I believe I used www.heatload.com but I also I saw this one, not sure if it's good or easy (you've gotta be one or the other, ya know...) :twisted: An almanac or the Weather Service site...

I plan on getting general liability insurance for the project AND a hold-harmless agreement through an attorney. I'm no lawyer, but if I understand correctly, no hold-harmless will withstand...

Quote for today: "What you need for invention is imagination and a good pile of junk!" or "Why, I have not failed! I now know 1000 ways that it (the light bulb) won't work!" Thomas Edison..

$6500 for a gas furnace? RUN AWAY! I learned this trick from an elevator conversation with a HVAC salesman. I went down to the local Carrier warehouse, asked for their "scratch and dent" section,...

I saw this at the Seattle Home Show last year, several sizes were available. I would burn anything! Had gas/propane/electric backup, and a large water mass to absorb fast fires. Pretty cool - you...

Welcome, Emily! You seem to share many of the ideals of this group; hard work, hope, and perseverance will get you there. Please allow me to get a little philisophical and share my favorite quote: ...

The Forest Service allows 10K Bd Ft per resident per year, green timber of any species, anywhere in the Tongass Forest. Hoonah has 75% Western Hemlock and 25% spruce, but Thorne Bay, nearer you, has...
