    You guy may remember that last summer I gave up on Bell and switched providers.

    I had a 5 meg plan with them for $69/month. It was hit and miss on speed depending on the weather and would go down once a month.

    Now I'm on a line of sight type system beamed from across the road. I'm supposed to get 10 meg and often tests out at 15-16 but it really doesn't seem any faster. Netflix still buffers and the system has been down more than Bell was, sometimes for a couple of days.

    And the good news is I'm now paying $100/month.

    I called Xplornet and they said they could do better. I got a hold of their local service guy and he said they were maxed out for my area and wouldn't take me on.....lol

     

    My son got pissed with the new service and got his own with Bell.

    Same bs xplornet told us about having faster packages and then the local rep said the system was full in my area

    My brother was replacing a tunnel on a new 850 and I was shocked at how thin the aluminium material is my god the duct work in my house is heavier gauge material (mind you not aluminium) they sure aren't built for longevity anymore 

     

     

    I believe in this post it was referring to the " new 850 " tunnels unless another manufacture is making 850s now pull your head outta your ass man ! 

     

  3. The war birds were just being stored there for the winter I was told will be leaving in April sometime 

    I am not a plane lover but being there kinda made me want to take my kids to air show is summer

    Did you drop any tools on it?  :)

     

    I was very careful but was very worried about that take a few hvac guy pay checks to pay for that oops !  I will take a few more pics when I am back changing one of the tubes out. 

     

     

  5. Fixing the heat in a hanger today and there was some nice warbirds in for winter storage as well as some nice jets the name on one I saw was a citation mustang ? Know nothing of planes but it was pretty cool especially looking down on them from the 60 feet up in the boom !

    More breaking news .....

     

    We were talking to a guy at the Sneak Peak in MI that totaled 2 850 etecs from bulkhead damage from hits to both sides of the a arms on 2 separate occasions - Met him when looking at the stripped down 850 chassis at the show.. Couldn't believe how chinsey and thin the bulkhead is in places and how Doo mounts their A Arms to the die cast. No thanks Doo !

     

    Puzzle doesn't think the aluminium is thin we had a discussion about this in the classified section ..... lol still haven't got around to putting a micrometer on one

    So..... 26 gauge galvanized..... around .020", right? 

    You think a sled's tunnel is thinner than that?  I'd say you need to check your installation for a gas leak somewhere...... :)

     


     

    I will see if that old tunnel is around and I will mic it and let you know,  and whoa bud it's just a skidoo keep it together !   Lol

    I fabricated all my ductwork myself outta 26 Guage galv. I did say my ductwork isn't aluminium but I would be very interested in the guage they are using next time you are by one grab the upper foot brace on clutch side and check out the flex in it and push on sidmeof tunnel with hand very light material !

    If the motor doesn,t blow, the bulkhead will. All the doo drinking faithful pussies want light, so they are making them light.

  10. The whole thing looks staged to me but who cares did that save them 1 hour and 14 min ? I can see if the distance between 1st and 2nd was was minutes or even seconds.  The worlds is full of full of whiners if I was second place that wouldn't feel like a win but I imagine the purse would make me not care ! Lol

    Only an on/off switch and no extra wire ran. It's a Daikin thermo.

    The fan is on now and I can barely hear it so maybe it is just a low speed fan and nothing else?

    They can be set up in the furnace for speed selection when in constant fan mode then equipment takes control once unit is firing or cooling,  I worked at a carrier dealer when I did my Geo unit and went high end on everything that included there infinity stat which allows me to control humidifier, furnace, ac, and Hrv from thermostat stat with only four wires nice unit it also gives me control of fan speeds in constant mode low med or high.  

     

  14. just set stat one degree warmer and on average it will be right on the money !  Also a tighter differential will cause your equipment cycle more frequently.  I run my fan all the time when heating or cooling is required on low speed sometimes medium if the wood stove is stoked lol 

     

  15. Wow that's a lot of money, but I know what the going Rate for a furnace at a supply house is :ashamed: and most furnaces are the same general idea your paying for a name and warranty on them air conditioners generally all have Copeland compressors in them so really just paint colour after that.  

     

  16. Brother had same paint rubbing off problem as I did first year he had his sled took them off and had them powder coated white and theremin is not a mark them to this date and that was 4 seasons ago,  if I had to do it again I would powder coat maybe next year haha
