  1. With computers and electrical systems in cars these days, this is something I wouldn't mess with. So...you get what you pay for and if it costs more then it's gonna be done right. After market, Quinn Security is, by far, the best on the market right now. They are pricey, but they know what they're doing and they won't mess your van up while doing it.

     

    Get one...seriously. My Outlook has one on it (first vehicle I've had) and, although it sits most of the time in a warm garage, I love it when I can sit in a restaurant and start it up while I'm waiting for the cheque and have a warm car to dash to. They are worth the $$.

     

     

    Yeah, I know what you mean when you talk about all the wiring in new vehicles. We bought a new Honda Odossey in June and I have to consider all the bypass options for power this power that.

     

    Thanks

    Will look into Quinn.

  2. My bike wreck

     

    lost 3ft of small intestine (but they took appendix at same time)

    huge hole open in my stomach

    broke leg, wrist, 6 ribs

    Major concusion

    buggered up my right knee

     

    and when I was a kid (5)I was playing with my Grampsies golf club(1w) and an older kid grabbed it Smashed me in the face with it and ran that was

    83 stiches in lip gums and upper pallette (luckily my aunt was a OR nurse and had a Plastic surgeon meet us at hospital, that is why so many stiches) lost the tooth permanently.

    Wow!!!! Did little !@#$%^& johnny get what he deserved when his folks found out????

     

  3. The click on your humidistat may be accurate to within 1/2 a percent or accurate to within 90%. They are typically cheap devices that are out of calibration drastically. Try checking it with a half decent humidity probe or take it out of the duct and measure it against a known humidity. You may have received a crappy one to when the unit was installed.

     

     

    You should check with your building codes department about this.

     

     

     

     

    You should have two ducts coming in from outside. One for your combustion air (the Hoyme damper duct) and another duct that is connected to the return air plenum of your furnace. I was asking about the one that is connected to the return air plenum of your furnace. What should happen is that when your furnace starts the fan will draw air from both the return air grilles inside the home as well as from the duct that is connected to outside. The air from outside serves as a source of "makeup air" for all of the air that is exhausted out of your house by the exhaust fans.

    Could you pm an email address and I will snap a few pics to show you the furnace room.

    Thanks

  4. Hi Weedy

     

    Some good points indeed. Thanks.

    The humidity # I quote is based on the click I get on my humistat control. Only accurate within 5%. Might have to look at a measuring device.

    Will look in attic tommorow for insulation blocking soffit.

    My furnace does not turn on when any exhaust fan is running.

    Vents should be good but, will revisit.

    My fresh air supply for furnace is ducted to a controled hoyme damper. No heat exchanger.

     

    Thanks

  5. Not sure what it could be then...I like the sound of that Hoyme Damper. It tends to get a little colder in my basement because the furnace room is not insulated...could be the thing. How much did it cost you to put in the damper?

    I

     

    The damper seems like a can't miss! On most furnaces, there is the BUCKET where the fresh air intake is supplied for the furnace. Put your hand there or better yet check out the ice on it when it is 20 below. Drafty and cold!!!!

     

    The Hoyme replaces the bucket and only allows air in when the furnace calls to fire up.

    I bought mine at Wolsey ( sp.) for around 200 bucks. Installed myself in a half hour. You need to wire it into your thermostat.

     

    Very basic. Google or PM for more info.

  6. If you're running 50% humidity in these temps, it's way too high. The link below has some guidelines

     

     

    http://www.blueflame.org/datasheets/humidity.html

    I realize 50% is to high and this is something I already stated. It looks to me that with a family of 4 ( 2 little fishermen) and cooking, laundry, etc., we are putting a lot of vapour in the house.

    Much better the past 24 hours as it is only -12. NICE WEATHER!!!!!!

  7. I find that as soon as I see any condensation building up on the windows I turn my humidifier control down to the appropriate level for the current ambient temp and the condensation disappears after a few cycles of the furnace. My house is 7 years old with similarly energy efficient windows. Did you shut the water off to your humidifier as well as the power? If that doesn't work then maybe your furnace cold air supply is not sufficient to introduce dry air from outside. Just some thoughts...

     

     

    Hi Tim

    I did shut the water off and remove the tray, assembly, etc. I did not shut the power to the small motor as I turned the dial on the humistat to 0% and this should take care of that.

     

    Although I am not sure, I feel the furnace does get enough fresh air for combustion. I put a Hoymey Damper on last year on the reccomendation from the buys who last cleaned my ducts and furnace. It opens when furnace fires. Good invention some of you may want to look at.

     

    The hardwood is not an issuse as it is prefinished and has the natural lines between each piece. Only minimal movement around a few vent openings. The inside hunidity is probably around 50% which should be fine for the floor.

     

    It is a 2 story and the main floor is not bad. More of an issue upstairs. 2-3 degrees colder I assume.

     

    Playing the waiting game.

    Thanks all who replied.

     

  8. Wondering if anyone here has tried this as an option to lower house humidy. My house is just under 6 years old and I upgraded my windows to low E with Argon. Still have lots of ice and moisture inside the windows.

    Exhaust fans run, blinds are up a few inches, etc., etc., dissconect the humidifier on my furnace.

    When it is -30 maybe this is the best it gets???????

    Anyone use the dehumidifier and see a difference?

     

    Thanks

  9. Those are awesome.

     

    A women tells her husband that they need to start saving some more $$$$ so his nice little pasttime of cold beers and hockey will have to stop. To much money she tells him.

     

    So, this goes on for a while and hubby has no more beers with his sports.

     

    Then, one day, he finds a receit for 80 bucks worth of make up and fragrance and brings it to her attention. She, quite bubbly states that these are products she feels will make herself LOOK NICE for him. Hubby, in disgust replies, " What the hell do you think the beer was for?????"

  10. I don't think 5th in the conference one point behind 3rd and 4th... and having a game in hand on one of those teams... is "hanging by a thread"... despite the critisism in this thread, let's face it... the flames are playing pretty good as a team and they keep the losing streaks small. There a good team. I think they'll be in the playoffs and THATS when Kipper needs to be good. I think they need to play Curtis a lot more this regular season though.... look at Anderson for florida last night 41 saves in a 2-0 win over the Oil... that's a backup goalie playing his aZZ off for a spot (or a cheque) just like kipper did when he had solmething to prove. Put the backup in a LOT more... maybe Kipper will get pissed off too and I'd like to see himj angry and focused again... becuase right now he looks like a fat cat laying on the sofa in the sun.... that whole "who gives a rats ass" thing... if you can't see it I sure do..

     

    Hey Hawg

    Mt thread comment was not what you think it is. It was a reference to maxwell's "get your own thread" and it was a joke. I am sure he was joking and so was I. Some don't or can't take jokes.

     

    When a team allows more than they score it can't be placed on just the tender!!!!! And this is not a joke.

    Having # 33 signed for 7-8 million for the next 5-6 might be a good joke!!!!

  11. I will disagree with some things said here and keep in mind this is IMO.

    I own a Ford F150 XTR 5.4. Before I bought, I researched everything, just like I do buying anything the past few years. ( AC unit, LCD TV, ect....)

    My truck gets 500 km on a tank in the city. Not bad not great. The highway, and it seems you stated towing, is closer to 600 km.

     

    My brother has owned almost everything when it comes to trucks and SUV. He now drives a GMC and also owns a Tahoe. He had a Eddie Bauer expedition before the Tahoe and much preferred it inside and out. ( to many reasons to list)

     

    The 5.4 is a strong engine with a lot of torque. Important when towing!

     

    All the domestic companies are going through hell right now. Go figure!

    Ford has sold more trucks in the past 30 years than anyone. I know what the comments wil be here!!!! LOL

     

    Ford is known for producing one thing well...Trucks and that is it. 75% of their sales are trucks, SUV.

     

    I know the import argument and even bought a Honda Oddessey this summer. ( 2 kids) The van is awesome and I never considered Domestic here!

     

     

    Oh yeah
