Maybe I'm just wrong. Maybe it holds cold as well as heat and I'm just ridiculously HOT.

We will see what will happen in the next 24 hours.

I have a few random things left to improve and a few things left to bring it up to code.

1. Kitchen cabinets and floor.
2. Garage door
3. Central A/C

Bringing it up to code, I'm halfway there, maybe past that. I have the list. Haven't reviewed it lately. Lowe's says $395 for garage door installation. The house is Central A/C ready... everything is here except the unit and lines to run to the furnace. (THANKS SELLERS!!!)

How am I supposed to know if the walls are insulated or not? Knock a hole in the wall?

And hmm, now I know why your house looks so "new" inside... this place hasn't been touched since 1947! The only thing I can think of is the kitchen floor...

Marlon...check and see if you can get an energy audit. They have a program here where it only costs $50, they checked everything and had special offers for insulation etc. Ours was through AEP.

Stone lab is in Put-in-Bay...on its own island 100yards from the bars. The perfect place for me.

This house can hold HEAT all day.

But will NOT hold cold. Even during the winter, would hold heat all day long! The furnace kicks on, heats the place, then after the temp is up... even IF the furnace kicked on again, it was only on for less than 5 minutes.

I need A/C. Dunno how much longer I can wait for it. I will be calling HVAC experts very shortly. Like after July 1st.

With that said, back to the garage...

New door next month too. Lowe's told me $900ish installed.

... and my mom wants to know when the meet and greet is. She says she's ready to cook. I am ROFL.

You could always find yourself a big old used window unit to get ya through. :pepper:

Yep companies can do blower door tests where they seal up the doors etc and it will show any leaks around windows and doors. Also shows where there maybe "hot" spots where more insulation is needed etc. Also look in the attic areas ( behind the knee walls )to see how much insulation is there. Brick homes are harder to blow insulation into the walls but it can be done. You can also get machines from places like Lowes etc to do it yourself. Its pretty easy really with a couple of people

Chris and Hart...... :goink:

Hart likes to fish, but not eat. I hate fishing, but love to eat them....He can catch, I will eat :mrgreen:

Bob, those are some nice fish. I caught a 31", 11 or 12# Steelhead in michigan back in '92, biggest fish I ever caught. I did enjoy that fishing trip for the week, but couldn't do it on a regular basis.
That trip was the craziest weather change I had ever seen. 50* in the morning, within 30 mins, temp drop 15-20*, beach we were on was instantly covered in a layer of the small snow pellets, then in about another 30-45 mins, temp was back up to 50* and all melted. Never seen anything like that and I thought Ohio weather was crazy.

Googled "Knee Wall".

Now this is starting to make sense.

Looked in those before.

There's insulation for days behind there. Weeks and years maybe. Also some curtain rods, a Christmas tree stand, a cardboard box that says "Kitchen Stuff", with no kitchen stuff in it, and a wooden box all the way over in the back. Not sure what's in it... didn't grab it so I could look. Scared I guess. I don't like small spaces.

Call me crazy but I have a theory now.

I have a window fan upstairs... it's been on for well, two? weeks now. It's keeping the 2nd floor from turning into a sauna and is working quite well. Could THAT be the reason why the 1st floor is so dang hot now? Before the window fan, the 1st floor was a cool place to be... now that's the sauna and the 2nd floor and basement (freezing down there) are decent places to be.

Sorry should of explained "knee wall" :wink:

Do you have the fan sucking air in or pushing air out?
Older homes I owned / lived in I would open all the windows at night to bring the cooler air in
during the day close them to keep the heat out, helped some
The last place in Toledo the upstairs was a hot box in the summer, west side wall, no trees, almost unbearable at times

Keep reading ..........................FISH
dang have to go find some now

Stopped in Diversified Four Wheel Drive today
They may know how to lift a Wrangler with the "super easy bolt on kits"
but no clue to anything else
Salesman said he'd never seen a lifted Liberty and they never have any requests to do them. :shock:

He wondered what 4 Wheel Drive shop I had it done at.
Told him there was a guy out in the Swanton area where people come from all over to get theirs lifted. His reply " you mean people actually do lift these ? "
Oh he was also looking up the Kilimanjaro Edition in his book and couldn't find it :-)r

What all does it take to swap a 241 out of a rubi into a 04 KJ with a 42rle? besides the t-case..

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jun 27, 2013 5:52 pm

Thats about it, should bolt right up , only thing if i remember right is the shifter will be backwards
In other words while in 2 wheel drive it would be where 4 low is currently
Other than that :JEEPIN:

find two, I've been looking, passed up one for 500 a few months back and still kicking my self

Jeeper4life · **Posted:** Thu Jun 27, 2013 5:54 pm

From what I have been looking up, did they put a model 241 t-case in the KK's and just didn't put 4:1 in it?

*edit* page 700!

The guy would have stroke if you showed him a pic of a nicely attended M&G or trail run with every KJ being lifted... :ROTFL:
