Thats definitely a strange feeling, makes you wonder if it will come back fixed or with other problems. I dont like to leave mine out of my sight! :ROTFL:

Looks like you have some more garage time today.

How often should furnace filters be replaced?

First of all, you'll need to determine the kind of filter you need. If you have central air, use pleated, not hepa, your blower isn't sized for it. If you don't have central air, you can get away with the fiberglass ones. The exception would be if you have a high efficiency model, the one with plastic pipe for a vent. Then you're back to pleated filters.
The reason is that both air conditioning coils and high efficiency furnaces have finned tube coils in them. The fiberglass strands come off from the filter and lay across the fins and eventually will build up and act like a filter. Add the fact that the fiberglass filters don't stop very much until they get a little dirty. It wil make the upstream side of the coils look like carpet and it's expensive to have cleaned.
You don't have to spend a bunch of money on filters either. The least expensive pleated filter you can find will be fine. The $15.00 3M filters are a waste of money and the filter really isn't there for you. It's to protect the machine, usually.

Mines only been out of my sight a couple of times in its life and I don't like it.
Well besides being apart from it for a month at a time when I went to Tanzania.
I don't trust very many people but when you don't have the tools you have to turn it over to someone else
The guy I have checking it out found one bearing that was going bad, he thought I was nuts and was just feeling a vibration that wasn't there I think. He seems to know what he's doing, sits up diffs for racers in the area and has done it for 25-30 years so???
Staining all of the work benches today. Will have to build another garage to work in now won't want to get this one dirty :ROTFL:

Now time for the garage... I was supposed to have this roof already but it got delayed.

So look who's FINALLY getting a new garage roof!

Now for a new window and door...

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Apr 29, 2013 1:19 pm

New roof

and looks like a new down spout as well
looks like the bottom is missing ???
Keep that water away from the siding and foundation

Worked on my soffits this morning. Had some real small birds making a home out of one corner. So pulled out my ultra long/tall ladder "just to check it out" which turned into pulling boards and making a new soffit. I mean I had the ladder out and up right? :roll:

Dang things got REAL pissed at me dive bombing and one even had the nerve to ram me in the head while I wasn't looking :ROTFL:

Got it done and caulked in along with some other caulking that needed done while I was up there :shock:

Phewwwww now off to "work" to relax some :ROTFL:

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Apr 29, 2013 3:49 pm

Well once you get it up you may as well do something with it
I had two birds flying in the front garage door and out the back today, did it 3 times :shock:

Dang things were like the Air National Guard flying through there!
Jeeps back home :banghead:

Is your TV's screen cracked - or are those spider webs in the movie you're watching? :shock:

Let's just say the house's previous owners liked something more than boring off-white. They weren't afraid to experiment with extreme variations of "builder's beige", were they? :wink:

So Tom the Jeep's back home but not fixed...? Just wondering why the "banging-head-against-the-wall" emoticon.

Hart, seriously I'm tired just reading your posts. Plus I'm feeling guilty for not getting outside and working on the yard or house. I admire your energy and your skills - you are truly a "do it all" kinda guy.

Marlon, Ted gives good advice on the type of filters. Ever since our HVAC technician told me the same thing we've noticed a big improvement in air flow and actually a cleaner house too. We only use the cheapest filters that Hartville Hardware sells and I change them once a month. They're cheap and effective - the same thing my wife says about me :ROTFL:

I left out the frequency :banghead:

Change when dirty but check every month. There really isn't any reason to throw out a good filter. :2cents:

I kind of thought this box would be in a plain brown wrapper, and not advertising what I got ..................... :wink:

more done in the garage today, well a little bit more, workbench tops all stained ( except for a two foot section for Chris to work at) Couple more cabinets to paint and will be done with two walls

flowers are blooming nicely

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Apr 29, 2013 5:58 pm

Oh the Jeep,
well tore the rear end apart, one bearing was a little funky looking rest looked good , but replaced all except the axle bearings, gears look brand new yet, no wear at all on them.
All back together and still have a vibrations :banghead:

everything is in spec, everything looks and feels good
So.......now replacing U-Joints, if thats not it dig into the transfer case , rebuild / replace/ update everything as I go. The guy who's doing it even checked run out on the pinion etc all good no reason for it doing what it doing , but now I'm sure there is nothing wrong in the rear diff !

Spider webs in the movie.

I knew to check the filter once a month, but didn't know how often to change the thing.

Ya should of seen my father in action, he worked in his sleep and did it, what ever the task was, as if it was effortless and extremely professional. I have much to learn and do at a higher level. I just have the "oh well if someone is going to screw it up, it will be me. That way I know how well it's screwed up" sorta attitude. :jester:

Ditto on the filters but my issues is that my filters are HUGE and they don't sell the cheap one's for that size, that I have found. :roll:

Tom, maybe ya have a Beach Boys cd stuck in there on "good Vibrations" :shock:

Just came in from putting the first coat of poly on the interior trim for the back door. Maybe rebuild the other soffit tomorrow. Not really a soffit, end caps to the gables really. Then I have to "adjust" :jester:

the wall to meet the interior jams, gotta love lath and plaster :pepper:

Maybe I should go to bed :shock:

But first I must go say goodnight to the rest of the ultra smooth ultra fine bourbon my neighbor gave me some of :pepper:

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Tue Apr 30, 2013 2:38 am

Speaking of lath and plaster... Apparently I was wrong. Drywall here.
