When we put an addition on our house in about 1975 we put in ceiling heat. Sheetrock with heating coils in it. Then, we never used it because it used an insane amount of electricity.

Yeah. That's pretty efficient. The heated concrete slab is insulated from the sub-floor. Learned a bit about that last week. Can also be combined with solar and/or heat pump for the water.

Yea, I can't say it ever made much sense to me either. For some reason in his house it seemed to work OK though. Then again, his meter may have been spinning at Warp 5 for all I knew

usually change the spark plug as well, normally it's about due to change once the carb starts fouling up... at least that's what i've done the last couple garage finds... so what does that say about your really long back in the day stories? Quote:
but that sounds like 2 of the last 2 new hires we had. the first daysliterally involved a lesson on turning a screwdriver. but talk to them about comic books, and they'll have more than 8 hours of material to discuss... they're gucci protected

My dad had a friend who had a house in Maine. It was a summer home that they used in the summer and rented it out in the winter. One month they got an electric bill for $8,000 and they were very upset. They called the electric company to dispute it and after some going in circles, someone asked "Do you have a heated driveway?" The were sure they didn't yet sure enough, they finally discovered what the switch to nothing by the front door controls.

Bay area, South bay to be exact. A bit North of where you were. Not central valley.
Most West San Jose schools when I was growing up there were built in the 1960's. I'm sure you remember the area? A mile this way from my house and you were in Los Gatos, a bit the other way you were in Campbell. A couple miles east and you were in a violent county. |
