John, I had good results with www.copsplus.com.

I appreciate what TIJ is. What a valuable community. Great job guys!

Yes, it's good to see them come and it is good to see them go. The migration is always to look forward to.[:-hspin]

Oops. There's another acronym.

I believe NEC adopted luminaire 2002.

Hope not. Acronyms are great when everyone knows what you're talking about. Can't learn much when you're confused by them. There is a difference in the acronyms showing up on message boards and the "official" acronyms for trade related parts. From an inspectors standpoint, I think it is beneficial to know parts by both.

When I read that I thought of this picture. Then I realized that my picture is actually a "sun dog" or "parhelion, not a "snow dog"! So tell me, were you meaning "sun dog" or "snow dog". I couldn't find any references to "snow dogs" other than the movie and youtube videos of dogs playing in the snow! Curiousity compels me to ask! Here's the full story on my sun dogs. Jodi: Ice Melt in tights? Huh! When I first went to work at Old-House Journal, I caught the job of answering reader questions via the phone. Well, don't you know, some Yankee woman called up asking about "snow dogs." I covered up the mouthpiece and asked everybody in editorial: "What's a snow dog?" When they quit laughing, they took turns telling me that snow dogs in Yankeeland are those upstands usually found on sheet-metal roofs. Apparently, they cut the snow into sheets, so it slides off in chunks that aren't big enough to kill a person.id="blue"> Or at least that's what they told me. Coulda been a snipe hunt, I guess. I was going on the theory that snow dogs were something like sled dogs. WJ They are refered to by different names. I always called them snow birds.

Not trying to encourage or discourage the Sun Nuclear, but what are the thoughts on E-perms?

Lopi Leydon stove and 22' of Simpson Duravent; about 4000. Add in cost of modifications to existing ceiling, roof and hearth area. I am very happy with mine. It works great!

The two largest areas of energy consumption in a home are space heating and domestic water heating. Any inefficiencies in these two areas will be highly magnified when put into regular use as compared to occasional use. Summer or winter vacation home? A lot of older summer vacation homes/cottages were not built with winter time energy usage in mind.(Speaking from the Northeast now.) How well insulated is the house? What type of windows? How tight is the house? When was it built? Electric resistance heating plus large older home can easily equal 500 monthly during cold weather.

I pick answer c.

C 4 might be the best solution sometimes.

Through the ceiling would also be acceptable if there is an open attic above.

Two 5" openings would also work, one within 12" of top and one within 12" of bottom of enclosure: if ducts are verticle.

It depends on whether you are using one opening or two openings. One opening being more restrictive.

Seems unnecessary to me. Maybe a phobia about bacteria? Turn the water heater to highest setting to keep tank clear of bacteria and then temper back to safe temperature. Just a thought...

Jeff, is this a pop quiz?

From the VSI installation manual.... Eaves Treatment The last course of siding may be cut to fi t the eaves opening (Fig. 47). Measure from the soffit to the base of the upper lock on the previous course of panels. Subtract 1/4’’ (6.4mm). Mark this dimension on the panel to be cut, measuring from the bottom edge of the panel. It is a good idea to check the dimension in several locations along the length of the wall. Using a snap lock punch, punch the vinyl siding along the cut edge every 6â€

http://www.vinylsiding.org/publications ... nual%2Epdf VSI siding installation manual. Look at page 26. I have to admit to putting color match stainless trim nails in at the top on occasion, when things are not text book. I hope you're not looking at roofing nail.

Got a topo map?

15 square inches. That's 1 square inch per 4000 Btuh. 30 inches if by horizontal ducting. Seems a little drafty doesn't it?

Hook up a scanner and read the codes..... Or just cover it with black tape.

A furnace with dimensions of 20w x 22d x 36h would need 440 square inches of space.[^] ??
