11h	comment	Will I lose water pressure going from a 2“ pipe to a 1/2” pipe then back to 2"? Going from a 2" pipe to a 1/2" pipe you're loosing almost 95% of your cross section. There's definitely going to be flow restriction. Not to mention the increased length from running the water through a heat exchanger coil or whatever you have set up.
1d	answered	What's causing the popping noise from my speakers?
2d	comment	What should I look for when diagnosing electrical circuit gremlins where load is much less than capacity? This is very interesting. Do you have any general tips on how to replace a capacitor? Obviously every TV / monitor is probably different, but where do you start?
2d	comment	How do I wire up a saeco magic deluxe coffee grinder to be a standalone coffee grinder? I just plugged it into a Kill-a-Watt meter, which measures all kinds of fun stuff, including watts and kWh. It's super useful.
2d	comment	How do I wire up a saeco magic deluxe coffee grinder to be a standalone coffee grinder? I was just saying that I measured mine at 25 watts, so you're in the right ballpark.
2d	comment	How do I wire up a saeco magic deluxe coffee grinder to be a standalone coffee grinder? I think you're on the right track. I just measured my standalone coffee grinder and it uses 25 watts, so ~12VDC on a 2A fuse is totally plausible.

May 17	answered	Is it possible to vent two exhaust fans through a single wall penetration?
May 16	comment	How can I open a desk drawer that is jammed closed by the stuff inside? Shaking almost always works for me, especially if the drawer is full of lot of little things.
May 16	comment	Should we use A\C in the unused second story of our home? I guess you're right that if you expect the temps to be over 100 for long periods of time that might be bad. But I seriously doubt that drywall and floors would be bothered by temps in the 90s. I'm from New England where AC is nice but not ubiquitous, and lots of upper floors get quite warm in the summer.

May 14	comment	How do I prevent doors on a media cabinet from sagging? OK, that's what I thought. You will not save any weight by splitting the doors into top and bottom halves. You're only making more work for yourself.

May 13	comment	How do I prevent doors on a media cabinet from sagging? I guess it's a little ambiguous what @Tango means by "splitting the doors vertically". I assumed that each side would have a top half and a bottom half, which doesn't save you anything . But you're right, having left and right doors is clearly less weight than one big one like a doorway.

May 11	comment	When is it time to replace the roof? I'm not an expert, but if you find shingles in your yard, doesn't that mean there are shingles missing from your roof? Isn't that bad?
