Chimney fires are no joke.  They'll burn your house down almost as fast as a dryer vent fire.    That said, I'm not sure how the fire could burn out of control unless the stove has a big air leak.  Most stoves I've seen have manually adjustable air inlet vents in the front and a damper for the flue.  Close the inlet vents and the fire gets little/no air so it dies out.  The flue damper can be adjusted to help limit air flow and try to prevent all the heat from going up the chimney.  A stiff breeze across the top of the chimney can increase the draft and literally suck the air out of the chimney, which can cause the stove to burn hotter than you might otherwise expect.  It all about balancing the air flow in/out. 

No alcohol in the dorms...   :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:   You desperately needs some mostly neekid girls on the walls.  It is a dorm after all.      I was also fortunate to have a dorm-mate not show and get the room to myself.  After that, I started making up weird reason of why I needed a single room.  It was nice.    You at WKU?  My S-I-L & B-I-L went there. 

The walmart here rarely has the big bags of seed.  I typically go to TSC for bird seed.  They almost always have the big bags, they also have the biggest bag of safflower seed I can find (10lb).  And it's an excuse to go to TSC, as I occasionally find other stuff I "need".  :)

I'm not a UT fan but my wife is. Mostly I'm pissed because I was well on my way to getting lucky last night, and then they found a way to lose yet again. No nookie for me. Dammit.

HA!

Look at it real closely with a 10x magnifier and a good flashlight. It could be a seam but it's probably just a machining mark... dull tool and/or sloppy transition. If you can't decide visually, put some penetrating oil on it and let it sit for a bit. Wipe off the excess so it looks clean and dry. Then give it a few hours and see if any more oil has oozed out. You could also put a torch or heat gun to it and see if any bubbles or smoke appears.

Are you concerned with that transition in the barrel?

Bummer on the clutch. Hopefully you're on your way home by now. I wasn't too far from there about an hour ago. Glad at least one rider stopped, it's pretty crappy at how many ride on by.

That's awesome!  Where'd you find it?   edit... here:  http://www.tiggerwelding.com/home.html

Beautiful.  I'm gonna have to make a trip out there before too much longer. 

Cool setup strick. Was that for a particular promotion?

The shape is entirely wrong, very difficult to defend an oval.  Plus with a 3 mile perimeter and 30 people, you'd only have one person about every 500 ft.  An area that big could probably support 500 people. 

    Yes, but how much of it do you believe? 

The 440 rd spam cans are about $100 these days. Being brass cased, I'd assume this would be worth a bit more. On second thought, that stuff is very dangerous. You should send it to me for immediate disposal. ;)

Put a glob of 15 mi epoxy on a dowel. Stick it to the tip and let it cure. Once it's cured, squirt some penetrating oil in there and pull it out.

As a former band geek, nice!

Intersting indeed.

Having seen your thread, google's not set up for sharing like that. You need a more purpose built photo hosting service like photobucket or smugmug.

Yes. I've gotten that error too. The URL needs to end with jpg, gif, tiff, or other common photo extension. If you're doing "copy image location" straight out of the image search, try clicking "view image" and then copy the URL.

I looked at it yesterday and it won't work as a rain barrel. While the axle is molded in, the support bar across the front isn't so it'll only hold about a foot of water in the bottom. I'm kinda liking the dry firewood storage idea.

As far as getting loans goes, sometimes having fair/poor credit is better than having no credit. The only thing I've ever paid interest on is my house. While I'd loved to have paid cash for it, the idea of just writing a check for $150,000 or more is a bit tough to comprehend. The $50,000 check I wrote was painful enough. :)

The custom knives made here aren't far from that price range.

East TN is a rain forest. The southern Appalachian Mountians are a temperate rain forest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachian_temperate_rainforest

The aquarium sits perpendicular to the existing joists and is 5 ft wide. I sandwiched two 8ft 2x8's perpendicular to the joists and attached them under the existing joists with hurricane ties. I used two 4x4's centered 5ft apart tied to the 2x8' with the appropriate Simpson brackets. The 4x4's are screwed to pieces of treated 4x6, which have plastic between them and the ground. The only thing I had to buy were the 2x8's, the rest were leftovers from other projects. I cut the 4x4's pretty tight. I had to drive them in with a mini sledge. I wouldn't use concrete stepping stones unless you could stack a couple up. I'd be afraid they'd crack. I suppose the proper thing is to use the pre-made concrete post supports, but I had 4x6's laying around and they're rated for ground contact.

That's a great site. I found that when I was getting ready to install our aquarium. It sits about 12" from a load bearing exterior wall, but I put support like this directly under it anyway, just because I'm anal like that. It wasn't the easiest thing to do in my 30" crawlspace, but it was a lot easier than fixing it once it's sagged.
