Cool idea. Arne Then I could put in a fire pole. I wanted one for ever. Steve Becker (_!_) $

Positive pressure buildings always have air leaving the largest openings and air only entering the smallest (usually filtered) openings. What you get is a very clean shop by not letting outside air in until you get all the goobers out of it. Sure big open garage doors are great in the summer, but a lot of gunk comes in there. A posi pressure shope helps keep the crud outside. When you are sweeping, you just crack the roll up a bit and start sweeping, all the dirt gets sucked out the crack in the door. Most buildings are positive pressure, especially office buildings with central air. But sheds and garages are typically ambient pressure buildings. Meaning that air is allowed to flow where ever it feels easiest at the moment. Some would say it doesn't matter, but I prefer to have a bit of control over the cleanliness of my workspaces. At least I know the mess is Mine. LaterZ Dash At 01:26 PM 5/18/00 -0700, Steve/Amy Becker wrote:

Wow, Now you want something useful... Whew... Tonight isn't good for that.... PUI and Honey just got home from class. Just about any search on energy efficient homes (many similar practices) will yield the Gist of what you need. As Sarah pointed out and I failed to mention. You push air in not suck it in. So you want a fan pushing air through a filter and into the space. My text (earlier post) about sweeping with a roll up.... The dirt isn't sucked out it is pushed out, more or less. Talk with any local HVAC guy and tell him what you are doing. Speak with a Mech. contractor as well. You can find some pretty large squirrel cages at a surplus yard, for a good price. I like squirrel cages because you can easily attach a filter and optional duct work. Rotary fans tend to be larger and bulkier for the same CFM. laterZ Dash

Well my wife is ready to pop any second, so i grabbed the cell phone and went riding this morning. I left the house at 4:30am to try to make it home before the kids woke up. Well I was not quite all the way awake I guess, because I crashed a few times, LOL. I broke my clutch lever in half, bent my front brake lever, put a dent in the OTHER side of my gas tank (I have a dent from last time on left, now a bigger one on right). I had a great time. I have a bruise that covers my entire calf. I made it home by 7am rode about 35 miles. But I did familiarize myself with the fire trails near my house and can't wait for the next time. I know which areas to avoid and I saw a place that I wanted to go but didn't have enough time. Dale A14 with 5700 miles
