I just noticed that I have a solar attic fan on my roof while inspecting my solar pool heater panels. It has been a bit over 80 degrees today here in San Jose, CA and I did not hear the fan spinning on this fan??????? I happened to see this same fan at costco (being displayed) and I saw that the fan was spinning etc.... Is my solar attic fan not working? what can I do to troubleshoot? thanks in advance |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, There will be a PV panel on top the fan cover or attached to the fan by wires. If the PV panel is in the sun, the fan should be turning. The PV panel must be in the sun for the fan to run -- the air temperature is irrelevant. If the fan does not run with the PV panel in the sun, I'd look for a loose connection, or something keeping the fan blades from moving. Does the fan turn freely if pushed with a finger? If its nothing obvious, then disconnect the PV panel, and with it in the sun, check it with a volt meter to see if it is putting out voltage. If its a nominal 12 volt panel, it will have an open circuit voltage around 17 volts DC if its working OK. If the PV panel appears OK, check and see what the motor voltage is on the nameplate. If its 12 volts DC, then you could hook it up to a car battery and see if it goes. Gary |
thanks for the response. what is 'PV' do I do the troubleshooting from the top (remove the top) or from the attic side? |
Hi, PV is photovoltaic -- its the panel that generates electricity when exposed to sunlight. It has to be in direct sun to generate electricity to run the fan. Gary |
Gary, I removed the PV and the fan was spinning. I made the mistake of assuming it was not working before removing the panel. It just happens to be very quiet. out of curiosity, being that I have had this solar attic fan since purchasing my phome, do they really make a difference? thanks |
Hi, Quiet is good :) The idea is that the fan reduces the attic temperature, and therefore reduces heat transfer into your home through the ceiling. There is a bit of controversy over the rather powerful attic ventilators -- some studies have shown that they pull air from the living space through small unsealed areas of the ceiling (like plumbing and wiring penetrations). This air must be replaced by air from outside, and you have to then cool this incoming air. The ones that plug into an outlet also use electricity. Search www.Soutface.org for the study on this if you want to know more. But, I think the solar power ones are good -- especially if the previous owner put it in for you :) If it was not already there, and you wanted to spend some money to reduce heating/cooling bills, I would: 1) seal all the penetrations for the living space to attic (wiring, plumbing, light fixtures, ...) -- according to the EPA this is the major cause of infiltration losses on most homes, 2) add more insulation (e.g. blown in cellulose), and 3) insulate and seal (with duct mastic) any heating or cooling ducts that go through the attic. I think that all of these give more bang for the buck than an attic fan. Gary |

Hello all swappers and swappees, and all potential swappers,
I think everyone will agree that we had another very successful Spring Swap! We had 19 RMG posters, along with a few guests, for a total of 25 people (and I think there were a few significant others who didn't sign in on the sign in sheet)! It was the largest attendance we've had yet—except for the Fall Swap '07, where we combined our swap with Olegreymare's swap from previous years. The weather turned out to be much better than the weathermen had predicted! We had broken clouds, with enough sun to keep it pleasantly warm all afternoon! No rain at all! The food was wonderful, and we didn't wind up with mostly desserts this time! But whoever brought the chocolate covered strawberries and blueberries—thank you!!! LOTS of other good things! My plate wasn't big enough to try them all! Not to mention my stomach! (And I HAD to save room for the chocolate strawberries and blueberries—and chocolate cake! Did I mention that I love chocolate! There were lots of great plants—annuals, veggies, and perennials! I think everybody got something they really wanted—and more in the free-for-all! It was fun! Those of you in the Denver area who couldn't/didn't make it to this swap, plan ahead for the Fall Swap. Here are some of the pictures from the Spring Swap. If you want to see them all, click on the first one and arrow forward thru all of them. Spring Swap — arriving and starting to eat!
Some of the available plants! (The ones people earmarked earlier were in other places!)
Picking numbers for first and second rounds of picks — the numbers were in the red cup!
Telling what we brought!
Then we did the two rounds of "first picks," and then we had the
Lots of behinds! Everybody's too busy to worry about where the camera is!!!
Not swapping just now, but—Charlene and child (one of two!)
And—Pablo and friend! (Jennifer had the camera!!!) There were also 3 dogs and a few kids there this time!
It truly was a fun time again, and, whether you've been to a past swap or not, consider coming to the Fall Swap—location to be determined! I'm just finishing that bottle of wine! No! It wasn't full when I started—if anybody read the "Swap Thank You" thread!—but I couldn't leave just a little bit in the bottle—could I??? I don't do very well with putting names together with faces (Bonnie, I WOULD have recognized you if you hadn't had the sun glasses on!), but I hope to see a lot of you again at another swap. Thank you Charlene for hosting again, and thank you ALL for helping to make this another successful swap,
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi all, I just posted this on the "Swap thank you" thread, and I'm gonna post it here too! I seem to have come home with fewer of the black plastic plant trays than I arrived with! I really, really need them to grow stuff in and to carry stuff around in for the swaps, so if you wound up with one—or more—would you please keep them and bring them back to the Fall Swap so I can get them back to use again? I use them to move stuff around my yard when I'm growing it before the swap, and with as much as I bring, it would be impossible to handle it all without the trays to put it in. Thank you all, I really appreciate it, |

Wow! I missed the whole thing this year. I thought I was on the mailing list for the swap, but I guess not. I'll keep in touch for the Fall one. Our Open Garden will be on July 18th this year. I'll be posting something here. If anyone wants to receive a flyer, please contact me. Karen |
I'm very impressed with the organization! And the food! Looks like a great time for everyone. |

A great time was had by all--even the dogs! Thanks for posting the pics, skybird! |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Agapanther!
Facts about Agapanther
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Agapanther's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Agapanther is a DMH black, possibly Turkish Angora mix, boy, born approximately 3/1/12.
Hi I'm Agapanther AKA "Panther". I want to be the love of your life. I'm looking for someone to love & snuggle with. I want to be friends with everyone, even dogs & other kitties. I love people so much that I even meow for you when I want to snuggle. I have beautiful green eyes & medium black fur with a silver undercoat that will be easier to see when I shed my kitten fuzz. I am a very happy little kitty just wanting to find my forever home & family to love.
Please complete our adoption questionnaire at http://www.fluffbuddies.org/infoquestions.html
Adoption events are held at the Fair Oaks Petco (Madison at Hazel) on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4pm.
Other Pets at Fluff Buddies
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Agapanther, a North Highlands Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in North Highlands, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in North Highlands.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Highlands already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a North Highlands breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in North Highlands paves the way for another one to be saved.

This may be a record. Our independent documentary film has run for four weeks in the West End of London, with four screenings a day, and continues to be picked up by London cinemas, including many which originally turned it down.
It is booked in cinemas around the country until the end of September.
As a writer and not a habitual film-maker, I had no idea how impressive that was, but Christopher Hird, our executive producer, tells me that nobody can remember another UK produced documentary having anything like this success.
Only An Inconvenient Truth had anything like this impact, and it had tens of millions of marketing money behind it that we have not.
What has astonished even us is the way the film has broken out of the usual circle of dedicated followers of the environmental cause and found its way into the consciousness of the public at large.
It has been taken up by the Sun, Hello and Heat magazine, as well as regional and local papers and the entire national press.
It has also engaged with the corporate world in ways no one can remember any other British film doing. The head of a major High Street presence, Pret a Manger, saw an early screening and changed his entire company's policy on tuna.
I notice that even Morrisons, which was at the back of the pack, is now advertising some of its fish as line-caught.
The fact that the film has struck such a chord with the people and companies who have seen it has put the issues in the film on the political agenda, in ways they were not before. We can report that the fisheries minister, Huw Irranca Davies, asked to see us.
I went along to a very amiable meeting accompanied by Greta Scacchi, our fish ambassador. I shall be at a screening for officials at the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs this week.
We have met the Tories, who have asked the Government some searching questions in the Commons about whether it will support an immediate ban on fishing for bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean, the population of which appears to have collapsed.
We even have an appointment to see Downing Street officials, as a result of Sarah Brown's championship of the film. I have already debated the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy with Joe Borg, the European fisheries commissioner.
So it is amusing that the only person who has not made time in his diary to see us or to debate the issues in the film is Richard Lochhead, the minister responsible for fisheries in the Scottish Government.
The organisers had hoped that Mr Lochhead could see the film and debate the issues with me at one of our Edinburgh screenings.
But his officials could not find a single moment in his diary during the week that the film was in town for this to happen, nor could they put up a junior minister or senior official to debate Scotland's handling of fisheries or its home-grown variant of the Marine Bill.
We know that the Scottish National Party derives much of its support from fishing constituencies, in other words is scared stiff of the fishermen's vote. Many had hoped it would take a more rounded view while it was in office.
But I think this failure to show up and debate a film that has caught the public mood shows a disturbing inability on the part of Scotland's government to deal with how devastated Scottish and European fisheries actually are, a contempt for the majority of citizens who are not fishermen, and an ostrich-like belief that the issue will somehow go away.
I assure them it will not. Indeed our campaign is only just beginning.

I'm not entirely certain if this is where to post this information that I require.
I own a 2003,Arctic Cat 500 ATV. When driving it to work,it overheated,causing it to completely quit running. It would not key start,only by pulling it,and even then,it was extremely difficult. I have been told by various ppl to check the oil,which I have found,and the antifreeze..which I cannot find
I have however checked online to try and find out what I can regarding repair. Is there anywhere that I can find some info online for this bike? Is there anyone here that could possibly figure out what may possibly be wrong with it? TIA |
Follow-Up Postings:
Would like to know reasons for "overheating" diagnosis. Is engine 2-stroke or 4-stroke? When it "...completely quit running." what, exactly occurred? Gradual? Sudden? Noises? Smoke? Steam? What? Not much to go on from your post. |
thank you for your response asolo. I do not know if its 2 or 4 stroke,but I'll try to find out asap.....this is my bike,but I am not the one that uses it the most,so I know little about it. When it quit,it would just bog down....slow down slowly,as if not enough power to drive it. I have found when riding as passenger,that the left rear fender area is very hot...yet the muffler is far enough away that I didnt think it should be hot,so that tells me that this heating up thing has been happening for quite awhile,just that it wasnt driven far enough to make it quit maybe. My DS did say that the battery may be part of the problem,that may have to do with it not key starting. I'll attempt to get more info on this and back to this thread sometime Monday...thanks again for your response so far. |
Hard to tell from cyber-distance, but I'm thinking fuel starvation or too-rich mixture. If you say back-firing, I'm thinking maybe too rich. Still too much unknown. 2/4 strokes do typically show different symptoms for their ailments. Would be nice to know. |
A progressively-clogging air filter can lead to symptoms you're describing on 2 or 4 strokes. Starves for air so more vaccuum on the fuel lines leading to too much fuel and too little air = bogging and back-firing. Still, must reserve judgement....just thinking. |
ok,I know this much now...it is a 4 stroke Suzuki engine We checked the oil,its ok,no smell of gas in it,and it seems clean and sufficient of it We checked the anti-freeze,it too seems ok,and sufficient of it as well. We took out the air filter,and are about to replace it...it was dirty,but nothing too terrible really I spoke to a fellow that repairs recreational vehicles,and he is saying that this particular make had troubles with what is known as the "stater" someting or other that is in the motor itself. Someone else suggested a possible stuck thermostat. We're really leaning towards hoping that it is just what you say,or the theromstat problem It has only a total of 850 km on it,and its 3 yrs old....360 of those km were put on it in the last year...hardly enough to warrant this "stater" thing I hope ($$$$$) Again,thanx for your time and efforts! |
Certainly unrelated to oil or anti-freeze. Thermostats typically stick open, not closed, but easy/cheap replacement in any event. Suzuki builds good engines. Suspect something relatively simple. Have little doubt competent mechanic could diagnose and solve quickly. Maybe time for a few bucks at the dealer. 3 years without service ain't bad. |
Lets hope that this fellow tonite knows his stuff....I'll report back to you as soon as I have some (hopefully) good news Thanx again! |
Sorry to have been so long getting back to you! The problem "is" the stater....the mechanic checked it out,and said definitely stater or the rectifier. Now,this machine has only 826 miles on it...I am going to go after Arctic Cat to see if they will honor some sort of coverage for it..the mechanic said that there is hardly enough mileage on it to have it even broken in yet. We bought it second hand,from the one and only previous owner,who has bought it direct from a Snow City dealer. Wish me luck! And thanx again for your time and trouble! |
3 years? Second owner? Don't know AC policies but good luck with that. |

Total Performance Rating
The TPR graph is a combination of all our benchmarks in which NVIDIA and AMD are on an even playing field.
The TPR number is a combination of:
3DMark 11, Heaven Benchmark V2, Resident Evil 5, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.2, Mafia 2 (PhysX Off), Lost Planet 2, Aliens vs. Predator, Street Fighter IV, Far Cry 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum (PhysX Off) and our four High Quality tests which include Mafia 2, Aliens vs. Predator, Street Fighter IV and Far Cry 2.
All of the benchmark results achieved are then combined into a single number. As this graph will grow over time and cards won't be re-tested, next to each model you'll find the driver version that was used when the card was benchmarked.
It comes as no surprise when we check out our TPR graph that the setup falls only second to the higher end HD 6970 CF setup. For the most part you can see it's almost directly in the middle off the HD 6870 and HD 6970 CF setups.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sassy!
Facts about Sassy
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog
- Color: Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Sassy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sassy's Foster Home is in Middleburg, Fl,
Sassy is a 4 month old, female Black German shepherd puppy. Sassy will be spayed prior to adoption and she is up to date on her vaccinations, flea, tick and heartworm preventative and will be microchippped prior to adoption.
Sassy was brought into Rescue because a kind Samaritan found her along I75 Interstate. Since Sassy has been in Rescue she is your typical, active puppy. She is very smart and would do great in any active home or perhaps someone looking to train for Search and Rescue or any other type of Service Dog work. A Fenced in Yard is a Must for her and someone that can devote time and training with her. She is a wonderful little girl and she will make the best companion to just about anybody looking for an active German shepherd. She does have a scar on her shoulder blade but we see no health issues as a result of this scar. Sassy is crate trained and needs some work on her leash skills, she knows sit and down and is a very playful puppy.
If you would like to provide this, loving puppy a, forever home or need additional information regarding adoption Please Email:firstname.lastname@example.com
An application needs to be completed prior to a meet and greet. All dogs in rescue are temperament tested and have basic obedience implemented as a part of their daily routine. All behavioral issues are dealt with according to each case scenario. All dogs prior to going home are up to date on all vaccinations, neutered and or spayed, and microchipped.
Adoption fees range from $100 - $350 depending on age, degree of personalized training, and if proof of bloodlines can be provided.
Application, home-check, and references must be approved prior before final adoption.

In today's interconnected world, APIs are more pervasive than ever. Software developers have long been using APIs to extend the value of their applications, leverage the functionality of other applications, and create entirely new platforms. In fact, APIs, most prominently REST with JSON, have become such big business growth drivers that many industry analysts label the opportunity "The API Economy." What may not be obvious is that The API Economy is undergoing a radical shift that is creating even more opportunities around enterprise innovation and speed-to-market.
APIs as Innovation Currency
"APIs are now becoming more applicable in the network as the network becomes more like the software world," said Clifford Grossner, directing analyst, data center and cloud at Infonetics Research. "Software-defined networks or SDNs are a perfect example of how we need to look at SDN controllers [through the innovation prism]: They're going to control traffic on switches as well as support the orchestration of different services [through APIs]."
APIs have become a data currency that is exchanged between applications. Grossner maintains that APIs can indicate the functionality that is available as well as dynamically negotiate any charges for the service. Services can now be selected automatically based on some pre-defined criteria such as functionality and cost modeling. The consumerization of IT has become a predominant influencer in terms of the consumption of apps within the enterprise, modeling the same experience B2B users have with their consumer app-store devices — all from API-driven commerce.
Balancing Risks and Opportunities
As more networking functions become available as programmable software, more developers will build those capabilities into their applications, which present both opportunities and challenges. The opportunities stem from the ability to leverage new levels of intelligence and connectivity features, as well as built-in security and compliance. The challenges are making linked data work synergistically across hybrid datacenters and cloud platforms in ways that are robust, secure, and trustworthy.
"A very important opportunity is having the ability to collect a lot of data about application flows across networks," said Infonetics' Grossner. "It is also important to capture the analytics [with telemetry] to understand the application flows, so admins can not only adjust load balancing across services, but be able to interact with SDN controllers to impact how application flows are treated in the network."
Get Ready for an Innovation Explosion
The use of enterprise APIs continues unabated, enabling many transformational scenarios ranging from B2B product and service integration to the automation of tasks large and small using machine-to-machine (M2M) communications in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. In the software development arena, PowerShell, Microsoft's task automation and configuration management framework, is allowing greater automation of code reuse which indicates that an increasing dependency on services and cloud computing is becoming mainstream. Meanwhile, APIs are becoming even more strategic, relevant and integral to enterprises for enhancing customer experiences through programmable networks and network virtual services.
For example, within SDN architectures, northbound APIs are used to communicate between the SDN Controller and the services and applications running over the network. APIs can be used to facilitate innovation and enable efficient orchestration and automation of network services to align with demands of load-balanced applications. One of the goals is to abstract the core functionality of the network, so that application developers can program in 'hooks' that allow the network to make changes to accommodate dynamic application requirements without having to understand exactly the underlying network topology and device configurations. Recently, the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) turned its focus to the northbound interface (NBI). ONF have established a Northbound Working Group that promises to write code, develop prototypes and review industry standards for NBI APIs.
An effective enterprise API strategy can also facilitate integrated delivery of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) in the cloud using APIs to bring together synergies between disparate cloud services provider platforms including networks, communications, cloud, M2M, DaaS for internal integration efficiency, and NFV services like ADCs (application delivery controllers) and WAFs (web application firewalls). NFV services can be exposed as APIs for direct external use for business cases that can benefit from the real-time ability to request network resources on demand.
SoftLayer, an IBM company that provides cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (Iaas), started its entire business around the SoftLayer API, giving it more than 2,200 documented methods across 180 discrete services. SoftLayer also built its internal management system and customer portal to use the API, automating the entire portfolio of services: management and monitoring to information retrieval from SoftLayer accounting, inventory, and DNS systems. IBM overall has launched BlueMix Garage for spurring application innovation within the IBM Cloud marketplace, so that enterprise applications will essentially begin to morph into a set of web services that RESTful API developers can use to create value-added applications on demand.
IDC recently published research claiming that cloud services are the essential foundation for so-called 3rd Platform solutions (cloud, mobility, social and analytics):
- Over 90% of all IT growth between 2013 and 2020 will be from 3rd Platform technologies and solutions
- Millions of new apps and services will be built on the 3rd Platform
- Changes in application structure (APIs), and complexity (multi-sourced tiers, multi-location data), will spur a shift to hybrid architectures, so that in a sense, the place "where data lives" will also drive architecture decisions
The API Economic Growth Opportunity Now
Without question, cloud service providers should evaluate opportunities beyond the conventional XSP about what information is available for their API use-case scenarios. Network-centric business cases can rely upon application layer information gathered by a load balancer and then data-brokered through its API.
CSPs can use customer data and usage patterns for load balancing and application acceleration to deliver an assured service level guarantee. CSPs also must consider the possibility of offering information assets as a service to external partners via APIs to overcome current limitations to define reusable and repeatable services, within Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environments, which will drive enterprise API technology value even higher.

It may not be his job, but Arsalan Kazemi wants to retrieve every basketball in sight.
With less than a minute to go in the first half of Oregon's dominant win over Saint Louis, a Billikens' hoopster missed a shot that bounced over the backboard and was caught in the metal framing. Kazemi quickly snatched a court-sweep and reached up to poke the ball loose for the official.
Had that reclamation of the ball counted, Kazemi would have tallied 17 rebounds in two straight games. Instead, he was forced to settle with 16.
Yup, that is 33 boards across two games.
"I said I can help my team with rebounding, and I'm going to go out and get as many rebounds as possible," Kazemi said after the victory that launched his newfound team to the Sweet 16.
In his last three games, Kazemi has totaled at least 12 rebounds per game and eight points.
His stellar performances, coupled with his interesting journey, has spawned three newspapers profiles on him this week alone, one from The Emerald, a second from The Oregonian and the last was published this morning in The New York Times.
Getting a little bit less love from the press, but equally as important to Oregon's five-game win streak has been freshman shooting guard Damyean Dotson.
Dotson hadn't reached double digits in scoring in five straight games and didn't earn a single point in the regular season-ending loss against Utah. But beginning with the Ducks' first game of the Pac-12 Tournament against Washington, Dotson has been on a tear.
He scored 17 (13 in first half) in the overtime win over the Huskies, followed by 14 (10 in the first half) against Utah in that tournament's semifinal round. In the final against UCLA, he notched 13 points with solid first half play, and versus Oklahoma State he had 11 in the opening act and finished with 17.
His run of great showings is peaking, and against the Billikens on Saturday he was astounding. Dotson delivered a career-high 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting going 5-of-6 from three.
Across the past five games, Dotson has shot a brilliant 30-of-62 with an even more luminous 15-of-30 from behind the arc.
If his success continues, Dotson is on pace to score over 16 points against Louisville in the Sweet 16. If Kazemi's rebounding prowess of the last three games keeps up, expect 15 boards from him against the Cardinal.

Now, Clarkson has dropped the music video for her lovely, jingly single "Underneath The Tree," and it's about what you'd expect — one of those live performance videos (I'm guessing comprised of footage from her upcoming Yuletide special Kelly Clarkson's Cautionary Christmas Music Tale, which is actually a thing that actually exists) with some backstage B-roll. It's not the most exciting video ever produced, but by God, it's Kelly Clarkson in a big dumb holiday dress looking all jolly and wonderful and demolishing the competition with some extraordinary vocal runs, so really, what else matters?
Watch it up top.

We have come up with our plans, gotten our building permit and they begin digging tomorrow! But I am still not sure about window sizes! I'm starting to panic. I love the 6'8" doors with transoms in a 9' ceiling space, but I have no idea how big the windows should be. I know I want to raise them to give a better view but I'm not sure if a 3052 (3'x5'2") will be tall enough. Once I know the window size/placement I can carry the header height around the entire first floor with the wraparound porch and balance the windows from there. I have searched and I did find some references with pictures in Tinkers post about 9' ceilings and the comparison between 6'8" doors with transoms and taller windows. I loved her comparisons but there were no dimensions that I could see. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Pictures/diagrams greatly welcomed as well. Jenny |

What is the head height for the transome over the 6'-8" door? Will that be the head height for all windows, or will the windows have transoms? Basically you have two choices: The higher the window head, the more light will be admitted deeper into the room. In my colonial house the window heads on the first floor are framed so that the 4" interior trim is flush with the ceiling, making the windows as close to the ceiling as they can be. In a classic colonial, this is a great advantage, since it maximizes the interior light for a relatively few windows. Good luck with your project. |
How close do you want them to come down to your floor? I have a classic cape cod house with double hungs. First floor ceiling is 8' and my windows are 2650 (30inches x 60inches). The windows sit about 1' down from the ceiling and 28" off the floor. The upstairs has 2640 double hungs, set high within the dormer (from the outside, it looks normal, but the inside, the trim is right at the ceiling--so probably like VC--about 4" down.) The proportions are great on them. The upstairs ones do bring light into the room better than the downstairs ones because they are set higher to the ceiling. The downstairs ones limit placement of furniture or else the furniture blocks a portion of them. We've chosen to set the couch against the window wall for now (we have a small home, and a small LR with lots of "traffic paths" so, it needs to sit where it needs to sit). I also have a pair of single hung 3040 (3x4) windows in a back bedroom (I think they were used for egress; not sure). If I pretend they went to the ceiling, to give me your proportions, they would probably be okay proportion-wise. They are about 38" finished sill height off the floor. In your 9' ceilinged house, they'd have a feeling of being more retangular and less squat than my 3040s in this room. If you had 12" of header room, then your proposed 3052s would be fine. I think if you shorten your header though, you will feel like you are looking over your wall edge to see out (the bottoms will be too tall). So, figure out where you want the bottom of the window to land in your spaces. One other thing to consider--will you have any grids in your windows? If so, be sure the proportions you pick lend itself to the shape of grid you want... Sounds silly, but if you wanted 6 light panes, and you ended up with square "lites" and you really wanted vertical rectangle ones, you'd be disappointed. The same is true for people who put in a transom above a door, but when all said and done it looks "squatty". Maybe that will help for your consideration. |
One last thing~ when I was trying to make window size decisions for my remodel/addition, I drew some wall perspectives by hand with graph paper and drew different options for sizes of windows. Take a room/wall from your plan, and draw it *to 9' high* and its width, and then draw in different sized windows. That should give you a better idea of placement too. |

YOu can also use Google Sketchup to do what kirkhall described. My first floor has 10' ceilings and the windows sit 2' from the ceiling and 2' from the floor. We have 8 ft doors as well so the tops are all uniform. |
Thank you all for the responses. I'm thinking the windows will work! Still have to sketch to make sure. |
We used 3052 windows on the first floor, set at 7' high, and using 7' high doors (we only have a handful on the first floor), so that header heights match. With a 5 1/2" crown molding, and 3 1/2" casing I think it looks just right and not very squished. We have a deep front porch, so setting them higher in the front of the house wasn't really viable. If you have trim on the windows outside, you should also consider how it will work with your elevation if you move the windows higher. We find that we're getting lots of light, and while we were very worried that we set them too low for a 9' high ceiling, i think it worked out pretty much perfectly. The only thing I would have done differently is probably get a 8' high patio door. The andersen french door is only 6'11", but it's actually shorter than that. I'll post some pics later. |
If a window comes within a certain inch of the floor you have to have teempered windows which cost more. |
Here's a pic of the 3052 windows I promised. The kitchen will also be getting 5" crown molding, which will make the space between top of window and ceiling look smaller. |

Does 3052 refer to the rough opening, the frame size, or the sash size? |
Ok, Just to update. I used the designer suite to plug in the 3052 windows that my husband thought were plenty big enough. Raised them to match the transom over doors height and started printing pictures. Printed them at regular height 6'8" and higher. Also printed pictures of the raised windows but taller 3060. Husband said go bigger! Said there was too much space below the windows when raising the smaller 3052. So Now pricing the difference to see if its what we want to do! Thanks for the suggestions! And 18" floor to bottom of the window is our limit code wise. jen |

18" is not a building code limit for the bottom of all windows. Only if the exposed area of the lower individual glass pane is larger than 9 s.f. AND the bottom of that pane is lower than 18" above the floor AND that glass pane is not tempered is it prohibited. To trigger that requirement requires a very large double-hung window, often one of the 2 or 3 largest standard sizes a manufacturer makes, if they even make one that large, and an unwillingness to pay for tempered glass. Don't design with the builder's generic window sizes. Pick the window you want and check the actual vertical and horizontal exposed glass dimensions in the catalog and calculate the exposed glass area. For instance, the 18" high untempered glass restriction would usually only apply to a doulbe-hung with a "frame size" greater than 3-6 wide X 6-8 high. Design what you want; don't let common misinterpretations of the buidling code restrict you. A window can sit on the floor if the lower glass pane is smaller than 9 s.f. or tempered. There are, of course, requirements for tempered glass near doors and stairs. |
Thanks so much for the info! I think the larger windows (3060) look right and balanced with the 9' ceilings and will probably be close to 2' from the ground with a 12" header. Will probably match the door transom heights. Jen |

This is a great camera model with great innovations and improvements on its features. Im sure if you are a photographer, this could be your best buddy to take wonderful photos. Like this one very much. - KSA Kosher
The Pentax K-30: A Rugged, Full-Featured Yet Compact D-SLR
What's New?
The K-30 has a 16-megapixel APS-C-sized CMOS image sensor (23.7x15.7mm) along with a 77-segment multi-pattern metering system that produced accurate exposures under various shooting conditions for me. The sensor has a "shake your booty" dust removal system to shake minute debris from the sensor's surface and I didn't find a single speck on any image during testing. Bucking the trend, the K-30's 3" LCD screen neither swivels nor flips. Also atypical in this class is the camera's ability to accept interchangeable focusing screens, with optional AF Divided Matte and Scale Matte types available for around $40 each.
ISO Range
The K-30 has a sensitivity range from ISO 100 to 12,800, with an "expanded" ISO 25,600 available via custom function. Its SAFOX IXi+ AF sensor module incorporates a diffraction lens to minimize chromatic aberration and match the characteristics of whatever Pentax individual lens is mounted. Of the 11 focus points, nine are cross-type sensors and under low light a "spotbeam" helps the AF system. Focusing was blindingly fast, even more so than the company's own K-7, especially in Live View mode where the K-7 was somewhat leisurely while the K-30 snaps sharply into focus. The K-30's high-speed burst mode produces a maximum speed of six JPEG images per second and has a high-speed shutter with a top speed of 1/6000 sec.
Image Stabilization—Built-In
The K-30's built-in image stabilization reduces blur from camera movement by approximately four shutter steps. The system works with Pentax K-, KA-, KAF-, KAF2-, and KAF3-mount lenses; screwmount lenses (with an adapter); and 645- and 67-system lenses (with an adapter), although some functions may not be available with certain lenses. My experience with this and other Pentax cameras using this system is that even under demanding lighting conditions it produces sharp, blur-free images.
The K-30 offers several other features, including Automatic Horizon Correction, a composition adjustment function that permits small horizontal/vertical/axial alignment adjustments, and an AstroTracer mode that, when used in combination with the optional ($199.95) O-GPS1 GPS Unit, eliminates light trails in astronomical photography.
Scene Modes
Snapshooters should appreciate the K-30's Auto Picture mode, which analyzes a scene and selects the most appropriate shooting mode from Portrait, Landscape, Macro, or one of the others. The camera also offers 19 creative Scene modes, including Night Scene Portrait, Pet, Backlight Silhouette as well as a Custom Image function, which lets the user add the final touch by choosing from 11 settings, including Bleach Bypass and Cross Process. The K-30 offers a choice of 19 creative digital filters, like the Extract Color that I so loved when shooting with the K-01. Photographers typically either love or hate these kinds of features, but I had lots of fun using them on the K-30.
In addition to a lithium-ion battery that's capable of capturing 480 images from a single charge, four AA-size batteries can be used to power the K-30 with the optional ($29.95) D-BH109 AA Battery Holder. If you buy this camera be sure to order one as an inexpensive backup for those inopportune times when the lithium-ion battery runs dry. It happens, although my experience as a rabid chimper with the lithium-ion battery is that 480 exposures are conservative and I was able to get many, many more than that from a single charge.
The 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens was provided so I would have a "weatherproof" lens to go with the K-30's weatherproof body but when I wanted to take it to a water park, a Pentax representative suggested it was OK but told me "not to take it down the flume ride." Instead, I finally proved what some of my neighbors long suspected: that "I don't have enough sense to come in from the rain" by shooting during an occasional rain (not thunder) shower. The K-30 took a lickin' and kept on tickin'. While the K-30 has the persona of an entry-level digital SLR it is clearly much more than that which is why it has a suggested retail price of $849.95 for the body only or $899.95 for the kit, including the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens.
All That and Video, Too
The Pentax K-30 features HD video recording and can capture clips at 1080p resolution (1920x1080 pixels). The H.264 compression format offers a choice of frame rates (30, 25, or 24 frames per second) at 1080p or up to 60 fps at 720p. Flexible options let you select aperture or shutter exposure control, while Pentax Shake Reduction stabilizes captured video.
You can add creative artistic effects using any of the camera's Custom Image modes or record a series of clips using Interval Movie Shooting mode. George Lucas once said that filmmaking was 60 percent audio and 40 percent visual but the K-30 lacks an external mic connection, making it more suitable for basic YouTube clips. Since the camera's video quality is quite good, an alternative is to shoot MOS (Mit Out Sound) and add a soundtrack later. With video capability comes Live View for your still photography and the K-30 offers a choice of three different on-screen grid display patterns, including a Golden Section overlay and detailed information overlay.
In The Field
The K-30 has analog dials for access to the camera's settings and modes. The handling and menus of the Pentax K-30 should feel familiar to experienced shooters, but if you're a new Pentaxian you'll catch on quickly due to the logical ways the controls are designed. The camera comes with a built-in ergonomic grip and is available in Crystal White and Crystal Blue along with the basic black version I tested. My US Medium-sized hands found the camera to be ergonomically sound, but just a wee bit small. I bulk up small SLRs like the Rebel Ti series by using a battery grip and while Pentax makes a battery grip (D-BG4) for the K-7 they don't offer one for the K-30, so far anyway.
For this test I used a 32GB SanDisk (www.sandisk.com) Extreme 30MB/s SD card that allowed me to capture more than 3400 of the camera's highest resolution JPEG files. If you check an option box in the K-30's menus, you can retrieve and save Raw data from the camera's buffer memory for a just-recorded JPEG image. That gives you one more chance to change your mind, something not found in many SLRs. There's also a Raw/Fx multi-function button on the front just below the flash pop-up button for on-the-fly file format changing.
Speaking of Raw, the K-30 uses the DNG format that's compatible with Raw processing software such as Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). You can also shoot images in Raw+ format, which also produces a JPEG file, so you can capture a "straight" color Raw file and a Custom Image effect, allowing you to simultaneously, for example, shoot color (Raw) and monochrome (JPEG) files. If you don't already have ACR, Pentax includes a Mac OS and Windows compatible copy of SilkyPix Developer Studio 3.0, which is an amazingly capable image editor and is bundled at no additional charge.
My first field trip was to Parker, Colorado's weekly farmers' market where the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 was a good choice because it focuses as close as 9.84", making it handy for close-up photographs of the produce on display. There was a tarp covering part of the market, providing some respite from the 90+ degree temperatures, but it was yellow and added a color cast to the veggies that in some cases, such as the onions shown, produced a warm touch but also demonstrated the camera's Auto White Balance mode does its best unless presented with extremes.
While you can always do a custom white balance, schlepping a white card around the farmers' market would have taken away from the casual and pleasant experience of making these photographs. Instead, an ExpoDisc (www.expoimaging.com) would slip in your pocket or around your neck and let you do the job.
HDR Options
The K-30 offers four built-in HDR capture modes (Auto, HDR1, HDR2, and HDR3) that shoot blended images that are saved as a JPEG file and, as with the K-01, your results may vary. To test the options I photographed my favorite gazebo in Parker's O'Brien Park using all four settings and here's what I found: the Auto setting produced the most natural-looking result lacking the HDR histrionics that set purists' hair on fire. The HDR1 setting produced an image slightly lower in contrast but the HDR effect was noticeable and pleasing. It would be my first choice because it amps up the image without adding unnecessary drama. In HDR2 the tone mapping effect is noticeable and although the three-shot burst from the K-30 is surprisingly fast, some ghosting was evident with people moving through the scene. In HDR3, we're in full "painting on tinfoil" mode that's beloved by some, detested by others. I kind of liked it but just remember one of Farace's Laws that "all effects are subject dependent" so do as I did and make your own tests to find the HDR setting that matches your personal taste.
ISO & Noise
The Pentax K-30 has a high ISO setting of 12,800 that's expandable to 25,600 using the Expanded Sensitivity custom function that's the digital equivalent of push processing film. As in push processing, there are some tradeoffs so I took the K-30 to Denver's Forney Transportation Museum (www.forneymuseum.com) and shot pairs of images: one at ISO 12,800, the other at ISO 25,600. To make the test as fair as possible and to eliminate possible JPEG artifacts, I shot all of the images in the camera's Raw format with the in camera noise reduction at its default settings. At what would be considered "normal" viewing, the image shot at ISO 12,800 displayed fine, colored noise but I'm betting that even in an 8x10 print it would not be objectionable. Not surprisingly, the ISO 25,600 setting is noisy and sits right on the edge of what's acceptable to me. What's "acceptable" to you or picky shooters might be different and if so, they'll find the ISO 12,800 shots to their liking.
IR Capabilities
All of the Pentax digital SLRs that I've tested over the years have had some kind of infrared sensitivity and responded well to the use of IR filters such as the redoubtable Hoya RM72. So I did a test with the K-30. The front element of the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom uses a 52mm filter and I have a 58mm IR filter along with a 52>58 step-up adapter which the K-30's autofocus system easily focused through. I made the first shot with the Hoya RM72 filter mounted and using Manual exposure mode along with the K-30's Live View capabilities I was able to quickly hone in on an approximate exposure. Instead of using the "shoot, look, shoot, look" method, just a bit of shutter speed adjustment produced an acceptable IR exposure. The results were quite good.
I enjoyed my time spent with the K-30 but there is more to the Pentax K-30 than its "weatherproofness." It's a well-designed SLR that belongs in the camera bag of any serious Pentaxian or someone looking to move up from their point-and-shoot to a compact-sized SLR that produces great-looking images. An interesting incident occurred while I was sipping a cool ice tea at Starbucks after a hot day photographing veggies at the Parker farmers' market: a guy sitting next to me looked at the K-30 and said, "I didn't even know Pentax made that kind of camera." Yet in J.D. Power's most recent survey of online purchased SLRs, Pentax scored the highest and was ranked "among the best." What's not to like?
smc PENTAX DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL II
With the bundled 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom kit lens, the K-30 sensor's size has a 1.5 lens magnification factor, producing a field of view equivalent to 27-82.5mm. The 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens makes a versatile traveling companion and would be a good choice for a stroll around town but more serious travel photographers might look in the Pentax lens catalog to find something wider, such as the 12-24mm f/4 ED AL; soccer moms and dads might like to add something longer, such as the 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED. If you're new to SLR shooting, the 18-55mm, which seems the de rigueur focal length range for kit lenses (until somebody challenges that), is as good as any place to start building your system, although I expect that once you expand the system it may not get used as much.

I would like to make the ball pictured in the link below (click on the third photo). The directions say to "follow chart" for each section. The chart shows the section (kind of football shaped)--cast on two, next two rows do 4 stitches, increasing to the full width then starting to decrease. Hope this makes sense.
The directions say nothing about how to do the increases and then decreases, and I have no idea. Any help will be appreciated. Susan |

I would do the increases and decreases as you always do them on most other patterns. I don't think it will really matter to the finished piece as long as they are all done the same. My preferred increasing stitch is knitting in back and front of a stitch. My preferred decreasing stitch is K2 tog or Slip 1, k1, PSSO, depending on the end I'm knitting. Reading a graph or chart is fairly easy. Just follow each line and do what it says. I like to put a small light pencil mark at the beginning of each row right near the design, as I start it. It is erasable after but lets you know just where you are in the graph. |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 29, 10 at 11:08
I just wasn't sure which increases/decreases would work well at the beginnings and ends of rows--if there was any particular kind to do or not do. I have never worked from a chart before--automatically passed them by because they looked scary! I guess it's a visual way of writing the pattern, rather than words. I'll probably get a copy of the chart made so I can write all I want. Thank you for your help! |
- Posted by oilpainter (My Page) on Mon, Mar 29, 10 at 20:00
That's right socks--it is exactly that--a visual way of writing a pattrern. I have made dozens of picture sweaters using graphs and even designed a few myself. I prefer graphs to the written pattern. There is nothing to be scared about, just follow each line and you'll see how easy it is. If you are going to print out a disposable pattern Then draw the line right through the row you are working on and then you can see at a glance just where you are and you won't get the rows comfused |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 29, 10 at 21:11
I'm learning a lot on this one! Since the sections of the ball are stockinette, I had to google and find out how to do purl into the front and back of the stitch since some increase rows are purls. I knew how to do KBF (What did we do before the internet???) Then it dawned on me that I could do three panels at once on the needles, so I'm doing pretty good I think. I'll post a picture if I'm proud of it!! Thanks again. |

Looking forward to seeing the finished product |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 6, 10 at 23:18
Here's the picture. I wish I had stuffed it a little tighter, but too late now!! The solid sections I did 3 at a time, but the stripes was pretty tricky so I did only 2 at a time, as shown. |
Socks, you did great! If you do another in all solids, you could do all the panels at the same time. I'm not comfortable with charts yet, either. Tami |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 7, 10 at 11:27
To tell the truth, Tami, I wrote the pattern out on a piece of paper and didn't really look at the chart after that. Yes, I could do different colors of solids and wouldn't have to mess with the stripes. On the stripes I did carry the yarn up the sides, or I would have gone nuts weaving in ends. There were enough ends as it was! Thank you. |

How To Choose A Camp Kettle
Do you want to know how to choose a camp kettle? There´s a wide variety of camping gear in the market today. So many choices, that it´s sometimes hard to make up your mind, and get you to lose track of what you really need. To avoid wasting time and money, a little method can help.
- A computer with Internet access.
- Determine which features you want the kettle to have, depending on your needs. Some parameters, design, materials, compatibility with other parts from the same manufacturer to form cooking systems, are present in every camp kettle and also define the price, performance and durability of that key piece of equipment.
- Weight: When traveling by foot, weight is a major problem. But a kettle too light will also tend to be less energy efficient, due to the heat inertia principle.
- Dimensions: Depending on the number of participants on your crew, thus the amount of hot liquid needed. You´ll have to decide the right size. For a single, a one quarter kettle may be enough, whereas you should calculate one quarter per person.
- Design: Newer designs, with the incorporation of a dome bottom, concentrate heat and boil water in incredible short time, but on the other hand, have less capacity. Finding the balance is the key.
- Material: State of the art kettles use very advanced materials. But with technology comes price raise, so again, weight your needs and availability of cash to decide whether you are going to choose a Halulite or a regular Aluminium kettle.
- Go online and browse a major camp hardware retailer´s website. At this point, you will see basic pictures and features of the kettle models available.
- Determine which brand and model or models you´d like. Major camping kitchenware brands are GSI Outdoors, that offers a wide variety of kitchenware, including latest generation materials and designs; Coleman, with the experience of more than a century manufacturing camping equipment; Jetboil provides state of the art heating systems, where energy efficient designs meet the most durable materials to form great expedition cooking systems; and REI, that manufactures and sells a wide variety of kettles made of different materials, covering every budget from the expensive and efficient Titanium to the more economic Teflon coated alloy.
- Use a web search engine to look for the specific kettle that you like. Sometimes a piece of equipment as seasonal as a camp kettle can be on sale on a website belonging to a small retailer, out of bounds. Browse the web, and scan every offer.
- Once you´ve chosen, it´s just a matter of getting in touch with the seller. And following the buying process.

CWU press release
Cleaners and engineers who work on contracts at Royal Mail will walk out on Friday (21st December) over an insulting pay offer.
The Communication Workers Union members are employed by facilities management company Romec - which is 50 per cent owned by Royal Mail.
The workers voted 91 per cent for strike action in a secret ballot.
They have been offered a below inflation 1.5 per cent pay rise which would leave most of them below the level of the living wage - while their bosses have trousered bonuses of between 9 and 15 per cent.
CWU national negotiator Ray Ellis said: "The company's behavior has been totally hypocritical and the workers are furious.
"We have been taking part in talks this week at the conciliation service ACAS and urge management to avoid the strike by upping their offer."
Billy Hayes, CWU general secretary, said: "The whole union is behind the Romec workers."
The 1,900 union members clean, maintain and repair Royal Mail premises and equipment across the UK.
The strike could leave facilities unrepaired and premises not cleaned – with consequences for health and safety.
Romec - which is a joint venture between Royal Mail and Balfour Beatty – exceeded all its business targets last year.

I have been working out the low tunnel ideas for spring. On the MN forum there is someone else trying for the same thing so we have been brainstorming. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/mngard/msg1022193222011.html?28 The problems I have are 1. can't ask to put a big permanent high tunnel on the 1/2 acre I rent 2. want to extend the season and also extend greens into summer with shade fabric 3. My beds are about 3.5 feet wide and paths about 2.5 feet wide= 6 feet for both. So all the low tunnel needs are set up for Eliot Coleman's sized beds- just over 2 feet. So the 6 foot wide tunnel benders and 10 foot wide coverings will cover 2 of his size beds. Damn it, mine are wider! It makes sense to have them wider to make the most of the space but the usual 6 foot wide tunnels would only cover 1 bed! What a waste. So Soilent and I have been talking about making our own tunnels the way we want them. That is fine for the frame but all the FRC, film and shade fabric don't come in the right sizes! |

you could use pvc tubing and rebar. |

This is an idea I got from MSU hoophouse website. These are not your typical shaped tunnels, more rectangular shape. I know this won't work for snow country (outside garden/over wintering), but in a HH it will work just fine for me. I plan on using this type of low/high tunnels in my NRCS HH and in my garden when not being used in the HH. Use 1/2"x10' conduit bent to a 90 degree on each end. Cut a piece of conduit or pvc the height you want your low/high tunnel to be, slip your cut piece over 12"rebar (hammmer into ground half way), then slip the 90 degree end on (over/in) your cut piece. I didn't figure out what size fabric I would need bc this will vary in size for me (height of crop under). I will sew the fabric together if I have to. I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say here. Deb |
- Posted by Cole_Robbie none (My Page) on Tue, Jan 15, 13 at 12:46
What's the rationale that makes a low tunnel ok, but a high tunnel not ok? Both are temporary structures that are exempt from property taxes. If it's the work of taking it apart when you're done, both structures have to be anchored to the ground, which typically involves stakes or earth augers, and those are the big pain to remove. Everything else bolts together and can be rapidly disassembled. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Tue, Jan 15, 13 at 16:07
The difference in rationale MIGHT be the size difference, or just plain STUPIDITY on the rules part. |
For years, I used 1" plastic water pipe that I fit inside 1 1/2" pvc pipe pounded in the ground. No bending needed, and they will conform to any width you make them. The plastic formed a natural arc and kept its shape. The down side is they're not fireproof!! |

Brook, not much is. Look at your fire as a chance to start over. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 16, 13 at 19:25
Ack. So are you saying it is better to go with homemade version rather than buy tunnel bender so I can make them the size I want? Remember it gets really hard to find FRC, film and shade fabric in the right width. |
- Posted by 2fennelshirts 4 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 13 at 5:42
Check out "Environmental Green Products". They are a long way from home for me, but shipping was cheaper. Anyone know of somewhere cheaper? Deb |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 13 at 8:52
Minnie, I would buy locally, you can get a bender at Lowes or most any lumber/hardware store where the contractors buy. They will have many sizes. As far as the shade cloth, mine are stitched together with a flat seam (like jeans), you can also order many sizes from several greenhouse supply stores and they will stitch them together. I'm going to stitch the Agrifab together, just tacking actually, so that I can have the right size. I'm also adding hoops into the agrifab for the hoops. Also a string, to be able to pull the fabric over the hoops when needed. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 13 at 13:16
You can buy benders locally? |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 13 at 15:23
Around here, yes. Do you have a Lowes? It will bend 90degree easily, anything else that's some work. It is a EMT bender. |
I'm going to second (or third) the PVC idea. Its cheap, easy to set up and move, holds up to wind and though I don't really like the plastic factor, it lasts for a long time. 20' lengths with rebar in the ground can cover two 3 1/2' beds with a decent path between them. You could also widen it to cover more narrow beds. The 20' wide plastic film you would need is a common width. I made one that was 100' long and used it for 10+ years taking it down every winter. After I bought my 30x96 hoophouse, the PVC has been sitting in storage. This year i'm going to put it back to use again as two 50' lengths. -Mark |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Sun, Jan 20, 13 at 19:55
I don't want to deal with PVC as I don't have any clue how to work with and bend it and I have to do everything myself so no way. Rebar and tubing are what I mean to do. Dimensions are the problem. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sun, Jan 20, 13 at 20:02
Minnie, pvc will bend just by placing one end in the ground and stick the other end in another spot in the ground. Be sure that the measurement between spots are less than the length of the pvc. Pvc is the white/gray tubing that is in the hardware/plumbing section. Go into your local lumberyard and ask for it. You'll see that you can bend the piece easily. You don't need anything to work with it except if you are connecting 2 pieces together. It's really the easiest tubing to work with. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Sun, Jan 27, 13 at 14:52
Yes I have decided to just make my own out of 3/4 inch tubing. I am going to have someone sew two 7 foot wide row covers together and I can order greenhuse film in 28 feet and cut into 2 14 foot pieces. I am not sure about shade fabric. I think I will get 6 or 10 foot shade fabric with grommets and have the sides open and ties to the grommets. |
- Posted by boulderbelt 5/6 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 13 at 13:17
PVC has some issues but ease of use isn't one of them. You bend them into arches by hand as they are made of bendable material. |
Conduit or PVC is the easies to work with and there is no bending. Cheapest also check out youtube for many ideas. |
Wow rhashell, you waited 2 weeks to repeat what many other people have already said. Thank! |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 11, 13 at 21:53
Still stubbornly refusing to think about PVC. That freaks me out to think about bending it; I saw a thing about how it kinks instead of bending smoothly. Mother Earth News has a little info on low tunnels this month but mostly just hoops which I already use (little wire hoops are not low tunnels). I am not making a walk in structure; only something that will cover the toms and peps in spring/fall and the shaded greens in summer and then maybe some greens in winter. A few feet tall and wide enough to cover 2 beds. I can sit on my scoot for picking, or hands and knees. |
I'm going to put up another little PVC hooplet, about 12x50 in a few weeks. I'll try to take some pictures to show the process. PVC does not kink at all. It bends into nice smooth hoops. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 5, 13 at 21:05
I had some early failures with my tunnel construction in that the tubing I bought was not firm enough, even with wire shoved inside it. So now I figured out how to bend EMT into an arc with my foot and put that inside the tubing, up to the rebar. This makes the 10 foot EMT and the rebar together the length of the tubing which is 12.5 feet. I did 6 tubes last night and have as much as 18 to go. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Tue, Aug 6, 13 at 9:51
Congrats littleMinnie, I saw a bender in an auction Sunday and thought of you, but James said it was only a 1/2" bender and implied that it wouldn't work. Are you going to bury some rebar or something and then slide the EMT on it? If so, we drilled some holes and put a heavy screw into the EMT. We screwed the screw into the EMT til it hit the rebar and tightened. This helped to hold the EMT against the wind trying to blow it away. Even low tunnels would have some wind resistance. We got our greenhouse because the people thought they could just put the rebar in but not secure it. Good for us, and since they had insurance, they got a new greenhouse installed correctly. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 7, 13 at 1:32
Can you explain more about the screw connection? |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Wed, Aug 7, 13 at 11:31
I guess I was incorrect, hubby and son did it. they used a smaller metal tube (we actually was using top-rail for chain=link fence), pounded it into ground, cut off top that had been bent over (sawsall, I think), the slide the greenhouse tubing over the toprail, drilled a screw threw both pieces (self-tapping, I think). then we put band boards around the bottom, screwing them into the ribs also. I would take a picture, but it's all covered with grass grown over the connections now. If we need to remove it,, we would unscrew the screw, pull the outer pipe, then have to pull the small metal pipe. We did not concrete them in at least. I had a previous one that had a special attachment that looked like a connection with a tightening screw built into it. |

We have several of these low tunnels - the one in the picture I modified to use as a cold frame in the spring for plants. The only difference is the plywood floor. IIRC they are 4'x10' but I usually put them end to end and screw the bottom plates together.They work pretty well but are a little difficult to store (if you remove the gusset brace they stack). I use a concrete form stake to hold them down in the garden (one on each long side in the middle). I tried these without the gusset and brace but they did not stand well in the wind. Maybe a gusset would be helpful for you. Tom |
to keep the emt from sliding all the way to the ground you could make a sleeve out of emt or pvc the same diameter as the emt hoop to fit between the emt and the ground. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 22:09
I did do both a single and a double 'gusset' originally and it caved in so I took it out. The problem is I want wider than most people do so the stuff I have read people doing is fine for a narrower situation. My husband is visiting the garden tomorrow and I will see what ideas he has for a connection. Honestly he is only slightly better at this sort of thing than I, but has no interest so it evens it out LOL. |
I don't get it. this post has been going on since January. A 10' length of white or gray pvc cost about $1.50 each locally. 16" piece of 3/8" rebar driven into the ground (2 for each arch) 10' length of pvc will make arch 5' wide by 3-4' high. too big trim ,the pvc to fit. cover with film grow!!!! I have used these for years. I can set up 5x 25' low tunnel in less than a half hour. quick, simple no equipment needed other than hammer and a measuring devise... |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 15, 13 at 23:41
But I don't want a tunnel of that width. I want one to cover 2 beds with a path in the middle which is 9 feet wide and needs more than a 10 foot piece of anything to make the arc. It needs a good 12.5 feet long item to make that arc. |
my 11' x 15' high tunnel 1" x 20' pvc that size will get you 7' height in the center. since you want it narrower, you could either get more height or trim off 20' pie to desired size. I would just cover each bed seperatly. with a low tunnel. |
