Heller Dunkerque Battlecruiser, 1/400, L1025
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++, old
|Rare. The Dunkerque-class Battlecruisers were the French response to the German Graf Spee-class and the fast and well-armed Italian ships at the time. If the 1900 to 1930 span of French shipbuilding could be defined as lacking a clear vision or plan, the Strasbourg and her sister decisively ended that period. The products of superior design and engineering, the two sisters would re-define fast capital ships as would their near-sisters Battleships Richelieu and Jean Bart after them. But world events would conspire against these beautiful ships and there visibility in naval history. The Dunkerque was laid down on 24 Dec, 1932 at St. Nazire, launched on 2 Oct, 1935 and put into service on 15 Apr, 1937. Displacement was 26,500 ton and top speed was 30 knots. Main armament was (8) 330mm guns and (16) 130 mm dual purpose. The main and secondary guns were mounted in the first quadruple turrets. Both main 330 mm turrets faced forward and had almost unlimited arcs of fire - so that all main guns could fire when the enemy was sighted or in pursuit. Her superior speed would allow her to escape anything that she could not out-gun. Like most advanced ships of the day she featured the 'All-Or-Nothing' armor design or 'armored box'. The compact design and placement of the main and secondary armament allowed unusually high armor protection for a battlecruiser. Serious consideration was also given to underwater protection, and the ships had a unique and effective (as events would prove) anti-mine/torpedo system with a novel water-exclusive material. At Mers-El-Kebir, the Dunkerque was pinned at the pier. The British fired 15 inch shells, which the Dunkerque's deck armor was surprisingly resistant to. In an unlucky set of events, the auxiliary ship Terre Neuve moored next to her was sunk during the battle with a full load of depth-charges. Later, a torpedo set off the huge explosive cargo. The damage to Dunkerque was immense. She was hastily repaired and fled to Toulon, where she was joined by the hastily repaired Strasbourg. The French tried to repair Dunkerque as best they could but the wartime resources and material were very limited. However, when the Germans threatened to seize the ships, the entire fleet including the two sisters was scuttled in the harbor. The Italians raised the Strasbourg and stripped her of her guns; but she was bombed and sunk by Allied aircraft. In 1945 she was raised again, but salvage was beyond hope. In 1959 she was sold for scrap. Kit has never started. Factory sealed bag or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

Water Under Garage Mats
I have a two car garage, concrete floor, epoxy coated and two 7 x 14 HD coin pattern mats. Because of some low spots in the floor, I'm getting water (runoff from the cars) under the mats that squirts out around the edges of the mats. While the recommended way to glue the mats to the floor is with double sided tape, I don't think this will help and I'm thinking about using construction adhesive or silicone caulk. Any thoughts on whether this will work or cause other problems? Thanks.
There are a few ways you can work your issue. You can in fact glue them down. If you have BLT mats, you should use their Pressure Sensitive Adhesive. This is what they say to use. You can caulk around the edge to seal it, but if you have any expansion or contraction with your mats you might get bubbles in the mats. Or if you get a bunch of water you could get containment mat rather that the mats that you have right now.
This glue is made by BLT specifically for the mats
You can get the glue at http://www.jnkproducts.com/blt-adhesive.htm
Or the containment mats at http://www.garagefloor.com/park-smart-clean-park-special.htm

Istanbul to Ankara: 5 Days, 270 Miles
From Istanbul to Ankara was 430 km (270 miles) with 5,000 m (17,000 feet) of climbing. Not a crazy ride, but doing it in five days on heavy bikes, with basically no training, was a challenge. We have learned a thing or two about pacing ourselves and look forward to getting rid of some extra weight.[read more]
" Actually, Defense Department and space program funding did support the development of solid state electronics, just as cold war government support subsidized nuclear technology development.

"If using fuels to produce heat directly is typically more efficient than converting primary energy first to electricity and then to heat then using existing and problematic heat to produce electricity has to be the most efficient process of all?"

"Nice Hotel in Central Location"
Friendly helpful staff in central location. Rooms comfortable and clean. Convenient parking. Latin Quarter has many great restaurants and bars but also many homeless and borders on red light district. Overall area is safe and very convenient. I would stay here again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel!"
The hotel was very clean and the staff was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The location was also optimal as it was in a very centralized part of a youthful and vibrant college area (UQAM).Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location to walk to the old town"
A small, but very nice hotel. About 5-10 min walk to the old town of Montreal. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. They are not big rooms, but big enough for a stay in the city. The staff was very nice and the hotel has a garage for you car to park in (extra cost, but not bad) It is a great location to explore Montreal. Public transportation just […] around the corner. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"In the Heart of Montreal"
A nice, clean, comfortable hotel in the center of the city. Just a 10 minute walk from the historic old town and a 15 minute bike ride from Mount Royal.Genuine Expedia guest review
"My go-to place in Montreal!"
It was marked as "great deal" in the Hotels.com listings for Montreal when I was looking. So, the somewhat better price did make it a "great deal". It met my needs entirely: location, helpfulness of staff; condition of room; two computer terminals, since I didn't take my laptop along; convenient parking. It was everything I wanted!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very poor hotel. Actually it's just a motelGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"very nice"
Clean, spacious, accommodating. Rooms on the street side are noisy, but I had no trouble sleeping.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Awesome place"
Fantastic hotel in the heart of the city. Walking distance from the waterfront and tons of restaurants and pubs nearby!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"good, convenient, close to subway station"
very convenient; price is reasonable. Close to a shopping area (has supermarket and restaurants there)Genuine Expedia guest review
"convenient to Latin Quarter"
Pleasant because of staff. Efficient and modest accommodations. Close to several good eats.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Decent hotel with good location"
This hotel has a good location since it is in the heart of Latin Quarter and is on Rue St Denis which is close to the interesting spots. Rate is good too. Problem is that hotel charges $16 daily for parking. It is possible to find some street parking close by but it can be inconvenient. The room is pretty averagely furnished and biggest probably is […] that there is no air conditioning or fan so in warm/hot weather it can be a problem. Experience with hotel staff was pretty uneven with most times they not being very helpful and seemed like they didn't really care about customers. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel close to main metro and bus terminals"
The staff was very friendly and spoke English and French. We stayed 5 nights and they did a great job with housekeeping and always said hi/bonjour to us when we passed by the desk.Genuine Expedia guest review
Great location, nice hotel. Pillows not to my liking - too hard, but otherwise great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Saint-Denis near Old Montreal"
Great hotel. The only thing lacking is breakfast but you have cafés all around. Great location. A 20 minute walk down to Old Montreal. Right near all sorts of public transportation. Great wifi connection, too.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great all around"
I enjoyed staying here very much! The hotel is in a perfect location to get most anywhere in the city. My travel preferences are location over hotel amenities, since I really only need a place to sleep. A Metro stop just two blocks over, a bus stop on the same block, and easy walking to many places make it a great choice. The front desk staff were very […] friendly and helpful. The room was quite comfortable, and clean. I will definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again when visiting. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel St. Denis"
I spent a few nights here and it was ok. If you've got the money though I'd stay somewhere else. The matress was soft and the tv remore didnt work. There was a beeping smoke detector my first night (though this did eventually get fixed). The location is great, although there is a scary alley right next to the hotel off of St. Catherine street where […] some poeple were hanging out. Perfect for younger travellers on a budget, but I'd look elsewhere if you require more comfort. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Basic, clean, safe"
Can't beat this price, and the room has all the necessary basics. No in-room safe, the hairdryer was weak, and the parking garage was difficult to access, but at a double occupancy rate that's not much more than a hostel, I think this is as good as it gets.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great for the price"
The staff was amazing. Very nice. The surrounding area was OK. Lots of restaurants and lots of homeless.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Staff, Good Location"
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I plan on staying here again when I come back to Montreal.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Stay will stay again"
We really enjoyed the hotel. We were surprised how big the room is, especially because the Lobby is small. The room was very clean. Hotel staff was very helpful. Though we all wished they had told us about the cool lounge area downstairs when we arrived we would have taken advantage of it! It is about a mile away from shopping and dining in the city....but […] that's an easy walk or cab ride away, and there is also the Metro...we are used to walking so didn't mind the stroll at all. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great value for the price"
A very nice hotel in Montreal within walking distance of the convention center. It's in a nice part if town so you can feel comfortable walking outside at any time at night. The staff was very helpful and the rooms were reasonably sized but very clean and well kept.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Decent, basic hotel"
A good choice for no-frills, basic accommodation. Spacious rooms, comfy beds but no amenities to speak of. Location is its biggest advantage, near UQAM, the spiffy new library and the main bus station. Good value for the money.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Cool"
We really liked this hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms quite clean and conmfortable. A lot of construction going on in the surrounding area so we had to go "around the block" a few times with detours to find it and there was a slightly "sewer-like" smell in the lobby that we thought might be construction related. The lot was close […] by but quite old and scary to park a large vehicle in, but we managed. I do think that the cost of park should be included as a courtesy but it was still great to have the parking available. We would definitely stay again at the discounted rate. The area is great - lots of shops and restaurants and very convenienty to everything. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient location for visiting Montreal"
We used the hotel as a staging place and pretty much walked all over the city - it's a reasonable walk (15 mins) from Chinatown with Vieux Montreal a bit farther. Less than a block from the Berri-UQAM metro was convenient and pretty much sandwiched between le village gai and the le quartier latin - the latter being a bit seedy, but not at all unsafe, […] just unseemly. The hotel had a funny smell and they were a bit touchy about having guests comes to your room (my son came to see us and we had to move our visit to a common area - which I thought was ridiculous). But it was a great value, literally down the street from the festival Montreal en lumiere, and a hop-skip-and-a-jump from Archambault (Quebec's oldest bookstore). I'd stay there again - far more personable and real than any chain, a good buy and nice to be somewhere where you can open a window. Not a great place to stay if you plan to spend a lot of time in the room - the tv didn't face the bed, or any other place to sit, for that matter. But perfect for in and out visitors to Montreal. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Can't beat it"
Great location. Close to lots of restaurants and shopping. Also convenient to Metro. I felt very safe and comfortable here. We don't care about views or lavish decorations. We just needed a casfe, clean, comfortable place to sleep, and that it was! Staff was friendly and helpful. And the price was EXCELLENT. The *only* thing I would change is I would […] put the telephone next to beds instead of across the room. It makes it difficult to answer calls immediately if you're in bed. Also, cleaning staff didn't close our door all the way one day, so when we got back, we noticed the door was ajar. They also threw away some special face soap I use, but that's probably because it's black (charcoal) and they probably thought it was mildew or something. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Clean room and centrally located"
Great hotel which offered plenty of space for three people (2 beds and a fold-out couch-bed). Centrally located, parking available (I think it was $18 a day, in a garage), helpful staff at the front desk!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Clean and warm, great location"
I arrived at the hotel at 7 am - way too early to check in - but the hotel had a basement locker and bar area where I could store my luggage and sleep for a few hours. No one bothered me there, and I felt safe. The hotel staff were very nice. Even though they insisted that the hotel is totally non-smoking (with penalties), I could still smell a little […] smoking from another room. You can't control the room temp, but the room was comfortable for mid-January (there's also a space heater). I thought the hardwood floors in people's rooms overhead and the club next door would make for a lot of noise, but neither did (I was on the second floor). My room was clean and the hotel's small and cozy - it was everything I needed it to be, but it's not luxurious, so don't expect it. I really enjoyed my stay and I'll definitely stay there again. It's literally 100 meters from a hub metro stop, so the location's perfect. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Exterior questionable/ Comfortable interior"
We were able to walk to Notre Dame, China Town and the underground city/ metro from this location. St. Denis street itself is packed with great restaurants, bars and shopping. The hotel looked rather sketchy from the outside but once inside it was clean and the people at the front desk were friendly. We had a very large king size bed that was very comfortable. […] Room service was great but a bit loud at 8:30AM when they got their start cleaning. Parking was right around the corner in a safe, underground garage- it did cost $16 for a 24-hour period which was an extra expense we didn't consider. WIFI was free and fast. I would recommend staying here so long as you aren't turned off by the exterior of the building. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"24 hour secure parking garage was very convienant"
Very clean and spacious and friendly. I would come again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Perfect for tourist on a budget."
The room was very clean and tidy. Hotel staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was on the small side, but perfect for a budget traveler. The building is older, but has a pleasant charm. The local neighborhood seemed slightly rundown, but the location is perfect for seeing old Montreal and using public transportation. The only thing that bothered […] me a little was that I could smell smoke in the hallway from adjacent rooms. But, the smell wasn't really in my room enough to complain about, mostly undetectable. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"At Denis"
Everything was great. Except one thing, the parking card stopped working and we had to wait for a long time to get our car. Other than that , it's a decent hotel for its priceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location, very homey"
This hotel is right in the Latin quarter and less than a two minute walk from a metro that has all 3 lines. St. Catherine street is less than a block away so it is close to many shops and bars. The hotel was very small, but had a homey feel. There is usually just one person working in the lobby, and they are willing to give suggestions and make reservations […] for you upon request. I suggest utilizing the hotel's restaurant suggestions, I did and they were all delicious! This hotel is great for couples, but maybe not for families. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel in Downtown Montreal"
I think the hotel staff her is great, we had arrived in Montreal around 12pm and they were able to find ready rooms for us and allowed us to check in early. The hotel was clean, comfortable and centrally located for sight seeing.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great experience at the Hotel St-Denis"
Clean, quiet, and a very good bargain. No complaints whatsoever. Strongly recommended.Genuine Expedia guest review
Although the Ratings of the Hotel recommended a stay there, ist was a real dissapointment. Hotel is very old and has almost no services at all. Room was clean, staff ok, but everything very old and run down. Location is perfect as everything within walking distance and the biggest Metro Station around the corner, but still we wouldnt go there again […] . Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Economical and near the gay village"
Clean, comfortable, polite employees and decent price. Would stay again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Reasonably priced"
This is a great hotel for the budget minded. The rooms are small but functional and were clean as well. Underground parking is just around the corner for a fee! Restaurant Pacini is next door and serves a great breakfast.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Location"
St. Denis is right in the middle of the Latin Quarter, and accessible to good restaurants, bars, theaters, and the metro stop. I would call the accommodations 2.5 stars instead of 3, but the room was very clean. The 16$ parking was well worth it as well. This is a great value for the price and location. I would stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good but don't take a room on the street side"
I recommend this hotel, the rooms are spacious, it is very central and the staff is friendly and helpful. Just make sure you do not book a room on the street (St-Denis) side of the Hotel. There are several nearly nightclubs and there was lots of yelling, loud car noises, music etc both nights I stayed.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to main metro station on 3 lines"
Great location. Close to metro which is on 3 lines, so easy to get around. Close to many walkable sights. Good restaurant next door, excellent breakfast. Many eating places within a few blocks. Would stay here again for the convenience. Bed was very comfortable. Individual lockers for luggage storage - we kept the key until we returned to collect our […] luggage on the way to the airport. Hint - buy a day metro ticket (or a 3 day), then take the bus from the airport, get off at the first stop and take the metro from there. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel is a little dated, otherwise pretty nice, one thing worthy of mention is there is almost no water pressure at all in the shower. The location is nice though, close to everything.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel St-Denis in Montreal"
The room was okay. It's an older hotel that was modernized and clean. Parking was free but around the corner in a secure building. Wifi was free. The AC was a window unit but it was cool enough I just had the window open. In the morning I saw two of the same strange insects. I was told they are house centipedes. A lot of legs. There were several eateries […] within walking distance but the neighborhood had some sketchy people milling around. I walked to Old Montreal (Rue St. Paul). It was relatively close and I really enjoyed it. It felt like you're in France (as I surmise as I've never been there) with a lot of out-door restaurants. I had Poutine and a local lager which was a treat. I would like to return with my wife for a pleasure tip as the we're foodies and there were plenty of interesting restaurants to choose from. I'd probably stay there again. The insect thing didn't bother me but I'm sure it'd freak my wife out. It's no different than seeing a spider in your house. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pleasant stay!"
We enjoyed the accomodations and had a comfortable stay at affordable rates. We would definitely stay again. The room we stayed in was on the back of the hotel on third floor, so room was very quiet. The bed was very comfortable. The only recommendation was it was time to ditch the two chairs in our room which were stained and dirty looking.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good but noisy"
Within walking distance to Old Montreal, Bonsecourus Market and downtown, Notre Dame Basilica, close to main St. Catherine Street and shopping. St. Denis is also a major street. Room is sufficient for what we needed, very comfortable bed and pillows, clean, and we asked for refrigerator, which we got too. Toilet flushing was a bit problematic, but was […] not a major problem. The biggest downside was the street noise, very loud through 3am. There was an air conditioner still in the window, so the window was kind of partially open so to say. If you stay here, ask for a room away from the street. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location"
We had a great time, staff was very friendly and helpful and the location is perfect – a 5 or 10 minute walk to Old Montreal, two minutes from the "hub" Metro stop, and close to several really good restaurants (we loved O'Thym).Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"My New Fave Montreal Hotel"

"Nice, quiet hotel in great location!"
We booked this hotel without a lot of knowledge of Montreal, and were pleasantly surprised. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the location was excellent - very close to the Metro and the many restaurants of the Latin Quarter. Not a luxury hotel, but close to all we were looking for.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Well located."
As air travelers who walked to places of interest such as the waterfront and university we easily found places to eat and sites to visit. We felt safe and found the neighborhood interesting, the staff friendly and helpful, the room clean and comfortable. A competitive value.Genuine Expedia guest review
Convenient location and room was OK. I would have liked to have conditioner in the unit, not just shampoo, lotion and soap. Seems like a small detail but one that makes a difference.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Like many here, I recently broke a hydrometer. Luckily I didn't need it right away, as I broke it while cleaning it after brewing. Got me thinking about the need for redundancy with my equipment. Specifically, my hydrometer, glass thermometer and bottle capper. I was thinking that if I broke my red plastic capper half way through bottling a batch I might be screwed. Anyone else have redundancy in this or any other equipment? Do cappers break?
NickTrash Paper Brew WerksShirts and stuff
Bottle filler.
Of course! One broken item could ruin your brew or bottling day. I got a brix refractometer on ebay cheap in case the hydro breaks, I usually have 3 different thermometers in use because I don't trust them. And I have been bottling half a batch and kegging the rest, if the capper would ever break it all goes in the keg.
I broke my hydrometer WHILE BREWING! Wasn't able to get the OG but hoping my nifty Brew Master IPad app calculated it for me correctly.
I never use my hydrometer to calculate anything but my OG so it's only out once during brew day for a few minutes and once or twice near it's finish then it goes right back in to hiding. I've spent my last dime on those things hopefully!

Dow Theory Non Confirmation Signal: Spring 2012 Repeat?
Dow theory can be a valuable tool to have in your toolkit. Especially if you keep the confirmation and non-confirmation signals in perspective of their given timeframe. On March 2nd, when the markets were near peak levels, I posted a research note on Dow Theory highlighting the weakness in the Dow Jones Transportation Index (DJT). That wasn't a call for a market top, but rather a call for some caution

solar tube skylight
Does anyone out there have a solar tube sky light and/or a solar attic fan. We are builing a new home and I would like to incorporate these if they are as good as they sound. What brands, sizes, how compares to electric? I would build as much of a green house as possible if we could afford it. Also if I could sway my husband to my opinions. I feel like we environmentalists are far a few between.
Thanks for any help
I've had a Solatube brand tube light now for 3 years . . . VERY happy with it; does a nice job of lighting up an otherwise dreary room. I have two extensions on mine ( distance from roof to ceiling of room is ~ 6 feet ) and there's LOTS of light from it; of good spectrum; but NO heat gain. I have the 14" size . . . . there are other sizes . . other brands too but I cannot speak of any others.
As far as a solar attic fan is concerned; if you are building new then why not build OUT the need for one. I can see a need for one in an existing structure that was not properly built / vented; but I'd simply avoid using one alltogether in new construction . . . .
Consider metal roofing . . . I don't necessarily mean standing seam stuff that can cost big bucks . . . there are a lot of much more reasonably priced kinds out there in all colors / profiles that can really add to the look of a place . . in addition to making a damn good roof. They don't require sheathing / plywood; only a grid of 2 x 4's; and can literally outlast YOU . . . and when they finally have seen their day; are easily recyclable. Using loose blown cellulose between attic and living space will reduce noise from rain to an actually very pleasant sound . .. easy to fall asleep to. Compare that against shingle roof which is the norm lots of places and certainly has a lifetime and is nowhere near as recyclable if at all; as a metal roof. Besides; a metal roof holds FAR less heat as there is very little mass to it . . will help with attic cooling which you seem to have concerns with . . . .
I had two 10" solatubes in my last house. Was very happy with them. The light wasn't that dramatic because of 10' ceilings, but was alot better than the cave of a hallway that was there. In our new house I had the same thing installed from skylights-to-go. We saw them at a home improvement show last winter. Our ceilings are 8' now and WOW! what a difference! For the first month I kept thinking someone had left the hall light on.
Neither brands have leaked or transfered heat to the inside. For the money I think they're great. The only reason we went with skylights-to-go was a better warranty.
We have installed 8 sun tubes in our new house, 7 10" in the house and 1 14" in the garage. We love them so far they have made a huge difference in our interior rooms. Several of the tubes have 9' or more of extensions and still give off a lot of light.
These two photos I took last week in our interior bathroom with the door closed and the flash off.
This photo was taken of our dining room before the sun tubes.
I think they are a good idea.
Several of my clients have installed
them and all are very pleased.
Ceiling height and placement make all
the difference as does install.
I do prefer the Solatubes personally,
it seems sturdier than some of the
other brands I have seen.
I had two in my bathroom in my previous house. They were wonderful! Just like the previous posters have said, there was absolutely no heat gain. I loved them.
With regard to the attic fans, I didn't have a solar one. I had an electric one, but exchanged it for the one that looks like a mushroom (you know, the one that does not use ANY electricity, 12V or not.) I just loved that attic ventilator as well.
I have not seen any R / U values; or any heat loss calculations for Solatube. However; since I own one I can give a little insight perhaps; but no "numbers".
At least on the Solatube; there is a very good gasket where the diffuser meets the tube; at the ceiling. In my particular case, I have two "extensions" for about 6 feet from finished inside ceiling to roof. I used two layers of "Reflectix" insulation around the tube all the way between finished ceiling and the roof. The top of the Solatube dome is fully sealed against rain / snow; but there is a loose gasket to allow slow ventilation . .. lest condensation would form if the thing were totally sealed. So, at least in my mind the method of heat loss will simply be convective through the column of stagnant air in the tube itself. I was ( happily ) surprised that there has never been any condensation form in the Solatube; I attribute that to a good seal on the inside and small but definite ventilation of the air in the tube to the outdoors to vent any that might want to form.
I know; doesn't answer your question really; but at least I think offers some insight. I have 18" blown cellulose in my attic area; this place is very tight / efficient . . . I noticed no change after installing the Solatube . .. .
I don't know which brand our builder installed last week, but the kitchen tube is bothersome, because the glare is so strong. I don't notice it in the bathrooms, because the ceiling is not visible from a distance. I really regret putting it in my kitchen. I should have changed the roof overhang during the framing stage, so there would be more light in the kitchen.
It is hard to find data on their R or U-value. The home energy raters use a U value of 0.85 (which equals an R of 1.2). So they are basically a thermal hole in your roof.
the link below, near the bottom of page 4.
Here is a link that might be useful: rem rate estimate on solar tube U-value
I'll agree they're not better than insulation; but I'm not sure I buy the .85 rating either; or perhaps how it was derived.
My Solatube has a tight gasket at the dome end; and a very tight gasket at the ceiling. In my particular case; that makes a long tube ~ 12' long . . . of trapped air. While there may be some convection circulation going on there, I don't believe the heat losses are that great. I've never noticed a hint of any coolness coming from it . . it's directly above my chair at the dinner table . . and it would have been noticed if there was any. I've also noticed that snow sits on it in the winter . . . which is another indicator to me that there is little heat loss . . if there was, the snow would melt off of it.
Look at the R-values of Reflectix . . different in different directions . . vertical install, horizontal install; flow upwards, downwards . . . all different . . some pretty high, some pretty low. Again; I believe the methodology of figuring R-values is not perfect . . and in some cases; probably really misses the mark. Besides; R-value is a measure of a very specific thing under lab circumstances . . which are not reality. I live in a log home, which many attribute an R-value of "R-crap". No insulation, no R-value. Reality is that wood IS an insulator, under a microscope it is largely trapped air spaces. Also not figured into R-value of logs is the thermal mass effect. The combination works VERY well . . . and I ( and lots of others ) have the heating bills to prove it.
R-value is a very specific measure of a very specific thing, under lab conditions. Real world can be something very different . . . .
You are right about r-value being a laboratory measurement. And real world being very different from the lab.
And I agree with you the tube light are not leaky if installed correctly. But the R-value isn't about being leaky or not - it measures thermal conductivity.
R-value (ie., U-values) It seems to work for other types of windows.
Regardless, a solar tube would need to have more than seventeen times its 'measured' r-value to get to a decent ceiling r-value of 21.
Leaking is a direct loss . . yes; it is more about thermal conductivity as you say . . if you've eliminated any direct leaks.
Look at any insulation . . . f'glas, cellulose, rigid or spray foam(s) etc . . . and they all share one thing in common: Trapped dead air spaces. That is what in fact gives them their R-value.
In the case of a properly installed Solatube ( or similar ) there is one big trapped air space. Makes it insulation by virtue of having that. The one difference is that it's open and large enough so that thermal circulation / convection CAN occur . . and I'm sure does to some extent. That limits it's thermal performance vs having many, smaller trapped air spaces.
Once again; it's NOT gonna give you R-value anything NEAR good attic or wall insulation values; but again no window of any kind does. By virtue of the fact that snow sits on it and doesn't melt; I can't assign an R-value to it . . but if it was as bad as you suggest; there would NOT be snow sitting on it.
In the bigger picture though; when you figure how much of your attic insulation is "impinged" by having a Solatube or such; in term of area and thermal losses; I'll guess that all but the very best insulation jobs have more inadvertent leakage than a Solatube or two has . . . .
Last year we had our roof redone and had 6 solar lights installed at that time. They've been great except that today we noticed water droplets on the lens and opened up the covers to find excessive water condensation on the top of domes. We are pretty sure it is condensation but are concerned how this will affect the tubing, mold issues etc. We live in Idaho so I don't believe this was an issue until the weather started to get cold.
Any Advice?
Sandy in Idaho
We have 2 solatubes installed and have had no condensation till after we had a cold snap of way below zero temps. I noticed some dripping onto the lens and when we removed it there was some dripping inside the tube. We had had the lens off earlier this fall and we thought maybe we didn't have a good seal between the ceiling and the cover. Would this be the problem and how do we fix this? Any ideas?
We live in northern Wyoming at 5100 ft. All 7 of our ODL skylights are frosty inside and dripping condensation. If you read the specs carefully they say to insulate the tube as it goes through the attic in northern climates.
I have had Solatubes; was not impressed for the price and the plastic lenses at the ceiling yellowed considerably.
I researched heavily and found the ODL's. They have a glass lenses at the ceiling and are considerably cheaper than the Solatube. Side by side it's difficult to tell any difference.
Although I purchased my first ODL's online all the ones for this house were purchased at Home Depot.
We are going to have all the skylights tubes insulated with sprayed on foam insulation. For now we have towels inside the tube to catch any condensation.
I purchased eight 21" commercial Solatubes for a commercial client and when the materials arrived, boy was my client pissed. I think the total cost of materials (not including installation) was around 11,000.00 dollars. YES, ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLAR$$$$$$$$
They advertise this great new technology, MY BUTT!!! Its clear plastic domes and super thin reflective metal sheeting and thatÂs it. A good idea but by no means is this any advanced technology. For them to even state that is laughable.
The tube metal needs to be assembled onsite (with screws and tape) and is so thin (easily dented and damaged) that I donÂt recommend installing the tubes until all other trades are done. The lenses for interior ceiling are also cheap plastic. The only quality material was the roof flashing.
For the eleven grand I guess their costs were only about $500.00 in materials AT THE MOST. There are overcharging massively for the amount of money it costs them to produce these skylights. I wager they spend more on packaging and shipping then they do in manufacturing.
The warranties are good but who gives a hoot if the warranties far outlive the product. They can afford to give such high warranties as they make so much profit on the sale and count on people not coming back to them four or five years down the road.
I see these domes and ceiling lenses yellowing a good bit and in a short amount of time cutting down on the light transmission. They advertise a 95% light transmission from the roof to the interior lens and my light meter only showed around a 60% just out of the box. Not bad but not worth the money for such a low quality product.
IÂm sure IÂll get a call back to insulate the tubes as condensation is an issue running through the confined space. The true value of this product is worth about a third of what they are selling it for. I also see the life expectancy of these skylights to be about a third of traditional skylights before maintenance and parts replacement is necessary.
I have two ODL skylights in my kitchen. I have the severe weather ones that pass Miami Dade MPH codes. I am planning a new addition and adding five more skylights. I have no issues, and love the light bulb feature for use at night. Check out Home Depot prices online, make sure and order the extension tube.
Hi ryanaiden!
We saw that you are trying to convince your husband to go green so we thought the information below may be helpful. We listed 10 reasons to add natural light to your home to help cut down on energy costs. Hopefully this information will convince him! :)
Each year, 10 percent of a typical single family homeâs energy bill is spent on lighting. An additional 49 percent of the bill is spent on heating and cooling costs, which can be greatly impacted by electric light use and heat gain or loss from inefficient windows and skylights. When daylighting applications are properly applied, homeowners can greatly decrease the amount of energy used within their home. The New Solatube Smart LED system delivers beautiful daylight during the day that seamlessly transitions to energy efficient LED lighting at night. Here are 10 reasons why you should add daylight to your home:
1. Daylighting provides energy usage reduction during the most important time of day, peak hours, when energy rates are the highest and daylight availability is the greatest.
2. Integrating Solatube Daylighting Systems into home designs can slash interior lighting costs by up to 80%.
3. Solatube Tubular Daylighting Devices can bring daylight into dark spaces into homes and businesses, and can be easily installed in about two hours without the hassle and expense of reframing.
4. A 2003 study of office worker productivity found that exposure to daylight was consistently linked with higher levels of concentration and improved short-term memory.
5. According to the Wisconsin-based Daylighting Collaborative, about 86% of electricity in traditional buildings is used for light, fans and cooling. Adding Solatube daylighting systems can cut these costs by more than 50% by reducing electric lighting, because daylight produces less heat per unit of illumination than most light sources.
6. Daylight provides the truest and most vivid color rendition of all available light sources. At night, the LED lights in the Solatube Smart LED, offer the more beautiful color and are more efficient than compact fluorescent and incandescent bulbs.
7. The Solatube Smart LED, a fusion of daylighting and LED lighting, can deliver up to 94 percent in energy lighting savings.
8. Studies in Canada and Sweden noted improved student behavior and health, including fewer days of absences per year, in daylit classrooms.
9. The new NAHB Green Home Building guidelines specifically recommend that Tubular Daylighting Devices be installed in rooms without windows.
10. Skylights are cited as the number one option in âdream bathroomâ designs. Instead of making drastic structural changes that will cost you a fortune, a Solatube Daylighting System can provide you the daylight you need at a fraction of the cost with no structural changes or painting.
Daylighting systems (i.e. windows, skylights, Tubular Daylight Devices, etc.) are not only eco-friendly, but they provide exceptional lighting and have even been proven to boost morale and productivity (among many other benefits). By using a renewable resource, daylighting systems are able to harness the sunâs rays and help build a sustainable future.
we had one in kitchen in the house we moved from . Hubby installed it years ago. worked great. Only downside is during ONE snow melt is was "ripped or at least cracked. when my beloved aluminum shingled Zappone roof ,snow melted in sheets.
It was exciting listening to the avalanches. but snow blocked the garage doors and some of the front door stoop. . called Home Depot and orderd a new "dome" dont remember the price or if I bought 2 replacements case it happened again
Now this house we put or had installed a standing seam steel roof. No real snows yet......

Perez insists Force India was his first option
© Sahara Force India F1 Team
|10 January 2014 by Ryan Wood
Sergio Perez insists, having been told his services wouldn't be required at McLaren in 2014, that Force India was his first choice despite openings at both Lotus and Sauber.
The Mexican driver joined McLaren at the start of the 2013 season with much fanfare after his success with Sauber in 2012 when he scored three podium finishes.
However the Woking team decided to drop him in favour of rookie Kevin Magnussen - a decision Perez only learnt about toward the end of the season.
He says the Silverstone based outfit was his first choice and he contacted them after hearing of the McLaren news.
"When it was confirmed that I was leaving McLaren, Sahara Force India was always my first option," he told the official F1 website. "It is a very good team and in the same way as me, it is hungry for success.
"The discussions with Sahara Force India started around the time of the race in Austin. I attended a couple of meetings and held several telephone conferences before everything came to a positive agreement."
He doesn't regret his time with McLaren, but he's certain he's yet to show his full potential and Force India is a step towards that.
"It has been a very important learning path in my career. I don't regret anything: McLaren is a great team and I will always respect them," he added. "Unfortunately, for various reasons, the season did not go as expected and we ended up without a podium.
"The situation I am in now is different, but it's also exciting. I do not see myself as in a 'holding pattern' and this is part of my journey in Formula One. I strongly believe that my success is yet to be seen."

The retailer buys Kosmix Corp., a social media technology company.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced today that it will buy Kosmix Corp., a Silicon Valley firm whose technology searches and analyzes online social data, such as Twitter posts, to personalize web content. Wal-Mart says the purchase will help the retailer develop its social and mobile commerce initiatives faster.
"We are expanding our capabilities in today's rapidly growing social commerce environment," says Eduardo Castro-Wright, Wal-Mart's vice chairman and head of global e-commerce. "Social networking and mobile applications are increasingly becoming a part of our customers' day-to-day lives globally, influencing how they think about shopping, both online and in retail stores."
Wal-Mart also announced today the formation of @WalmartLabs, a technology group tasked with advancing the integration of Wal-Mart's stores and web and mobile channels. A Wal-Mart spokesman says @WalmartLabs will be based in Silicon Valley but was not sure if @WalmartLabs would be housed in existing Wal-Mart offices in Brisbane, CA, at Kosmix's office in Mountain View, CA, or elsewhere. "Our intent with @WalmartLabs is to develop ways to integrate what we do in stores with what we do online in a way that is relevant to our customers," the spokesman says.
Wal-Mart is the No. 1 retailer in the world by total sales and the No. 6 e-retailer in the United States, according to the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide.
Wal-Mart gave few details about its plans for Kosmix. But analysts say Wal-Mart is on the right track in making investments in technologies that increase interactions with consumers, online or inside stores. "There's data from interactions with customers from all over the place that Wal-Mart can take and factor into marketing," says Greg Sterling, founding principal at Sterling Market Intelligence, a research and consulting firm. "The more progressive companies are thinking more about that."
Lou Kerner, vice president of equity research at Wedbush Securities, says by picking up Kosmix, Wal-Mart is showing an increased commitment to engaging shoppers across sales channels. "They're showing they want to integrate the social graph as deeply into the experience as possible," he says. The social graph refers to the relationships between consumers on social networks.
Terms of the Kosmix deal were not disclosed. Wal-Mart says it expects to close on the deal by the end of June.
Kosmix formed in 2005 and is led by co-founders Anand Rajaraman and Venky Harinarayan. The pair previously founded Junglee, a database technology company that Amazon.com, the No. 1 e-retailer in the Top 500 Guide, acquired in a stock deal in 1998.
Rajaraman and Harinarayan went on to help Amazon establish its Marketplace business, and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was an early investor in Kosmix through his venture capital firm Bezos Expeditions. Kosmix raised $55 million in venture funding from 2005 to 2008. Other investors include Lightspeed Venture Partners and Ed Zander, former CEO of Motorola Inc.
Jeremy Liew, managing director of Lightspeed Venture Partners in the U.S. will speak at the Internet Retailer Conference and Exhibition in San Diego in June in a session called "The entrepreneur-financer tightrope: Keeping both sides happy when outside money comes in."

Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy Releases Anti-Solar Report
Update: The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is featuring the CARE report with members. Last year, ALEC's Board of Directors approved a model bill sponsored by the Edison Electric Institute to repeal net-metering legislation.
The policy and regulatory debates over solar net metering changes daily as developments unfold rapidly across the country. But one thing is certain: utility companies along with the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) entered this debate fully aware that their business model was under threat from rooftop solar generation.
In fact, 2012 board documents revealed in The Washington Post shined a light EEI's three-step action plan to slow the growth of distributed generation in their territories. While some utility companies are working with state regulators to better protect their customers and provide choices for ratepayers, many utilities are looking for reports to send lawmakers and commissioners that defend their outdated business model. One of these reports is from the Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy (CARE), a 501(c)(3) based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
CARE sent a press release on March 10 publicizing their new white paper, "Solar Power in the U.S.: Lessons Learned and Guidance for Policymakers." The report is intended to "educate both consumers and lawmakers about the various consequences of using solar energy." Marita Noon, Executive Director at CARE and the organization's 501(c)(4), Energy Makes America Great, authored the report. Noon is also listed as an "Expert" on The Heartland Institute's website.
CARE is a fossil fuel-funded advocacy organization that opposes environmental activism and says that the pursuit of renewable energy will "end the America we know and love." CARE also states that if solar and wind continues to emerge:
We will have a new earth--and it will not look much like the country people are risking their lives to get into. It will not be a super-power. Instead it will be a superconciousness, looking more like a hippie commune than the wealthiest nation in the world.
Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy
The Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy (CARE) is a 501 (c)(3) based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Marita Noon is the executive director at CARE. Noon is also listed as an "Expert" on The Heartland Institute's website. CARE was a co-sponsor of the Heartland Institute First International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC1).
According to SourceWatch, the Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy is a fossil fuel advocacy organization. The group opposes environmental activism and the pursuit of "green," or sustainable energy development, saying the pursuit of solar and wind power "will end the America we know and love." The group refers to sustainable energy advocates as "Gang Green."
In the organization's 2013 Internal Revenue Service Form-990, CARE reported receiving $119,535 from contributions or grants, and $30,252 from "administrative fees" and "internet/wifi use fees." The organization spends most of its money on Marita Noon's salary and travel.
CARE compares environmentalists to watermelons describing them as "Green on the outside like environmentalism, red on the inside like neo-communism or neo-socialism."
Documents Reveal Edison Electric Institute Campaign Against Solar
The rapid growth and emergence of solar energy in the electricity market has caused investor-owned utility companies and their trade association, the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), to create a strategic campaign to prevent distributed rooftop solar energy from gaining more share of the market.
Documents presented to the EEI Board of Directors in 2012 show the detailed plan to convince lawmakers, regulators, and consumers that distributed rooftop solar is unfair to other ratepayers. EEI and utilities want to squash the solar energy market and continue their entrenchment of the energy monopoly. In fact, the presentation EEI gave to the utility company representatives in the room frames their plan with the question, "How do you grow earnings in this environment?"

Willie Soon Secret Fossil Fuel Funding Revealed For Papers Denying Man-Made Climate Change
This article was co-authored with Matt Kasper.
Willie Soon, a prominent climate denier, received over $1.2 million from fossil fuel companies and foundations for research denying human-caused climate change according to documents released by the Climate Investigations Center and Greenpeace this weekend. The documents reveal that Soon described his work as "deliverables" for his funders when writing journal articles or testimony before the U.S. Congress, in a serious breach of ethics rules for academic researchers.
According to reports, Willie Soon has received funding from Southern Company, Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation (run by the owners of Koch Industries), Exxon Mobil, the American Petroleum Institute, and DonorsTrust (an organization that serves as a conduit for money from the Koch's and prominent conservative donors to organizations).
Southern Company has been funding Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and climate change denier at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics through one of its subsidiaries called Southern Company Services. The utility company has been funding Willie Soon's research since 2006 and reports from Inside Climate News show that Southern Company is listed as the funder in 11 papers in 9 academic journals written by Soon. In total, $409,000 has come from Southern Company Services over the past decade.
According to Inside Climate News, "the documents reveal that Soon and Harvard-Smithsonian gave the coal utility company the right to review his scientific papers and make suggestions before they were published. Soon and Harvard-Smithsonian also pledged not to disclose Southern's role as a funder without permission." Inside Climate News also explained, "Without exception, the papers question the extent, severity, cause or existence of man-made climate change."
Peabody's Energy Poverty Campaign Versus Reality at Powering Africa Summit
African energy ministers, utility companies, and private sector investors all gathered in Washington D.C. recently for the Powering Africa Summit at the St. Regis Hotel. The summit is designed to bring stakeholders together, including those leading the Obama administration's Power Africa initiative, to discuss increasing access to electricity in Africa.
The summit was an opportunity for the Energy & Policy Institute to interview African energy and finance ministers, along with investors, about Peabody Energy's "Advanced Energy for Life" campaign and the role they see coal playing in the electricity sector in Africa.
Not surprisingly, many people interviewed had never even heard of Peabody's coal campaign. The ones that had heard of the campaign thought it was a ridiculous attempt to sell more coal. All but one person interviewed said that there was no role for Peabody's coal in Africa and many advocated for renewable energy as the right path forward for the nations of Africa.
