Not exactly sure of what type of heating you are talking about, but, simplistically, heat rises, so I would expect a "ceiling" unit would have to work harder...I do know about ducting, and the primary issue with flexible vs. typical sheet metal is air flow.

I've since made a much sturdier one that's all metal.

That's what I was kind of thinking-- maybe rent a couple of dumpsters and scrap out the metal parts :idea: No occupancy codes in this area and 7 ft. ceilings crop up in the older places more than you'd think.

In fact there's a company called Ryedale that makes a machine that seperates pennies based on the metal content for investors who resell coins for their metal content.

I have seen it in the straight lengths and the coil, but should I use?

I wholeheartedly agree with you.Using the same metrics how would ones typical stock portfolio, savings account, or precious metal vault (or any other investment vehicle) compare in 20 years time?

I am referring to the situation where the buyer's financing is approved and the seller has met all his obligations, but the buyer does not bring the closing funds nor execute the purchase/loan documents.I know the earnest money is forfeited, and a lawsuit might follow, but what about insurance and letting the insurer sue to recover?

I went in Wed AM with the glass man, and saw that the stove drip pans and coils were in the sink, so the cleaner had been there.

Tim, Do you mean buying precious metals to guard against inflation?

Everything else is where the RISK is, Dirt will B worth more tomorrow...I'd wager my bottom dollar on it (& already have)Truly NOBODY "loses" on REAL Estate in the long haul, it just doesn't happen.U can't say that about anything else except precious metals 8)
