Owner Builder NY: Central Vacuum
http://ownerbuilderny.blogspot.com/2011/02/central-vacuum.html
Tuesday, February 22, 2011. The Central Vacuum system is one of my favorite things in the house. It was installed by The Alarm Consultant. Brewster NY, owned by Paul Burdick. Paul's primary business is security systems, but he does central vacuum systems also. See my gallery of photos. The suction on the central vac is slightly less than the top of the line Sears Kenmore cannister, but it is not an issue. I love our central vacuum system too! May 15, 2013 at 1:23 PM.

Owner Builder NY: March 2010
http://ownerbuilderny.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 22, 2010. OK I have not posted on my blog for a while, but I figured I'd share the results of the Hallowell heat pumps. For the 2 month period 05-Jan-2010 to 02-Mar-2010, I used a total of 6465 killowatts, for which NYSEG charged me $746.67. So that is 373.33, for the 2 coldest months of the year. That sounds shocking to me? Anything wrong with my math? 183 for Hallowell, $896 for oil? Here are my actual bills:. UPDATE: PLEASE READ MY OTHER POSTS ABOUT THE HALLOWELL ACADIA. DIY home transfo...

Owner Builder NY: Master Bathroom Granite Countertops
http://ownerbuilderny.blogspot.com/2011/03/master-bathroom-granite-countertops.html
Friday, March 18, 2011. Master Bathroom Granite Countertops. The guy that did my kitchen countertops did not return my phone calls, so I hunted around. First I tried a highly recommended top quality company in my area, Terra Tile. Plus some granite ads I saw on craigslist. The cheapest I could find was $1920, a company called Innovate Stones. They also have an eBay store. As well as a bricks and mortar store. I love the granite, it is a Santa Cecelia dark. We wanted something tan/brown/black/white, n...

Saturday, May 3, 2008. Installing Foundation Drainage panels. Today my brother-in-law Justin and I installed the foundation drainage panels on the foundation. There are a lot of different products for this, but I chose one that I liked, and could get locally for a reasonable price:. Carlisle CCW MiraDRAIN 2000. Purchased at Masonry Depot. For about 0.45 per square foot, I got 5 rolls, each roll is 4 feet by 50 feet. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hallowell Arcadia - cold weather heat pump.

Owner Builder NY: Hallowell Arcadia - cold weather heat pump
http://ownerbuilderny.blogspot.com/2008/05/hallowell-arcadia-cold-weather-heat.html
Wednesday, May 28, 2008. Hallowell Arcadia - cold weather heat pump. I sort of ignored this suggestion, but then a week later I Google'd the thing. Well I almost crapped myself. It seems to good to be true, and you know what they say about things like that. The cost would be less than the combined cost of a Hydro-Air cooling system plus an oil burner heating system. Does anybody know if this is real, or just a scam/scheme? Please, pass along any information you have about this system. Http:/ www.bobv...

http://ownerbuilderny.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-york-electrical-inspection-services.html
Monday, December 6, 2010. New York Electrical Inspection Services. OK, I need to get my final electrical inspection soon. Some electrical contractors that I've talked to, tell you their total price for the job. Other tell you a price, plus a separate amount for inspection fees. So wanting to know everything, I got real curious about these electrical fees. Can someone tell me what the fee is? What is going on here? Labels: New York Electrical Inspection Services. I have the same problem. Have electric...

http://ownerbuilderny.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 21, 2009. Door Handlesets, Knobs, Levers. In order to save money, i've been searching the internet, ebay, craigslist, etc for bargains. The best bang for the buck I have found on door knobs was on eBay - The Lockset Discounters. I bought this handleset for my front door, for $37.07 including shipping and tax. Kwikset Arlington Antique Brass Smartkey Handle sgl-DB. Function: Handleset Sgl Cyl Deadbolt. Latch: Round Corner Adjustable. I will most likely buy my interior door levers there also.

Thursday, December 30, 2010. Links to this post. Thursday, December 16, 2010. Hallowell Acadia stuck in stage 1 only. My installer went out of business, but i know the guy, he went to work for someone else. I called him, he says Hallowell has not returned his call(s). Connecting that with recent speculative comments in posts about Hallowell layoffs/buyout/etc. Anyone have any idea or advice? Does anyone know a good Hallowell Acadia install/service guy in the Mahopac NY area (50 miles north of NYC)? I'm h...
