Heatpump waterheaters remove humidity and heat (provide cooling) from where they are installed and provide hot watter for less than half the cost of electricity compared to resistive hot water heating. The radiant barrier previously mentioned is also a great idea.

Instal a heat-pump water-heater in that garage and you get hot water and a cooled off garage.

LSJ mentioned that during switching brands, left over from previous might not get along with the new very well. So that's another reason to stay with PUP, as far as I'm concerned. About 3/4 of a quart topping off to keep the level covering the top hole in the dip-stick is not too bad for an...

I agree that the first years of driving on roads with traffic should be ONLY with a vehicle having 4 wheels, and I would add something with enough metal around that new driver to protect them. They can learn to handle 2 wheels off road at the same time. But roads with vehicles are not the place...

Pennzoil platinum and pup start with a pure base stock ( GTL ) and because of that do not require a high TBN to still protect at the end of an oc.

Here's my 2016 Honda CR-V with the K24W 2.4 L gasoline engine, oil change history to date: Build date 10 / 2015 so factory oil was put in sometime in that month. 1st oc 6,051 miles 2/14/2017 at Honda dealer, 478 days +/- 15 days & 6,051 miles on previous oil 2nd oc 11,599 miles 1/20/2018 at...

Real inflation is a number often hidden.

All true, but also, if the buyer has a job that has a salary that increases to keep up with inflation, then as the years progress, they are paying back less actual value per payment that is locked into today's dollar amounts. It may not apply to many, but when it does, it makes interest rated...

Hybrids are the best choice for a vehicle that's going to have a lot of miles put on it each year. And Toyotas E - CVT is bullet proof and one of the most reliable transmissions in production today. I'm in the change all fluids often camp regardless of what dealers say, if you want long life...

Deff solo driver?

Ambient air inside a passenger jet at cruse altitude has significantly less oxygen available for the crew, and ANY intoxicating compounds in a person at altitude have significantly greater affects. As an example, a person can have some alcohol in their system and appear perfectly in control of...

When I upgraded my 2016 CR-V the original gnd from the battery clamp to frame was long enough. Though I wish it was longer. I did the battery upgrade to 24F with the 2013 honda odyssey base battery tray and battery cover, because I was also upgrading the alternator to a 350 Amp at above idle...

Years ago, someone told me SOS meant Save Our Ship, and I've also heard SOS means Save Our Soul(s).

When applying any fertilizer, be sure its well watered down, and never let full strength touch any plant. Some fertilizers are so strong that if full strength touches the plant it chemically burns the plant, and can even kill a plant. Probably much better to apply a very small watered down...

Wheel366, you did not state the year of the CR-V this thread is about. If it has the 2.4 L na gasoline, a 24F probably would drop right in. If you want to upgrade and do it neatly, the battery tray and battery cover from a 2013 Odyssey fit nice into that battery location. And any Honda dealer...
