Which pump do you use ?
Q
Comments (8)
For a small pump, I LOVE Danner Pondmaster pumps. I have three of fhe 1800 gph ones and a small one that have all been running for around 6 years. I use these on various quarantine tanks and smaller ponds. On the big pond, I have W. Lim Pumps (1/16 hp, 1/4 hp and 1/6 hp). The Lim pumps are extremely quiet and efficient, although pretty expensive. I am also running a small sequence pump on one pond, 3000 gph sorry I am not sure of the model number on that one. It's a great pump too!! Ya'll really don't want to know how much my electric bill is with all these pumps running.....lol!!! Cindy

Panasonic Whisper options - which do you use?
Q
Comments (23)
You're pretty much stuck running a dedicated 20 amp circuit to each WhisperWarm. What it really comes down to is the size of the wire going from your panel to the bathroom. The breaker is sized to match the size of this wire, not necessarily the loads that will be put on it. So, you could put a larger breaker, but then you've got a nice fire risk when you run more current than it was designed for through it. Not to mention you can pretty much nullify your home insurance policies if there's a 30A circuit running on 12 gauge wire. So, your options would be to change out the whole wire run from the panel to the bathroom and run a 10 gauge wire w/30 amp breaker, or put in a separate circuit. I think the latter is your best option. Code varies by area. They might not go for having a 30a circuit for bathroom receptacles. Whatever you do, don't just swap out the breaker and call it a night. I hate electrical inspectors and hate many parts of the electrical codes, BUT, the breaker/wire sizing guidelines are not something you want to deviate from.

Which Method Do You Use?
Q
Comments (28)
At my usual bank branch, I smile at the teller, give her my bank book and tell her how much cash I need. S/he may ask what size bills I need, then gets the cash from the security window or the machine, counts it out and gives it to me, then asks me to sign the receipt, which shows which account it came from, then she gives me back my bank book with the transaction recorded, which I check. When visiting a different branch the other day, the lady asked for an access card, which I showed her. When she brought the money, I asked her how she could be sure that I wasn't a stranger using the access card that I'd found/stolen. She said that before she gave me the money, she'd ask for picture ID. The other day in the usual branch they had a poster recommending use of debit card (was it for internet transactions?), and I said that on the radio that morning they'd said that debit card was not a good idea, as using a credit card usually meant that if there was a dispute, that you'd receive a credit for the amount, but using a debit card would make the entire amount in your account vulnerable ... with no recourse. Not my idea of a fun ride. ole joyful

Which rulers do you have? Which do you use?
Q
Comments (18)
Over the last couple of yrs. I've had to buy rulers for classes: the 8 x 24, then 12.5 square, then 3.5 square then 4.5 square (I'm not doing angles yet). Despite all that, I revert back to the same rulers I used as a teenager (I'm 51): 2 x 18, clear lucite, marked in 1/8" (comes marked or red or turquoise). My latest pair of the last few yrs. once I started rotary cutting, I got one w/ a metal edge. I'm just sooooo used to the 1/8 mark & the almost automatic 1/4 that's so easily marked w/ these. Just last night I opened my first pack of sandpaper dots (had for couple of yrs.) after a small slip cutting around the 4.5" square. Turns out they're great! They're 3/8" in diameter w/ some adhesive backing, makes a BIG difference. From the LQS, comes 36 in a pack, called Fabric Grips (for $2.40). Try 'em! But now that you all have reminded me I own a 6 X 24, that's what I've needed for the last 3 wks doing homework for a color class, working all in 4.5" squares. Have to make 4 separate quilts, each 6 x 8 repeats finished at 4" square. I;ve cut individually around the square, yikes! Yes, NOW I remember the larger rule. Can you hear me smacking myself in head (you know, like the V-8 commercial)?

For myself it's the sizzix, only because I have some problems with squeezing. I think quik kuts has more of a selections.

I have only theSizzix and Sizzlets. Would love Quick Kuts too but I'm on a budget.

I have a Sizzlet and love it. But I read in a magazine the other day that you can use the embossing cutters in both. Has anyone done this? The choices are limited but I only do letters with it. My handwriting sucks. LOL

I have the Quickutz, but I also have the Wishblade. When I scrapbook at home, I use the wishblade most of the time unless I need a quick letter or two. When I'm scrapbooking away from home with friends, I use the Quickutz. I love them both.

Wishblade is an electronic die cutting machine that is connected to your computer. With it's software, you can type out whatever word you want using any True Type Font on your computer and the machine will cut it in any size you want. It's awesome!
