Friedrich Window Thru-Wall

So buy a case of construction adhesive and some sheets of 2" rigid foam insulation to toss on the inside of that shop roof, Charlie. Get that place -insulated- before you spend any more money on new a/c units, eh? With proper insultion, you may not need new units.

I can't decide what tool to buy next

Also, walking into the house with a finished project after a few hours in the shop is not near as satisfying as spending weeks of evenings and weekends to finish a square project.

Another heating question

Also consider that you will need to run the heat 24/7 in your shop with a 90+ furnace. if you shut it off the condensate lines freeze and may break, or at least the condensate in the furnace will freeze, and render the furnace inoperable until you get it thawed out. Try do that without heat!

Dust Collector Recommendations Needed

A typical shop vac will move a tad over 100 CFM. A HF dust collector is rated at 1200 CFM, but my bet is they are bragging a bit high. Even so, about 10 times the air flow. You need air flow to move chips, static pressure, (suction), don't do squat for moving chips.

ice maker odor/taste questions

Throw all the ice away and clean everything and pour vinegar in your tray and leave until it dumps. Then just dump and throw away the next batch. Start testing the next batch as soon as it dumps, but test some and leave the rest in the bin, testing them after they have been there ...

Removing DRM from BBC Radio downloads ?

You could try Total Recorder http://www.highcriteria.com/ It's not free but I've used it for 15 years. It records off the PC sound card or software and is also good for capturing music/speech off a microphone or USB audio interface. rusty
