Better to take your time the first time to get it right, looks great!

"Intelligent Personalized Cooking" either that is some creative marketing words or it comes with a personalized chef. Nice score!

I was fortunate as my kitchen shared a common wall with my garage so I punched a hole in the wall and ran the vent pipe up through the garage roof. More like 72K BTU before being derated by converting to NG. Still makes short work of heating my strike water. I thought about an AIO system but...

I found this out very quickly after upgrading the range in the kitchen to a 36" Viking professional. I ended up installing a vent hood which has dual blowers and is vented to the outside. I brew in my basement which I converted my Edlemetal burner to natural gas. I also installed a vent hood...

For me if I have had a bad experience with a paticular brand and they did not stand behing their product, I would ban them for life. Sony is an example, I purchased my first Sony digital camera when they started to become popular. Shortly after the warrenty expired it crap out due to a known...

I should have been more clear, I adapted the 3/8" line from the 1/4" for the long run.

I used 3/8" line feeding the fridge's due to my RO system is in my basement along with my pressure tank. I have about 15' of line going to each fridge and it works flawlessly.

For my basement fridge this was the case as well. I just gutted everything and put in a quick connect fitting for ice maker/water dispenser. Removing the factory filter also freed up room in my fridge. For someone who can rebuild coffee grinders/mixers in your sleep this should be a piece of...

This Video should help you out. The pressure in the tank should be around 5 to 7 psi. I ditched those small expensive filters that come with the refrigerator for a full size one that services both my refrigerators.

I'm not sure what "coffee machine" that you are having issues with but for my superautomatic when I was running oily beans thru it it created havic by plugging up the machine where I was getting poor flow. Cleaning the machine only improved marginally, the real fix was when I removed the...

I should have added my untreated water TDS is 135, RO water TDS is 3. I also sanatize my RO system once per year along with replacing the filters. I get around 3 years on my RO membranes. I use Bulk Reef Supply for my system/filters which caters to the aquarium crowd.

I have an RO system that feeds my refrigerators and for brewing beer consisting of a sediment filter, 5 micron carbon block, RO membranes, and a 1 micron carbon block only after the 4 gallon pressure tank for post taste filtering. For brewing beer, I strip all the minerals out of the water to...

Below are some pictures of my Jockey Box build using Perlick taps, EVA barrier tubing, and a "conventional" gas splitter. Edit: I used SS Nuataps not Perlick.

I dispose my used car fluids at my local Autozone or O'Rileys for free.

I am the opposite, I will do my own auto maintenance until I can no longer can drive. I learned to do maintenance from my Dad, although I work as an Electrical Engineer, maintenance will always be in my blood. I had a discussion at work 40 years ago with a co-worker who questioned why I bother...
