Keeping HVAC systems within the conditioned enclosure can be tough without a basement; one option is to use plenum trusses for the roof, which offer a space for equipment and ductwork.

I can't afford to save any more money. Too many good deals just about sunk me!
I know but 75 bucks off that 3x24 Portercable beltsander I've been wanting and free shipping was too much to shine on.
The Kreg pockethole system I've been eyeing for a year put me over enough to get the discount.
ohhell, at least it'll feel like Christmas when they get here.
'Nemo me impune lacesset'No one will provoke me with impunity
Thats good stuff. You'll be happy.
Which Kreg did you get, the K3?
I got the K3 big kit a few months ago, you'll love it. I think they made some really nice improvements to an already very good K2000
Don't recall. It was the next kit down from the max as that top kit was still offered only at full retail and the lesser kit was discounted.
I had to buy something else to hit $300 to get the $75 discount so the Kreg was it.
be Christmas is coming

Thanks for the tip. I bought the Fein Multimaster VL for $319. After the $75 off code, plus the 9 $25 certificates from Amazon Visa, my net cost was $19. Sweet!
I also signed up for a 3 month trial of Amazon prime club. Just need to ensure that I cancel in 3 months so I don't get charged $75.
Also noticed on Fein's website that I can extend the warranty from 1 year to 3 years if I send my product registration card.
What were the certificates 9@ 25$?
Not to steal his answer but I have the Amazon Visa, for every $ you charge you get points. At $2500 you get a cert for $25, and purchases on Amazon count double. I smoked up a pile of them on my last purchases. We have been using it for almost all purchases and bill payments. We pay it off each month so no interest. I have another one that does 3% on gas purchases up to a small limit.
Got to play the angles.

Thanks. Ya I've got one also,now I have to go look at what kinda credit it might have accrued.
Looks like I need to spend more so I can get some more credits.
Do the same here,only free internet via AOL. Charge everything..electric, cable,food,gas and pay off every month so no interest. They will do anything to get you to use their card.
Try 5% on all Gas and at Grocery and Drugstores!
Which card?
Citi Cards.
I just replaced my old Citi Account with the Rewards one and got the $100 gift card. Made the mistake telling DW that you could get the card for other than Home Depot. I like their program. May roll the spending over to it.
Bob
Hmm? I never got the $100 gift card! Do you have the card with 5% rebates on gas and groceries, or did you get teh Citi American Express card?
I have teh "CitiCard" I thinkn Platinum dividend card with teh 5% rebte. I saw an offer for the AMEX card adn a $100 gift card as a bonus. Not sure I need another card.
This is the Citi Diamond Preferred Rewards one. They credit you the number of points required for the $100 for opening it and doing a bal transfer and a purchase (I think it was $100) that is not returned. I was surprised at how many different gift cards were available. You could also use it to pay on the account.
What is next, Kryptonite?
Bob
I saw a week or 2 back that you got a bug in the puter? did you get it cured?
Must have been someone else. Couple of months ago I thought I had a problem but really didn't.
I think the amazon purchase are triple, and one for one on everything else.
I'm getting a little sick and tired of you people posting these discount deals right after I go in and pay retail for a damned new tool!
I just went to the tool store and bought the Makita slider, $469, Dammit to hell anyhow.

Actually Bosch is a good saw, I have used it. I just like the DW better. I am interested in my next field table saw being the Bosch. I would like to outfit that with the Rousseau setup.

The tool store that I bought the Makita at was offering a good deal on the 718, actually a hard one to pass up but I have probably $5-600 in blades for a 10" and I'm not going to throw those things away. Plus I dont like the flex in the 12".
I'm with ya on the Bosch though, ptoooey, I think thats how you said it! :)
Doug
If you use a Forrest blade on the 12" there is no deflection. I haven't had a single problem with that yet.
I went and put the Bosch chopper in my Amazon shopping cart, waited a day or two went back with to the site. They upped the price from 329 to349 why the $20 increase? Still a good deal but I really like the slide. One more day to decide.
go to http://www.cpo.com or is cpo@bosch???
better deals than Amazon...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->

None of the above.It is http://bosch.cpotools.comAnd they actually sell through Amazon. At least for some items such as refurb.But in case you missed it Amazon has $75 off on any tools purchase of $300 or more.Hard to beat.
price match and get free shipping...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->
