29. How to Make Oval Template Tip

I know that many of you do not use templates at all! They just trace take-offs and that's it - done!! But it's wrong, it's sloppy and unprofessional. The holes made this way could be bigger or smaller and if you need to place two or three heat runs in one joist space I even do not know how these geniuses would do that...

30. How to Work with Round to Oval 90* Boot Trick

If you are working on the heat-runs and using Round to Oval 90* Boots there is no problem if joists are 9" tall. However it isn't always the case... If joists are 12" or even 16" tall and your heat run is very short then what would you do?

Of course there is a simple solution - just add a short piece of pipe and keep working...
But is it a smart solution? Well, in this case you will spend some time on measuring, cutting and installing this freaking piece! You can do better than that!

31. How to Use Sawhorses Tips

If you would buy Tips for Residential HVAC Installation book by Larry Gardner (see it on this page on the right) in the Tip 1 he is writing:

"For a job site workbench I use two folding sawhorses and a 30" x 80" oak veneer hollow core door slab"??? - Well, if you are a seasoned installer and afraid to get any back problems sawhorses are irreplaceable! But a door??? In my opinion it's overkill! I cannot picture myself running around with a door slab and making a fool out of myself... While watching me carrying a 30" x 80" door down to the basement all the other trades working with me at the house they may whisper to each-other: this guy is a dangerous idiot, stay away from him... And of course it's not like I afraid to kick somebody's ass by this door anyways, but I just hate to buy a new one every other day...

However, reading this book is a lot of fun and you can purchase it by clicking on the link.

Now, let's come back to our sawhorses.

Yes, I never used them before and yes, I use them now daily. If you don't have too much experience of using them on a job site or never thought how to use them efficiently purchase these useful tips for the price of only $1.00 and believe me you won't be disappointed!

32. New Way of Snapping Plenum Together Trick 

The company I'm currently working for is using large 20"(23") x 20" x 60" plenums. Actually to the job-site they deliver two pieces that you can see in the picture and my task is to measure, cut to length, snap it together, fold the hem and install the top cap, etc.

However it's a challenge to keep these huge pieces of plenum in place - they are wobbling and shaking and it doesn't allow you, while snapping, keep corners even to each other.

So, eventually I resolved this issue and for the price of only $1.00 I'm ready to share it with you.
