Hello, I found your website on Google when trying to determine if it was advisable to remove alum fins from the copper tube in a small a/c unit, and then how to accomplish the task. The chosen link has lead me here, which promises to be a good thing. I am a widowed, 50+ year female who, until my late husband's death in Jan 2010, was responsible for our meals, laundry and the normal tasks many women assume in a marriage. If the brakes in my vehicle needed attention - he took care of it, new water heater - he installed it, I needed a bookshelf - he built it. Times have changed and I am pleased to announce my accomplishments of "Man Duties", ie: I gave my truck a complete tune up (with the exception of removing 2 spark plugs which were tougher than me), I've learned (don't laugh here) how to start a lawnmower & keep it maintained, I am in the process of repairing, replacing, and protecting the eaves and overhangs for my home. And a HUGE milestone was made when I learned how to properly use his power tools!
I have learned so much already but need to learn so much more! I keep a spreadsheet for misc $ my scrapyard is paying for specific metals in an effort to be 'a little smarter' when taking a load over. I am having a real challenge identifying the different metals at times, so the first test is done with a magnet, and then into various boxes and/or areas of what I believe to be like materials.
I will welcome any feedback or advice you may wish to offer or think I need to know. If I can offer anything I think you don't already know, I'll be glad to share!
Regards,
Harmony
