Desert Spring results

Here's a couple of pictures of my Desert Spring humidifier after the 06/07 season. This was in operation for about 5 months, and has the auto flush unit attached. It seems again that the auto flush has jammed again, and will need repair or replacement. I'm guessing that little flakes of scale get caught in it. This is the first year I used the auto flush, and though it is still moldy and cruddy, it is also a lot less moldy and cruddy from years past.

The perfect dining room light

Too bad we don't own the house it's in. I could use some information on this one as well. I guess I could write the new home owners. The house this light is in was built in '41 so I think it's the right period.

In search of Halcolite

The previous homeowner replaced a few lights in our house, Fortunatly this one remains. We're in search of a replacement for the dining room. In the meantime can any one give us information on this one, that's in our guest bedroom. It seems that most of the indoor lights in the house are Halcolite. This one has a UL sticker with 13471.



Buzz off peckers

I want some opinions on if this is wood pecker or carpenter bee damage. There are some pictures of old, now painted damage, and some fresh this year. I've got smaller holes that don't go all the way through, so I'm guessing wood peckers.

Also if anyone can help with information on repairing a hole in a cedar shingle that would be great!
