    I'm planning out the space and hope to keep the room a little cooler by directing some heat up through the ceiling to my already blazing hot loft...

    I've seen these, and now I found a source... but the source claims to be a 'manufacturer" but handles his phone calls & his ability to return calls (or lack thereof) like some home based web reseller... so, I don't trust them, AND I think they are overpriced... BUT I NEED THIS!!!! IDEALLY...
  8. confused about tiny incised lettering... "engraving fonts" ?
