(MoneyWatch) It is increasingly clear that the ongoing housing recovery is the real deal. But that doesn't mean that homeowners, and the rest of the U.S. economy, is in the clear.
Despite large gains in home prices, foreclosures drying up and millions of homeowners recovering the equity they'd lost during the subprime crash, a few lingering risks are worth keeping an eye one. And the question with some of these threats isn't if, but when, they will actually occur, and what the reaction will be.
Here's a look at the top five threats CLICK HERE FOR THE STORY

BreezGreenBuilder Ventilation Fans
Built-in Lighting in a Power Efficient, Quiet System
BreezGreenBuilder ENERGY STAR qualified fans are remarkably energy-efficient with the use of DC motors. The GreenBuilder fan exceeds the ENERGY STAR efficiency requirement by as much as 835% and has attained the lowest noise level rating available of <0.3 sones. It is offered in a fan/light combination or fan only, and at 50 or 80 CFM or dual speed.
Features:
Innovative DC brushless motor design for long life, low noise, and low power consumption.
We recently participated in the ORACCA Brazing Class at PCC - Cascade Campus, Portland, OR.
The Class was at Portland Community College and was attended by more than 30 contractors, techs & new students. Build Products Northwest, Lucas-Milhaupt & Goss Torches helped sponsor the Brazing Class.
At the end of the class every students needed to complete six correct brazed joints to pass. Afterwards we tested the new brazing rings which impressed the attendees on the speed and ease of the rings.
Features a pivoting housing that fits both square and rectangular footprints and mounts to round or rectangular ductwork.
This unit senses smoke in the most challenging conditions, operating in airflow speeds of 100 to 4,000 feet per minute, temperatures of –4°F to 158°F, and a humidity range of 0 to 95 percent (non-condensing). A plug-in sensor head offers improved false alarm immunity and simple installation, testing, and maintenance. An improved cover design isolates the sensor head from the low-flow feature for simple maintenance.
We recently conducted several Standard Refrigeration training classes in the Northwest. At the classes we introducted their ChillerBuilder Kits with Brazed Plate Heat Evaporators. The kits which are available now were a huge hit. The attendees were impressed with the ease of the kits and the small size.
