thanks for the input, the panel is within direct sight of the compressor btw for the guy who asked. Off to buy some wire and emt! Although 10 AWG is sufficient with a 40A breaker, would there be any problem running 8 or even 6 in case I need to upgrade later? Just cost and a little harder to...

So, I am another guy getting ready to wire up a 220V circuit for my air compressor. Compressor is 5HP. rated for 20 something amps, seems a 30A might be enough but I am thinking a 40A breaker. The wiring run is a bit under 50Ft. I am thinking 8AWG or maybe 6 would be better? If I run surface...

Ahh dozer days, my kids (4 & 5 now) love it! We've gone the last 2 years and will keep going. Always packed. Draws an amazing crowd and is a great time. And I can relate to this thread as I am digging (by hand) a 2 ft deep 100ft long ditch for a drain pipe. Can't run heavy equipment and watch...

Like the title says, I am looking for two 11MM semi deep cman sockets to complete a couple sets I have. My set is marked GK, so that would be preferred. Thanks.

I've been working on copper airlines in my garage the last few days, I have never sweated pipes before, was intimidated at first, but it is actually easy and kinda fun to me. I am using short pieces of unistrut screwed to the wall with rubber lined anti-vibe pipe clamps for mounting. 3/4 lines...

I have a similar problem, I have adjusted/shimmed my doors until they are tight against the stripping, moved the stripping towards the door, it seals just sitting there but once a bit of wind hits it, it gets pushed in and opens an air gap all along the top. For me, it seems that the amount of...

No affiliation w/seller whatsoever I already have the same model I got on CL for $40, and it's bigger 3/4hp bro I got for $20. So I don't really need another. If it was closer to me I'd probably buy it anyway for the price. Just a heads up to fellow toolies...

Who if anyone is running one of these? They seem like a lot for the money. 7.5hp with pump turning <1000rpms rated something like 30cfm (website says 22.7 @90 psi) for ~1600 on ebay, even with the $100 lift gate fee it still seems like a good buy. Made in brazil, but specs look pretty good...

I don't really want to fill the ditch because it runs the entire length of our road and I think it would look silly to do so. Really it might work though because I am at the top of a small hill and the road slopes down in both directions. I had a couple contractors stop by just to get their...

Sounds like double wall corrugated plastic may be ok? Probably a lot easier to handle I imagine. My concern is how well it will hold up, it's a 250ft gravel drive so there will be loaded gravel trucks on it from time to time. Plus the septic pumper truck comes over occasionally. And I'm planning...

My gravel driveway was put in over a ditch with no pipe or way to connect the ditch on either side of the drive. Water is ponding on the uphill side until it runs over the top of the driveway. I want to install a small culvert under the driveway to reconnect the ditch that is already there...
