Every time I turn something on in my garage I here it through my radio as a crackling sound. Then everything is fine. I ran Three 6 wires and a 10 wire from my house to the garage over 50 feet underground in PVC. Used the 10 as a ground wire. Maybe I need to bury a ground at the garage...

I'd like to replace my $20 comalong with an electric hoist. The engines are about 800 lbs that they hoist. Any suggestions/pictures of what you guys buikt is appreciated.

Hello all, I'd like to replace my *** along with a real hoist. Ceilings are 9 feet tall. I have the strong LVL construction to hold up the Hoist. What do you guys recommend for a chain hoist?

I used 3/4 quarter runs and then 1/2 inch drops. Made a 1/2 inch tools set up with Filter reg and oiler. AND made another drop for paint and blast with 3/8 dryer filter and reg.

Missed it, had to go with the standard Craftsman Red and Black 28 inch.

Hello, I'd like to get a recommendation of cabinets for my garage. I would like to buy some cabinets to install at 5 feet on my wall across back of garage. I want to get metal. What do you guys recommend? Thanks Pat

Trimmed out a Window and wired some lighting.

HD came and picked up the IR. I called HD and asked what they will do for me. I ordered the Dewalt 60 Gallon 3.7 HP for 498.00 after discounts.

BTW - yes I'm on a budget because it is going into my Garage for weekend work. We restore old Chevy pickups as a hobby. Won't get the use as a mechanic would so did not want to pay more than 1000. Pat

Called HD to come get this POS IR tank. While talking with the rep at HD they said that item is since discontinued. Makes sense. I plan to go to HF to get that 5 HP unit next time they send me the 20% coupon on a single item.

Guess what? I gave HD and IR a second chance with HD matching lowest price I could find (625), 10 % off that and free shipping. Unpacked it this AM, oiled it and started it up. Was taking long time to fill so I turned if off. Right away - the ball valve shipped with the unit is bad. Leaking...

My offer from HD was to return the unit where I picked it up and they will give me 10% off the next order. What do you guys recommend? Should I go with a Husky 80 gallon? Is the Husky a Cambell? Pat

This is from the MASS IR office: Good Afternoon Patrick – I am writing in regards to your SS3L3 machine. We have a few options for you: 1. In order to replace the tank, this unit will need to be removed and brought to our facility in Marlborough in order to replace the tank or the...

No call back from IR yet. I did give a call to HD and the CS rep said to call them back and they will work with me to get some discounts to recoop my lost soft costs. I would need to put a second compressor on my CC while the new one ships and before I return the old. I'm going to hold to see...
