My 5 hp 60 gallon compressor shot craps Saturday. It's beyond repair and parts are not available. Looking for a good value for a hobbyist body shop. Ingersoll and Quincy come to mind but seems the box stores have some attractive deals as well. Opinions?

Anybody have experience widening garage door openings? My 28 x 28 x 11 garage has a pair of 9 x 7 and I'd rather have 10 x 8. The framing is straight forward. Have a 18" tall by 8" thick concrete stub wall that would need to be sawed through and ground to match the surface contour of the floor...

Please quote price on XPR-10A delivered to industrial dropoff at 50401.

Thanks bigguns. What you are describing is exactly what my concrete contractor recommended. Im scheduled for next month. Looking forward to the new floor.

Sounds like you are in a pretty development friendly area. I'm planning to move to a place like that someday soon. Enjoy your build!

You had the required building permit in hand when construction commenced. You did the right thing by meeting with the mayor. I can't see that the city has a leg to stand on. Around here the city attorney gives the final OK to any permit and is responsible that what is to be built follows...

What brand of building are you going with?
