As a REALTOR, I rely on word of mouth referrals. I strive to get my clients the highest dollar for their house, but with realistic expectations. I have no problem turning down a client that can’t agree upon a sales price if they are sky high, it likely means they are going to be terrible clients...

I’m in Texas, drastically different weather, and I insulated to stop the heating heat. I did 1 inch of closed cell spray foam, it did the job beautifully. However, the cold seems to really penetrate, but a little kerosene heater seems to kick the cold pretty fast, at least to a manageable mid...

Looking for a new in-line drier for my new IR 80 gallon compressor. Going to have 2 hose reels centered in the shop opposite of each other. Main use will be a plasma cutter, so I need it dry and no auto oiler. The plasma cutter will have a small final water catch on itself. Seeing Klutch...

Looking for a metal cutting band saw. Something between $400-$800 for a home hobby shop. At least a 4” wide cut ability on a 90 degree cut, would be awesome if it could do 4” on a 45. The most important feature I’m looking for is to be able to take it from horizontal to vertical cutting.

Wrong section, can mods please love this to “Free Parking”?

We are looking to put in gas logs instead of wood due to the odor and how it affects my wife’s allergies. We are on propane via a 200 gallon tank. There is a pressure regulator on the outside of the house. We are being told that we need a regulator in the firebox by one company and another...

Doubling and compressing batt insulation is not a good idea, it doesn’t allow for the best insulation. Compressing typical R13 insulation reduces its R value. I insulated a cargo trailer and compressed it from its normal thickness to 1.5 inches. It was better than nothing but it’s at like an R5...

My house is 2x4 studs with 4 inches of closed cell spray foam and 6-8 inches on the roof. It’s 3300 square feet and currently running us $125 a month to keep it at 71 degrees in this Texas heat. We have zip board on the outside with taped joints and brick/stone. My attic yesterday when it was...

You can do a 12 foot tall door depending on your roof pitch and how wide the door is vs how wide the shop is

I painted my 30x40 14 foot walls and 4:12 roof after insulation. It took 20 gallon on the ceiling (white) and 15 gallons on the walls (gray). I rented a scissor lift and used my Grace Magnum X5. Took about 6 hours, but I didn’t have to tape anything off as I had the insulation company leave it...

I’m quickly becoming a fan of Everlast machines and currently running the 206Pi

16 of those sounds like overkill, but who knows. I put in 12 lights in a 30x40x19 shop with white ceiling, grey walls and polished concrete floor. They are 5k and 21,750 lumens each. It’s overly bright, but I routinely work under a welding helmet running a plasma and need the extra light to see...

This is what I figured. Thanks guys

20amp. Don’t have wire yet

We had a box installed on the outside of the shop to give power to a pond pump some exterior lights. Right now that box is capped as are the wires in it. I need to bury cable/wires underground for about for about 25 feet to get them where I need the plugs for the pump and light. How deep do I...
