    What else to do before I pour? (infloor lights?)

    I actually meant I had planned on digging out a footer for where the feet of the lift would sit. Appreciate the feedback. A 10k lift would be the largest lift I would need for my applications...

    What else to do before I pour? (infloor lights?)

    What else to do before I pour? (infloor lights?)

    Pouring a 40' x 60' slab in the barn - turning the area into a shop. Insulating slab, going to run some conduct in the ground before the slab is poured. Also going to have footings poured for a lift. Any other good ideas before pouring? In floor lights maybe? I've also heard of guys...

    Rebuilding an Ingersoll Rand air compressor - update and pics

    I bought the pump by itself, used. I have no idea what it was used for before or for how long. The air compressor was taking longer and longer to build pressure. It would also leak. I thought for the money involved this was a good investment to freshen it up. I still have the other parts at...

    Rebuilding an Ingersoll Rand air compressor - update and pics

    My old thread was located here and I hadn't gotten around to installing the rebuild kit. Better late then never I suppose... Here is what we are working on: I only removed the heads as I'm not losing oil and all bearings are in good shape. Pulling the low pressure side - the gaskets were...

    Heating a wood shop, in an old barn, with infrared?

    At this point I'm going to try an electric heater and a propane supplement. The two main objectives are 1) safety - I'm really worried about an open flame coupled with sawdust and an old, timber framed barn. The woodshop is located in the loft of the barn. I'll attempt to get some pictures...

    Concrete floor alternative in my dirt floor barn, thoughts?

    I'm buying gravel from him as well so delivery will be included. I have equipment that would be able to lift it. As they say, it's either time or money. I think in this case I'm willing to spend more time. Would a VB matter that much with these "tiles"?

    Concrete floor alternative in my dirt floor barn, thoughts?

    The barn is roughly 30x40 with a dirt floor. I priced out getting concrete poured and it's not going to happen this year...however... I came across a guy selling 5'x5'x5" concrete slabs for around $5 / piece. The slabs were cut out of a parking lot and very flat on the bottom side. My plan...

    Easy way to clean yourself up at home, AFTER the projects

    Dish soap and laundry soap I've used too. Guess my brain was fried after removing those cups. I was upstairs with the shower running wondering how I was going to get all the grease off. With little ones in the house I used what we had on hand. Baby wipes and bar of soap. Try it out, just...
