This pic is two yrs old and it looks a little better now, but I've been there.............

This worked for me, but for a short distance it'll tilt easy and a dolly will work fine....

I used the HF threader($19.99), worked just fine with teflon dope,just secure in a good vise with pipe jaws and tighten away .If I never use it again or if someone "borrowes" it and i don't get it back Oh well!! I saw that too. so i just put the shut off before the union. worked out fine ,even...

That Champion Compressor (7.5) was in the running until I found this USED SNAP-ON 7.5. 80 gal also LOVE my old CRAFTSMAN back-up. I use it more then the SNAP-ON.................

I used crushed stone and marble chips in between. A sort of benefit is when you hose out the barn. James I had to do mine this way, in order for the pole barn to qualify as a pole barn,(not a permanent structure) the 6x6 pole can not have concrete on three sides.

Nothing fancy, just an old fridge that was going to be tossed Painted rustolium red Holds Quarters and Halfs :thumbup:

I've done my own and another barn using 1/2" and 5/8" foam insulation and NEVER had a drop inside........ EVER. Just wish I had used other then PINK. :eyecrazy:

Rich, makes sense to me, no rust no lube Thank you , Al..... anyone else have an opinion on weather leaving the lift up or down for extended periods of time will damage the seals in the cylinders.

Thanks Junkman, Has anyone had a problem with the cylinder seals just leaving the lift in the full up or down position for extended periods. And dose anyone use any kind of lube on the lift cables. I can see it being a dirt magnet with grease :dunno:

Just finished running the main lines, 3/4" black pipe, yesterday. I already had a heavy duty Rigid pipe cutter and I sprung for this Harbor Freight Pipe Threader ( Item # 30027. $19 at the retail store). I know ,before anyone rips me about Harbor Freight, it is what it is. The threader...

Scott, I went with a quart of red Rust o Leum (sp) with a 3" medium nap roller. It was enough to do the refrigerator a metal and a wooden cabinet. Do the handles with a silver rattle can, add the aforementioned Summit stickers and your in. :thumbup:
