I have an electric start lawnmower and the battery went dead. My mower has the battery built into the switch mounted on the handle. Those suckers are expensive. I used a lipo battery that I use in my Radio control aircraft. I put a reseting breaker and it works fantastic. This is my wifes...

I used lumber wrap. Up about 4 feet stapled to the top plate and roof joists Lumber wrap was free at the lumber yard. I put R49 blow in Insulation.

Re: Bendpak is seriously ****! I have a XPR10A from BP I bought 5 years ago and yes it arrived scratched where it was handeled by forklift. I installed the lift myself. Bendpac and the retailer offered me a smoking deal on the damages. I got paint, new stands and lift pads. I use this lift a...

Not quite done

This is what I did. I built this tank originally to set into to a bench top. I used it for year this way but things hove a way of migrating onto the lid. Also originally the solvent was always in the tank. I cut it down 6” with a plasma cutter and added a submersible pump, filter and nozzles...

I have done just what you are planning to do but with a metal solvent tank. The lid was part of the bench. That was the problem. When I wasn’t building a ****** or washing parts, Things start to accumulate on the lid. Then when I wanted to use it,I had to move things. A pain. I thought it was a...

I used this foam board in my pole barn. It comes in 4x8 sheets and the embedded OSB strip for attaching it to your grits

I also own a Bendpac XPR10A. I use it for everything from my 4door 3500 Ram truck to our Sabaru. Never plan to have anything bigger than that. Additionally I can get out of the vehicle without a problem when the vehicle is on the lift.

I put 4x8x 5 1/2” thick of styrofoam panels with osb strip every 24 inches full length. Just like SIPs panels. Just use long screws an screw in to the horizontal girts . Outstanding results. My ceiling was blown in at R-49 .My barn is 40x64x14’. It worked out very well and very fast. I didn’t...

I built my 40x64x14 a few years ago but I insulated it with 4x8 sheets of foam board that had OSB strips glued in flush at 24 OCthe full length of the panel. I bought this stuff at big sky insulation in Belgrade Montana. In my ceiling,I put blown in at R-49. My shop stays very warm in the winter...

I have been looking at buying the liftmaster 3800 for my shop. I have seen lots of controller issues. Maybe I need to rethink this until liftmaster gets it worked our:headscrat

I use the live traps because my dogs. I use the industrial box traps that you find at pest control company's. :bounce:

Just got the Sirus XM for the shop. I haven't installed it yet but because of the metal on the siding and roof, I suspect I will have to mount an external antenna. I like the background noise and can't get a good FM reception. Time will tell

I have a Jet vertical/Horizontal with coolant. I have used the heck out of it. If you weld at all,you can't live with out a saw.

I use a homemade version when I use my blast cabinet. Keeps the dust out of the shop.
