Yeah, with the heavy manufacturing base here, we see a lot of three phase stuff on CL. There's often phase converters for sale or a lot of guys just switch to single phase motors if they can.

Massive air compressors - Milwaukee http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/tls/5880641046.html $200 each!! Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

I bought an 8x12 from Home Depot for $1,600. I had to supply the footers, floor and shingles. It came with a transom window over the doors. It's a wood kit and everything was cut to size and ready to go. I took it home in my pickup truck. The quality is...meh. It's looks good painted, but...

You did the same thing I did; I made my 8 year old daughter stand in the top drawer while I slid it back and forth. Got a funny look from an employee but he didn't object. I didn't stand in any drawers though, I'd probably tip it over... No hutch yet, but I think some have been made. Spend...

If you don't mind my asking, what did the propane tank cost? What does an exchange cost and/or do they refill it onsite?

Yay Wisconsin! Fish fry for lunch today, some Spotted Cow later and a stop at the bubbler on the way out from work.

Hmmm... are you an undercover code enforcement agent or an IRS agent? :beer:

So I know this "guy" who works on cars in his garage; some for a profit. He lives in a subdivision with no HOA, but there are city ordinances about parking inoperable, unregistered vehicles on personal property. He occasionally brings home a parts car, but it's stripped and off to the...

I'd be game!!

Vapor barrier - Aluminum siding over pressboard sheathing! So yeah, no vapor barrier. Not enough snow to pile up against the wall. So far, no moisture issues, but I will be watching it closely.

Whatever you use, stay away from the Eastwood Rust Converter and Encapsulator. They just don't work no matter how much prep you do.

Snap-On Solus Pro here. Great scanner w/ bi-directional controls. Only get a Modus if you need the scope capability. I also have a Vantage Pro which is the scope and component tester in one. Drawbacks are they need keys for different vehicles, but you can find keys by the set or one at a...

There so many variables at work here. I am like you; I had one single 20 amp circuit and no natural gas so I was running a portable kerosene heater that needed to be plugged in. It was noisy, smelly and I always had to stop to refill it. I also had to have enough floor space in front of it so...

WE Energies will be there in like 20 minutes or less if you call them. They'll have a guy come out and find the source and either fix it or offer a solution. They DO NOT mess around. Just an FYI, 25% of the LEL (lower explosion limit) can be smelled for several blocks around the source of the...

Love it! Great to see this stuff rescued.
