This is an explosion-proof fan designed for exhausting fuel vapor from the bilge of a boat. I bought 4 of these and installed them through holes in a board on the back of a 6'x6'x7' paint booth. Then I ran short flex hoses out to another board inserted in the lower part of a double-hung window...

Thanks. I was just thinking something similar after researching the scissor truss idea. Perhaps dual beams similar to what's above (or larger) spanning between new posts sort of "sistered" to the front wall and 3rd post interior post? Could work. I'll call an engineer. To answer your other...

Greetings. I hope someone can guide me on this one. I am certain many have needed to accomplish this before me. I have a workshop/barn where I am constructing an airplane. The barn is approx. 26'W x 40'L and it is a timber post construction (photos attached). Currently there are Qty 3 4"...

Been a long time since I've posted here. But I just jockeyed my kitplane around in the barn/workshop so I can focus my time back on the fuselage. The wings are now out of the jig and into the cradles. Fuselage ready for gear, tailwheel and mountain up the wings. Getting there. Slowly but...

Gang, Hang with me on this one. I don't know where else to turn. My wife and I are under contract on a wonderful new (to us) home. (which has an awesome 4 car garage barn BTW!). We just got the pre-purchase Home Inspection report and it calls out an odd discoloration or excessive wear...

I've been a PP-ASEL for about 6.5 years. BEST THING I EVER DID!!! 2nd best thing was getting my Tailwheel endorsement. 3rd best thing was buying a Glastr kit and starting to build! The wife is shortly behind all of these on the list ;-)
