I lowered the price to help get a deal done. Make an offer if interested.

I bought this heater for my garage. I found out that my garage electrical system will not support the 208v system and the 48 amps that it will draw. It is 1 or 3 phase. my next door neighbor who is an electrician says that it is a great heater, just too big electrically to be financially smart...

Definitely mesmerizing. I gather that his techniques are not 100% perfect (from reading the comments) but I know they are better than mine!

The dealership I work at would love to have floors that look like that. This year its new lighting, and next should be floors. I'll certainly pass your information along to the bosses.

I'm very jealous. Looks fantastic!

Joe, It took me a few days, but I read through this whole post. It was a fascinating story from start to finish. Your vintage automobilia is quite impressive. I was on Ebay looking around for things to add to my garage- nothing was found to fit my budget. Great work. really. I'd love to have a...

My almost-5 year old daughter loves to spend garage time with me. Lately, I've been getting her a pair of safety glasses and let her help me. I put a radiator in my mom's Buick last week and that 1.5 hour job only took a little under 3 with her help!

I got a hose reel for the garden hose in my yard and an IR air hammer. Thanks to the OP for showing us that!

No need to apologize. I'm learning more about the rapidair system every day. Although i can't answer your question, I would think that if you run the air line in conduit, it would be ok. I'm not sure i would trust it long term in the ground without conduit- plus it makes it easier to service in...

I know, Tommy. But now I have this shred of doubt in my head. On a completely different note, does anyone know if rapidair systems hold up outdoors?

Well, I already bought the 1/2" kit. So hopefully it will work for what i need. I was thinking of 3 drops, but I might just utilize two for what i really need.

Well, I hope that 1/2 will be enough for my garage. Maybe I'll invest in some of the flexzilla fittings and make radius bends instead of using the 90s supplied in the kit. I do most of my sidework outside the garage and its a pain in the rear to drag the hose past my 64 Olds. Plus, right now...

what size compressor are you running?

All of the research I did looked like most people said 3/4 was not necessary in the long run. A youtube video from sparkys garage used 3/4 and had to buy adapters for everything because his airlines/hose reels ran 1/2-3/8". My shop uses 3/8" hose off of my compressor. Unless you are doing big...

Did you use the flexzilla highflow couplers inline with the rapidair or did you use them at the connections where your drops hooked to your hose reels?
