Mark, Well, we live in Lake Havasu and, have lived there for coming close to 6 years. Our house was BRAND SPANKING NEW when we moved there from CA. I'd always wanted an epoxy garage floor and this was our opportunity to get one. So, I contacted a commercial company here in Havasu for an...

Hey Legacy, I most certainly appreciate your getting back to me on this. The clear coat on ours is modestly shiny. That is, it's not a high end show room floor. It's very, very nice for a regular RV and 2.5 car garage, used on a regular basis and, not only all that but, based on the way our...

Gents, It's been quite a while since I posted on here. Nice to be back. This question is for those of you that have ultra nice floors, i.e. higher end epoxy, urethane of any other NASA type floor that has an ultra sheen to it. Our floor is a Sherwin Williams Industrial Epoxy flecked floor. It's...

Hey BMack37, Yes Sir, I contacted them when I first purchased this meter and, I was skeptical about a fix being that easy for me. Normally I don't get things done that quick and that easy. It's always hard for me. That company, actually shipped out a set elastomeric components that they too...

Well Sir, I surely appreciate the link here. However, the "fix" apparently works for the 77 + 87 series but, not the 23 series. I've installed new elastomeric components and, thoroughly cleaned the contact strips on all component surfaces and, it's still completely faded. Doing all that didn't...

Wow! I knew I placed this question in the right place. I'm really thankful that there's all you folks that know what I'm speaking of. The one picture of the Fluke 23 that one of you displayed is very, very close to the 23 I just purchased. Get this. I was walking around the huge "Big 3" swap...

Gents, I've got a question about digital volt-ohm meters. This is actually quite simple but, in looking at some on Amazon, I had the same question to some of the people that have already purchased one or two that I've been looking at. The question is about the "HOLD" feature, that comes on many...

Well, That's why I went with copper. I planned it ahead but, I also knew that there may or, may not be changes in the future. If so, it's no big deal. I'd just need to unscrew some of the mounting blocks, bow it off the wall and cut away. Then install whatever the game plan called for. But, for...

Gentlemen, I for one, certainly commend all of you who've taken the time, the effort and have the tools and equipment to build all of your cabinets for your Man Caves, work areas, garages etc. I did all that, several times over the years in three different homes. I've built miles of cabinets...

Well gang, This is just like every other forum I participate in. There's lots of opinions. I won't go into all the reasons for arguments on all the kinds of pipe to use. I came close to using PVC for one two simple reasons. One, it's cheap, even the thickest stuff is cheap. It can handle the...

Hey bry@an, I answered your other question/thread but, I'll tell you here what you'd like to know. First off, I personally think Black pipe or, galvanized pipe are both SERIOUSLY UGLY! My RV garage (where the system is installed) and my two car garage are both my long time dreams. I've wanted a...

bry@an Well Sir, I don't know if this will help or not but, if you check out my most recent thread: Finally done, air system installed You'll see just what I did. I inquired about installing an air system a few months ago and, suggested the use of PVC. I suggested it because, PVC is rated for...

Hey Jim, The valves I used, for both isolating the system and, a drain, are short handled, 1/4 turn, 1/2" x1/2" pipe thread valves. I just cruised Lowes online and, I believe these are what I used: http://www.lowes.com/pd_21530-34146-M88C+1/2___?productId=3351122&pl=1&Ntt=gas+valves Scott...

] First of all, I want to thank all you for your nice comments. it's very appreciative. Jim, Below is the only picture I have of the one drain in the new system. That system, as has been stated, is over 50' long and, has a 2" drop in that 50'. At the end, where the "Flexzilla" hose reel is...

Gents, Long story short. A while ago I asked: Why can't PVC be used for air plumbing systems? Well I caught as much flack as a world war 2 bomber over Germany. So, I went with Copper. In short,: 1. 62' of 3/4" copper pipe 2. 38 solder joints, including corners, angles, adapters and unions 3...
