    Compressor Problems Need Help

    Is it possible that it has just gotten sluggish due to thickening oil in the low temperatures? Maybe a thinner oil for the time being would solve it? Seems odd that it worked fine up until the temperature change, and the pump still turns fine by hand, so the only real change is in the temps.

    Wow. Didn't realize so much time had past since I was last on here, or that so much had changed. Apparently, it has been over a year since I last checked in. Sorry to hear about Ms Shopnut, but it sounds like it was for the best. Love seeing the little touches you are working on now. The devil...

    Haven't been to this site since December. Time flies when you are having fun.....or slam busy, as it were. Either way, it sure seems like you haven't let much grass grow under your feet! Glad to see it is still coming along! Interestingly enough, I have been to Florida twice in the past couple...

    Many years ago I worked at an office down the street from Skycraft. It was where the Public Storage is now. After that I had an office/warehouse for my business around the corner on Clay. I remember the first time I walked in there, I was amazed at all the stuff they had.:eyecrazy: Used to go...

    Foxxtrot's Motley Collection of Projects

    I also did a little to make the old shed make it through the winter. The roof was leaking bad, so we put a tarp on it and shored up the roof framing because it had gotten really bad in the last few months.

    I did find some additional pictures of when we were framing that I didn't know i had. Basically just figuring out our "trusses" and getting them built. Basically, just made a template on our table and then just made all of them up.

    Can't believe that it has been 3 months since I updated this! As usual, it has been slow going, but I did get a bit more done around here. Unfortunately, as it got colder, my will to work was overwhelmed by my desire to stay warm. I did manage to get the "carport" area wrapped with fencing...
