Fried everything connected to the wired network and ruined the cable. By what I understand if I would have had fiber...

    Air Compressor Choice for Small Shop

    I run a 1972 Champion that I got used and replaced the motor. If the time ever comes to replace it I will buy another Champion. As far as requirements to me you want a two stage pump and it needs to be a low rpm pump. The cheaper units speed them up to get more CFM, all that does is make them...

    Anyone retrofit a steel building with insulation?

    When I insulted my pole shed I stapled house wrap between the post from the inside then used fiberglass Batts followed by plastic for vapor barrier. I couldn't be happier with the results. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Sun distributor machine

    I have always wanted a Sun Distributor machine and found one today. It's not in perfect shape but both motors work, everything is free and I didn't pay a whole lot for it. My play is to fix it up and learn to use it. I can't find any information on this model number so I am not 100% on the...

    Garage door storm door

    Has anyone ever thought about putting a second door on there overhead door openings for the winter months. I have a 12x12 and a 10x10 facing the west and the cold wind is hard to stop even with seals on my doors. A sliding door won't work on this building so I was thinking about some hinged by...

    Air compressor remote pump

    It would be nice to mount the compressor in my mechanical room in my loft so I wouldn't have to listen to it and not have the bulky tanks in the room. My original idea was to mount the pump in the loft in the back of my shop, come out of the loft with 1" black pipe go up to the ceiling two...

    Air compressor remote pump

    Is there any advantage to mounting the pump remotely on a skid? Was wondering if remote mounting with 30ft or so of pipe would help with removing moisture from the system. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
