I'd like to be entered for a chance to win these. You can never have too many tools. Thanks

I have a similar set up here. 1" gas line approx. 1/4 mile from the well to the house. You'll need a "field" regulator at the well to reduce the pressure in the line. I also have a dryer before the field regulator. I have a "house" regulator at the garage to reduce it to useable pressure there...

Grainger carries an assortment and the catalog has colors in it for reference.

I use ZEP parts washer solvent in mine, from Grainger. Tractor Supply sells solvent too, but I don't remember the brand name. I have gas heat in my garage and don't worry about fires from that, but they will catch on fire if you grind or weld directly in them. Common sense is the rule.

Yes, 1 60# bag will fill it. Here's a good calculator for reference. http://www.concretenetwork.com/concrete/howmuch/calculator.htm

For the cable you're on the right track, but you can search some motorcycle parts suppliers if you need additional sizes. For the 'grommet' search eBay for "rubber hole plugs", or Google the same for more distributors.

I know people who have had wood stoves in their garages and houses since before I was born. (before someone corrects that statement, they had woodstoves before I was born, I didn't know them before I was born) I had a wood stove for years myself. Never burned my house down. It's comes down to...

Care to share, or is it a secret and you're just teasing us. Seriously though, there are cheap versions of everything, I just posted McMaster off the top of my head and for reference.

You can run a festoon cable (1/8" coated wire rope) through the coiled air hose to hold it up out of the way. Mcmaster-Carr carries complete festoon systems with trollies, they are pricey. http://www.mcmaster.com/#air-hose-festoon-systems/=kf3wmh

I have a Trane, similar setup, that has a 4x4 (approx) cover on the side wall that opens to light the pilot. Follow the small gas line off the valve, it should go inside the heater to the pilot, and it should be pointing at the thermocouple. After the pilot is lit as explained above you will...

Natural Gas...But I have a gas well on my property and get free unlimited gas.

I use Malco Turbo Shear that fits on a cordless drill. http://www.toolbarn.com/malco-tshd.html It made every cut I needed on my building metal.

Might be a little too late in the post, and most probably don't care, but here's an interesting article. http://www.wranglerforum.com/f5/eating-crow-fram-oil-filters-and-my-visit-to-frams-r-and-d-facility-in-dayton-ohio-111282.html

I might be more interested if the Fram filter would have been cut open on video, not just showing it after the fact. I totally agree with djjsr's post. I've always used Fram, I've always heard the horror stories, but I've never lost an engine from oiling problems. Just my opinion on the subject.
