    Compressor pump I.D. help?

    Got 'hold of a Curtis compressor pump, but the data plate has been removed at some time in it's life. Have went through Curtis's website, and through the books at a local compressor service company we deal with, without success. You guys seem to be the best referance library in the world, so I'm...

    Wasn't there a thread on here awhile back covering this? I seem to recall something about strobes and low frequency noise. Roger

    Sub-Panel Power Present…But It Won’t Work

    Try checking voltage level at the panel, with a load plugged into an outlet. I've seen instances where the voltage level reads fine, until a load is placed on it and the voltage drops off. This is usually an indication of a bad connection somewhere upstream. (Not that I'm suggesting you missed...

    slight OT - help with selling on ebay

    From a (exclusively) buyers viewpoint, the others are right. ACCURATE descriptions, and good pic or three will tell most of the story. I cannot agree with "The Super" concerning Paypal only as a payment method. I, (personally), have a hard rule to NOT send my credit card, or other financial...

    Building on sloped land

    This might sound outlandish, but........... Might it be possible to pour a "terraced" slab to build the garage on? (Local codes may have a big say in this.) Seems that if it's permissible, one could pour the slab in such a way that the center, or one side of the building would give quite a bit...

    so uh... sparks flew...

    ******************************************************** This bothers me a bit. Are you saying that the compressor ran fine with a 110/120V plug on the cord? The only thing you did was change the plug on the cord? If so, I suggest you check out the wiring at the motor j-box. Most motors...

    Ceiling/roof sag problem Q's

    SIGH..........I was afraid that I'd hear the above. Looks like I'm going to have to think along other lines to correct this problem. What I'd really like to do is tear down the whole thing and build a three-stall with a high center for a lift. Thanks, guys.....Roger

    Ceiling/roof sag problem Q's

    FNG with a couple Q's. Reasonable intelligent, but no materials engineer, so..... My 24'x24' garage has a roof and ceiling joist sagging problem. At the moment, I've got it supported by a 20' I-beam and jack posts, but that isn't really desirable to have a pair of jack posts in the middle of...
