Thanks dcg. I may be over thinking this. I believe the owners of the larger building only heated and cooled the building on weekends and holidays. I could not find any mold or moisture problems. Will have to check out your dehumidify setting.

Considering purchasing a garage for use as a woodshop, metal shop, car storage, gym, and office. Location Southwest Tennessee. Looking at two very different buildings both have heat and a/c. Building 1 approx 2000sf concrete block some insulation. Building 2 approx 4000 sf steel building looks...

I had installed a Mitsubishi mini split in a 1000 sf commercial building that I own in early 1997. Zero problems with this unit. Very expensive, but not having to run duct work was a big selling point. It doesn't get used much in northern Michigan. The tenant of the last three years has been...

I recently replaced the floor joists on my 8 X 12 storage building. The building was supported at the four corners by concrete blocks. The blocks were continually sinking and required re-leveling just about every year. I replaced the blocks with two 6x6-12 feet long. The soil under the building...

I was enjoying this thread when I came upon this post. I have a similar saw to the one pictured which I purchased approximately 30 years ago. I have the old guard still on the saw and have always thought that it was useless as a protective device. I just ordered the upgrade for my saw. Thanks...

I am frustrated with my cordless drills. I have three of them, a Dewalt, a Makita, and a Black and Decker.Whenever I need one, the battery is dead or functions only for a couple of minutes.New batteries are terribly expensive. I have several corded drills, but only two work with one working...

Thanks for the explanation. The ball seat didnt look bad. The balls used in the release valve and pump cylinder are the same. I know there wasnt a spring to help the ball reseat. I thought that perhaps I lost a smaller ball. I will try putting it back together and use less oil. Thanks for the...

Thanks for the very well written process to repair these jacks. It encouraged me to attempt for a second time repair to my long frame jack which I originally attempted to fix several years ago and failed. The jack had been used very little and became unusable because it would not raise a load...

Owned a building for about two years with 3 commercial and 3 residential tenants. Commercials were great. Same commercial tenants for the two years. Always paid rent on time with no problems. Even with personally checking prospective tenants, residentials were a nightmare. Problem with...
