I actually already have that. The lean-to on the back is about 20x12, and then there is a 10x12 room. Of course, the roof is completely rotten and the room was built directly on the ground, no footings or anything, so the floor is pretty much completely rotten. Just another upcoming project...

The noise is great now. I can tell when it comes on, but that's it. Also the other change I made to the compressor, I pulled the oil drain out and put a long brass ****** and cap on it. Now when I need to change the oil, it hangs out far enough to catch in a funnel, instead of just bleeding...

OP, this is exactly what I did on my compressor.

I spent a lot of time on the door. I wanted a plank door to match the outhouse theme, but I didn't want to be so wide open. The door is framed on the back in 2"x4", then skinned with a piece of 1/4" plywood, then the 1"x3" boards are laid on top. I routed out the crescent from a template...

My new Shop came with a 3'x3' pad outside for a compressor with 1/2" hard lines and power already taken care of. Once I had recovered sufficiently from the move, I started on my compressor shack. It is all 2"x4" framed, with reclaimed hardiplank for the siding. The previous owners had built...

This is an easy one. Make her start asking permission for things.

Sorry late to the party, here's what I wrote anyhow: Don't just take the casters. Those old Compaq racks have a whole lower stucture that you can unbolt from the bottom of the rack. They are bulletproof. The top is 5" wide, with the outside edge at 3" and bottom edge at 1". The wheels...

Oh no. I didn't make the fence. PO made it, it was under shelter at least. Most of the leanto was built with this rough cut stuff, I'm just replacing or tearing it out as needed. The roof was done with the same stuff, rotten and broken in the middle of the outer span. Once the space is...

I was thinking craigslist too. I just wanted to try to nail down what it was before I subject myself to the unwashed masses. Thanks guys.

Hey guys, I'm doing some small scale demolition on the lean to behind my shop. It previously had some random fencing and from what I'm told provided shelter for goats. The lumber used in the fencing is rough cut 2x10. I'm wondering what kind of wood it is and if anyone on here can make any...

Did you replace the screws in the hinges? A kick to the hinge side would get it open too with stock screws.

I have that Milwaukee circular saw and to be honest, it is badass. I've been using mine for about a year now on 1/4" and 3/16" sheet and tubing. It cuts like a hot knife through butter, and leaves an edge so clean you think it came out of a mill. It may not be cost effective for 20 sheets...

I voted stainless for cleanup purposes.

x2 on workout mats. I got a bunch of yoga mats from work after they canceled the yoga program. I lined the drawers entirely because I knew I'm too much of a slob to get everything back where it goes on the first try.

I'm painting some cabinets for the garage and replacing all of the rubber body mounts on my 4x4. Almost got everything finished too! Happy 4th!
