    What gun are you guys using to spray fluid film w/ a 360degree nozzle

    Yes. My suggested solution seems to work and was an accidental discovery. My 1st sprayer was the cheaper of the 2 that FF offered. The 2nd was with the several different nozzles on different tubes and more expensive. Both had given me troubles and I went though the heating routine and the...

    I have retired! I'd love to hear any advice or wisdom from those of you that have retired.

    If you're so inclined... piece together building a nice Wood shop. The "tool chase" and collecting can be part of the enjoyment vs just buying new. Then start making sawdust! (Man glitter)😆

    I have the branded FF deluxe sprayer from a Napa store.

    Play with the amount you screw in one of the various type hose/nozzle into the gun. Iirc I'll only give it 2-3 revolutions and sinch up the knurled lock "ring".

    LIFT DOWN! Any experts on Atlas lift cylinders?

    Wouldn't that make removing the cylinder difficult possibly having to remove it from the top? (I've serviced cylinders but never from a lift)

    LIFT DOWN! Any experts on Atlas lift cylinders?

    I think you should be able to lower it for cylinder removal. That cylinder looks serviceable from the pic. and you just need a seal kit. Good luck 👍

    Buckeye Hill Shop Build

    You might want to add an extra purlin somewhere in line with the top plate. This will normally give you at least 2 points to staple the baffles to. You might catch another one depending on your purlin layout. The Styrofoam baffles are pretty flimsy when it comes to the wind (with no insulation)...

    Skil vs Skilsaw: brand dilution?

    I differentiate the difference. Skil Worm drives (7.25, 10" Bigfoot & 14" Saquach) is all that's left of that brand to me. It's just like Dewalt used to be only serious stationary radial arm saws instead of basically Harry home owner portable tools and the same goes for B&D. Rigid was...

    new 40x60 dream shop: lift placement help

    #3 Smaller vehicles will easily make that 90* turn. My brain likes parallel or 90* to it's wall Personally I'd add some windows, the welding corner looks like a good area for several. Then I'd consider moving the stairs outside of the building footprint and include a roof to keep the weather off...

    Whole House/Attic Fan for metal barn question.

    The bubble foam is a big zero (joke, ripoff, snake oil). There's a very slight radiant plus if it's got the "foil". It's a very week link in your insulation and in an area where it counts with your sunshine. 👍 Sorry, but don't feel too bad as you're not alone with this con job. I'm no scientist...

    Hydro foam users and pex depth

    Heat seeks cold but hot air rises. That's one of the great benefits of radiant. Radiant like the sun's heat vs your ducted hot air rising to the ceiling. 👍 This is also the reason to insulate very well under the radiant tubes so that the heat is drawn or directed towards the living space...

    Had a pole barn built in 2015 ?

    That little bit that you can stick your fingers into is not important. You'd have to purposefully load the edge of the slab before you had any trouble if you even could concentrate such a load. It's been 10+ years, no big deal. Dress it back up the way it was originally and compact it as best as...

    Had a pole barn built in 2015 ?

    Are there overhangs (soffits)? Even then years of erosion from the water off of the roof that could undermine the slab by washing away the fines from the crusher run base. A picture would help with a suggestion. 👍
