Hi I am building out my dream shop, it's a Carolina Carport type building (Alan's Factory Outlet, but Carolina Carports really builds them). My question is how have others mounted ceiling lights to the square tube ceiling beams, especially if I want to mount the lights in between the 4' OC...

OK, so a 36K in Orlando should be OK then for a 24x50x9.....

I am looking at a 36000 BTU (3 Ton) unit for my 24x50x10, but I am in Central FL...I will have 2" on the wall and 3" on the roof of closed cell foam...

Hi, I am building a metal building on my property in Central Florida (Carolina Carports through Alan's) and looking for some ideas. Here are the Specs: Concrete slab / stem wall foundation (the rear is about 24" lower than the front corner) 24' x 45' building with 10' walls and a 3/12 pitch...

Thanks, yes, that looks like exactly what I need!

Thanks.....you scared me a minute, but I can find no set distance requirements in the Orange County Code....

Hi, so building a 24x50 metal building (garage) in Central Florida. The building will fit, but will be about 3' in front of my well and pressure tank, seen behind the building location(planning on building a "lean to" to protect it from the Sun after the garage is built). The yard slopes about...

Thanks all, I will contact the PoCo, but thinking now 100A will probably be fine for what I will be running

My longest vehicle is a 1972 Dodge Challenger, which is 16' (110" wheelbase) and the Bend Pak lift I am looking at is 16 1/2' long including the ramps, so should have plenty of room I think :)

Thanks all, the current meter is where the red dot is on the original post, I did just use an online load calculator and for what I am planning it calculated a 70 Amp load (240V air compressor, garage door opener, 4 "small appliance circuits", a 240V 18000 BTU mini split, and the heating...

They in general as what do electrical contractors usually do? It is a 200A panel in the main house, as it is a 5 year old house in FL and everything in the house is Electric

Hello, I am planning my garage/shop build, I am in Central Florida, it is 24' x 48' x 12, walls (15' overall height). It will be a 150 MPH rated steel building that I will have close cell spray foam insulated and will wall it off to two, 24' square rooms. The rear room will have a mini split...

It's a belt drive, model LU. Yes, they are tapered, but the new rings are huge, and very difficult try and wrangle the cylinders and poke the rings in...one broke trying to install yesterday which led me to try and remove the rods and do it like a "normal" reciprocating engine, only to find you...

Anyone here ever rebuild an Emglo compressor pump? Looks like the only way to replace the rings is to do it with the connecting rods already attached to the crank and then try to slide the cylinder assembly over the two pistons (it is a 4 cylinder pump)!?? There is no bottom to the pump case...

It's an Emglo LU pump, which means it has unloaders built into the head of all 4 cylinders, and the differential pressure switch has an unloader as well. My Emglo is the 17gal and also does not have a check valve at the tank.
