That's oh so helpful.

What's the difference between 150 air and 150 liquid? Apart from air compressing down WAY more than a liquid does. The liquid likely not even measurable at 150 psi. Liquid also weighs more than air is another really obvious one but how would that effect the tank's pressure rating?

'Round my area 12-15 psi is common. 11 would work too. The only problem with 11 is what did it start out as? If it started out at 11-12 I wouldn't focus on that, accept to say that the picture looks like is somewhere between the mid point of the first tic and the second tic past 10 which would...

I cut a hole in my woodshop wall and have one blowing out. When doing something where my dust collector struggles to catch the dust, or something fumy, I turn it on. It is opposite my door and with the door cracked open it moves the air/dust in one direction - away from where the majority of...

I believe there is a special paint for airlines but it only comes in green.

That will not help for getting it through the window. You'll spend more effort with the thing getting it to grip and then stay gripped. You could probably man handle 2 or 3 sheets with less frustration than 1 sheet through the window with that. They can be very frustrating and I find most of the...

I think I get what you are asking. Are you talking about spray foam in contact with your Texwin structure as well as your 'shop' framing? If so I think your first source should be Texwin, they may have specs or warranty clauses dealing with spray foam and how it contacts or should not contact...

So how many coats do you have on it? No experience with that brand but I do have of other brands of that type of product. I would not expect a good uniform finish until coat 3, unless there was some other sealer applied first. Coat 2 may look ok but I would expect some regions to still **** up...

Fire barrier addition before pounding nails or at least while still framing generally isn't too big of a deal in the total scheme. The closeness of the buildings triggered the additional fire barrier - I'm curious would not the whole occupied space then need to be covered with something (not...

Yep. Our municipality just shrunk driveway width at the street but they didn't make the streets any wider, so now my 1 ton Chevy has no hope of a single point turn into or out of a lot of these driveways if there are cars parked around the driveway, even if they are the required distance from...

I think orientation / position of the saw in use, the blade condition, the blade pattern, type of material being cut, how straight the cut line is in relation to blade depth and kerf, and how solid the material being cut is held in place all can be huge vibration factors when it comes to recip...

He wants his family to live there, for now, while they await their investment to mature some more. Especially in a hot market or anything but an icy market, and probably just as much then as a hot market you need experienced help, unless you want to leave cash on the table and or settle with...

My understanding, going back too many years now, was that was the whole inspiration for sharkbites - too many cindered properties getting plumbing refits and torch work insurance was going through the roof.

Was it even put in a sand bed and blanket? It may have been installed with a trenchless method?

The area is small enough and in a conditioned (poorly but still conditioned) space you could easily get by with a small DHW tank to be your boiler for the one room, unlike a stand alone shop 4x or more larger. Moving heat out of a heat exchange to an air duct does not work all that well going...
