I'll post pictures, just promise not to laugh. The previous owner was... creative. He enjoyed building fine furniture out of pressure treated lumber and only owned one router bit. If nails would suffice, he added twice as many screws. Sometimes, a little adhesive made it even better. Like I...

My very first thought was a new drop from the pole, but I think I'm going to need another pole somewhere in my yard. I'm not totally opposed to that, but if it can be avoided, so much the better. I've got a Miller Dynasty inverter TIG, so it can use pretty much any voltage/amperage I throw at...

I recently bought a house with a 2 and a half car detached garage. I got a REALLY good deal on the place for reasons like the one I am about to describe. I'll start by saying the previous owner must have been very good friends with an electrician; there's enough wire in the garage alone to wire...

I tried hooking up a BBQ cylinder to it, but the BBQ tank's regulator shut off the flow as soon as I tried to light the furnace - excessive flow. I had the same problem when I set up my backyard aluminum casting furnace. I'll try and get some photos this weekend.

The more I think about it, the more I think I'm going to go with a Fahrenheat FUH5. This old furnace "looks" to be in good condition, but it is OLD. I just bought this house w/garage and I'm fixing both up. The house I'm living in now has the electric heat. The furnace sits up against the back...

It's as "installed" as it could ever be, I guess. I'm assuming that it came out of a trailer or something. The air intake is at the top and the hot air vents are at the bottom. It's in the center of the back wall with a small chimney going out through the same wall. It was hooked up and running...

I just bought an old house with a detached 2.5 car garage. There's decent insulation in the walls of the garage, plywood ceiling, no insulation in the overhead doors. There's an old (1978) Craftsman 75,000 BTU LP furnace in the center of the back wall, but no LP tanks. I've been trying to hunt...

Charles - what do you mean "before" :D?

Thanks! I've been doing my research and I'm pretty confident in my abilities to hook this up. Hell, I figure if I'm going to be welding I ought to be swift enough to figure this stuff out. I knew about the neutral bus NOT being bonded, but I'm still a litlle foggy on whether or not I can run...

The two road service trucks we have at work have air line connectors all over them - no housings or protection whatsoever. Any kind of housing would be more for looks than function, I would think.

Hey folks. I'd much rather post something like "Hey look at the cool welds I did," but I can't use my new welder until I get my electrical problems sorted out, so here's my predicament: I just bought a Miller Dynasty 200DX. I also bought a cheap little 120V Craftsman compressor (15 Amp, I...
