Thanks everyone for chiming in , appreciate all the input , have a question about paint , want to make it look nice down there , would it be ok to paint the walls that are dry with a concrete type of paint ?

Not fixing the problem properly boils down to the fact of not having the funds or being able to finance it , as far as dealing with the water its not a lot and I mop it up , there is a drain in the basement for a shower so its easy to clean the mop and I have a high BTU forced air propane...

This thread is not about a garage or shop , looking for some input about a cinder block wall seeping water , my problem is the house I live in one of the basement walls seeps water when we have a heavy rain , digging up outside the foundation to seal the wall is not a option and if I paint...

Thanks guys , nice to have some feedback and information about real world experience , looked up C to F temps , -10 C = + 14 F and +60 C= +140 F so no worries there , if the temp drops below +15 just put the TV in the house . to cold to work out there anyway .

So I read a little bit about it on the web , apparently LCD is older tech. and LED is a LCD with LED for lighting the background , seems to be controversy about LCD being a liquid that will freeze or not , apperently it doesn't freeze , but kinda "jells " till it warms up , also read were LCD...

Been considering a smaller one from wally world at about the 100 dollar range, maybe a LED as opposed to a LCD ?

I heat my shop with a wood stove , winter temps. can easily drop down to the teens , I want to mount a TV on the wall to use as a monitor for a PC looking for suggestions of one that can survive the cold without damage the temps in the summer get over 100 (Fahrenheit ) as well

Thanks for the example , I'll remember that one .

Thanks to all , Now I'll feel much better for the first startup .

With all respect , yes , is it the way the fins are angled in relation to the direction of travel ( in this case cw ) to blow air across the crankcase and cly. fins ?

Not trying to be argumentative , how did you come to that conclusion ?

My dilemma is I don't know which way the original motor turned , when I received the compressor it was not included although the drive pulley was with it , so I found a 5 hp 220 single phase to run it

So no damage will occur if It spins in either direction ? will it oil ok ?

Would like to know which direction the flywheel should turn on a Curtis model C 80 duplex compressor , I talked to a tech at the Curtis 800 line and his best guess was ccw , he diden't have any info on file because it is so old , I asked him if it would harm the compressor if it turned either...

New guy here , I've recently moved into a "new" place in eastern Washington state , the shop that is there needs to be insulated to keep cool in the summer, we had temperatures in August of 105 plus , the shop had to be at at lest 120 inside . Also I'm told that the winter temps can drop to...
