The guy I talked to was very clear that if the T29 pump on mine was good "Dont touch it the T29 was one of the good one's". Given the vintage your unit looks to be it seems the same would apply. My compressor comes up to around 155 and kicked off, then back on at around 135. Ran it up to...

I picked this up a couple weeks ago for $300. It's all wired up now and seems to run very nicely for a 30 year old compressor. It has a build day of 8/7/87. Only problem with mine is it uses a T29 pump which is no longer made and parts are scarce if not non existent. According to the specs I...

My lights are wireless but not the control pads on my 3 8500's installed last fall. Honestly I think the lights are kinda useless. They seem to come on when they please.

PM me if your interested and I can share with you who I used to build mine. I'm just north of you on the Bridgton/Waterford line. Eric

Can anyone identify what model BelAire compressor this is? The motor plate indicates 5hp single phase but seller hasn't sent me the model number yet. It appears to be a two stage with a 60gal tank or so but I can't seem to find anything online that looks close. Any thoughts? Were they decent...

Not a tank top. It looks just like the current 50k Big Maxx unit which I assume replaced the 45k unit. I'm pretty sure with well insulated 2x6 construction it should do fine.

Pretty much what I thought was case. As much as I like overkill I do realize that sometimes it not the best solution. On another note I happened to be walking around our weld shop at work and found a 45k Mr Heater new in a box that we bought in 2012 but never installed. I had forgotten all...

I am looking at a Modine 200k BTU 80% (LP) hanging heater for my 32x40x13 garage. The space currently is not insulated at all but will be by next winter. My end goal is to keep the space heated to 50 degrees or so all winter and ramp up from there when I want to work in the garage. I know...

Just a quick update. Unfortunately time, $$ and life in general have slowed my progress. I only managed to get half of the building strapped and the front of the building sided. Hoping to rig up some temporary heat so I can stain enough boards to finish the front and get at least past the man...

I have a stick framed with a conventional foundation but my center door is 12' high. I have around 13'6" above my finish floor to the bottom of the truss.

The lights I referenced are a frosted tube and can be flush mounted but they are plug in style and linkable up to four. If you have to have hard wired these would not technically be the light you're looking for. Assuming these are truly 30 watts, at 120v all 24 lights are only drawing 6amps.

I am 2/3rds of the way complete in installing 24 of these lights in my 32x40x13 and so far could not be happier. I started off with just 6 to see how they worked and quickly decided on a layout for 24 total...

I just bought and installed three Liftmaster 8500's in my garage. The openers were about $269 a piece delivered from http://weshipgaragedoorparts.com. Pretty simple install too. Looks like liftmaster does make some kind of kit like you're talking about for the Wayne Dalton Torquemaster shaft...

We have pretty much decided on the Rustic as well. While I think the Redwood toned stain would look pretty good, I'm not sure I'd want my house and shed stained with it too.

That's the rustic. I am actually leaning in that direction as well. Shingles are Green asphalt.
