Is this worth using? It holds air and is pretty quiet. The electric motor is dated 1970. I won't be using it to spray.

This one seems much faster,it's an n, for just a few bucks more.... http://http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-AWUS036NHR-High-Gain-Wireless-N-Strongest/dp/B005ETA5K2/ref=pd_sim_e_6[/URL]

Nice build Smokey! That will be the neigborhood hangout this summer.

All these tips are great. I picked this technique up online several years ago. Instead of Tapcons, I use a 10# galv box nail, piece of bare 12 ga copper wire just a little shorter than the nail, and drill a 3/16" hole thru the 2x and into the concrete. Drop the wire in, pound in the box...

I just installed a 45K NG Mr. Heater in my 24x24x10 well insulated garage, and am very happy with it. Did it myself, and a 30 yr. exp HVAC buddy gave the install a thumbs up. The first months gas bill was about the same as last years, but this is an abnormally warm winter so far. I am really...

Great fab work Kirk!

I use mine mostly for engraving nicknames into homemade wooden bats used in our vintage baseball games.

Seen a garage this deer season in northern Michigan that was heated with an old cast woodburner, that was ducted into the shop, about a 12' run. He protected the woodburner with sheets of steel siding he had laying around. The heat was pulled from the space between the woodburner and metal...

I just got done installing a 45K Mr Heater. Ran flex and black pipe into attached 2 car garage. Had a HVAC buddy come over and take a look, and he said that I would not have gotten a better job done by anyone in the area. He said it likely would have cost me $1,500-2,000 to have it installed...

Sounds like a 75K Mr. Heater would work for you. Under $500 at Lowe's if your local store carries them. I just put in a 45K NG in my 24x24x10.5...garage and love it. It is actually quieter than I expected. Can't believe I built this place without a heated garage. My heater cost $377, and after...

Sweet bench SteveO!! Good luck on your search for uppers.

Hi-Point .45 w/Critical Defense ammo.

I've got the same configuration. I just rolled fiberglass down the bays, then in the none storage area, rolled another unfaced layer perpendicular to the first. Foamed all electrical boxes, openings, etc. Insulate the drop down door, and make sure there is a tight seal when up. Seams to do the...

Most silicones are rated for around 400*, so you should be good for B vent.
