Wow! You did a great job!

So what are you guys doing for an air compressor drain? I have an 80 gal Dewalt air compressor and I have been opening the bottom drain into a hose and running it out of the garage, but that is a pain. I want to run a permanent drain through an exterior wall outside. Just looking for ideas.

I guess much like the “who makes the best engine oil“ conversation, we each have our favorites when it comes to battery operated tools. I was a Dewalt loyalist for a long time but it seemed like I had to charge the batteries much too often. So I switched to Milwaukee and have never regretted it...

What is a “rinseless” wash?

I also did the Rapid Air Maxline when I built my shop last year. I initially pressurized the system and let it sit over night with no leakage. I then had spray foam insulation and drywall added. Now I have a leak somewhere inside the walls. My 80 tank empties overnight, I am guessing the...

I really like the new site. You did a great job with it!

I use the Abode system on my garage and it has all the functionality you are seeking. Very easy install and you have the option of monitoring or not. Either way, you get an instant email if there is an alarm activation.

I have the lift master and when the door closes, a “dead bolt” locks in the track. So far, no issues with it. Plus it has WiFi capabilities if your garage has a WiFi signal.

I bought an LG stainless 20 cubic foot stainless steel frig/top freezer from Home Depot for $599 a few months ago. It works great and looks good in my new garage

Rapid Air Maxline, no complaints.

It looks great. Good luck with the build.
