Haha... yeah about the most ferocious thing that we have to worry about in our area are raccoons... Sent from my iPad using The Garage Journal mobile app

My HOA requires cans inside the garage except on pick up day... to my dismay, and they need to be cleaned/rinsed to prevent them from stinking. The blue one is the recycle bin, fairly manageable, but the actual garbage can is about twice that size. If I’m not home to collect the cans, they...

Had a few minutes to add a convenience to my garbage cans... found these on Amazon: Drain Valve Plug Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074S8TSSG/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It took a 1.5 hole saw and 10 seconds at the bottom corner of my county provided receptacles. Great quality accessory, easy to...

Added casters to my work bench today, mapped out where to bolt my new bench grinder at on the table top Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I have one hung in the center of the garage, and I also just have a loose hose to hook up when needed. I use a 2x6 to run between ceiling trusses to support the weight. Works great.

What I was referring to was... "The Plastic Pipe and Fittings Association notes in their PPFA Bulletin #4-80 (10/79) "Compressed air or inert gases should never be used for pressure testing plastic piping systems."

Yeah love the design... nice work!

I look at it like this... can you put compressed air in a PVC pipe. Yep, and to the post above you'll find that manufacturers will say "Yep, it'll work". It doesn't mean that it's safe if there is damage to the pipe... Rapid air kit's aren't terrible in cost compared to copper... heck even...

I have a IR Garagemate... it's on the higher end, but it can keep up with most all home and automotive work I do. Also, I keep mine in a garage and it is fairly quiet with the factory filters.

Yeah unless you can get a 3/4 maxline fitting in there to make the turn, I wouldn’t suggest bending it. It gives, but not that much.

I have a new garagemate and I am looking at the drain **** in the bottom of it. It looks a bit cheap and am thinking about replacing it with a better version. Anybody done so? Also, is there an internal tube that hangs in the bottom to drain all the water out? Or is there always going to be...

Sounds like it’s a volume issue... I have a garagmate that I’m plumbing it with 3/4 maxline kit to add some capacity to the system. Also, it’ll scale if i go to a bigger unit in the future.

I have had a GUV from Hoover and it’s a great unit, lots of power. No wet option, but it’s kind of a b*tch to get the bottom collector reattached after emptying. I like the bissell wet/dry option and the clear collector is great, my current shop vac is wet and dry, but no indicator that it’s...
