    Auto Lift: Keeping Crud Off The Slab

    I have been using cardboard, worked great so far. I have all the extra pieces folded and leaned against the wall, then held in place with a couple drywall screws. When they get too dirty, I move them to the burn pile and put a new layer down.

    5 Starr Builders , TX. Anybody use??

    Give Rob-Bilt a call, you will not be sorry. I called every company I could find for 4 months. Rob-Bilt had the best price but more importantly the best quality of construction in my opinion.

    Water Softener - 32,000 or 48,000 grain

    We will have to agree to disagree. lets use your example. A 32K softener ran to full capacity or a 48K ran to 32K capacity. Either will use the same amount of salt for a regin. Again, resin is not magic. it is simple ion exchange. There is no benefit to running a larger unit at reduced...

    Water Softener - 32,000 or 48,000 grain

    That is incorrect. Resin is not magic. Its simple ion exchange. The higher capacity unit will have more resin than the smaller unit which will result in longer time between regins due to increased resin capacity. During a regin, the larger amount of resin will require more salt and make up...

    Water Softener - 32,000 or 48,000 grain

    What is the difference of the two? What accounts for the higher exchange capacity? Is it a different type of resin or is it just more of the same type of resin? If its just more resin, you will use more salt and more water each cycle to regenerate.

    Gas leaf blower to clean out garage?

    I am also wondering where this "dust cloud" everyone is talking about is coming from. If its dirty enough to create a big dust cloud, it should be swept first. I get very little dust cloud when I use the blower on mine but im not using it for big piles of dirt either.

    Gas leaf blower to clean out garage?

    For the pole barn, dewalt blower every time. Just for dust and dead bugs and such. Anything big gets swept and picked up with the dust pan first. Other than dead of winter, if im in the shop, both end roll up doors are open. Always a nice breeze. Unfortunately, that also means lots of...

    Another WiFi in the barn thread

    That's more what I am thinking. First off, its just me here so there will never be multiple users. Second, this isn't for work or streaming hd video. I like to have it just for google and websites like you mentioned to look up a part or diagram while working rather than going back in the...

    Another WiFi in the barn thread

    Thanks for all the help so far. I will be looking in to this set up. Im sure I will have many more questions. There are zero obstructions. its a straight open shot from the window where the current router is directly over to the barn. Nothing in between but grass.

    Another WiFi in the barn thread

    I will start by stating I have tried to read the many other threads regarding this topic. However, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to this topic and I just end up getting more confused. Here is what I have to work with. I know for sure that hardwiring is out of the question. I am not...

    versatube frame only systems

    I do not. Building was pretty much built before I joined. I did take quite a few pictures. Didn't really make sense to do one after it was built. I could I suppose. Can pictures be posted here with out a hosting site?
