Loved you garage build pics! My "mend" may not have go me back to 100%, but I'm extremely happy for what I've got! Doug

Well Citation, I've been looking for parts for some time now. My old (I'm guessing about 30 years old) girl is still running even after all these years! The plan is to u-bolt her from the floor and and give her a good look over. With her sitting in a corner, it's hard to to see all sides! I...

I'm so very happy to have all of the replies to my post!!! My original post took my about 1 hour to write. I've been afraid to post on any of my forums but decided maybe the more I write/talk the easier it will get?! ...The information I posted about my old compressor in my original all came off...

I haven't looked at any yet, but I will be soon!

LLWillysfan,,, I've been reading you post "The Concrete Underground" (many times!)! It's a good read! Thankyou!

I built my pole building in 2005 and had it closed in by april of 2006. The top soil had aready been removed and a layer of clean sand (8"0) was compacted in its place. A cement contractor leveled the sand and readied it for 4 full inches of cement. The cement I bought was 4000PSI NA C338 S1...

Thanks to all for your replies! I'm in the process of installing a 4" PVC sump pump drain, from my basement to the new storm sewer that was installed this past summer (113 feet of my PVC!). The County was nice enough to install a pipe from county right-of-way to just inside of my lot line (it...

I think I saw a post (here on GJ, IIRC) that said a 1 1/2" flex sump hose should be run 5 to 10 feet into the 4" stubbed "up" discharge entry of the PVC line. One, what was the reasoning for this,,, and two, how is the flex hose replaced if need be? Doug
