Hey guys, I have a 40 x 100 shop house with 11' walls where 65' is my shop and the other 35' is my living quarters. The shop is separated by very well insulated sheetrocked walls and spray foam. Located in Arkansas. The building is a red iron frame and is roofed and sided with structural...

I found it, thank you so much! I would’ve never found or know about that. Gonna go through and read now and adjust a few things. Thanks again!

Ok yeah I definitely need a manual. I adjusted the cut off pressure last night. My oil pressure is definitely higher than that. I was told a good SAE 30 oil will be fine but I’ll read the manual to make sure. There is a 12 stamped on my crankshaft.

Thank you! Measured this morning, the sheave is 16. I’ll be sure to remove that screen, thanks for the tip. There are numbers stamped on the case they are 5981261. So if I were looking up parts, it would be a Quincy model 325 with a QR-25 series pump and I’m guessing 80 gal tank? Any good...

One more.

As requested, here are more pictures. There is a better one attached but I can’t get it to show without clicking it. If you need anymore I’ll be happy to take some. Thank you

Moved into my new shop house with this little jewel out back. Besides some oil residue, it seems to run fine, has 25-30 pounds of oil pressure after a few seconds of running. I just finished my black iron air lines inside the shop and would like to service the compressor. Anybody know what...

Thank you sir! Got it going today.

Good morning fellows, I got my lift stood up last night and all cables ran. Down to the wiring now. I have a black and white coming from the micro safety switch and a black white and ground coming from my 10/2 Romex. Then the lift push button switch has a black and white coming off of it. I’ve...

The roof panels are standing seam and the wall panels are more flat with very little rise to the corrugation. The structure is framed with steel beams. I thought about doing it this way but I was thinking by putting it underneath the 4' overhang you wouldn't have room to get under there to screw...

Just bought this place and it needs some dressing up. As you can see the owner never put gutters on it or never dressed up the front with trim or anything. It's not only my shop but my house is on one end. I'd like to dress it up a bit and not have it look so commercial building like. Plan is to...

Well I ended up getting the house and shop for $215,000. 3% interest for 15 years. I'm pretty excited about it. Thanks for all the tips and information. I'll be doing alot of work to it. First thing is building a 14x40 porch off one end and a lean to off the side to park vehicles under.

Yep a downdraft paint booth. I'd love to have a paintbooth. 40 x 60 or so will be perfect for me. I've got the money down, I'm finding that it might be darn near impossible to get this through a VA loan. Wanting to do VA since the rates are a tad bit lower. Gonna call the regional office...

Thanks for all your input, I'm going over tomorrow to look at it again just to make sure but I'm leaning towards going for it. Problem is the guy has a ton of stuff in the shop and he's thinking it'll take him 6 months to move out. I'll have to see what we can work out there. I'm hoping to...

Thanks for the insight, I appreciate it. It's pretty darn close to what I want. Things it doesn't have that I would like to have is: Porch on the front, I could build one pretty easily. Bathroom in the shop, possibly plumb one in. Currently they have the washer in the bathroom and the dryer...
