Higher ceiling height and a recessed lift. Maybe in my next life LOL

Funny that I would find this thread. Our techs usually use WD40, PB Blaster and Reduce 4. Buddy of mine is back from Florida and wouldn't shut up about this miracle juice he was told about and then tried himself. Stuff's called Fluid Film. Can states it's a lanolin-based non-toxic penetrant &...

Wow, that was a wild ride. Glad you finally got it all sorted out. At our shop, we had the floor epoxied and when wet, it's suicidal walking on it. When I had the same outfit epoxy my garage, I had them add non-skid (sand) but it's still way too slippery when wet. If I'm barefoot and washing...

Curious, do you intend to keep the garage doors closed? You running a/c? Those propane-powered gizmos are supposed to work very well http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/skeetervac-sv-3100c-mosquito-exterminator-0593706p.html#srp I dunno how great/safe of an idea this is if you keep the doors...

Hilarious, and ingenious LOL

I have a "backflow preventer" up here in Montreal, but only on the water line out in the garage. I was told by the plumber who did the plumbing in the house that it was code. Seems that when people were using high-pressure sprayers connected to the garage water line and the sprayer was idling...

Same here. You will, however, end up screwing it to the floor, as it tends to get slid further and further with repeated use. At least up here in Montreal, what with all the slush/snow/wetness we track in every time we come back home

I really need to stop visiting this site, I keep finding more things to be anxious about afterwards. In Florida, I had our hot water tank replaced right after we purchased our home in 2012. Had been given a set price over the phone but as is usually the case, the plumber had an extra for me...

I don't get it. I see the switch, but how is it connected? Wirelessly? I was expecting to see a control wire taped all along the hose

And here I was, thinkin' I knew it all LOL. Thx to you both!

Whazza CT metering?

I think it all depends on how many CFM you're running. My compressor is a 9-11 CFM In my case, I used half of an A/C A-coil. Installed it in front of the compressor pump. The flywheel has a built-in fan, and believe it or not, the airflow thru the 1/2 A-coil is sufficient. When sandblasting, I...

Here in Quebec, a 400A entrance allows access to the input power before the meter. I know of a few people, in mostly rural areas, who'll connect to this power source and heat a garage all winter long for free. I'm not condoning this, just mentioning it in passing...

We initially found the torque boost setting....and changed that parameter with no change. And yes, that's exactly what was happening; the drive was protecting either itself or the motor. I dunno, it just seems like the equivalent of swapping in pieces of copper tube instead of fuses. As well...

Posting on the results. First off, my replacement compressor is rated at 11 CFM @ 950 rpm. I knew that the OEM CH motor rated at 17 amps was approx. 2hp which laughably produced their rated 6hp capacity. I did not want to pull a new, higher amperage line to the garage although, to be honest...
