You are one interesting dude, getting this worked up about pipe. Being insulting and nasty over a discussion topic --- what are you like on truly important issues? News flash: different people look at the same information and reach different conclusions. It's called 'life'. There are few...

You sure seem to have all the answers. I'll tell you something, you have opened my eyes, and I thank you for that. Next business I buy, I will spend more time analyzing the medical plan - certainly the pharmaceutical coverage. :lol:

Thank you for calmly and logically presenting your information. I repeat that I am not a PVC bigot; quite the contrary, I use galvanized in my home shop. I was simply relating experience I had. That is indeed an additional data point. If everyone can get past the emotion I submit an irony...

Very simple: your tone is argumentative and accusatory. Posting names of law firms? Really? Trying to throw some weight around? Feel free to state your opinion or relate your experiences, just as I did. But respectfully suggest you do so in a way that advances discussion and the exchange...

For all of you Internet tough guys - seems most if not all of you are noobs based on your join dates -- who think that yelling and insulting someone is the way to get your point across -- think again. Read my post. I stated that I, too had reservations about PVC as air line but that my own...

How does the town define the area of the garage? Is the 700 sq ft the area of the foundation? If it is, perhaps you can build kickouts to cantilever the workbench and storage cabinets to the outside. They would be off the ground, so presumably they would not count against the 700 sq ft.

Thank you for passing judgement on a business you know nothing about. I also have a slight muscle pain - would you be kind enough to diagnose that for me, too, seeing how prescient you are? :D

Re: what did you do in your garage today? That's really nice. I have a few of them and I just might use your idea.

I was an anti-PVC bigot myself. Then I purchased a business with a large shop that had a couple of hundred feet of PVC air lines run throughout. They worked flawlessly for years with no problems save one break where one of my workers hit a section with something heavy. The pipe was...

200 lbs rating not enough? For a compressed air system with a compressor cut-off around 125 psi, yes? Why would 200 not be enough - and if you forgot and cranked your compressor up to 300, what would happen? A pinhole leak? A small flap of copper pipe blowing open? Goodness gracious...

I would varnish it with the clear of your choice. A good,heavy coating will fill in the voids and the rich wood color really comes out - with the 'flakes' reflecting light at different angles. Try it in clear first and if you hate it you can always paint over it.

Hmmm, what about LED bulbs?

Can Rustbullet be applied over good existing paint? Not on floors; in general.

The torch in the link will work perfectly fine for 3/4" copper - even larger. No need for MAPP either. The key to sweating copper is to get the inside and outside mating surfaces freshly clean. You can get a nice wire brush that handles inside and outside for 1/2" and 3/4" any place tools are...
