My brother put in a toilet in his shop as he has serious gas issues and needs a place to occasionally smoke one off. Anyway, he unloaded a twenty-two pounder one day and the smell was so bad that he had to seal off the entire shop for more than week until he could get hazmat to fumigate the...

As I said in a previous post, this is not something that should be taken lightly. The proper selection of a good crapper might be the most important selection that one makes for his or her home. Several posters seem to agree although, they only provide various makes and models but no real...

This is an important decision and I am sure that there are differing opinions, that are all based on sound logic. I would suggest whatever you decide, you give strong consideration to selecting a model with suitable stirrups. My brother, who is a professional when it comes to unloaders, has...

I have them in my house and they are excellent. The difference in the temperature between outside and inside is amazing. They are priced very well and they have a great warranty. Don't see how you could go wrong.

I bought fittings that were rated above the 4000psi that my unit produces. They were available locally and they worked great. Thanks everyone for your assistance. Scot

I need to reconfigure my un-loader valve off of my Cat Pump on a Pressure-Pro 4000 psi unit so that I can use a hose reel. Can I use normal brass fittings from the Home Depot or do I need "special' HP fittings? Also, I need to use a 4" to 6" ****** and I was again wondering if I need a special...

I put a 24K unit (2 Ton) in my shop in San Diego. It is amazing. It is Gree that I bought from AC Wholesalers and had installed by my local guy. He charged me $400 for the total install and I must say, it was not hard to do. The unit is wonderful. It cools the shop right sown and it is so...

What about Shark Bite? Just curious.....

I used the Behr Ultra about three months ago for a laundry room that had new sheet rock on it. I asked at HD at least four times and they all told me that it was no problem. Call me skeptical. Anyway, after it was done, it looked terrible. I had at least three coats on it and you could...

Harbor Freights boxes work well and if you use WD-40 and let it soak in for a hour or two, the labels come right off. Here is how I use them.

I have purchased two Harbor Freight 50' hose reels for my garage. I shall use one for water and one for air. Here is my problem: Where do you mount them so that you can use them in the garage and outside of the garage? The garage is 25 feet deep so it would be best if they were about halfway...

Actually, the photos were when I first set up the shop. I did hid the wires along with the built in vacuum and air lines. Here are some additional shots.

McIntosh 2505 AMP, McIntosh MX 113 Pre-AMP / Receiver and original Bose 901 Speakers. Maybe overkill for the shop?

Does anyone have any experience with split air conditioners in a garage. I have a three car garage so I think that it would need a 2 ton unit. If you do, what kind, what size and how much amperage? Thanks, Scot

I had a leak on a brand new airplane and it drove everyone crazy. Finally, an old guy came over, after many attempts to find it, and cleaned the engine with kerosine and compressed air and then dried it out with the compressed air. He then put baby powder all over the engine and told me to go...
