Thanks everyone for the feedback. It would definitely be easier to just set another tank next to the garage, my main concern is finding one as I would rather not rent.

The furnace in my house runs off a 500 gallon propane tank. I am looking into putting a furnace in the attached garage, and I figure I could either get a 120 gallon tank to set outside next to the garage or I can plumb it into the furnace's line. Is there any problem with teeing off after the...

This was all great information, thanks a bunch. A couple questions: I already have a hole in the wall that I currently have for the exhaust from my diesel heater. I would like to re-use this for the propane inlet. I have something like a 1.5" section of exhaust pipe running through the wall, so...

I'm getting ready to install a furnace in my garage. I would like to use a couple 100 lb tanks to run it, and place them outside on the other side of the exterior wall from where the furnace will be. So I will need a short run of pipe through the wall, then from the point of entry to the...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I got an angled tip on eBay, just haven't had a chance to use it yet

Thank you all for the help! I might give a scarfing tip a try, one of my concerns with a normal tip was being able to get the flame to the base of the joint without having it angled towards the bucket. Who's got a good supplier for decent tips? I'm running oxypropane

Lol big boy territory. Thanks for weighing in, I appreciate your input!

Well then maybe I'll have to go back out there with the torch

Yeah I figured closer was possible but I'm afraid of damaging the bucket. Im trying to stay away from the garage because I don't want to wake the kids up.

Thanks for the reply. I do have an extension and I'm aware of the fire risk, but I appreciate the reminder. Maybe I'll look into a bigger grinder. The grinding wheel i was using didn't have a grit number on it. What would you recommend, brand wise?

I bought a bucket that I need to modify for my loader by torching off the brackets and welding new ones on. I got as close as I felt comfortable with the torch to not damage the bucket (still learning), and am left with up to half an inch to grind off the rest of the way. I've been working at it...

Thank you all! I will be using a 14-50r outlet

I'm working on installing a 240V/50A circuit in my garage using 6-6-6 aluminum SER with ground. If I wanted to plug my camper into it (which uses 120V/30A) can I just make an adapter plug so that I only feed one hot, neutral, and ground to the camper? Will I will be getting a max of 50A?

I could use some cabinets in the garage!

Does that saw seem accurate?
