It could be Sil-Fos but that would require an air/acetylene or hotter torch to melt. You can tell if it is Sil-Fos by trying to melt it onto a piece of copper pipe . It requires no flux to stick.

The price is reasonable but I still prefer my Milwaukee 18V li-ion. It has a 2 year or 1,000 charge free replacement warranty which can go up to 2,000 charges and 5 years pro rated. http://www.milwaukeetool.com/CMS/ServiceAlerts/09-METC-07%20V28%20Battery%20Warranty_FIN.pdf I have quite a few...

Looks like crappy tire has it. http://www.evaporust.ca

Wurth Rost Off is my favorite. Yes the spelling is correct.

What would the list price of one of those 18V batteries happen to be?

It may be an Asco http://www.ascovalve.com/Applications/Products/CondensateDrainValveAssemblies.aspx

I wouldn't even think of building a 16 by 32 if I were thinking of building a 30 by 40 especially if I could still build a 25 by 45 even if it sits further inside the property. As far as pulling into the garage with only 25' of width have you considered backing into the bays? There probably...

Ductless minisplit hands down if there are no ducts in the house but since you have forced air then a heat pump is the best option.

I have a service truck and yes I lock the doors to it but that's about it. At home there is nobody but me that goes into the garage so there is no need to lock up my tools. There are no locks on my outside garage doors just garage door openers and an alarm system.

Please elaborate on your 1/2" plastic gas line. Is it standard schedule plastic pipe or is something similar to trac pipe ps-2 which is a Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST)? When sizing gas line you must always calculate all gas sizing from service regulator to the end of the longest run...

Beautiful installation. I'm nitpicking but there should be a drip pocket on the lowest point of the line. Turn the last elbow downwards and add a ball valve then a tee with the gas line coming horizontally off of the odd leg. Add a 3" ****** and cap to the bottom and you have your drip pocket...

No but it will catch any debris or cutting oil from the threading of the pipes.

This should be your next addition. http://tools.tycoelectronics.com/cabletiegun.html 1/2" CPVC pipe is rated at 600psi at 80ºF and 240psi at 160ºF. I still prefer using copper. Nice TV by the way.

What year, trim, and trans in the car?

Now that I think about it the Hot Dawg is small enough that it probably only uses 2 threaded rods which would only require 1 piece of pipe.
