    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    thanks, I dont mind spending a little more for better life expectancy, particularly in age vs light loss, with less beam angle i think i might need more fixtures than I currently used at my old shop, thought about switching to some 8 foot long for between lifts (M/C lifts)

    black and galvanized pipe for air lines - 150psi max?

    well now that I have done Black pipe install, I thought I would give a update Black pipe is a lot of work, particularly when you do 1", 3/4" is MUCH easier to work with, and by that I mean it is much easier to cut, thread, handle and tighten. that said, even at the price of copper being...

    black and galvanized pipe for air lines - 150psi max?

    your right about not needing schedule 80, I was confusing the pipe rating with fitting ratings, heck I nver knew they were different, I just assumed (shows you never assume) that the 150 meant it was only good for 150 psi, which is the pressure of the fitting not the pipe, schedule 40 steel...

    black and galvanized pipe for air lines - 150psi max?

    To be honest, I had not thought about copper pipe at all, but copper would be much easier to install, especially if one can get it in 21' lengths as well, im not sure what CNGsaves meant with " installing a black pipe steel air line system. It excellent for moisture disipating, " anyhow im...

    Anyone do an addition onto their home? Would like to know cost's.

    I assume you have checked into the rental vs income tax laws, if you make over 150k a year you can not deduct your losses from rental property, they carry the losses over for when/if you sell though. or something like that, tax laws change all the time so be sure to ask a accountant about that...

    Re: Las Vegas, 20x24, New House, New Garage! I assume you already have your cabinets ordered, but I'll say we found a local cab shop that did exactly what we needed at a better price, not sure how many places are in Vegas, my brother lives there I could ask, but you might be better asking a...

    black and galvanized pipe for air lines - 150psi max?

    ok I found a general information pdf about pipe here http://www.tmcinc.org/CATALOG%20PDFS/tmc_2009_fittings_web.pdf, but I am attaching apic of it as well - so assuming this is correct, which I am, schedule 80 will handle 200psi safely, and class 300 fittings are safe at those pressures?
