I'm installing an attic/gable fan in the exterior wall of my garage (likely a 16" QuietCool). I would also like to install some kind of self-closing louvres on the outside to keep out bugs and critters. I'm an okay carpenter, but exterior walls seem sacred and mystical to me. From what I've...

This is all helpful. I think the play is to forget about the attic and just put a biggass vent fan with screens/louvres in the garage, and if I need to draw through the house, I can just open a window and the door that leads to the garage... I don't think there are any pipes or wires on the far...

Mm. Fire is no good.

Interesting...It sounds like code will bonk my garage-fan-to-attic plan. I could use a house fan to **** air in by opening the doorway from the garage to the house, but that would be a suboptimal solution solely to get around code, and it'd let bugs in. I could cut a hole in an external wall of...

I live in southern California and in the summer we have hot days and cool nights. I have an attached two-car garage that is open to the roof (no attic) with no insulation. I've looked into air conditioning and swamp coolers, and it seems like I'd have to insulate the garage for either of those...

Based on the replies, I can assume this setup is perfect or horrendous.

I'm lookin' to do some blastin'—mainly rusted steel parts that come off a car, but occasionally cleaning a carb or making an engine case look good. Finishes will either be Cerakote, powdercoat, rattle can, or just bare aluminum. I have a 1990s Quincy QT5 and a Skat Blast cabinet with a #4 1/4"...

Condensation drops. Basically a path for the air to cool down enough for water to drop back outta air in the form of a liquid state. Works quite well.

This is all still great info! I'm gonna dig a bit further and see what I find.

Well that *****. Guess I'll take the cage off and see if I can see/measure if it's square.

I dragged home a QT-5 with a Balder motor...I'm very much hoping I'll never have to replace it in my life...or ever move it again! It's a daunting way to make air smaller. I don't know too much about it, but I was told it ran well before it was unplugged. The wheel cage is pretty tweaked. I...

I'm getting into media blasting, and while this monster will be more than I need, everything I've read says more is better...I figured I'd buy once, cry once, and then cry every time I move for the rest of my life... Is the last number in the serial the year? That's wild.

That is encouraging! I guess I'll give it a look-see and ask some questions. Thanks!

I'm looking to buy my last compressor, and I've only ever owned a 120v "maintenance free" little Craftsman. There's a Saylor Beall 707 for sale that's over 20 years old that would do me...Biggest job it would perform would be one person media blasting and maybe some paint. What would I...

Thanks Dave! It's looking like no matter what, I'm gonna have to do some modifying, cobbling, trial and error...but that's the "fun", right?? At least I can't leave the house for a while...
