everything is live. Thank you

@dnschmidt This spray gun set looks like a good match for my compressor. Would this not be sufficient to paint whole cars? What am I missing? https://www.eastwood.com/devilbiss-auto-paint-and-touch-up-system.html Plus the compressor is 20 years old. Were they over-selling the...

I insulated with Batt at the bottom of the trusses

Thanks for the input. More reason to do the 3/4 line. Then I wont have to re-do it if I upgrade the compressor.

OK. Im going to make my main line 3/4. Im tired of doing math!

Good ole AI. I was just trying to get in the ballpark. With my factor of 12 I was never going to be close.

Lol....Cubed. Of course. Thanks!.

lol...I guess I am way off.....Total will be 70-80 feet including the drops. I wonder where I am off. My very rough math was: 1/2 ID=.545, Area = Pi r^2: .2725 X .2725 * 3.14 = .23316 inches = 2.8 cubic inches per foot X 70 Feet = 196 Cubic inches / 144 cu inches per foot = 1.36 Cubic feet...

And then I found this: https://www.powdercoatguide.com/2016/05/plumbing-your-air-compressor.html#google_vignette Which makes me think it's right on the fence. On anthoer note, 1/2 inch pipe adds about 8 gallons of volume and if I used the 3/4 it adds about 20 gallons to the total system...

Well, since this one went through with no delay I’m wondering if my VPN was running when I started the thread yesterday, causing a red flag. Here’s hoping a moderator goes in and approves it soon :)

How long before my posts dont need approval? I posted a question yesterday at 3 somthing and it still is in pending status. Im assuming after a certain volume of posts it nolonger needs human intervention? Chris Raleigh NC

I guess I am not able to post without approval yet :). While I'm waiting for my post to go live I found this link from another thread. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-line-length-recommended-sizes-d_1537.html The graph makes me think 1/2 in pipe is fine. There will be six 90 degree...

I moved into a new house in central NC about a year ago and I am finishing the garage as a shop. The insulation is done and the drywall is wrapping up this week and am now moving on to plumbing my air compressor. At the old house I just had the air line hooked right up to the tank and I, of...

I'm looking for inspiration pictures from anyone who has pictures of a garage or shop ceiling where the roof deck is insulated and then finished (beadboard or drywall) but the engineered trusses are left exposed and painted.

My soffit vents flow 9 square inches per 8 linear feet....which I think is quite a bit more than 150:1, Right? I have 21 feet of soffit ventilation per side. 9 inches / 12 = .75 feet per 8 feet. .75 feet x (42/8)=3.93sq feet. Attic is 22x24=528 Square feet. 528/150=3.52 sq feet, which I...
