The plastic hardline will not bend to go into the new switch's unloader (the metal fitting) so I'm going to have to take the black, plastic one with the 90 degree bend off of the old switch and put it on the new one.

Thank you for the replies. In the first picture I have of the black fitting, I can get the plastic line disconnected, I just can't get it to unscrew from the pressure switch. It seems like that little brass pin may be related, but I don't know how. It looks like it would press out, but I'm...

I had to replace the pressure switch on my McGraw compressor. I'm not sure how to disconnect the the old valve and the new one came with a different connector, so I'm unsure how I would match them back together. Below are the pictures of my current connector This is the original connector...

Snow is not a problem where I live. I have barn with the same type of doors on the property. I don't believe codes will be an issue with this particular project.

Is there a more appropriate forum, or section of this forum, that would be better suited for this question?

Thank you for the suggestions and replies. I had considered a roll up design, but I don't think that it would withstand some of the weather we get. This week we happened to have tornado like winds and flooding, so I believe the barn door style will work better

I am considering building two sliding, barn style doors that would slide behind each other, such that only one side would able to be open at a time. Has anyone seen this done with a carport?

Thank you for the responses.

I've had two metal carports for about a year. They had metal siding on 3 sides and I use them to park 4 cars. The opening is facing east and I'd like to find a way to block the sun while still having reasonable access for moving the cars in and out. Has anyone ever tried something like...

Re: Old Garage In Louisville KY Oh man, that's nuts. I went to the Street Rod Nationals last year and while my wife and I were walking around Louisville we both fell in love with this building.
