I recently purchased an American General which I think is the CP 2 stage unit that you listed. I like it a lot. I put a good size intake muffler on it and it helped a bunch. I did put mine in an enclosed room though.

So are you looking for a flat roof or a pitched roof? Please check out my pictures. I used a massive 55' long glue lam for one of my ridge beams and on the 3 garage side I used (2) 27' long glue lams to span the depth. That section alone is 43' wide. I wanted vaulted ceiling so your mileage...

I went with the Atlas PV-9HP from Greg smith and I am very happy with it. Took me and my father in-law about 6 hours to install. I've had it 6 months and I use it almost daily. My ONLY issue is that the car has to be positioned perfectly for the arms to reach perfectly so that is a PIA every...

I just built a garage here in So. Cal and chances are the permit process up there is similar. If you go to permit anything on that building, they will more than likely make you bring the entire building up to code for everything. And that goes all the way to interior sprinklers. Normally...

My shop is 400' away from my house so I added a sink and a toilet in my 2400 square ft shop. In hindsight I should have just roughed it in and then do the 55 gallon drum option but by doing it to code I had to add a new septic tank and (3) 60' leach lines. Ended up being very expensive but I'm...

I have my blast cabinet installed and I need to buy the media for it. I've used black oxide and glass bead in the past but I'm looking to get the right stuff for my work. I will be restoring auto parts and some rusty stuff but all metal that will need to be either re-plated or painted. What...

I went high gloss (white and grey) Love it and it cleans up perfectly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've just completed my construction of a stick built garage. Mine is 2x6 construction. That being said, I would let your engineer make that decision unless you have financial restrictions. I have vaulted ceilings with a 27' span, concrete tile roofing and live in earthquake country so there...

The moldy black things you see are spray painted numbers on each of the batts. I'm thinking they are lot codes of some sorts. In regards to can lights, I have over 30 of them up there. They are all silver which means they are OK for direct contact with insulation. Any of you out there use the...

BigDav, we are at 3100 ft elevation and we get down to freezing regularly in the winter. That thermal imager looks like a great idea. Thanks

Thanks for the info guys. Much appreciated I will probably add a 2nd layer 90 degrees out to seal it in nicely.

Hey guys. I'm having issues keeping heat in my house. I decided to go up in the attic and see the level of insulation and I'm puzzled and bummed at the same time. I've attached a few pics. First shows one of the bats lifted to show how the bats are installed. The joists are 2x4 yet the bats...

I purchased some cabinets and counter tops from a lab a few months ago. I had to store the counter tops outside and they have gone from black to a whitish grey. These are heavy suckers and are at least an inch thick. Wondering what would be the best way to get my nice black surface back. I was...

Great responses for you in this thread. I'm almost done with my garage. I went with glass block for Windows. Lots of outlets and quite a few 220 outlets. 220 outlets in the ceiling for future lifts if they come. Outside lights very important. I wish I would have run sprinkler wire through...

Thanks guys. For a 2 stage pump, will there be (2) actual cylinder towers? or can you have a 2 stage with 1 cylinder pump? sorry if my wording is goofey.
