My Dad is pulling a trailer moving my brother's stuff home to Illinois and a bolt broke on the reese hitch mount on his truck. So he needs to drill a new hole, and put some new bolts in. All of the repair shops are closed, and the few that are open don't have a right-angle drill (which he is...

Should I get a couple cats to live in my shop? Background: - I have a 4yr old girl who BEGS to get a pet cat. - 32x48 shop in my back yard, insulated, heated, cooled. - My wife is allergic to cats, no cats in house. - We live in town, cats can't roam freely outside really. - I found a mouse in...

It's a 1995, 7.5 HP two-stage 80-gallon Air America/DevilBiss for $600, with water separator or something. It was used in a small contractor/woodworking shop, so I don't think it was used too much. I was thinking of buying a new 1-stage 5hp for $700+, so I thought this sounded like the better...

I have a Quietside DP boiler that I will be using for my in-floor heat. The install instructions said to mount on a non-combustable wall. My wall is OSB. Should I replace that piece with something else, or stick a sheet of metal between it and the OSB (if that would help), or do nothing? Is...

I have a freshly built 33x48 pole barn with 12'9" ceilings. On one end, I want to make a loft from the 2x4 framed office over 11' to the wall of the building, which has 2 posts 8' apart where I want to hang a ledger/girder across them and then run 11' 2x8 joists from the office to the ledger...

Here are some pictures of the radiant heating system in my old 30x40 shop that I built (and had to sell & move). http://picasaweb.google.com/john.slagel/Old30x40ShopRadiantSystem# It was a 85,000 btu boiler with a primary/secondary loop with a variable speed injection pump doing the mixing...
