    Enlarge 5,000 gallon water tank plumbing?

    At my best friend's little ranch is this 5,000-gallon tank, it's ~12-14' tall. It is completely full of water, and its purpose is to back up the natural spring that supplies all of the water at the property. The long drought 2-4 years ago caused the spring to slow down appreciably, so the tank...

    Accurate digital air gauge/inflator that isn't $$$$$?

    I like using an inflator that has it's own air gauge vs. swapping back and forth between an air hose and a gauge. The one I have also has an air relief button for when I over-inflate something. *But*, the analog gauge that came with it is very inaccurate (displays 20psi with 0 pressure), so I...
