Finalizing my system with an Elctro mini boiler - EMB-S-5 I have heard mention of adding a low water cut off to electric boiler systems. Reading through the Electro industries install manual, I see no mention of using a low water cut off. Is that something that is built into modern electric...

Heated slab, Electric mini boiler, 2- 300' 1/2 pex loops. is it best to set up the mechanicals to have the pump "pull" the water out of the floor and push into the boiler? Or to "pull" out of the boiler and "push" into the floor loops? Thanks, Slack

Finally getting ready to finish my slab heat in time for winter and have a few questions. 22x32 garage, 1" blue board under 4" slab, R19 walls, R40 ceilings, premium insulated doors ( 2- 8'H x 10'W) 2 - 300' 1/2" pex loops. It will be a closed system with no connection to domestic water. EMB-S-5...

Completed my 22 X 32 shop, I like the clean bright look it has now before all my tools move in :) I was going to build open wall racks for spray paint cans, oil bottles, etc,, to keep it organized and neat. I am thinking maybe I should build the racks as cabinets that close to keep the clean...

Wrapping up my 2 year garage/shop project. I went with Legacy's "Standard Epoxy Primer/Coating" with flakes. My floor is 620 sq ft. so 5 gal worked perfect for 2 coats. topped with flakes and 1 coat of 1 coat of HD356VOC Urethane Coating/Sealer. I was down to trying to decide between legacy and...

I am looking for something like the Stanley "Small parts organizer " but I am looking for different size bins to swap out. every case will be different, but I need some with LONG bins. Anyone know of anything? Nick

Just showed up in one of the local Lowes. http://toolguyd.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/New-Kobalt-White-Tool-Storage-Combo-at-Lowes.jpg I really liked them, The 41" Bottom is 349.00, top was 249.00 I thought it was just a painted version of the existing Kobalt boxes, but it is much...

Grinding a 600 sq ft power troweled slab. using the HD diamabrush on floor machine. about 2/3 of the surface opened right up into a white porous texture, the other 1/3 remains somewhat "shiny" with just scratches. Is this typical? it does absorb water, Do the shiny areas need to be ground more...

Just completed prepping the slab with a HD diamabrush walkbehind. I blew the garage out with a leaf blower, but there is still a dusty slight coating. Does it need to be washed with water? if I do wash it, wont I be making my slab moisture laden and have issues with the epoxy adhering ?? Any...

My shop is 22' D x 32' W. 2 bays and the bench on the right 22' wall. This is strictly a shop (Auto, minor welding, fabbing), there will be zero storage in it. The compressor will be in the shed behind it, a central vac mounted in the attic. So that is 2 floor space hogs out of the shop. One...

Typ sells for 500-600, these guys are discontinuing them, sale for $351.00 Free shipping I just bought 2, They are heavier (193#) than the Husky and Lowes Kolbalt I looked at, the drawers definitely have a more solid feel than the Kobalt and husky. Also it has the locking drawer with the full...

When making ****, I am always "heating-n-beating" on the vise, the Tractor bucket, or looking for a convenient place on the truck bumper to beat and bend. I guess I should really get an Anvil,, do they make em with slots or holes to stick rod in to bend? where does one buy an Anvil? without...

Compressor is about 25 years old, 60 gal tank. Looks like the drain bolt has never been out, about 1/2 gal water and 3-5 gal of "Beige oil slime" drained out. Can a tank be checked for structural integrity ? Nick

I want everything off the floor, and have room to mount a vac between the 2 garage doors. I want a true wet/dry vac (no bag), I want it to detach and move as needed. Want a long hose with good storage. But most of all want good performance. Any suggestions? Thanks, Nick

Wrapping up building my 22' x 32' detached garage shop. My son and I will be doing some wrenching on our 2 jeeps and some odd welding fabricating jobs. I want to set it up and keep it organized from day one (yeah right) I am planning the bench and tool storage along one wall, but want to build...

In a closed loop system, electro boiler, single zone (2 - 300' loops) When filling the system, while you could force 99% of the air out, you will never get 100% of the air out. When the "air eliminator" removes the "air",, what replaces the "air" ? With that said, why don't closed loop...

I was going with a solid color, then decided to maybe do a beige epoxy and 3 light brown to mid brown flakes, so as the flakes are visible, but not THAT visible. I was going to add a anti skid to the clear coat. Now I am thinking maybe a 3 color quartz granule finish ? Has anyone done a quartz...

For a concrete slab that has been prepped (ground) and will get a high solids epoxy finish, what is the difference between a water bourne primer and a 2 part primer? Thanks, Nick

As a teenager and early 20's I built/rebuilt plenty of Muscle cars, got married and took 10 years off, got back into it for a few years in the mid/late 90's. In those years I had accumulated a mid size collection of made in USA craftsman tools. They served me well and did what I needed them to...

Any one familiar with one of these beasts? I have an opportunity to buy one for 500.00, it has the separator mounted on the back. Nick
