Gents, looking over the air compressor I felt that it was about time to do a little cleaning on it and give it a good once over. Drained all of the air out at the top and then opened the drain **** on the bottom and found a lot more moisture than I was comfortable with. Some looked rust...

Gents, I am looking for some feedback in regards to an upcoming project. I would like to add French doors in place of the current 9' roll up that I have on one side of my garage. It would serve as a separate shop versus a garage/shop. Anywho, I am trying to find a specific example of a French...
