Ingersoll Rand ThermoSorb Desiccant Air Dryer! Model TZM032. Looks to be about 4 years old and in good shape. Got it off a construction project where the existing compressor system was being replaced and they didn't want any of the old parts. I first mentioned it in this thread, but wasn't...

I most likely have the option of procuring a ThermoZorb Modular (TZM) Heatless Regenerative Dryer and four filters for a nominal cost ($0). I have looked the model numbers up, but there is very little info that I have found that fully explain how this unit operators and how I could potentially...

So I replaced the roof on my house and garage about 5 years back. There is a carport connected to the house that the roof does not slope much at all as it comes off the adjacent roof. Tar paper went down before the shingles and all exposed roof nails were sealed. Now, after a good rain, I am...

Strangely, there was a garage sale a couple houses down from mine this past weekend. It was the home of a wood worker that I knew just from living in a small town, but unfortunately he past away last month. :( Regardless, they were off loading the shop items and were in a mind to get rid of...

I installed a utility sink in my shop about 8 months back. Used a standard cheap faucet from the box store, has the pull out nozzle as well. It is plumbed from the backside of a hose bib that is on the outside of my garage wall. PVC, standard connections, etc., line runs exposed in garage...

I am using a spare 20 gallon tank tied onto my new 60 gallon compressor to help with capacity and reduce heat. Issue is that the two inlets on the spare compressor appear to be 1/4" and 3/8" which seems to be way too small. My lines are 1/2" for the most part, new compressor outlet is 1/2" as...

Getting ready to wire up my new compressor and want to be sure I am good to go. My electrical service: fuse panel; double pull 30 amp breaker at 240v. Three prong outlet is 250v 30 amp. Compressor motor is phase 1, v 208-230, a 21-19, hz 60, etc. Am I good to go or...?

Need to decide between two compressors: Puma http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/tls/2870825508.html US General http://www.harborfreight.com/5-hp-60-gallon-165-psi-two-stage-air-compressor-93274.html Both same size, similar ratings, etc. One is two stage, one is not. To be used for sand...

Quick question. I am picking up a 60 gallon two stage compressor, 15.5 cfm at 90 psi. I don't have any water collection system in place or line manifold to cool the air, but I know that I need it. I have a 21 gallon compressor tank with a bad motor. If I remove the motor on the 21 gallon...

I have been planning on upgrading my current 21 gallon, 5 cfm/90 psi compressor to a 2 stage 60 gallon, 15.5 cfm/90 psi compressor in order to accomodate my new sand blaster, air tools (grinder, sander, etc.) and future painting activities. Have not yet picked up the new compressor, hoping for...

Got a problem. I have my 21 gallon compressor in a little storage box outside my shop. It is plumbed is via an air hose to a filter/collector. From there, it goes to a reel for the shop and also splits to black pipe piped to the garage for the reel there. I just set up my barrel blaster...

Doing some electrical cleanup in the attic and saw a mound in some of the insulation. This was what was inside the mound, :yikes: a bunch of cacoons or egg sacks. Nothing around the area (wood, drywall) seemed to be damaged and I couldn't find any other signs. There were no large bug carcasses...

So, this hose bib had the hose left attached over the winter and it split within the exterior wall space. Fortunately, it only leaks when the hose bib is turned on. I removed the outer wall and found this (see pictures). What are my options for fixing this? I cannot easily access the...

Found this at a local estate sale for $10 and couldn't pass it up. I actually have never heard of Blue Point, but as it states made in USA, had to have it. Looks to be is good shape, any input on this thing? Blue Point = Snap On!

I have a house furnace (converted to propane) for my heat in the garage and shop. The return is located in the garage, which doesn't get much, if any, dusty work done in it and it is completely finished. The shop, which is separate, has a supply as well, but no return. I do wood working in...

So, I finally finished the inside of my garage that I built two years ago. Work got in the way for a year and a half and I need to save additional funds, but I think I am 95% complete. My garage is only 21'x21', but I am fortunate that an existing structure on the property, which is now...

So I am building my own cabinets for my garage. I have the boxes built and am finished up the door frames. I am planning on leaving them bare wood, just applying a few coats of clear to them. I was planning on using pegboard as the infill for the doors and painting either red or hammered gray...

So, been away from our house for over a year. Just came back and noticed some holes/washouts over the general area of the tank right next to the garage/shop. Been in the house for about 4 years, haven't had to mess with the septic tank so far. It seems to be working just fine inside and there is...

I am preparing to building some wooden cabinets, pine or other finished wood, but would like to possibly trim the doors or frames out in Diamond Plate. But I am not sure how it will look and have not been able to find any pictures that would show this look. Does anyone have pictures or can...

So, I am just finishing up the drywall in my garage and need to add an attic ladder for access. Ceilings are 10'. I am very short on money, so I check out Craigslist. Jackpot, 9'-6" (ceiling height) attic ladder for less than $70. New, not used, etc. So, here is my big mistake. As I work...
