Thanks for the info! I contacted a local HVAC repair guy and he's coming out today to do the hook-up. Price? $125.00. Hope he hurries, its supposed to be 104 today! Thanks again, Scott

Howdy all~ I purchased a new LG 24,000 BTU Mini-Split air conditioner for my shop. The unit is mounted and fully wired, tubing run, etc. but I need to get it pressure tested and filled. What should it cost to check it and fill it? How long does it take? I've talked to several of the HVAC...

I use my Harbor Freight theory when ever I go see the Cummins truck sale. If it has moving parts, forget it. Scott

They work GREAT for removing rust, paint etc. from cast iron parts such as vintage tractor axle housings and engines! Scott

Adam, Could you get under it with a crowsfoot wrench on the end of an extension? I picked up a set off Ebay for $20.00, and Crapsman sells a 15/16 single for $8.00. It's one of those tools you hardly ever use, but nuthin else will work in certain situations...

Probably a dumb idea, but have you thought of a palm nailer? I figured they were pretty much useless, but a friend of mine has one he uses for tight spaces. I tried it and it worked quite well. PC, Senco etc. all make one. $60-75 for a good one, and you can get a cheepy for about $20.00. The...

Cult, You mention carriage doors. Are you going for the look of carriage style or do they have to operate (outswing) like real doors? Here is a pair of regular 9x9 doors I had installed in my carriage house/shop. Steel inside and out, R-7.2, Genie ProMax openers, etc. Installed price $2400.00...

HD sells Shop Vac Hepa filters for about $10.00. I've had one for about 2 years and I blow it out before I blast. Shop-Vac hasn't died yet! Scott

Hawkeye, NICE cabinets! I always try to build "stout x 2" but I think you've got it covered with that bench top! The pockets above and on each side of your overhead on the exterior. Are those light mounts or some type of duct vent? Scott

My basic rule for HF shopping is if it has moving parts, don't buy it. Everything else is a gimmee. Scott

FYI~ Dads Day Sales at Sears, 8pc GearWrench Stubbies (SAE and metric) normally $60.00 now $30.00. Sale ends today. gotta run~ Scott...

Qtrmeg- Can you tell us more about the panels your buddy used? I'm in the planning stages for my 28x28 ceiling and would be interested in something else other than drywall! Scott

Mornin' all! It's dumping outside so I'm getting some computer time out here in the shop. I need your opinions on metal chemical storage cabinets and drywall lifts. 1) I need to find something in a freestanding cabinet about 60" tall, 48" wide to store oil, cleaning chemicals, waxes, etc. It...

I insulated my 16 footer w/ 2-1/2" Poly-Iso foam board with foil (R-7?) and screwed sheets of tempered hardboard over the top w/ self tappers into the frame. Cutting the foam to patch didn't matter because the tempered was 1 piece over each section. Seld adhesive fridge door seal took care of...

Wel dangit! I passed the dumb$hit test! I'm going to combine a couple of your ideas and it should work out. I figger I'll borrow my neighbors laser level, measure down 1' 8" in both corners, set the laser so it lights up both corner points, and mark away! After I get my elevations, I'll screw...

Howdy all, I've got 10' sidewalls and want to put up 8' sheets of plywood, 2" off the floor and plan on drywalling the upper 2'. I need the tops of the ply to be flush, level and even so I don't have gaps when I hang the drywall. I tried to measure 8'2" off the floor, but the floor isn't...
