No. They did it Flori-duh style and just cut the interior lines and left them hanging. The electrical is the only thing still intact. If the existing compressor is really shot I'll be buying a new unit and handler. I'm not fooling around with used for exactly the reason you mentioned. I...

I know. I was answering HVAC Phil's question about wether it it was a company or shade-tree. That's the problem. I can't get more than a years agreement so anything I invest is a calculated gamble. I'd like to fix what's there but as I said above I don't think I've found anyone that wants...

It was a very big AC company that's been around a long time. I'm very cautious down here with AC companies. I get the impression they just want to cookie cutter every job and turn a quick profit. I'm not looking to go cheap but I don't want to just throw money around. I want best bang for...

The 20' side faces north. I asked the same question about ducting but they suggested to simply mount the handler on the 50' wall on a stand and then run a plenum straight up with a duct blowing out the front and each side.

Is that 800 square feet per ton based on 8' ceilings? If so I would assume that I could just double that rough figure for 16' ceilings.

I was told today 3.5 to 4 ton by the first tech. No price yet.

Perfect timing. I have a compressor and a handler and I really wonder if they are shot or if no one wants to bother with them because the profit margin isn't there. Apparently the previous tenant decided for unknown reasons to cut the lines from the handler to the roof when they removed the...

I just found out the existing AC compressor in my warehouse is toast so I have to look at a new system. I have a 20' wide x 50' long x 16' high open rectangle. CBS construction and concrete roof, northern exposure with an insulated 12' roll up. I'm doing an open floor plan with a loft so I...

Anyone have any experience with using the Ramset on concrete block? I have a lot of conduit and junction boxes to hang and I was eyeballing the Ramset Cobra instead of using tapcons. Does it work well?

I had to do this solo and with it being mid 90's here during the day the last thing I want to use is a torch. I did buy that exact scraper but I returned it. For my floor the thin steel scraper worked better. I saw that at the HD but I was too stubborn to try it. The one they had didn't...

I learned something very important about VCT yesterday, make sure you can live with it forever because it is a major PITA to get up. I spent 10 hours scraping up 1,000 square feet. Thank God it was originally done half *** or it would easily have taken days. It is brutal, back breaking work...

Harbor Freight has them on sale for $199. I know you can stack them two high. I'm trying to decide between these and a 12" A frame ladder for my 16" ceilings. http://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-duty-scaffold-98979.html Doesn't show $199 on the site but I just got a flyer with them in it for...

Well, I finally signed the deal and got the keys. Looks like I've got a lot of work to do. My first major challenge is what to do with the existing floor. There currently is old VCT down that is coming up very easy but I have to decide what to do with the remaining residue/cement. Searched...

My Home Depot just got these in: Base cabinets String three of them together and you might have an option to the Costco bench (minus the casters) They also have a standard two door for $158.

Awesome! I was just searching for the same exact thing myself. Do they require a static IP?

I just saw this at my local Costco yesterday. I just couldn't get passed the stainless finish. It looks cool but it was LOADED with fingerprints and would be impossible to keep clean. Seems trivial but that would drive me crazy. They also had a nice workbench wall unit with integrated upper...

Thanks so much for the great suggestions and compliments! I really appreciate all the help. I'm not sure how to do multi-quotes here so please forgive me for just answering everything in one broad stroke. The image is of me standing next to a 1/2 scale piece I did. I typically work in 1/4...

I've been a long time lurker and have enjoyed seeing all of the awesome garage/shops here. All of your incredible spaces have inspired me to redo my own. I need some guidance to make the best use of a "do it all" shop. By do it all I mean that my projects entail a variety of steps. I make...

I second the polished concrete suggestion. My boss spent $$$ to get his floors epoxied and it doesn't hold up at all to weld spatter, grinding, etc. There are several spots of nice burn marks from hot steel and sparks. I was going to epoxy coat my personal garage but I'm hesitant due to this...

I bought a roll for my shop and wish I didn't. It doesn't hold up well to any heavy use and if you roll anything heavy around it slips and bunches up under the wheels. It also tends to trap a lot of dirt and debris underneath it. If you we're just going to use it casually in a normal garage...
