    Questions about building a house

    I'm reaching the point where I plan to move into a house within the next 2 years, but starting the research process now. The general cities/locations and budget have been established, however having some difficulty finding area specific information without committing (pre-approved mortgage...

    Fluid Film - What attachments and where to spray?

    I've decided to go the fluid film route in the ongoing battle against salty roads and rust. However, there are a million different attachments, sprayers, and locations that people cover. I'm seeing a lot of posts about the product, but not too much on what sprayer was used, what attachments...

    Dual Purpose Miter Saw / Table Saw Out Feed Table

    Anytime I need to cut something with the miter saw or table saw, it requires dragging the equipment out of the garage, dragging out the shop vac for dust collection, and running two extension cords. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's a pain in the **** when you only need to make one or two...

    Any way to determine metric or english bolt?

    I have a bolt that goes to the oil drain on a 60-gallon HF/Central Pneumatic compressor. I'm trying to find a pipe ****** for an extension, however that bolt is not listed in the compressor or pump parts list. These are the measurements using a caliper: Mystery Bolt: Diameter: 0.389" TPI...

    Oil Drain Port Size - 60-Gallon HF Central Pneumatic Air Compressor

    Does anyone know the oil drain port size on the HF Central Pneumatic 60-gallon Air Compressor (Item #93274)? I'm not seeing it in the manual. It looks like it's either an M10-1.5 or 3/8-16, but wanted to be sure of which one before ordering an adapter or cranking in something close and...

    Electrical PVC Conduit Backfill - Sand or no sand?

    Finished with running electrical out to the garage and at the backfill stage. The majority of the material removed was softer clay. I wet a bunch of the clay into a soft mixture, put it in the trench, and almost 'squished' it underneath the conduit to make sure it was supported. After...

    60 Gal HF / Central Pneumatic Compressor - Noise Level

    A couple months ago, I purchased the Central Pneumatic 29-gallon Air Compressor item #61489. Unit was fine, no leaks and reasonable sound level, but the output simply wasn't enough after getting a sandblast cabinet and a few other air hogs. For the price, the 60-gallon HF/CN unit was priced...

    How to tunnel under concrete patio?

    After advice in another thread, I started digging the trench to run lines for a detached garage subpanel. Following the garage's current underground wire from a single 15A circuit, the path goes under a 10 ft long concrete patio and comes up through metal conduit. Also, all of the "dirt"...

    Questions about underground feed to detached garage

    This is an older house and currently the garage is fed from a 15A breaker from the main breaker panel with two runs of 14 gauge wire underground. I'm looking to buy a 240v compressor, which requires a wiring upgrade. My thought is to install a 60A subpanel in the garage - 30 amp 240V breaker...
