Hey all, Its been a while since I been here but I know someone here will be able to answer this. My coworker has a situation. Outdoor wood boiler coming into his home into his utility room (1inch pex open loop). From the utility room to the garage he has a 60 foot loop of 1/2inch pex. He...

Alright I have searched and read and read and read Im still havent found the exact answer. My floors (garage and shop) were sealed with a clear water proofing sealer. I've got a couple small spots that it appears to have worn through. The spots will absorb water all though there not much more...

Hey guys, I ran into a "snag", Im guessing this is just simply a programming error or maybe I need a different stat? The configuration shouldnt matter in this case but I'll run through it to save the questions. In my shop I have 2 zones. A radiant floor and a 100K hanging water-to-air modine...

Hey all, Has anyone repainted any LP tanks. I have a 100lb and a couple of 30s propane tanks I'd really like to redo. I wanna do a decent job on them so Im thinking a light sanding, primer, paint. I didnt think about any kind of safety concern until a coworker made a joke and said dont sand...

Hey all, I did a search and didnt come up with much about this. So if this has been beat to death already I apologize. Anyone one have any input on a Nut/Bolt/Washer Kit like I've linked to? Seems like Im always running to the local hardware store (4miles away) for just a few nuts and bolts...

Hey all, I came here hoping for some advice to see what route I should pursue for heating my detached 40x40x10 detached shop. Outdoor woodboiler is going to be my source of heat and I currently have floor loops of pex for heating the floor that I want to hook up to a pressurized closed system...

Hey folks, Ive currently got a sheet rock walls/ceiling (unfinished) attached garage. 1 floor drain and hot/cold garden hose facet in the garage. I sweep the garage approximately once every 10-14 days and wash the floor 4 to 6 times a year. We only really park our vehicles in the garage or...

Alright all, Im in the market for some decent quality plastic storage cabinets to store/organize some of my outdoor hunting gear. I stopped at my local menards and found Suncast Storage Cabinets. They seem pretty heavy duty and seem like something I can use. They arent real cheap by any...

I purchased a new 60gallon C-Aire this past weekend and I got it temporarily hooked up until I decided its final place and get everything plumbed. After the compressor completes its cycle it lets out some air? A friend has a 80gallon big red and his does the same thing so I called him and he...

Well, Since my first garage setup I've been using a 15gal upright craftsman oil-less, paid more than I should have for a used one but it's gotten me by for 5years or so. The mechanical use I used it for was light at best. But its been getting weaker and weaker every season. Fast...

Hey all, Im in the process of getting a materials list together for finishing my shop. I plan on doing vertical steel liner panel inside my shop and was wondering what size board i need for purlins. My shop is stick built 2x6 16oc. Thanks.

Well the more I think about it the more I start to question it.... I would like to try to insulate my shop this fall and Ive ran into a snag. I did scissor trusses for the first 6 trusses to accomadate a full height door in the center. No big deal there. Then I did bonus room trusses for...

Hey All, I lurked around GJ forums for a short while but I had questions when I started and after reading a few threads I had even more ideas and questions. After a few weeks of posting I decided I'd like to share my build. Location: North Central Minnesota Oct '06: My wife and I purchased a...

Anyone got one or more of these? or something similar? Just wondering the pros and cons of something like this? Cost is a bit prohibitive but I was thinking if a guy could get a decent deal on that bins and track system or shelf system you could build the cabinet to fit? I really like...

So I've had this "idea" in my head for a couple years. I have always liked the old gas pumps with a lighted globe on the top. I've seen a few in people places all restored and they're real neat but they are always a decoration. Does anyone have one in operation? (give you fair warning I...

Has anyone used this stuff? I have yet to see the stuff in person. Someone on here mentioned it a week ago and thats the first I have heard of the stuff. I was gonna do steel liner panel but this appears to be worth looking into. Wondering about install practices for it. I see it advertised...

Hey guys, Wondering who has a parts washer in their shop? I was given NIB a small bench top parts washer and a couple gallons of the fluid? It would be nice to have in operation when I get my shop finished but it I dont want to dedicate any bench space or floor space for something I would...

Hey all, I've been lurking for a couple months on and off. Dreaming/planning/prepping for finishing my shop this is my first post. I've got a 40x40x10 shop that Im planning on finishing the inside of with with steel liner panels. The last place I lived had some vertical steel on the inside...
