I'm not changing the hydrant that is there. I just want to modify it.

I want the vintage service station look for my barn/shop. It makes sense to me.

Yeah, it seemed like something that could be done to a plain hydrant to give it a cool old farm look. I need to use mine for a hose, but maybe something like this would be an option. And/or a galvanized bucket below with ESSO or Ford on it. Maybe some large black iron connectors and pipe could...

My restoration business is called: Pete's Ponies Mustang RUSToration and Performance. Rust doesn't bother me at all :)

Thanks. I searched Google, came up with a couple images, maybe wasn't searching the right words. I'll try " well pump" and see what that does, thanks. Flea markets, yes something to be on the look for now.

Now that is really cool.

Yes, I would keep my lift handle, but add some thickness to the pipe. That would work for me.

I agree that the basic overall design is old, with the lift handle and all . . but the completely smooth and sterile "smallish" pipe coming up out of the ground is my turn off. The head or valve part is fine. But the barrell idea is good as well . . . . . . hmmmm.

What do you mean by the manual pump over it?? Pic?

I really don't want to replace the one I have just put in. But rather "dress" it up somehow. Maybe some iron that I can slip onto the existing hydrant? A weld here or there and paint it . . . something .

If the pipe wasn't just a plain 3/4 pipe . . . cast iron sleeve over it maybe??. Silly me . . hydrant.com http://www.hydrants.com/products/industries/water-line/909-corn-king-yard-hydrant.html

This is what was installed.

With Simplisafe it work with cell phone technology. So no wires to cut, phone or power. The alarm is going to trigger. It calls your cell phone. That way you know immediately.

Simplisafe is very inexpensive, easy to install and will call you whenever the alarm goes off or even if the alarm is turned off system. I love it. Using a phone or computer app, you can monitor what is happening using real time, turn it off or on. Really nice technology for practically no money.

Never have smelled anything from my lift. maybe it's just my poor nose and all the paint :)

I just installed a free standing hose bib at my barn/shop,outside at the corner. Although I haven't done anything yet ( still setting up inside ) I am interested in doing/adding anything that gives that old 20s - 40s garage style. So what can I do to this free standing bib that would make it...

I am using some corrugated steel in my house I am building. There really are so many places it can be used to a unique effect. One place is my great room will have corrugated steel on the vaulted ceiling. I will use some on my kitchen island and off course in my "display" garage. I love how you...

So it was definitely worth it huh? I think I will be happy, especially running the air munchers like DAs and such. Spraying was never an issue, but using a DA or whizzer always generated some water in the lines. I'm ready to be done with that :beer:

no one has any experience with the compressed air chillers?
