Well, my Mr Cool is giving a bit of issues. It didnt really want to turn back on this summer (it comes on and off at time) but I found that the larger line on the condenser seems to be freezing up. Couple people told me its probably a little low on coolant. While I was out there the loop of...

My shop has 2 sections to it...the work space, and the place where I park my truck and has a storage lift. There is a 10x10 or so space between the two sections I want to put a divider in so I can keep the work space well air conditioned. Opening the big door to get the truck in and out is...

I had searched around and went round and round trying to find the lift to buy. Read a couple of opinions on spending more since it is a once in a lifetime purchase vs keeping costs down. I ended up with the Triumph NSS-8XLT (extra long and tall). It came from National Auto Tools which is local...

Been wanting to build a welding table forever and finally going to do it. The plan has always been 4x8 1/2" hot rolled plate (pickled and oiled really) but saw some videos and a link here about the tables that are built using 6" flat bar. I dont do a ton of fab work but wanted somewhere to break...

Just wondering if anyone has input about leaving an air compressor outside with just a roof. I have seen a couple automotive shops that have compressors outside with just a roof and not a fully enclosed shed. Anyone else do this with their home compressor? I have a pad ready to go, just...

Just looking for insight. I have had my MrCool for about 3 months and its been running a lot in this 100*F+ temps of Texas. Fan motor stopped running. I figured Id just open it up and check the capacitor.... I cant find it. I figured it would be like a traditional A/C and have a capacitor. Its...

Im finally looking to buy a lift and Im stuck on what to buy. Im looking for a lift that is STORAGE only lift. Lots of guys like Advantage/BendPak/Wildfire...but they are 50-60% more than a Triumph 4 post lift. Anyone have any advice? Is it worth it to spend more for just storage? I dont plan...

Well... Im finally putting up some pictures of my build. This has been about 5 years of dreaming and saving. Finally got done. We had to work in an existing footprint essentially because we were grandfathered in. The goal was to take down the carport, build half the building so I had somewhere...

Just wondering what you guys are getting out of your floor life. Im debating epoxy vs just sealer and I was just reading on Allgaragefloors seeing that epoxy seems to have 2-5 year life where the newer polyurea floors may last 10. Not very convincing for how much money is invested. Taking out a...

Nevermind... I found my answer

So Im working on a new build and have done a lot of research into building science for houses while I did a full gut remodel on my house. Air sealing and a continuous insulation layer are vital to get an efficient building. Im going to stick build my building and was planning on zip sheating...

Looking for some advice. I have a 32x28 and an RV carport 16x43 right next to it. The city doesn't seem to want to let me build a new building due to zoning changes. Even if I rezone, I'm maxed out at 1200sqft. My existing building was poured at 2 different times. The back 8x32 has a 2" higher...

Hopefully you guys can help me out with some advice. I just laid down some Rustoleum Rock Solid Metallic yesterday. Im not thrilled with the outcome for a couple reasons: bubbles and coverage. The coverage is partially my fault as Rustoleum does not want you to grind/etch the concrete but use...

Im converting my carport to a garage (previous garage converted to living space). Its a trowled finish just not very smooth. Its only a 2 car garage (400ish sqft). Im trying to figure what grinder to use to smooth it out. Diamabrush on a floor buffer, diamabrush on a grinder, or get the Home...
