Alrighty then, somebody come up with some cost factors. I'm just about ready to install close to 600' of something. Right now, after learning a lot from this forum I'm thinking copper. I have no problem with the required 'sweating', in fact since it will most likely be exposed for a long time, I...

I knew that was clear as mud! :D This doesn't trap anything except in the down legs. I hope this helps...

Me too. I always put in an upside down 'U' for each drop. I'm suprised Sharpe doesn't include that. At the bottom of each drop I also put a horizontal 'T' in and get my air from the bottom of the 'T'. In other workds turn the 'T' sideways with the top of the feed soldered to the main feed...

Lets see if this works; You can put the 'automatic drain valve' right at the outlet of the compressor. DV

I have seen those light strips mentioned above, never gave them a thought for the lift! Amazing idea and no glare, but the cost to do a lift would definately fal into the pricey range! Oh-well, what isn't? DV

I wouldn't be without my set! Snap-On, but they are just about everywhere. DV

Luke, Well explained! DV...

462goat, Great start. One comment, if you haven't poured the floor yet...IN FLOOR HEAT- 4 ZONES NOT TWO! Did I mention in floor heat? It's truly amazing...no fans (read noise and moving air), nothing hanging in the air or from the trusses, no noise, no filters to change, no hot or cold spots...

Dammmit too! Yep speed, gotta have some! Great ideas around here! DV

I have four of them in my garage-electric bill jumped $150.00 a month. Something isn't right! DV

The only trick that I can tell you on the engineering side is to make sure that the front and rear attachements are parallel to each other when they are bolted to the car. If not the car will want to 'oscillate', for lack of a better description. They are or should be listed in the 'must have'...

avsfan. Wouldn't it be nice just to be able to pay the electic bill every month for that? And not think twice about it! Wish you were here, I'd have you check my 'main' on my shop. The garage is unattached, garage main is buried, runs about 20' to the house. Comes up to the disconnect on the...

I went into thermal shock when I read 'afsvan' post :) Do they make electric meters that big? :evil:

01812, Your not going to let me miss a thing! :thumbup: The boiler temperature is set at 170, just until it brings the water temperature up over the entire floor. Once the floor balances out, then I am to reset the target boiler temperature to 130! Let me take aim on the in/out temepratures...

My direct lift and the way I hung / store the "casters". 2K delivered with a few drip trays, the casters and the jacking tray. 25 years without one, now it isn't going anywhere until my probate! The Wlly's that is pitured is a completed car (in for upgrades and some modifications) with a...

01812, Damnnn your good! That is the terminology my plumber used! Backflow preventer AND a Watts 9D valve. I just took some pictures. I'll see if I can't get them to load up. One is the face of the boiler, the "3/160" indicates that (3) is in high firing mode, the 160 indicates the boiler temp...

Capo, My system was just installed and yes it needs additional water over time. Mine is hooked up to our main water supply with a one-way valve. Meaning it will not letter the floor water feed back to the main. (A really good thing when you have to use anti=freeze in the boiler. It also has a...

:willy_nil Looks re-useable to me! Simple rinse and a re-hang! DV

SD, Know it well! Columbus, Oh. I've heard it's actually turned into a 'tourist must see' spot. Nice town, but glad to be home again after 30 years! DV

Just a ' for what it's worth' tip' ... If you are going to secure a compressor it's recommended NOT to bolt it directly to the floor. The vibrations can; 1, crack your floor, or 2, crack the legs of the compressor. I really like the donut tip! Think I'll grap a bag of donuts at the Peterbuilt...
