Re: Drywall "Fibatape" - I'm liking it ! That's a brand name. That's fiberglass mesh drywall tape. It definitely has it's place in repairs but it's rare I use it on anything other than outside corner bead when hanging new rock. Here's a tip you can do with it. Hold the tail of the...

Yes, you nail the top run of pickets in the field and not on the edges. You're putting up 6" pickets right? If so and you only have a 3" gap or so on your bottom run of pickets the top pickets will not cup since they are supported underneath. Any spacing on the bottom course close enough to the...

Board on Board and they used the same 6" picket for the top cap and top and bottom trim. Spacing on the first run of pickets is 3". Since you have to get everything to fit within the line posts you nail your far left and far right pickets, cut a 3 " block and work toward the middle. You don't...

Interesting I'm sorting out my compressor build at 4 am too :) I'm curious as to why you decided to go with such a monster pump for the house? Hopefully it was free or dirt cheap because unless you were out after running that pump super duper slow with the 7.5hp for an ultra low noise pump...

Another cedar fan ehhh are you just that in love with the smell when it's fresh? I could stain a untreated Brazilian yellow pine picket a particular color from one of the stain manufacturers and you couldn't tell the difference from pine to cedar by looking at it. The pine is actually heavier...

Thanks for the offer but I just looked at the calculator again and I'll need to run a 4" sheave since my engines will run at 3600 rpm. I'm scouring through eBay trying to find the **** split tapered bushing with a QD sheave. Not having much luck at the moment though :( Sent from my...

We remove nailed pickets everyday doing repairs. Even if they are ring shank or twisted deck nails a cats paw will make short work of pulling the nails. Hardly worth the cost of screws to speed up the process of removing a picket by a few seconds :) I'll race you anytime! I may even beat your...

Before I asked you to double check I went out and measured mine, the last time I measured them was last year mind you. They haven't been rebuilt and I haven't got to the point of selecting a sheave size for the gas engines that will be running them. And oh good lord they measured 16". I was just...

Anytime we build a new fence and the customer wants it stained we will just order the material "pre dipped" this way all four sides are coated. We do however get customers that already have a fence in place that needs to be stained or re-stained. In that case we use our stain rigs and spray...

Are your rails/stringers pressure treated??? The reason I recommended SS ring shank nails is because the op IS using PT rails and the chemical in PT lumber will eat right through hot dipped and electro galvanized nails. Not the case with a SS RS nail. I buy the coil nail boxes for around $100...

Stainless steel screws??? Wow, you should do the math on what that would set you back. Now 6 or 8 stainless ring shank nails depending on how many rails you have yes all day long. I'd like to see you kick through that without completely destroying the picket :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A...

Our new fences never have any less than 3 rails on a 6' tall fence and 4 rails on a 8' tall fence. The 6' would get 6 brackets the 8' would get 8 brackets. Two 1/4"x1" hex head lag screws per bracket. They zip those lags in with a 1/4" cordless impact. And yes the lag screws are Electro...

I'd like to add to be sure and leave a 1/2" gap on both sides of the rails so it will have room to expand and the rail will not get a huge bow. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

It's my understanding that the 325's have 19" flywheels. I have an ROC 10 and 18 with 19" flywheels. The Quincy catalog shows a 3hp motor will spin that pump at 400 rpm so you can input that in the site I provided to get your sheave size for the motor...

I'm a fencing contractor in DFW and a few of my crews like to use the Simpson angle/corner galvanized brackets. They can be hidden in the shadow box and there's no need to have to be covered with trim since the pickets will hide them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

According to this it looks like 1/2" tubing will have no trouble flowing all the air that both pumps produce. So I'll be trying them together with a wye and running a single 1/2" line to the receiver.

I'm trying to limit the number of taps on the receiver so I'm still debating if I should mount the pilot valve unloader to the tank??? Also thinking about sweating the two compressor outlets together with a copper wye fitting. I would think 3/4" would flow beyond 40cfm but I doubt 1/2" would...

Hey Brad, thanks so much for chiming in! I had decided earlier on to run a single pilot valve unloader over to a single inlet four outlet distribution block with the pilot valves one 1/8'' FPT outlet. When the pilot valve unloads it will then send air to my throttle controls on the two GX390's...

I picked up my first Quincy 325 ROC 10 from 63' last year and tore it apart to find it in unbelievable shape aside for some light surface rust on the cylinder wall on the HP side. A very light honing should clean it right up without having to run over sized rings. I received just about all of my...
