    Storage lifts sure are nice

    Believe me, if it wasn`t for my property in canada being water access only, 3 1/2 miles worth I would`nt own one either, but it is kind of a necessity. It costs me a couple of hundred a year no matter if it is in the water or not just for it and trailer registration...haven`t even registered...

    Air Compressor Output Cooling

    I have both of my tank drains plumbed with hydraulic hose from the ball valves to a piece of 3/8 steel tubing that goes thru the wall to the outside....No mess no fuss. If done this way do be sure to attach the line to something so it can not blow back thru the wall.....One of those "don`t ask...

    Storage lifts sure are nice

    Charles What makes it even worse about those waterborn black money holes, is the boat is used 2 weeks a year and not even in this country, it`s 985 miles to my other property....it`s been in the water in this state 2 times since new (88) and the other money pit I for some reason that I haven`t...

    Storage lifts sure are nice

    I never thought I would say this as i`m not a huge fan of unanchored lifts, but after finding a used pro park around the corner, I like this :) Moving it in one piece was quite the adventure and probably could have been used as a instructional video on the finer details of "how rednecks do...

    Internet in garage?

    I have fiber optics between my shop and house, Wireless just wouldn`t cut it even with directional antennas at both ends and to tell the truth was not reliable enough to support my server which is in the shop (too noisey for the house) I was not willing to run copper between the two due to the...

    Air infiltration around outlets ?

    This kinda involves heating so i`m posting it in here. I am just about to pull my hair out trying to stop air from blowing in around my outlet boxes in my shop, To be honest I think I had a "stupid moment" when installing the insulation by worrying more about not letting the insulation touch the...

    Grounding the blast cabinet

    Exactly, The static buildup is due to the media flowing and rubbing on the inside of the plastic hose leading to the gun...Rub a a piece wool on a plastic rod you will get the same effect, electrically grounding the cabinet to the service feed will not stop it no matter how you do it. The...

    Did it cost you to hook electricity up to your garage.

    WOW I guess i should feel lucky from reading this I had very few options for getting power back to my shop due to layout of my property, Had to cross my only neighbor`s horse pasture, I really wanted it all under ground but neighbor really didn`t, He had no issue with overhead and I can...

    Video streaming from the garage

    :lol: :lol: I know..I hate those stupid things....I finally just gave up and hit `em with the shop vac when I can. The amount of caulk i`ve went thru trying to make that building as air tight as possible is bordering on scary and they still get in :wtf:. Other than just a minor nuisance the...

Seriously..the dirt cheap simple way is to get a cheapie TV card for your computer and use windows media encoder....you won`t have many "goodies" but it will let you play enough to...

    Post your lighting!!

    Nothing special, Just you basic 3 rows of 6 inefficient T12`s with 4100K bulbs, Even with the ceiling not painted (which it probably will never be) it is plenty bright Rick

    see how much of a mechanic you are

    :spit: WOW it`s funny to watch you enginnering types pick things apart (just a joke don`t take it personal) I guess my unfortunate time out in the real world and having to deal with ASE does make it easy to answer questions like that. If it matters: Rick
