    Running Some Power

    Is it a long cable pull? I would recommend doing them separately, it won't be THAT much more and then everything is protected properly. In fact nema 50 fixtures aren't built to daisy chain and pig tails will add to the heat in the wall and the resistance of the circuit.

    How Do I Seal The Wall/Floor Joint so I Can Pressure Wash the Floor?

    The roll stuff you are talking about is called cove moulding. They use it in commercial buildings. It glues to the wall surface and to the floor but as you mentioned you would probably have to caulk it to make a good seal. You could use a roofing type product like torch on maybe or some kind of...

    What to do w/ the walls

    I installed OSB, mainly because of the cost. OSB is $7 a sheet where I am. I also thought that OSB would be better for hanging things off the walls wherever you want and you can't punch a hole through OSB like you can with drywall.

    Help wiring switch/light/outlet

    Rather than bother with 14/3 wouldn't it be easier to go to the outlet first, then the switch? That's how I did my garage wiring. Also how would the unswitched line in the 14/3 be energized? Just double up on the connection before the switch?

    new compressor help

    The "open" fitting should be the opening for your unloader. Once the pressure switch shuts off the power to the motor it has a little pin that opens this valve and lets the air between the head and the check valve escape. But there should be a line that comes from the check valve to the...

    Funny thing, when I was working in the bush in the Kootenays doing silviculture stuff (spacing, pruning, herbicide) I camped with an English guy that came here to swing between the trees in the mountains of British Columbia! Whenever we went off to work in the block he would be singing the...

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    In Canada the tank must have a date of manufacture on it. And judging by the paint colour matching I am pretty sure that the pumps are the same age as the tanks.

    I do need an autodrain I actually just came in from draining it PITA! It is sitting on neoprene pads, even nicer than hockey pucks! If you need any parts for your Brunner there is an outfit in Toronto that still makes parts www.atmosphair.net. They have rings etc for them.

    Deck Railing ( Wood)

    Spacing for residential spindles in BC is 4", the top rail has to be 40" high and the bottom one has to be within 4" of the floor. It is supposed to be able to take either 450 or 900# force, I forget which. I did mine out of 4x4 posts and mortised holes out of the sides to accept 2x4s then...

    I have a 1964 Brunner A-212 with a 1958 3hp motor (the motor weighs 113#) I bought the 1958 Brunner in Sudbury for $75 but the tank was bad. I had the motor fixed up for $40 and found a 1964 Brunner in Ottawa with a 3 phase motor. I put the single phase motor on it from the other one and have it...
