    Insulating the interior of a Morton Building

    FINALLY got a quote from Morton. I think they're smoking crack because when they told me the quote, I immediately scoffed at their price... So, to recap.... shop area is 36X36 with an open ceiling. Walls are 12 feet high. Only need 3 walls insulated as the 4th wall has already been done (which...

    How do you keep a gravel driveway weed free?

    The only real and permanent solution to your weed problem is to asphalt the driveway. Unfortunately my gravel driveway is 900 feet long and its going to cost a pretty substantial amount to get it paved.

    Insulating the interior of a Morton Building

    An interim update: Been really difficult to get a Morton representative out to the house. I called on 3 separate occasions until I just got pissed and called another Morton company in another state for help. They couldn't help me due to territory issues, but contacted the office in the state I...

    Insulating the interior of a Morton Building

    I know its been awhile, but I just got a quote for spray foam. $5K to spray 4 inches thick of open cell foam. This includes 3 exterior walls, 2 large sliding doors, and the ceiling. This is a 36X36 shop. For 2 inches thick of closed cell foam, the prices increases and additional $1.2K to $6.2K...

    Insulating the interior of a Morton Building

    Thanks for all the helpful replies and information. I like the spray foam idea, but I betcha its going to be expensive. Its a big shop, at least for me. I believe its 36X40 and the ceiling is 15-18 foot high. Only 3 sides would need to be done as the west wall is already insulated. I think the...

    Insulating the interior of a Morton Building

    We recently moved onto a 90 acre property with a pretty sizable Morton building. Well, its damn hot in there. I just came out from being in it at 0730 today and its already heating up in there. I have attached a picture of the east interior wall, it gets the morning sun and standing 10 feet from...

    Replacing a PVC T Inline ??

    Nothing better than a picture: The T is tied into the condensate line from the HVAC, which is to the left, out of the picture. As the condensate line travels from left to right, it is intersected by a T from the water heater overflow pan. That T is leaking, so I have to cut it out. So, it looks...

    Replacing a PVC T Inline ??

    I've got a 3/4" PVC T that is leaking on a condensate line. I've never had to replace something inline before, so I don't know how to go about making that type of connection. Usually I would use a coupler, but since the T is inline with the existing PVC pipe, I don't have a clue how to do this...

    Maxjax - Depressurizing hoses for removal

    Okay. Thanks. The spring loaded couplers I understand I won't loose much. Its the other side that connects to the hydraulic unit I was worried about. But as you say, if the arms are completely down, then I should be able to disconnect and there shouldn't be any pressure on the lines.

    Maxjax - Depressurizing hoses for removal

    I am taking the MaxJax down because we are moving. I have to disconnect the hoses from both the columns and the hydraulic unit. Am I going to get soaked in transmission fluid when I disconnect from the hydraulic unit?
