    What wire for 100A feeder? Upgrade main to 200A?

    Just the first thing that popped in to my head is putting a 200 amp panel in the garage and making the house as a sub panel a option. You will need to have your utility company move your entrance to the garage but just a thought. Then you can upgrade your house panel to a 160 amp.

    Compressor not restarting :(

    By the looks of the picture you have posted, someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe FLA stands for full load amps and I believe 24 amps put you with a 3 hp motor. The switch I posted is only good for 2 HP. I am now thinking your best bet will be to buy a replacement switch from IR. If...

    Compressor not restarting :(

    You need pressure switch with a un loader valve this one you have posted does not have a un loader valve. The un loader valve is the 1/4" tube on the right side of the switch in your pictures.

    Compressor not restarting :(

    Compressor not restarting :(

    The way I read it is you have a 30 psi differential factory set to 70 on 100 off. And it is adjustable cut out to 150 so if you set to 135 off it will tun on at 105. Does that make work for you? It sounds good in my head.

    Compressor not restarting :(

    OK it looks like you are just 220V with no unloader valve if your actual HP of the motor is 2HP or less i suggest buying this one. https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2009040911290359&item=436-DS&catname=

    How do you hang your hose

    I use a garden hose hanger on the wall and I hate it. It seems every time I use the hose I have to stretch the whole thing out and roll the thing back up or it will kink and looks like ****. I am stashing some cash so I can get some kind of reel I just have not found a option I really like...

    Yea sawhorses are the best in my book i have ones that are just a metal clamp type and you just add 2x4 to make the legs an top parts. Best thing is you can saw right threw them and when ever the top 2x4 gets too rough to use just replace it with a new 2x4. Or simple build your own...

    Lisle low profile creeper

    I think your on the right track the ad says the creeper is 4" overall height so I would guess your body would be about 2"-3" off the floor.

    30' x 40' from the ground up.....just not all the way up yet

    I like the metal studs a company just opened up down the road from my place and that is all they deal with is structural steel. Can this be a direct replacement for wood construction or do they have to be figured into the plans of the building for load or what not? Edit: By the way great garage.
