    keeping ground from freezing

    I'm going to need a septic inspection done in the near future when i sell my house and usually that's no big deal however with freezing temps this time of year the ground can get hard real quick. We're having a thaw right now so i'm hoping to at least dig up the tank and d-box while the ground...

    Free: old/rusty metal Quaker State barrels

    I was cleaning up my grandfather's property and came across these 2 barrels that i thought someone may be interested in. As you can see they've been poorly painted in the past and they have holes in the bottom(1 barrel has more than the other). They dont have many dents at all but the one on the...

    BBQ smoker in the works

    So i finally pulled the trigger on a new air compressor so i now have an old compressor that was showing it's age. What else am i going to do with it but built a new smoker out of it. The tank dates to 1941 and although the compressor still worked, it was slow and needed attention but upgrading...

    Sagging trusses in detached garage

    I don't want this thread to turn into a similar thread so i'm going to keep this short and sweet. At my grandmother's house she has a detached garage about 22x22 that was built in the early 80's if i had to guess. Very simplistic design(2x4 walls, t-111 siding, truss roof structure). The issue...

    Air compressor decision

    Now that i have 220v wired in the garage, my next hurtle is my air compressor. I have a 20 gallon oil-less for small jobs and a old Kellogg 30 gallon oil lubed that i use for larger jobs. I had to repower the Kellogg when i got it several years ago but due to having only 110v at the time i could...

    Anyone run .035 wire in a Hobart 210 or 190??

    How does it lay down?? I got a roll of .035 when i had my 140, not knowing that the 140 wouldnt handle the .035 so it's still sitting in the box but now that i have a 210 mvp i can use it in that. I tried some .024 wire in the 140 and it was very different from the usual .030 wire i run. The...

    New Hobart 210 mvp

    I just upgraded from a Hobart 140 to a 210 mvp and man oh man is this thing kick-***!! I've pushed the limits of what the 140 would do but the projects just kept getting bigger and bigger so i had to up the game. Unfortunately i didnt have 220v in the garage so i had to run a line from the...

    Air compressor: new head or old

    I have an old Kellogg-American air compressor; about 40-50 gallons and a 1hp motor turning 1725 rpms. The 1hp is a newer motor as the old one was shot when I bought it and I'm limited to 110v for now. It took a while for the compressor to fill up and I thought the head was worn since it was so...
