    A/C-powered bluetooth speaker

    Similar advice to gregs, if you have some old speakers laying around just get a mini BT amp. I've got this one and it works great. https://www.amazon.com/BT20A-Bluetooth-Audio-Amplifier-Integrated/dp/B07BQC7GNL/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    Compressor air filter for HF 60 gallon?

    I think you have a B3800 pump. If so, it looks like this will work: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kobalt-abac-america-Parts/Air-compressor-Parts/Model-K7060V/3244/0703000/50026510/00001?blt=06&prst=&shdMod=

    Compressor air filter for HF 60 gallon?

    I'm not a noise expert, but, here goes. The plastic filter I took off is a straight through design. The air travels straight into the slots on the outside, and continues in a straight line through a very porous piece of foam to the port. Other than the thin piece of foam, there is no sound...

    Compressor air filter for HF 60 gallon?

    The noise level difference would be worth another $50 to me.

    Compressor air filter for HF 60 gallon?

    Aren't those the same part numbers I posted in the picture of my invoice? Maybe a picture or dimensions of your inlet would be appropriate. I can measure anything you need from my setup.

    Compressor air filter for HF 60 gallon?

    Ah, I see now. Mine is for the 5HP,two stage. Yours is the 3HP, single stage? I first found those part numbers by hunting around the ABAC and Bellaire websites looking for similar pumps with better intake filters.

    Compressor air filter for HF 60 gallon?

    It turns this: Into this: The noise level difference after this change is huge. With the old intake filter the noise was deafening, and you couldn't stand to be near the compressor. With the new intake filter, it's much better. You can stand in front of the compressor and carry on a...

    Do I have to pay $500 for a suspension bushing kit?

    The trick I use to get the rubber and inner sleeve out is to run a drill bit through the rubber, then let it eat its way around the inner sleeve. Before you know it the rubber is gone and the inner sleeve comes right out. Try it, you'll be surprised, let the drill do the work. From that...

    Last ditch effort basement watchdog pump/jumper cables running car

    Really? What an ignorant statement. Do the calculations, I think you'll find there's less than 2V drop if using 12GA at 6A. Stlll 12V at the pump.

    Last ditch effort basement watchdog pump/jumper cables running car

    I've run my battery backup sump off my running truck. Generator died during a storm last year. I used two 50 ft extension cords. Cut off the plug on each end and soldered clamps on it. Worked fine. I kept those hacked cords as a backup backup.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Same here. The magnet stayed on my tool box the first time I took it off. Fortunately I had also bought the three super glue tubes for $0.99. A couple drops fixed it right up. Decent light for $3.

    Ceiling vapor barrier behind metal ceiling?

    Steel ceiling also here, with R38 cellulose blown in over a vapor barrier. No moisture issues. I heat it year round with ceiling fans running. I do not have steel siding/roof. OSB + vinyl/asphalt shingles. My attic is ventilated just like a house with soffit and ridge vents.

    Insulating Pole Barn

    For the ceiling, here's another option. Staple vapor barrier to the bottom of the trusses, taped joints. Then install metal interior liner, screwed to the bottom of the studs. Then blow insulation in over the ceiling. I built a small door on the back wall for attic access above the ceiling...
