No moisture for the ground to be conductive?

If you are sealed that tight and want to use a fan, you will have to have a set of louvers equal to the fans CFM. Also, if you put in any kind of flame heat it will need combustion air. With this, you may have to use a small actuator to open the louvers when the heat fires up. Or, buy cheaper...

I clicked on high, not that I always know what I am doing but I try. I have done everything to older (pre computer) cars, trucks, tractors, equipment withoout any formal training other than working with folks who knew their stuff. I let the whole computer thing slow me down a bit till I got a...

Agreed.

Very nice table! I had the same thought last year. I had an old workbench from my father in law that I repurposed and found that the base was an old Simplex cast iron machine stand. I looked for some barnwood to make a top and found an old door. I had to do a little more splinter control than...

I bought the blue HF Mig cart. First thing I did was put heavier front casters on it, the originals bound and fought me all the time. They are double the size and weight of the originals. That was all it needed, been using it for at least 10 years.

You don't have to get too crazy with support. It can be anything from U or J hooks, A U is bent and sharp on both ends and you just hammer it into the wood. You can use galvanized strap, wood blocks and clamps, etc. It does not have to have fall or be plumb but asthetics comes in, you don't want...

I'm in Southwest PA. It's a good runner. I bought it off the local church where I do grounds. Used to cut 4 acres with a Woods belly mower. Loved the sound pulling the hills in second. Sold the mower a couple years ago, mistake, coulda had the tractor sold if it still had the mower. It has a...

Wow, great looking shop! Shelving and everything. I also like the IH brand. Started in 1977 driving a Loadstar 1650 my boss rented to PennDot for snow removal. Helped build the IH Registry Cub cadet site in 2001. It crashed and I started www.cubcadetcollectors in 2010. Currently the herd...

Unfortunately, on some applications like the mower deck and front blades, etc. they do get a load. Not a structural type of load but a lot of vibrational and lateral load depending on the age and condition of the points attached. I run a lot of old Cub Cadets and undercarriage lift points are...

Is there a concrete floor? If not, definitely put down a vapor barrier to reduce condensation.

I got a liitle more ready for winter. I didn't buy a snowplow for the new Yanmar due to the fact I have three of them for old Cub Cadets I can play with. One for a Super Garden tractor I built to 54" wide and added height to roll more snow. The Yanmar has a cam lock to hold the mower deck into...

Bought my Montgomery Ward toolbox in 1978 when I opened a small engine shop. It's done me well but I ran out of room some time ago. A new HF 44" is on my Christmas list.

The pot belly stove I use is an easy light with the ash area below the grate. A hatchet to make some thin kindling is my way to a quick fire. Lucky I took the old Ford out for one of it's last rides before I tear into it for winter repairs. A pallet company has a sign on a "box" of shorts for...

I am sure quality of tape has diminished lately. Buying your tape from a good commercial supplier is probably the way to go. At least maybe increase your chances of getting a better quality. I was a Master Plumber by trade for years and no more than three wraps was the norm on fittings, gas or...

The fact that there was jobsite debris left around makes it unprofessional. Chances are, someone like that would also use your tools.

More on the garage... A.) I definitely think I need a new tool box. I bought the one I have in 1978. It has served me well but all my tools do not fit, I have two other small boxes plus things laying on shelves. Picked up a pot belly stove down the road for 45 bucks, can't go too far wrong...

New garage in an older building. The building was a woodshop for the PO and I just put the garage door in. Over the past five years it has been a workshop for anything I could get through a 3' door opening. Needless to say, it has been a total mess at times being more storage than anything...

We've been in our house for six years now and I love it. House is very well built, except for the garage design. My best friend when I was growing up had one like this and I didn't even think about it being a kid and all. houses were built around the same time, 64. Nice two car attached garage...

Thanks A threshold would be my last option. I am sure they work great but I would rather have gravity do the work.
