You should check with some commercial fence companies as they can usually provide larger lengths at better than retail, even DIY. Retail is high buck and cheap wire, I just did about 200' over the last couple of years. It was about $350 recently to do a 45' run with one gate and one corner...

I have a 24x40 with a 2 opst and no, no regrets what so ever. Really not a loss of floor space at all IMHO. No, because I take extra care in parking the vehicle, selecting the lift points, loading the vehicle on the lift and double checking said lift points, raising about a foot and testing...

What I did - no box in the attic, just a bushing and ran the NMC down the pipe.

Not mine - you can talk in the other room behind the insulation and sound reduction, but in the other part of the shop where the "door" is just a piece of Quiet Brace, no - it's 85+ dB over 20' away. It's loud. You can hear it outside the building, which is through the black door, 28' of air...

I have a Big Red engine hoist (cheery picker) with an 8 ton ram. With the boom out, it's the same rating - 1/2 ton - fully extended. I just had a 429 Ford on it here a while back, that's 100% cast iron and around 680 lbs as dresses. It nearly folded a "750 lb" Harbor Freight stand when I...

I have a 24x40, detached, 130' feed. The 20 space 100A box is full, has 240 well pump, lift, mill, lathe, heater, air compressor and RV hookup. Two 120V AC units total 24K BTU along with misc 120V power tools including a Hobart MIG. Run it all off a 70A breaker, no trips.

Typically. Kiltz to kill the bleed through and seal the surface, then top coats. After I priced all that for the 24x40 I said "gee, I sure like the warm color of wood".

I've seen a few container houses - IMHO if I wanted a tiny house I'd stick build and it's be quicker and cheaper than buying a bunch of containers and cutting them up, framing, etc. Square pegs going into round holes.

You'd be upset I guess to find me milling a 2x4 on the G0519 LOL.

Same here - mines in a closet and doesn't run enough to even need the minimal venting it has.

I've got a 1982 vintage Radio Shack tuner with a strip of twin lead for an antenna. I'm all LED drop in bulbs and haven't noticed any issue with radio reception. Hmm.

Our trailer has a 60A 12 space breaker panel with a 240V 4 wire feed. Same bus style as the 100a panel in the shop. As I recall, the shore cord is terminated with a NEMA 14-50P. I do use an adapter for the generator - to go from the 14-50P to a 4 wire L14-30 240V twist lock on the Honda 7000...

It's air compressor day LOL Closet with 2x4s turned sideways to reduce wall thickness. Inside is lined with Quiet Brace, then pink fiberglass insulation, then OSB outside. Really cuts the noise. Static venting but it never gets hot - this isn't a production shop. Note the fancy intake...

You'd have to look at the individual units I think. I have a older 25 gallon Porter that runs on 120V , around 1.5 real HP, and I've used it in the past to do everything from paint a couple of cars to running the air nailers used to build our shop. It's not very loud, easy 20+ years old. It's...

This. Although, unless your angle is way the hell out of whack, who cares. I've had several race cars and never once set pinion angle. Bad pinion angle is when the rear end yoke is pointing at the ground. All you really need is it to not be directly in line. If the trans tail and rear yoke...

Me - saves time and hassle. You can only turn in 2 or maybe 3 gallons at the parts stores here, can't trans in trans fluid. Truck, truck, car equals 17 quarts. It's bad enough that two race cars hold 16 quarts total. Then I have to drain the filters, bag them, put the oil in something to...

Better pic - still not Townhouse size For a townhouse I'd look for a portable 20~25 gallon with a separate motor/belt/compressor setup. Way much quieter. Just have to check the motor plate or manual to see if a 120V unit could be re-wired to run on 240V. This is discontinued, but should...

Having done the looking for an RV/Class A motor home thing, I can say that except for a large number of racers that use Class A pushers, RVs and motorhomes sit a lot. A large number have very low miles, even at 10+ years old. Easy enough to find a 10 year old $170K Class a for half or 1/3 of...

Depends - small RVs usually are wired 30A 120v. Larger units will be 50A 240v. Our race trailer is 50A 240v and tagged as an RV because of the bath package and water tanks. I can use an adapter to power it with 120 but I try not to. For small things like keeping the fridge running and the...

My Campbell 60 gallon 3.2HP upright has been used for all kinds of car stuff over the last 15 years.
