I think she gave up on us guys...probably bought him a nice warm cardigan sweater and a pair of gardening gloves. Hope he doesn't read this thread and seeso_O all the cool **** she could have bought him instead.

Actually, now that I think about it...I lied. The 16" Makita beam saw IS a sidewinder. I did hate that fact though!

^^^^maybe if you're left handed! In my 32 years as a framer / framing contractor, I never used a 'sidewinder'...guess I wasn't a real carpenter.

Only if you cut from opposite sides. It will however cut 3X4's in a single cut. There is a company called 'Big Foot Tools' that makes a replacement table/ guard for a 10-1/4" blade....THEN you can cut 4x's in a single pass. Much better than pulling out the 16" Makita beam saw to cut a 4X.

Others have said it... If you have something that requires more than 15 amps but less than 21 you'll be happy you have correctly wired 20 amp receptacles. My pressure washer requires a 20 amp receptacle.

Old age and trickery shall win over youth and exuberance.

Ask him "If you won the lottery, what kind of tools would you buy yourself?"

Screw that! Here...let me help you spend some cash...continue the exposed aggregate concrete just past your Generac and say, oh 4' in front of it...then a big sweeping radius back toward the house until it meets the NEW sidewalk that wraps around the house and continues to your patio...

No more 'Hurk McGuirk' there buddy!

FWIW, when you fill from empty to full pressure, the compressed air will be hot, in which it expands so as your gauge may indicate 160psi, as the compressed air cools, the indicted pressure will drop so be aware this is normal and NOT a leak.

As I stated earlier, all it takes is a small piece of carbon or even rust to create a void between the 2 sealing surfaces then you've got a leak.

FYI, there are quite a few great compressor parts suppliers online for future needs. https://mastertoolrepair.com/ctd3812-check-valve-022adc/

Welcome to the friendliest and most helpful group of 'MacGyver's' in the known universe. Prepare to spend lots of money on tools & equipment that you never knew you needed.

Sooooo...was it actually leaking or are you just 'replacing parts' until the leak stops? Most, but not all check valves can be disassembled and cleaned. All it takes is a little piece of carbon to get stuck between the seat.

That is correct. The check valve is a 'one-way valve' so the pressurized air stays in the receiver.

The low maximum pressure of the QR single stage series is puzzling for sure, especially as the smallest model shown (210) has the highest although intermittent.

240 has a 16ø two groove sheave 270 has a 19ø three groove sheave

So...how high did you jump?

I'm with The Cobbler. Check the check valve first.

I wouldn't. Sandwiching your metal siding between the ledger and the truss and or posts would lead to a nightmare down the road. I would feel much better keeping the lean-to as a independent structure mounted with some clearance between the metal siding. Then again, if you removed the siding and...
