    Any tips using a wagner Pro Max

    Just finished painting my OSB lined 20x36 shop. Started with a little Wagner power painter and my wife back rolling behind me with a roller. Got primer on one wall paint gun got hot and smoke came out. Use to be a old joke at work that they build all electrical equipment with smoke in it if it...

    What are you guys lining your garage walls with?

    OSB one coat oil base primer one coat latex semi-gloss. Had extra white paint so I added one quart black per gallon of white to get gray for bottom.

    Paint question

    Got a good deal on some discontinued paint. Latex semi-gloss. Primed the OSB with oil base primer and the top 7 1/2 feet I painted with the white latex semi-gloss. I would like to paint the bottom 4 feet gray. I have a lot of the white latex left. What do you think about buying a gallon of black...

    Drywalling a pole barn?

    Here's another picture. Seems like it takes a lot of wood, but I was lucky to be able to have the used lumber at no cost only my labor to get it.

    Drywalling a pole barn?

    I am finishing the inside of a polebarn currently. I will be covering the walls with 7/16 OSB so my situation is different than yours. My walls are 11' 4" high. I had a lot of 2X4's out of an old bowling alley I wanted to use. Some were only 5 ft. long some 10 ft. long. My dad is helping me and...

    Used mini-split

    I bought two of these units at an auction to heat and cool my 20X36 shop. Plan is to get one hooked up and have a local HYVAC guy charge it. I will have the other for spare parts or to sell if all works out. It does not appear that these units were sealed when the lines were unhooked. They have...

    Wire size for mini-split

    I bought a used Mitsubishi (MUZ-GE18na). I have lined up a local HYVAC guy to charge the system. The installation manual I got online seems to say to use 14 gauge wire on a 220volt breaker. Can I use 12/2 with ground on a 15 amp 220 volt breaker to run this unit or am I missing something?

    Mini-Split in a polebarn

    My new polebarn is 36X40. I plan on building a wall down the middle so I end up with a 36X20 shop with 11ft walls. Plan is to put 2ft of vertical foam in ground around the perimiter before we pour concrete. Planing on 1 1/2 to 2 inches of closed cell sprayfoam on inside walls then 6 inch bats...

    Workbench Top Material Alert, Bowling Alley going out of Business-Denver Area

    Good information form OP. Just finished removing two lanes from an old bowling alley on Monday. It was a big job but will be worth it for some good bench tops in my new shop.

    Lighting... I need advice and guidance...

    Thanks Charles for adding the link to my post. After studying veno's post a while back I decided to buy 4 of the 105 watt cfl's to replace 4 300 watt incadescent bulbs in an old 36x36 polebarn. They are a little slow to warm up but the amount of light they put off is amazing. I am planning on...
