    Shame, the authorities blocking progress. So apparently you've started renovating the existing facility, while the application will rest top of some office desks. That oil can ist a tremendous find. Exxon-Mobile offers some information about their history. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company...

    Anyone else a Sun Equipment junkie??

    Most likely not. Last seen 2017... Snatched a 'defective' 1010 a while ago. After opening up, it showed one of the pc-boards having disconnected from main board. Even dispite having been secured by a clamp across this and all other pc-boards. Yes, a complete visual check should be mandatory...

    Please critique my garage

    No need pulling a chain if it's an electric driven door. Also no need discussing escape hatches. It had been pointed out and the garage owner will decide on it. Personally I'd prefer a small entrance, not exposing my garage contents to bypassers or the entire neighbourhood, when just entering.

    How about lowering the ground floor? Preferably having a ramp within the driveway, or maybe if not possible differently, using the two forward parking spots inside the building as a ramp.

    Please critique my garage

    Raised ceiling just around the lift will, imho, result in constructionwise and statically issues, exceeding the cost of a complete higher ceiling in the garage. To me, the partially raised ceiling could only be justified by legal restrictions affecting the entire building.

    Please critique my garage

    Not having read everything in this very active thread. Just noted "No drivethrough as per city regulations". An 'emergency exit' could always be argumented. Very nice garage.

    Penske jack rebuild kit.

    Regarding rubber plug vs screws, it's either or. As your jack has the plug there is no need touching the screws for refill. Have you been able refilling some oil? Just two drops or was it a notable quantity? Filled until it came out again?

    Penske jack rebuild kit.

    As already said: refill hydraulic oil. Usually there is a rubber plug in top of the cylinder. Remove and refill with the jack in lowered position. Since the cylinder being hidden in Low position, there could be a screw to be removed near the pump plunger. At least there will be two screws. Most...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT Old barn - New life

    Impressive! Further southeast we had maybe a week with snow. Now we can see the farside driveway. Or a small portion of it. But sufficient to understand the higher level. The barn itself has two stories of attic, but none really usable for safe storage of material. Except boards... Some of the...

    Almost. Wrote 'two third' but meant 'two fifth'.

    Ok, got it. A quarter of the existing barn will be removed, but being rebuild including the addition. So when it's all done, two third of the barn will be made of stone. That's to become the workshop, most likely to allow work in wintertime. The middle section will be used as garage while the...

    Great project. Already following this, being curious what's coming up. Question: those drawings above do not exactly show your barn, but a similiar one? I recognize different doors, facing the house. So it cannot reflect the existing situation. Nor can it be the intended change, since the...

    Norway is super cool. Especially in winter. Are you planning for insulation? I am well aware this would not comply with age and style of the building, but workspace during wintertime would also be smart. Especially the northern lights are quite used to english. Dutch people as well. This...

    Sun VAT-33

    Folks, please allow exhuming this stiff, since Google found it for me, when searching the web for VAT-28. Got hold of a VAT-28 and a VAT-38. These units all have big power clamps with the large diameter cables ob the l/h side. Three of them. Red, black and green. Plus those test leads from the...
