Where I live, about 7 miles from the local FD but out near farms (etc) if a fire gets actually started its likely the FD can't do that much as they also have to truck their own water. its good to have their services but is not going to save very much from 2 fires I have seen in the area. So I...

55' seems like an oddball size to me, 60' x 80' seems about right. I would go for 2 lean-tos. One for parking things underneath, in the back. Two, out front for family gatherings, picnics, etc when the weather turns bad, or when you need a temporary place to work on a dusty project or are...

If one had a week to "walk it up", it might just get done...assuming it doesn't auto-tip when left unsupported. The side benefit would be that the pallet would be mostly worn away but the time he got to the top....

I had a 40cal on a week ago, troubleshooting lack of power to find the circuit breaker for the 1200A bus tripped in the indoor substation room. They are more fun in winter months ;)

Definitely a spying device far eastern bloc bad actors are using to monitor your garage useage.

Imo this is opposite of how a person would drive a forklift. Always want the load on the uphill side (drive uphill, back downhill). Working as suggested without an exotic load, will lift your steering tires off the ground, exacerbated by the torque reaction from the drive wheels. If a person...

If you have any local auctions for machine shops or manufacturing plants liquidating, hand pushed carts seem to be low-priced. Depends if you can wait a bit or need it now. I have two "free" ones that came along with other equipment I was after, but have proven very useful.

I don't think the box truck can make the curve without damaging your landscaping or sending a tire off the driveway which is probably going to sink in. I had a driveway like that once and did about the same with a 24' moving box truck. I eventually got it to the top but not without significant...

Along the way probably 20 years ago, I bought a Harbil "vortex" gallon (or quart) paint mixer, used. Does not shake but spins on an axis which also rotates the can causing a tornadic vortex to form inside. Its clunky to move around, is frequently in the way due to no permanent home, but has...

From researching it some, you have to define your "class of use" to select the grating...in other words there are heavy duty uses like loaded cushion tired forklifts and 747 airplanes which might have to cross a trench drain. My interest was going to be outside due to part of the drive...

A couple of issues to note. First you have to become more respectful of electricity. 240vac is a man-killer. Or, from anectodal evidence talking to a lot of people, can damage your heart, that can present a problem later in life. Ground path is the first and most important path to establish...

I had good luck removing rivets from the vertical to radius transition in my track and replacing with button head screws, this was when increasing the storage height of the garage door after raising the header. They were slightly taller but the door does not seem to care.

Are the posts laminated? I am seeing some gaps in the top where I would not expect this with a solid piece.

I repaired that kind of opposition once on a vapor-tight operator (by inverting the switch), only to find it was a 3-way switch.... :oops:

I would not ever use a **** splice other than this one (there are 3 variants for different wire gauges). Moisture will inevitably find and corrode standard **** splices or unlined heat shrink tubing in an outdoor app like a truck or trailer, and we all know how that goes when you are attempting...

I have been "gone" from the thread for a bit...6 years (!!) To quickly update... Built a 6 cylinder HEI distributor based on 1990s GM "small cap remote coil" for my tractor to replace the OE international harvester design... Built this air distribution system in my attic... Brought in...

One could theoretically disable phase loss detection, I would try "000" but at 10hp not a good idea to assume it can run with a 1ph input. Its not clear to me what the three "bit states" are, whether that's L1, L2, L3, or Input, Output, Both....(??)

One could use grey polyurethane caulk. Machine skates tend to chip the edges of a saw cut, I had a thought that non-shrinking precision grout (aka for grouting machine bases) would be the best (most robust) filler since its more or less a concrete material, although it would take some work with...

Should be suitable for 10hp provided you have 3 phase input. With only a single phase input you'd have to check but probably about half.

Only the propane 20# bottle for the gas grill (etc) has the trilobe handle. It does **** to lose your welding gas but like with so many things in life, the lesson will be repeated until its learned.
