Gary I'm not sure if the're the same, but when we do pressure test on gas fireplaces both natural and propane we keep the valve closed at the unit. High pressures can damage the control valve, not sure if the same can happen to the hot dawgs. Bill

Here is what I was trying to describe

I think I see a way to do it. Double up the beam close to the door then run joists over to the header above the garage door.

The 3/8 hose is your problrm. The larger black pipe acts as storage. When you plug in a tool a use it the air dumps quickly from the back pipe but cannot be replaced fast enough thru the 3/8 line. Think of your air system like this. The compressor tank is the movie theater, the flex connector...

I also recomend the Sears, mine's a older 2.0 six gallon model. It will out do most of the the bigger units. It will **** up golf balls nails and wood scraps. I like the large dia hose, less clogging. Now if you plan on sucking up a lot of water go for a bigger unit. Hard to beat at around 50...

Try to make some space if you can, you'll love the DRY air . That is a nice unit, we have one at the body shop the same length but the canister is a bit bigger in dia. They work really well. Bill

Here's a shot of an old Shell station near me that they keep preserved. It has'nt been used in over a decade, except for photo shoots. Just a couple of weeks ago they unloaded a couple of cobras and were setting up for some shots. Bill

Thrust by Castle products PB Blaster Singer sewing machine oil, good stuff to have round

Hi Greg All right another MG guy. What are you restoring A, B, C,Midget or T series? I have a few myself great car with more fun per mile than any other car I have owned. As to your compressor size I would go for one of the upright 5-6 hp 60 gal units from lowes Home Depot etc. Provided you...

Around here in NC it is comman to have them in the garage. They must be at least 18" off the floor to pass code.

Here's a couple for you one from the old home and the other is the new house, well been here close to 10 years now. It's a basment garage. Boy I sure miss the old garage. I hope to be building a new one later in 07. Bill

Don't forget the pawn shops too. I picked up a Delta benchtop for 75 bucks also. Looked like it had been used twice. I also found a Dewalt planner for 125 at another pawn shop. Bill

Look in your area for an insulation contractor, one that has a lot of trucks! Check with on buying from them. Alot of time is is a bit cheaper as they move more product and get better pricing. Most are happy to sell as it's just more product moved for them.

Consider the weight load you will be putting on the joist. Are these wood trusses? 24'is a long span for a 2 x 6 . I would check the truss or roof specs if possible before hanging much of a load on the bottom of the joist. Suspended grid may be the best option in your case. Bill

If it's runny, clay oil-sorb works well. Dust pan and broom, shovel , pay the neighborhood kids to clean it up or just wait, it will eventually turn white dry up and blow away.

As ohers have said build it yourself. You can make it any roof style you like with the benifits each has to offer. Barn style or a 12 12 or greater a frame roff will allow loft storage also. You may be limited to 10 x 12 but you can go up!. I was limited to 12 x 12. built mine with the same...

How is the rest of the garage powered? Is there a subpanel in the garage that feed all the other outlets? If so that is where you need to pull power from, provided there is room in the panel for another circuit. Stay away from the other circuit for all the reasons above. My thoughts. Bill

Gotta love the soundtrack

Yes it is best to remove as much dust for a qualityand long lasting paint job. Old white t shirts slightly damp work well, wrap one around the head of a pole sander to wipe down the walls helps speed thing up a bit. Make sure to prime first! Bill

I have a wood fence that is going on 10 years old and is still in great shape. The main things to long life are build it from quality wood not the pre fab panels at homey lows. Stain it with a quality sealer stain not tommys water in a can. Mine was built from 3/4 x 6 pressure treated slats. It...
