    what do you keep in your garage?

    Shipping containers are cheap and they make great sheds. I just bought two used 40’ high cubes. Much cheaper than building a shed if they allow it in your area. Storage problem solved. Although at the rate I bring stuff home, I may need another one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bench top lath/ drill press milling machine

    If your going to be milling steel, I wouldn’t waste time with a 3 in 1 machine. Bridgeport style mills are a dime a dozen on the used market. As said before, the tooling can cost just as much as the mill if not more. Already been down that road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shipping container storage - resale market?

And the plastic is not supposed to be exposed above ground. Did this in my barn. Make sure you run a tracer wire with it for future...

    Shop sink no septic field

    If you are that worried about it freezing, you could wrap the exposed pipe with heat trace and insulate over it. It will never freeze. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any water dripping out of the faucet when you disconnect the hose will just drain into the gravel around the hydrant. Sent...

    Compressed air filter/regulator best practices?

    Just wondering why you would use black pipe and not galvanized. I seems to me black pipe would rust over time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
