Does anyone make a quality horizontal 240v unit that'll fit under the bench? I don't want a cheap CH blue one but would solve my space issue. The Quincy manual says I need 18" from the wall to the belt guard, so I can't tuck it into that corner.

Also for a similar price the IR SS4L5 pushes even more air- 14cfm with the same 60 gallon format.

I need to upgrade from my little "stacked hot dog" baby compressor. I run some air tools, an HVLP spray gun, and I have a "barrel blaster" budget bead blaster that the specs call for 12 CFM @80psi. I loaned away my IR garage mate vertical compressor. It was only good for 5cfm and I had to...

And she's built! Now to backfill the wall, gutters, and some landscaping. I figure some mulch and bushes and sod will take care of the raw clay.

I have a little bit of a rough concrete trench between the wall and slab but it shouldn't get much water at all. Maybe some gravel just so I don't have pooling water in there?

Circling back- today I had the retaining wall poured. I have 16" clearance from retaining wall to shed wall. That was the minimum for them to build it. I still need to grade and backfill after the building is in. I'm thinking I'll want a gutter on the uphill side of the shed roof to channel...

Well it's one of the hottest days we've had so far the summer- 94 outside, 98 heat index. Wife just parked her hot Tesla 3 in the garage and it's charging. Mr. Cool is still maintaining the set 77 degrees. I'm happy. Now to see what winter brings.

For sure that's the plan. That way if there's a leak I shut off that branch without shutting off the whole system.

They’re called foster fuels. I finally got a plumber to email me back. He supposed to come by next week to look it over.

Well they made $3700 off of me to sell the tank and I signed up for monthly fills starting this fall. I guess I can try again.

I haven't had gas delivered yet. But I can get in touch with the lady in the office. But to get any sort of plumbing work- ghosted- never a contact back. All they care about is fees. Which is why when I bought this house, I bought out the tank ($3700) because I didn't want to be a lease...

I'm also thinking about skipping the whole POL fitting part and taking the supplied generator hose and make it longer and do a QD fitting at the tee. I don't like that the only POL/AMCE fitting I can find only has a 1/4NPT on the other side and no internal shut off valve. I want to have a 25'...

Oh yes, I meant flare fittings- compression fittings have those little copper rings. I'm not worried about exact code, permits, just making it safe for myself the best I can. I spent 3 months trying to get a gas plumber out here, even the propane supply company- nobody will even return a phone...

Thanks for the insight- The house is about 20 feet from the tank, maybe closer. Only gas appliances I have are the furnace, cook top, and 2 fireplaces which won't be used if generator is running furnace. There's a shraeder valve on red regulator- it's safe to put a tire gauge on that (with tank...

PoorUB- I saw in a search your other advice about propane installs. Here's my question if I put a tee and ACME fitting in my propane tank "trunk" as pictured above. I'm assuming the red regulator is a first stage and the big one on the house is the second stage. Will I be good putting the...

So I popped the top on the propane tank (underground). Looks like I can easily add a tee, shut off, and a ACME/POL fitting and just hook the generator up right to it instead of messing with anything at the house. Right where the yellow copper line goes into that pressure regulator.

Oh yeah a 1/2 line handles something like 290,000btu/hr. The generator specs say at 100% load, it uses 2.2kg/hr, which translates to .11 cubic feet an hour. Not much. When it cools off I'm going to pop the top of the propane tank hatch and see if there's anything available to plumb an extra...

I have a 500 gallon underground tank. I want put a tee, shut off valve, and POL/bbq fitting so I can run a dual fuel 9000 watt generator from it. Any plumbing gurus that can help me piece together the best way to do this with my set up? Am I better off teeing into the copper line? In the Iron...

How invasive and expensive was it to blow insulation into the outside wall? I'm considering having that done as well as the wall cavities are currently empty and I might to keep the heat in this winter.

I was leaning towards the 18k but my brother has a 12k in his garage and keeps it at 72 (no cars, just motorcycles). Once I saw the mr. cool 12k was much cheaper, and only 120volts- which made the wiring easier and cheaper too, I went that route. These mini-splits are supposed to run...
