There is one. You can't really see it in that picture.

Got tired of needing the tractor to push my projects back inside the garage. Another upgrade was needed. Added concrete under the new lean to and in the driveway. I think I have used enough excuses. Time to get back on my Fairlane wagon project!

Had a lazy weekend. I had to pull the transmission out of the Fairlane. I installed a hydraulic clutch in it and it worked fine until it didn't. Now it is not fully engaging. When I got it out the disc is fine. I think the assembled height of the hydraulic slave cylinder is too tall. When the...

I have a 60x30 with 12' high walls. I put a 5700CFM exhaust fan in each of the gable ends of the garage at the peaks. I also had the metal roof spray foam insulated. It gets hot down here in S Alabama and this is all done to pull the heat out of the building. It does a great job of it. Having...

I slid mine into the pockets of the trusses. Makes a nice additional storage area. It is so nice that I decided to get a few more and add them up there too. Now plenty of additional storage area. Of course, that assumes you have a framed truss roof system.

In the old house I lived in my dad never pumped his for more than 30 years and I went another 10 before I had it pumped. I'm trying to be better about it at my new "to me" house.

Thanks. Good thinking. I know it wasn't done in the last 3 years. I will have to call around and see.

I am out in the country and they have no oversight on septic systems. If I wanted to use rainwater and an outhouse it would be all good down here where I am. No drawings whatsoever... unfortunately. I have enough distance between mine and my neighbor's house that there are no concerns.

I just bought my house. It has a septic system but I am not sure of the exact location of the tank. I can see where the field is by the green grass. I have a general idea of where the tank is. I bought the house at auction. Since I can't talk to the previous owners, any ideas how to find the...

I ran completely out of storage space inside the garage and I wanted a place under roof to park my truck. The pecan trees were covering it with sap so I decided a lean to was needed.

Very nice! Only reason I'm walking the earth today is because of a Corvair. Ralph can pound sand! I am a fan of the 65-69 models. I never really cared for the looks of the early bodystyle BUT I would love to get a Lakewood or a Greenbriar.

So this weekend I did a thing. I'm really getting close to having an honest to goodness shop here. I'm getting pretty excited to use it.

I came here to say the same thing. Find an HVAC shop that forms their own duct. Buy some of this flexible duct connector and have them form a TDF onto the metal portion. Then screw the TDF portion to the container. The only drawback to this is that the connector is easy for critters to eat...

Well, it isn't much but I made another step in the right direction in the garage today. We are getting the siding replaced on the back half of our building at work. They are just scrapping the old siding. I picked up 4 of the best pieces and brought them home. I slid them into the trusses of the...

Garage got spray foam insulation. I couldn't do a lot after this. Today is "Mrs. Ford Guy"'s birthday so if she's not happy nobody is happy. I'm now ready to get things organized on the shelves and get to work. You can really tell a difference. Even without the fans running it's not to bad...

Tonight will be a project of drag everything out of the garage that isn't on a shelf. I have the spray foam insulators here tomorrow to do the bottom of the roof panels with closed cell foam. They have to set up scaffolding around the shop and cover everything with plastic. This will be the last...

I'm the opposite unfortunately. I have so many projects going on that I get overwhelmed at how many things I need to do. I run from one job to another and next thing you know the shop is looking terrible and nothing is put away... to the point where just cleaning the shop is a huge undertaking...

I really can't explain how good this makes me feel. I get off of work today and have this project, not a fun project but a project. I had to change the trailer jack on my car trailer. I've needed to do it for years but never got around to it. Anyway I come home hook up the tractor to the trailer...

Well next Wednesday is the date that they start the spray foam on my garage ceiling. So I figured I better get busy and put the second exhaust fan in. It flows so much air in there now that I am almost rethinking the insulation... almost. LOL. I got home from work and start to finish it was...

Not all single phase motors can change directions. Like mentioned before, if doing this on the cheap and the motor can't be reversed just flip the motor the other direction.
