Just over 2 years ago I bought a new 80gal 5hp duel stage IR compressor. This one. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/ingersoll-randreg%3B-5hp-air-compressor-80-gal A couple months ago I noticed rust spots on the outside of the tank. Its in the garage. I had a 60 gal for 25+ years and have NO...

Not really a question about a garage but I think you guys are the best to get the answer from. I'm building a storm shelter on my bedroom floor (cement slab) which used to be a garage. I would like to use cement blocks and fill them with concrete and re-bar. It will be 3ft x 4ft and 5.5ft high...

I logged in to ask another question and saw I never finished my saga. I tore down what the contractor (3 stooges) built and started over. I dug out and poured footings where the asphalt was to bolt 4x4 exterior lumber for a footing all around. I built the walls with 2x4's covered with 5/8...

I decided I will cut the beam down to 18'9" and use 3 Jack studs and 2 king studs.

No snow I'm in north Alabama. The most we have ever had is 2-3" which lasted 1-3 days. I was either planning on using 3 jack studs and 2 king studs with a cut beam 18'6" or if I used the whole 20ft, then 2 king studs and 2 jack studs at 20ft then 2 more jack studs at the 18'6" point. Im...

Well I started out just wanting a carport, I let a local talk me into building a garage over my old driveway 1/2 cement slab 1/2 asphalt. You can read about the three stooges in the other thread. Anyway I have taken over the job after them putting up the 3 walls of studs 16" on center. It was...

Its just a overhead garage door, I haven't a clue what your asking. Above the door will be a gable truss.

overhead uninsulated they claim a 1/2 hp opener will open it.

Its a LVL from the Truss company 2x11-3/4 I told them what I needed it for. Its a 20ft or I can cut it down to 18ft 6" and use 2 2x4 jack studs.

I ordered 12 trusses and 2 gables which are trusses except extra 2x4s to nail the siding to. So I don't understand. Do you mean I do not need the 12" header or do you mean have a flat truss built to go under the gable truss? The header cost $75 Since I already ordered everything Im trying to...

I need to know how to frame out a 18ft 9ft high door opening. My wall hight is 10.5ft which is where the trusses will set. This is basically a pole barn 2x4 frame with trusses and metal siding. Do I really need a 2x12 LVL header over the door? Do I frame the header so it sits 9ft above the...

can only be low refrigerant or mechanical because the filter and air flow is ok.

"Icing could be caused by an inappropriate restriction, IE a piece of snot in the middle of the evap causing high pressure behind it and a presure drop in front of it." I would think that a "piece of snot" would affect the heating cycle also or at least move it. I don't know about the...

I'm in the process or straighting out a garage that a bad contractor started. The foundation is 4x4's on the parking slab. However about 1/2 of the slab is asphalt driveway. The concrete side is anchored to the 4" slab. I want to tie down the asphalt side with hurricane or mobile home anchors. I...

All good ideas. All the fittings on both ends are flair, I do not know if there is a fitting that can be soldered after its screwed on or not. Since I have to find somebody to charge it if its low I will ask them if they can solder the fittings. The only place I can find ice is on the top few...

The inside condenser I cleaned as soon as the problem started. Its clean, I even removed the filter which was already clean. The outside I haven't looked at. Its under a building. I will check next week. thanks

I have no idea of the type of valve. Yes 3 years ago I flushed out the lines and pulled a vacuum for about 3 hours. I wouldn't know how moister got in a 3 year old system thats been operating perfectly. It is freezing on the top of the evaporator fins only that I can see. The line out of the...

I called the company that installed the split whole house system before I bought the house but they wont touch any unit they didn't install and the tech got insulted when I asked him if he would work on mine on his time off since his company wouldn't touch it. So I will have to find a hens...

I have checked these places last summer and did not notice any oil. If it was leaking wouldn't it affect the heat side also.? I do not have any electric coils for backup. Its strictly the heat pump.

I installed it 3 years ago and its been in use for those three years without problems until this summer. I flared the lines and pumped them down. I don't know how much charge it had initially but It came with freon in the compressor for 20ft of lines. I used about 10ft Yes its off the ground, it...
