Maybe in your neck of the woods they are harmless but I can't count how many black widow and brown recluse spiders I have run across in my barn/shop this year and they are not harmless. I am glad this thread is up here as it gives me some ideas. I am really tired this summer and fall of...

We have three at our ranch (one is new this year); had the two older ones pumped this year (first time in 6 years) and would expect to do them every 5-7 years; the septic guy that we use also suggests about every 5 years for us. No idea what it costs, the SWMBO takes care of the payment. We...

I saw the comments this past weekend on the movie and noticed that the screenplay was by 'Jack Olsen'. I said to myself I wonder if that is our Jack Olsen and sure enough it is. Wow. And you are still posting stuff here amongst us mere mortals?....Congrats!!!:thumbup:

I just got off the phone with Justin and he referred me to this thread. My barn was power trowled as well and he recommended just a very very dilute acid etch followed by a neutralizer before spraying on the TLPPC. He mentioned like a 10-1 dilution of the muriatic acid that he gets from his...

I bought the 300' master kit and some extra outlets from Northern Tool on sale. Installed it in my 60x100 barn/shop. Put in 3 drops in the main part of the drop and 3 in 25x25 air conditioned shop that I am building out. One thing the kits are short on is hangers/clips. I used electrical conduit...

I want to thank you for the lead on the WAGO connectors. I have been doing a build out of my new barn/shop/etc. and was in the process of putting in LED strip lighting as well. I have assembled the strip lighting like you and was stuck this weekend on how to efficiently run power to segregated...

First of all I commend your start at using the program. I'm an engineer by background; program in many languages; used to teach programming back in college back in the days of punch cards. I typically just start learning a new program by diving in and coding (or in this case drawing). Tried it a...

Went through my pics and the few of the barn interior don't show anything of significance of the install. I'll try to get some in a couple of weeks. One thing I will note is that the amount of 'clips' to hang the pipe that are included in the kit are insufficient to do a decent install. I...

I bought the 300 foot 3/4"kit from Northern Tool this past winter (on sale plus coupons) and installed in this spring in my new barn. I also got some extra fittings as well. Easy to install and no leaks with this kit. I had access to a scissor lift on weekends while the electricians were running...

Re: Garage Refurb On the used Ipod route, a few years ago I got a handful of used 30 and 40 GB Ipods from a pawn shop that weren't working for $5 each. Figured that most of the problems were bad batteries. Ordered some replacement batteries off the internet for about $10-12 each and got about...

Gregor, I know this about a year old post but I wanted to comment on the Maxair system leaks. I put in the Maxline RapidAir system a couple of months ago. No leaks whatsoever. However I believe my instructions said to use both Teflon tape plus pipe sealant. I used a Teflon based sealant that I...

Steven, I was going to make a similar post and hopefully I won't get accused of hijacking your thread. This is my first post on this site but have been lurking for about a year. Last fall I had an engineered steel building put up on the ranch, 60' x 100' with a 6 inch slab and number 4 rebar...
