This is also a good time to run conduit for cable, phone, network, water so you don't have to have the conduit boxes on the outside walls. I had a long run to go back to the house so I used pex from Home Depot.

Note the extra perpendicluar runs on the lane side, that is where my OH doors are. That is done because of the extra heat loss in that area. I also ran a conduit in the slab for the electrical for the boiler, saved a ton of $$$ in wire with that shortcut. The 90 degree PVC conduits are also a...

Hey I needed I place to put the keyboard and mouse. A computer in the garage is also good for supplying commercial free music from the internet or hard drive and live race announcing on Sundays

Thanks for the hints. I have about 4" v groove wheels only 4 of them though, I can add more if needed. I am using 1 1/2" square steel tubing. I have all the supplies, just making triple sure of things before I go and cut the steel. Here are all the pics I have saved just in case anyone else...

I am looking at either a 14 or 16' opening and I was planning on the total length at either 20 or 22' That almost gives the 1/3 rule. I was planning on putting the two posts 5-6' apart. Does the size of the gate fall in to place in the calcuation of how far the posts are to be apart? Here...

Yah you want to have some slope otherwise you will get puddles in the middle of the floor. Don't forget the vapour barrier under the insulation too.

Yah I am just wondering how it is holding up, see if he would do anything different if he were to build it again.

Does this gate belong to anyone here? I saved this picture a while ago and I think it was from here. I am trying to replicate thisi desgin so if anyone else has any experience with something like this chime in.

Yah and you can even put a cup underneath the drain pipe to catch the juice without having it blasted 50 miles away every time the drain opens.

Another thing that I did with my drain is when I took the petcock off the tank, I mounted it to the pipe coming out of my auto drain. This allows me to limit the amount of air the comes out, it really cuts down on noise and allows it to slowly leak down instead of a blast of air at full pressure.

I put mine on a switch that I also use to control an electric solenoid to turn on the air shutoff to the tank. So when I want to use the compressor I hit the switch, it open the drain and opens the air line from the tank. I just have my drain just going to the floor, the amount of water that...

Just wire into 120 to energize it. They come normally open and normally closed so for this application you would need a NC Look on ebay for ASCO valves, check for the correct max pressure, voltage, NC or NO and the NPT size you need. I got my $600 valve off ebay for $10 brand new.

I have one off ebay too, paid like $45, since my compressor is in my attic I needed it. I also got a 3/4" electric solenoid valve for the airlines right at the tank. Both are hooked up to a switch at ground level, when I need air I turn the switch on, it opens the valve and the drain. Shut it...

I use 18" hydraulic hose for that, check the pressure rating on the hose though. You should be able to find it at farm supply places with the ends already on for around $10

The kw sizes cost different, you should be able to get pricing for the size you need at Wolseley plumbing, there is one in Calgary. I am not sure what it is costing me to operate yet, I have only had it going since November.

This is the boiler I am using, http://www.conceptmfginc.com/ I have 960 sqft, 3 zones and I am using an 8 kw boiler to heat it. It has kept up well in the -40F temps we have had here recently. I keep it at 70F 24/7

I have the same setup as you, I took 2 2x6's and nailed them together then layed them upright on the trusses and nailed them there. I welded up a bracket to slip over the 2x6's to hook up a chain hoiost to. Works good, just try and span as many trusses as you can. I lifted an 80 gallon 2...

Check out auctions in your area for used resturant equipment, you should be able to pick up a stainless prep table for $50-$200 I got mine, about 6 feet long, stainless top wrapped over 1 1/2" solid block of wood for $75

If you are prewiring it would be a good idea to run the speaker wires back to a volume control at a convient spot on the wall, then from there run them back to where your amp would be, also run a cat5 wire from the volume control to the amp, this could be used for an A-bus control setup or for...

My first winter too, its been working good so far until today, it is running about 3 degrees behind having trouble keeping up with the -36F this morning.
