    Zap vs. Liftmaster vs. ???

    Is it actually 30" long, mine will be here Tuesday but I am working on the home for it. The liftmaster instruction PDF is very lacking in information like that.

    While everyone is on the topic of compressors...

    I wouldn't worry about it, I put cushions under the feet on mine and there is nearly no vibration when I am standing under it. Just make sure you brace everything good.

    While everyone is on the topic of compressors...

    I see them hanging from the wall all the time, even big 2 stage ones. I put my compressor in the attic. Three things I would recommend if you are putting it up somewhere is -Remote switchbox to turn it off from down below -Electric valve to shut off the air flow to the air lines -Remote...

    Is there a way....??

    Check out X10.com You can control lights wirelessy with their switches, if you have an alarm system and have a contact on your garage door you may be able to control it so that when ever the door opens the light comes on, that depends on the brand of the alarm panel though. For example at the...

    radiant floor heat run w/hot water heater?

    Radiant heat doesn't run at high temps, you don't want it over about 110F which is a good thing about electric boilers, they can run at as low of a temp as you want. Gas boilers need to run hotter to burn the gas properly. At 20F air temp it took less then 2 minutes for my boiler to get up to...

    radiant floor heat run w/hot water heater?

    http://www.watts.com/pro/divisions/watersafety_flowcontrol/support/support_ETsizing.htm Here is the link for sizing your tank, you will have to calcuate the volume of your tubing, and add that to the size of your boiler or heater. For example my 950 ft of 5/8" tubing is 15 gallons plus the 2...

    radiant floor heat run w/hot water heater?

    http://www.conceptmfginc.com/ Works good so far after a couple weeks, its about 10F here tonight. The real nice thing about this unit is its size. I went with electric for the ease of installation, I would have had to run the gas line 75 feet and it would have really limited placement of...

    Garage Attic Storage...

    The hard part was to get the compressor off of the 5 ton truck, after half an hour of tryiing to figure that out we just ended up taking the pump and motor off of the tank and then take each piece off the truck. Getting it up there was pretty easy actually, the next bay has a taller ceiling so...

    Garage Attic Storage...

    How about this much weight? I spoke to the truss engineers before putting it up there and they gave a rating of how many pounds per square foot I could have, they also said that if I added blocking in between each truss and added 1 inch of floor it would increase it by a certain amount, I don't...

    radiant floor heat run w/hot water heater?

    Here is my setup that I just got going last week. I still have to add the acuators to the zone valves. You do not need a hot water make up, in fact the system is filled with 50% glycol so a water makeup won't help much. If it does leak down you can pump it up again but it shouldn't need it...

    best way to rig up a alarm

    Best bet is to spend the money and get an actual alarm system. It will be a good investment. If you just have a siren hooked up to a door switch, unless you have a way of turning off the siren before you open the door you will be setting it off each time the door is opened. Chances are your...

    How to unload air compressor

    Mine came on a 5 ton truck, with the deck 5 feet up from ground level. After trying to figure out how to get the thing off the truck (500 lbs) we ended up taking the motor and pump off the tank and carrying each piece off the truck. I was planning on taking it apart anyways to lift it into...
