    Air compressor harline CFM loss advice please

    Throwing it out here you might want to consider running it up high on the wall instead of in the ceiling. It makes adding a drop somewhere take a few minutes with pex. Also as someone else said expansion pex fittings have a much larger ID. I ran a 3/4 ring around my shop and when I need air...

    Bolt storage

    14 drawer vidmar cabinet for me. I use the drawer dividers for larger hardware and bins in the drawers for small stuff. It's amazing how much you can fit in one of those.

    Same experience. Have a cheap set that I bought years ago in a generic grey plastic case. Work great.

    How many people care about unpermitted electrical?

    I'm betting there is a lot more to the story in those 2-3 times than simply having unpermitted electrical work. Half of America must have unpermitted electrical work to some degree in their homes.

    No you won't. You are insured against your own stupidity and incompetence but not malice.

    Two post lift concrete mistake

    The fact that other companies such as rotary don't specify rebar combined with bendpak also specifies 3/4" rebar under a frikin 6k movable scissor lift in that document makes me think someone f'ed up when making it. I would attach it to the concrete you ave and not loose any sleep.

    I just finished building a 13x11ish in the corner of mine. Used 5ft deep pallet rack with a gap between to clear a sub panel, 13' wide beams (they had 14' beams too but the 13's were real cheap), put on grates and screwed down 3/4 osb subfloor. it is completely free standing, went up super...

    I'm almost scared to ask a lift question

    You could look for used also. My 10k rotary was 2500. Like new, used residentially and came with both unibody and truck spin up adapters. I had to take it down but it only took a couple of hours with 2 friends and a ladder but it made it easier to reinstall.

    Terminating low voltage Network cables, tools and connectors ??

    That patch panel is fine. I have used hundreds of cable matters keystone and never had a bad one. The punch down tool will also likely be fine. For a one off install you could also use the basic tool that will likely come with that patch panel and a pair of nippers to trim the ends for a one...

    4" Concrete 2-post lift install thoughts?

    We have a couple of onsite mix companies around here and I bet a lot of other places do also. They have a 2 yard minimum I think, perfect for this kind of stuff.

    Mig welding, gas shielding or flux?

    I would skip the flux core only welders and get something at least capable of using shield gas. Some of the newer inverter welders are multi process - they do flux core, mig, stick and basic tig.

    Used lift advice

    You are going to have to find out how high the ceiling is and thickness of the concrete. If you have enough of both I would suggest trying to find a used lift used by a homeowner. My rotary I bought was practically new.

    Insulation Ideas

    Agree with everyone else - the bubble insulation is a waste of time. I would put fiberglass bats in the wall and blow in the ceiling.

    Concrete is coming but so is the cold

    You guys that are quoting my comments realize that they are from November 2021, right? I think the pad mostly cured in the last 25 months or so.

    Insulation solution for my 48 x 30 x 12 garage

    Exactly what I did. Fiberglass in the walls, plywood on walls, 5/8 sheetrock on ceiling, blown in ceiling. Spray foam is nice but 2k vs 20k and the 18k difference buys a lot of energy.

    What’s the best insulation to put in a barn with 6x6 posts?

    I ran 2x4's 24" on center horizontal and then fiberglass bats. Gave me something to attach the walls to.

    Yeah, another lift thread. Best lift for a truck?

    I have a rotary 10k lift and have had a newer crew cab duramax on there several times without issue. Screw jacks front and rear to stabilize are a must but that is true for all pickups and longer vehicles.

    Torn between main door options on a 30x50 (two smaller vs one huge)

    I went with an 18' on mine. Easy to pull stuff in and out and leaves 6ft of wall space on each side of the door for stuff.

    Propane tank size for kitchen stove (2 person, 95% cooking)

    Out last house had a 100lb tank that they came to fill but it was annoyingly expensive. New house I bought 2 tanks and in the last couple of years I have been given a couple more that I take to be filled. A tank lasts us about 4-5 months with 2 stoves and a gas dryer. Busy kids so the dryer is...

    Best way to run EV charging cable through exterior stucco wall?

    Personally I would just mount the charger outside as long as it is rated for it. There are a whole lot of chargers that live outdoors with no issue.
