That's not a half bad idea either buddyboy. I contacted MuteX and one of the things they suggested to help with the lower frequency sound waves from the compressor was heavy sheets of rubber (essentially mass, as you have suggested) on the walls. I think I have a few extra sheets of drywall...

OK, I thought so but wasn't sure. Thanks for the confirmation. It is an oilless and it's fairly loud (subjective I suppose). It will have plenty of "breathing room" under my stairs... it isn't air tight and there is a decent volume of air in there. Secondly, it is very rare that I am doing...

Yeah, I just came across a few threads the other day where people had mentioned add-on mufflers for compressors. I have yet to do any research into that. That sounds like something that would be more suited to larger commercial grade compressors compared to my 30 gal Craftsman but maybe I am...

Thanks Falcon. Looks like I can find this at one of our local Home Depots so I may just have to go check it out. It might be easier to install this than the roll of MuteX. Or I could always use both products together I suppose. I just don't think I need to get that crazy with it. I'm just...

I have a space under my stairs in the garage (24x36x12) where my compressor is going. I've closed in this area but also want to add some type of sound insulation to the walls, back of the access door, and underneath side of the stairs. I don't expect it to be silent by any means and I also...

I never really got the floor wet when it was just the epoxy but based on slickness even with the topcoat and friction modifier and on a previous epoxy floor I had before this house with some areas without good friction additive coverage, I would say it will be pretty slick. If you're going to...

Both breakers I have been referring to are Type BR Eaton GFTCB120CS models. They are ground fault breakers.

That is still very strange to me. But glad you got it figured out... or at least how to get around it.

Well I got home a little early from work today and decided I wanted to at least swap two breakers around real quick and see the results. Now I'm more confused, lol. Actually I guess I am "happy" because everything seems to be working fine now. But I still would like some input because I want...

Thanks for the input guys. As a couple of you suggested, my first plan of action was going to be swapping circuit breakers and see if the problem repeats itself (on either of the swapped circuits). And thanks for the heads up on what you experienced EOC_Jason. That sounds very weird but I...

The first alternative outlet I plugged the saw into was on the same circuit, and it popped again. But to be clear neither of these outlets were GFCI themselves... the breaker for this circuit is a GFCI breaker. The second alternative outlet I tried was on another circuit and yes, it was also...

I'll try and make this short and sweet but if you need more info ask away. For the record I am not an electrician, obviously, but have done enough wiring to be comfortable. Recently finished all electrical in my garage. Up and running for 2 - 3 months. I plug in my circular saw last weekend...

Sorry I didn't see this question until 5 months later!!! You may not care any more but for future readers of this post... I don't remember exactly what the temps were but I know I felt it might be the last opportunity before the summer heat and humidity rolled in to do it. I think AP...

So this past week I was able to put a good dent in some of the smaller items left on my to-do list. I finished installing all my upstairs lights. I got my speaker mounts up and the speakers installed. And I got two of my four windows trimmed out today. None of these items are very exciting...

Yeah, they definitely aren't cheap. Then again not too long ago I think they ran upwards of $150k! We started needing/wanting to use it more and more often and found ourselves having the scan work sub-contracted out and it just became cost-effective enough for us to purchase one of our own...

Yeah, since I had access to it I figured I might as well take advantage of it, even if I never use it. However I've already pulled the scan up at least once since drywall has been up because I was trying to figure out how a couple things came together in a corner.

Today I added some Westinghouse fans to go along with my lights. I love the ways these bad boys look and they move a lot of air. And for less than $70 each they are hard to beat for the money. The only thing I "upgraded" was the controller because as you'll see below the one that comes with...

Well it's good to see a fellow SVTP'er over here too. I imagine there are others as well.

Well that ***** to hear about your Mach. I've got a buddy who had a Screaming Yellow '04, who sold it to a local guy, and then a year or so later randomly passed it on a flat bed all messed up. He was pretty sure it was his b/c it had some custom wheels on it but he quickly made a U-turn, and...
