    Thoughts on this used IR compressor.

    Been looking for a used 60 gallon compressor of descent quality without breaking the bank and come across this one on Craigslist. It appears to be a two stage and the ad says it is a single phase and has a Baldor motor. I was hoping to stay away from some of the newer IR problems that seem to...

    Need help selecting stereo receiver, impedance??

    So I bought my house a couple years ago which was built in 05. The original owner when the house was build put 8 stereo speakers in four different areas so the living room, kitchen, hallway and master bedroom each have two ceiling speakers. The speakers were never wired to a receiver so now...

    American made 2 post

    Looks like there is a distribution point in IN were you could pick it up for a $100 handling fee. Seems like a good price but their shipping is outrageous, the 10k one I put in my cart was like $2300 for shipping???

    School me on Ethernet splitting

    Excellent, thanks for taking the time to write this up! You are right, as it stands now my phone will pick up my house internet from 250' away, I just cant do anything with it. I will report back when my new router shows up.

    School me on Ethernet splitting

    Ok, this is what I'm doing. I found a good deal on a Linksys EA3500 router so I'm ordering it for the house and then going to put my old Linksys WRT54g in the barn. Going to keep it simple and mount the router somewhere near the workbench which will allow me to make a direct connection if...

    School me on Ethernet splitting

    Thanks for all the input fellas! When I first posted this I was strictly thinking about using something like (what I know now) a switch and having hardwired access points around the shop. Now after seeing some of the posts I think I would like to go the route of having a second router in the...

    So over the summer while running utilities out to the my new barn I also included in that 2 Cat 6e wires to be used for internet and whatever else. Now that I am in the process of running wire in the garage and would like to set up some ethernet ports around my work area for internet use. The...

    Another BTU calc question

    Not much of a reason other than I don't want to cut a hole in my metal roof, then deal with keeping it sealed up. Don't know why I didn't think of it earlier but I can run the vent just a little bit further and hit my gable wall so I should be ok.

    Exemption to zoning laws?

    I went through this and the best thing you can do is personally go through the zoning ordinance and verify it is correct plus look for footnotes/sidenote ie loop holes. I have a good size chunk of property but it is residential zoning (r-1) which limited me to 860sqft. I found a asterisk next...

    Opinions on garage hot water heater

    Re: Opinions on garage htt water heater Thanks for the replies, looks like a short electric tank tank it is. The on demand is very tempting but I haven't talked to many people who claim it works as advertised without having a very over sized unit. I like the idea of putting it on a timer as...

    Another BTU calc question

    Like others have said I only plan to work in the garage occasionally so I think I'll go with the 100k btu and have it heat up more rapidly. My last garage was the same size but with only a 10ft ceiling and I used an 80k btu home furnace which seemed to work just about right. I have a...

    Opinions on garage hot water heater

    Looking for opinions on the best options for hot water in my new pole building. The heater will only be used to heat water to a deep basin wash sink and possibly hose off a vehicle for washing. My water line gets blown out in the winter so this would only be used in the summer and have to be...

    Interior OSB installed wrong

    Leave the rough side out. On my last barn I did some paint tests on both the smooth and rough sides with the rough side winning out. The smooth side tended to lift more and the wood chips were more noticeable through the paint as well. You pretty much have to do 3 coats, like others have said...

    Another BTU calc question

    Thanks for taking to time to post this, I will save it for future reference. I just plugged all my numbers in and I cant believe how much of a heat sink my uninsulated floor is. Looks like 100,000 btu would work just about right.
