    Residential spray insulation

    Yes I have seen an all in one kit that had a box containing the 2 tanks hoses and spray gun with interchangeable hose tips. I don't remember the name but was at a local lumber yard that caters more to contractors than a big box.

    Propane hose to black pipe to hose to tank (through wall)

    I've seen easily thousands of buildings and every type of exterior I can imagine and never ever seen or heard of a black pipe being sleeved. Thats in commercial or residential. Is there really a need? I also was told by a plumber with at least 30 yrs experience that he had never seen...

    Use a shop vac with a drywall bag installed. It makes a world of difference. Just make sure to not use a shop vac without the bag, the filter will clog in minutes. Then your back where your started.

    My new almost dream shop 25x32

    The Atlas is electric and hydraulic. The electric motor operates the hydraulic pump that actually does the lifting. The compressor was purposely built off the floor to give more floor room\storage underneath it. The platform was sized for that compressor which is a typical size. The in-wall...

    Plywood wall tips

    Start at bottom place a spacer on floor in middle of sheet to balance on. Then use a level to position it perfectly. The spacer holds the weight and gives an easy balance point. Fasten when ready.

    insulating with foam board

    Vapor barrier then drywall, insulate as you can afford. It will make a huge difference and probably be more cost effective, efficient and higher R value.

    Should I fill rhino ramps with expanding foam?

    Bug and spider bombs have been reported to work great. As for the foam and ramps, sure would work fine just follow the directions and fill the void halfway and stop just before you have enough it will continue to flow/expand out the straw. After finishing a partial can unscrew straw and blow air...

    Harbor Freight Compressors

    Another option that hasn't been mentioned is purchase a smaller/lower cfm unit and watch for air tanks on CL etc to add capacity for the occasional higher demands. I bought a 25 gal porter cable new looking tank intended for a compressor build. Changed my mind and found a used IR on CL for...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT 24x30 build in progress

    Been there, my Dad has been consciously gone but physically here for 7 1/2 yrs now. I would rather be in your shoes it's easier to deal with. Don't worry though, time does heal all. Your mind will still wander at times, and you may need some time to gather yourself, but it gets easier...

    Phone or data should run perpendicular to power. Wired would be the best option, but also the most work.

    got broken into - padlocks?

    You can buy very reasonably priced CCTV systems now. I just installed an 8 camera system around my house and shop. You can mount cameras anywhere you can run Cat5e wire to and using video baluns, easily hide the DVR anywhere convenient or even locked in a safe. Or use the standard BNC and power...

    Looking seriously at Epoxy Coat - Some Q's

    Be sure to lay it down as soon as possible epoxy does have a short shelf life. If your overly concerned on the slip aspect buy some rubber backed runner type rugs for high traffic areas.

    what kind of air line couplers do you use?

    To prove a point to all the guys, buy one of each of the Milton type V then install the female on the line. Then run a current tool off it noting the power. Now switch the male fitting on the tool and try it again. You will get an immediate increase in power with the switch. It also helps some...

    Sheeting on top of collar ties to hold insulation.

    Thin sheet material spanning 3-4' or more is gonna sag very bad especially with more weight on it.You could do a regular ceiling with large attic hatches for access.

    Insulating Rafters of Hip Roof.

    Best would be spray foam the rafters. But that is a little pricey. Sorry to bear the bad news but putting in a ceiling is the best option. A few 2x4's, vapor barrier, drywall and decent insulation will make a huge difference year round. And it really doesn't cost much.

    Another lighting question and electrican cost.... lol

    My advice is multiple light banks so you turn on what you need and switched outlets so you can add or change your lighting.
