I know this topic has been beaten up a bit, but I am looking for the proper way to insulate my garage ceiling once my new roof is on. The trusses are scissor type so they are on an angle and high enough that sheet rock will not be a fun project. I was thinking about spray foam, but I am...

That is what I have came to the conclusion of, plus as an added benifit I will gain a foot or so of ceiling height, should be around 13' to the ceiling when complete, this will give me enough heigth to put in a lift eventually.

Well we got started on this project and decided to remove the whole roof and start over, so now the fun begins!

Well I got started on the new roof for my 26' X 42 building, I purchased scissor trusses with the intent of building a new roof over the existing roof, but after removing the facia, drip edging etc... I have decided to remove the old trusses and replace them with the new scissor's. I will...

I agree, I operate 3 large industrial Quincy screw compressors and have never had anything but good experiences with the company as well as their local distributor. Always been quick about repairs and do anything that is needed when there are problems with them.

Sounds like a good project, will you have a way to make up water if it is lost? Well water contains magnesium and calcuim which percipitates out of the water and causes scaling on the boiler tubes if the temperture is high enough. But in a heating system you should never reach a high enough...

Absintheisfun, yes where your panel is in a detached building I would put in the ground bar and a grounding rod for the building, then run the 2 hot's and the neutral from the main distribution panel.

The two neutral bars are bonded together but not to ground, in order to bond to ground you would loosen the green screw and put the end into the neutral bar and secure. Now all is bonded.

After thinking about this for a while, I would set up the electric water heater so that your if your water temerature gets to low that it will turn on, also have a flow switch in the controls so that you dont freeze the water in your floor if the fire goes out or the pump stops. The other...

In the drawers you can keep the small packages of dessicant that you find when you purchase electronics, this will also protect your tools.

I have these cutters http://www.greenlee.com/products/CUTTER-KIT%2540c-HOLE%2540dCARBIDE.html?product_id=15434, I have used greenlee tools forever never had a problem with them.

It sounds like it will work, I would see what the pressure rating is on the wood fired vessel and size a safety relief valve with the correct capacity for the vessel. Unlike a gas fired boiler you will not be able to reduce the amount of heat once you reach operating pressure.

The knockout punch will be a much cleaner hole but you have to have access to both side to use it.

Depends on what you definition of cheap is: I normally use these http://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/Power_Products_(Electrical)/DC_Power_Supplies/24VDC,_DIN_Rail_Mount_(RHINO_PS,_PSB,_PSC,_PSM,_PSP_Series)/PSP24-240S or the models from Allen Bradley or Sola

I think most of the stupid building code **** is there for one reason! More taxes!!! It's not the county or the town that is paying the mortgage on the property!! Who in the hell are they to tell me what I can do on my property!

The element won't run cooler, it is a resistive load, it will take longer to get to temperture and won't catch up as fast as if it is designed for a 208 circuit. Depending on the controller though I would bet that it will work at either voltage, if it is designed for 208 and wired to 240 you...

240 volt to the heating elements will not make the oven run hotter! It will increase the speed at which the element get hot. If the unit has decent temperature controller once the oven reaches set point the power will be reduced or turned off to the heating elements.

these are what I'm talking about not sure why they call them bolt on http://www.craftsman.com/shc/s/dap_10155_12602_DAP_Bolt+On

Has anyone tried the new Craftman bolt on series of tools? What is the general feeling toward them?

We use a guide all the time, we have 2 of these in the shop, very useful http://www.shars.com/products/view/4433/EZ_Tapper
