Like you, I have done a few pours. Not everyday, but enough to be comfortable with it. What you described is exactly why I hate concrete. I have had two jobs that went bad, and it had everything to do with what came off the truck in my opinion. I personally think that they were hot loads...

If you use wheeled chairs/benches/carts, etc, it’s going to wear fairly quickly in my opinion. It looks good new though. If you are not hard on things, may work for you

I live in the south, so most detached shops/barns/workshops are not that sealed up even if they are insulated relatively well by our standards. We don’t deal with the brutal cold like other parts of the country so most people seem to just live with what cold we do get. I have never noticed any...

Just got a like notification from this old post. Here’s a glamour shot of the vise. I sanded on some paint scuffs the other day. I am going to repaint it hopefully soon to match my cabinets. Excuse the mess, I am working on finishing the cabinets/organizing/decluttering.

Architects, engineers, and surveyors typically have errors and omissions insurance. If I am not mistaken, that’s what steps in if they screw up in a situation like this. Builders have general liability that covers them screwing up something existing or someone dying because of something that...

I wholeheartedly agree with llwillysfan. Pretty much exactly what I was thinking

Pro tip from a painter friend ( not by my experience), but he says that if you want a flat ceiling with no shadowing of joints, you need to skim coat whole thing. He said you really need to find a good sheet rock guy. He was telling me this as I was trying to help another friend after his...

I am in Birmingham Alabama. Roof was replaced 10ish years ago by previous owners with crappy materials. We bought house knowing that it needed replacing. I am hiring it out myself. Sub crew has insurance. I have 67-70 squares on my house garage and a little walkway. House was decked in...

Because this is garage journal and spending a fortune on tools is the only solution. I bought one of these for a huge paver job. They work pretty good, but it’s a chore to tote around with you. We prefer wet cutting just because it’s easier to move and you cut with the front part of the blade...

Then there was this that was somewhat local to me, but don’t know if the rest of y’all in other parts of the country saw it. https://www.businessinsider.com/fedex-driver-fired-dumped-packages-ravine-multiple-times-police-report-2021-12

Wow, the skill, but also, wow, the time. That’s called persistence.

Y’all need to put location and/or climate info. This is an awesome thread btw. I live in Birmingham, Alabama. Shop is 2200 sq ft. uninsulated block. Plan on putting sheet metal on ceiling and insulating ceiling and sealing all holes. Right now, the weeks with high in mid 50’s, lows in low...

I think that I saw someone say before when that video was posted that the thin wall tanks have like a 10 year design life. That tank looks way older. My commercial grade/asme horizontal tank that is probably 40-50 years old looked perfect on the outside. It got a couple of pin holes in it...

Where did y’all find the butcher block on clearance? The ones by me still want full sticker. We have 4-5 in our area. It’s crazy how one store puts something on clearance and the others don’t. Doesn’t make sense to me at all. I bought a level for like 6 dollars at one the other day and they...

I don’t like autozone. They seem like diy. I like o Reilly if you buy their best line. The lower line seems like junk. Advance is probably my go to if I am not buying oem, but again only their best line. They seem to have the best deals if you order online and pick up in store. 20 years...

What roc is your 310

I rebuilt a310 and sold one to a friend with roc 19 on both. Only parts I had made were piston/rod pins/bushings on the smaller high pressure pistons. For reference, roc 19 on the 310 is sling oiled and so old Quincy doesn’t know the year built. They estimated 1948-1950. The pin floats with...

I am by no means trying to downplay the seriousness of this situation, but I would have no problem running it up to 150 psi if you hydro tested it to 300 psi. I am of the opinion, and this is probably going to go against the grain with a lot of people on here, good asme or whatever rated tanks...

It’s worked good for me so far

Is this a serious question? I think that there is too much collecting these days and not enough using. I wish people would quit hoarding multiples that they will never use so maybe the price on some of this stuff will go down. People start collecting when they think that it’s too valuable to...
