I bought used Atlas PV-10PX a while back and one cylinder is leaking, slowly but leaking. I'd like to put new seals in both sides since it's going on 8 years old. Greg Smith folks aren't answering me at the number on the contact page. Does anyone here know how to identify what seals I'll need...

I need to replace the gloves on my blast cabinet so I bought some gloves off of amazon that are supposedly XXL and I can't get my hands through the wrist opening..... Any have a good source for blast gloves for large hands that aren't sized for a "normal" wrist?

Someone, I won't say who :wtf:, used my mightyvac to flush brake fluid and at one point, but the cap for the resivoir on backwards and sucked brake fluid into the tool. The main part comes apart easily enough and I've cleaned it out, but I'm not sure what to do about the gauge itself. If I just...

As the title says, I'm looking for a source for replacement ballast covers. I only need 1, and it looks like this. Anyone know where to get them?

Started digging a trench for power to my barn, thinking I was well and clear from the drain field, when we ran into some rock we didn't expect. We stopped immediately just in case and I double checked with the county. Previously they said to contact the installer who is an OS2 level septic guy...

My pole barn supplier sent me 42 lbs of loose 16D hot dipped ring shank nails when collated were specified. I was told I could go ahead and buy some locally and they'd reimburse me the cost. Fair enough but no one locally (that I can find yet) , carries, 3.5" hot dipped 21 deg ring shank plastic...

My pole barn kit supplier mistakenly sent loose nails for my barn when I'd specified nails for my nail gun (Bostitch F21PL v1). In good form, they are offering to make it right by having me buy them locally and they will reimburse me. They are supposed to be 3-1/2 hot dipped, ring shank and as...

Good morning everyone, It's been a while since I've been here. No reason to come around since nothing has happened with my barn other than it is still laying on the pallets it was delivered on, next to a pad that isn't done. Some of this is me venting, some of it will get me beat up for being...

Hey folks, with my building kit on the way, I've been looking around at options for keeping the heat out during the summer months here in TX. Looking at the various options, I see spray foam a LOT. In and of itself sounds great, but obviously expensive. I read one post where someone raised the...

Our home has an outdoor fireplace the previous owner installed that uses a fireplace insert instead of a fire box constructed of fire brick. The refractory in the rear of the unit basically crumbled as soon as I looked at and needs replacing. My problem then has become, do I replace the...

I'm in the middle of finalizing things before my pole barn kit purchase and one of the items on my check list is getting the site prepped. So far the best price I've gotten for digging the holes (24 18" holes, 48" deep) is just $1,150 or just under $50 per hole. Now, that doesn't include...

I saw another thread on entry doors but instead of hijacking it, I thought I'd start another. It got me thinking about doors that are to be part of my kit order. I am not sure exactly what doors are part of the kit but I've asked so hopefully I will find out shortly. I do know it's labeled...

Good morning everyone, hopefully you've all had your coffee and are ready to today's question from me regarding my upcoming pole barn/shop build. Turns out adding scissor trusses for my building is a whopping $261 over the base price and so at first this seemed like a no-brainer. Then I...

As I get closer to starting my building, it has been brought to my attention that 12' tall doors, in a 14' building won't work. Doing the math, I can see the problem when fill and concrete is added, taking truss bottom chord away, I'll end up with less than a foot of clearance between the top of...

Going through my list of vendors for a kit and don't really see much about these folks. Kit seems like a good deal and i am getting a small discount which is nice. Anyone have any experience with them and/or build threads?

Folks many of you will recognize me as the guy posting all sorts of questions related to building my own shop over the last few weeks. Instead of cluttering existing threads further, i thought I'd just start a new one. I am almost ready to pull the trigger on my building, leaning towards doing...

As I get closer to finalizing my plans on a pole building for use as an auto shop, I need to decide how I am going to layout the various items inside. Although I am still undecided between a 36x48 and a 30x40, w/14 feet eaves in either case to accommodate a lift (12'-1" min), based on budget...

It seems, after looking through all the build threads I could, I've come to the conclusion that site prep is not an exact science. Either that, or it's so complicated that only the initiated few are privy to all the dark secrets that surround the subject and nothing short of a room full of robe...

I'm getting ready to build a pole building (shop) and at the stage of getting quotes for having the holes dug. I don't have and tractor and I'm having trouble finding some place to rent an auger with something to mount it to around here. btw, "here" is Castroville TX, of that helps. If I could...

I am getting ready to build a post and frame shop soon but before I start drilling holes for the poles I need to figure exactly where to put the thing. My property is 188'x350' with a 10' "utility,postal,drainage' easement around the entire perimeter. I just got off the phone with the city...
