I’ve recently brought these boxes home. My brother bought them both new, and when he traded them in they were purchased back by my mom and given to me as my first box and I’m now handing them down to my oldest son. They’ve been in my dad’s garage for a few years and condensation got to them...

I’ve looked, joined Facebook pages, watched videos and can’t find anything so I’m trying here too. Bought this 2016 tahoe. The rear has air suspension, the front does not. The bags on the rear are flat. The compressor is working and pumping. We tried plugging into it with a scan tool and all...

So I’m getting frustrated with hvac reps and was wondering if installing a boiler for my radiant floor is something I can accomplish myself. My shop 48x100x16’ ceilings, I have 12 loops in my floor 5/8” tubing with one manifold, single zone. I was considering a combi boiler but don’t think I’m...

My KRL1033 isn’t level, has anyone ran into this? It’s tipped towards the wall so leaning back. I though it was the floor so I checked everything else around it and it’s all level. Even my pallet racking. I’d say front to back is probably 1/2” difference. I measured from the floor to the bottom...

My shop has poured 12” walls. I noticed when I moved some stuff I had a damp corner wall. Not to bad. It was rising about 6” above the floor which is about 14” above the footer. My south wall is 5’ below grade cause the building is built into a hillside. We put french drains around the footer so...

This is a stain that was put down for me as a sample. It’s charcoal/black in color and I personally think it’s to dark. I’d like opinions. Idea is to try to hide as much **** as possible and keep my floor as nice as possible from salts, grease, oils tire tracks and so on. NO epoxy isn’t an...

I recently had a PPG rep at my shop to talk epoxy. He saw I had one of my relief cuts filled and mentioned that I shouldn’t do that. The cut was filled with a 2 part Euclid chemical material. He said if I fill the crack then the floor will crack elsewhere and become a mess. Any truth to this...

I just finished my rapid air system and I’m putting a Wye (y) fitting at each manifold. I want a 1/2” quick coupler on one side and either 1/4 or 3/8 on the other, I’m running 2 separate size hoses at times. I’m running standard air tools, the big hose is for my 3/4 impact and 1” (if I ever get...

Did a search and came up with nothing recent. My old shop had maxline rapid air system. I installed it 5 years ago. Is it still the best option? I'm seeing guys using pex, but I'm concerned it won't hold the 180psi. Copper maybe an option, but pricey. Any other suggestions for shop air? I'm...

I didn't notice all this til last night when the floor was wet and headlights hit it. It looks like Ray Charles and Hellen Keller finished it. The floor is an absolute washboard. The floor is 20 ish days old, not sealed yet. Can I rent a sander or buffer and correct any of this? I haven't met...

I think we made an error in pouring my slab. It's a poured foundation, 8" slab 4500 psi rebar reinforced slab. When we poured it the slab didn't pour all the way down to rest on the foundation wall. I now have this void undery slab. It's a couple inches tall, and only across the 14' door...

The wife and I sold our 40x100 last year and I've been renting half of it for 10.5 months. Our new shop has to be done before a year is up due to the purchase agreement agreement. So the old shop was a steel frame building. The new building is bigger at 48x100, stud frame style concrete poured...

My wife and I just moved our shed to our new house. The land is very uneven where we placed it. I'm wanting to use columns and sonotubes to level it. The shed is 8x22, it sits on 2 treated 4x6 runners that are solid from one end to the other. I'm think of doing 3-4 6" columns under each runner...

The house that my wife and I bought has a 2 car attached garage. When we bought the house we never thought to measure it, here we find it is a 24x20 garage. My truck and my wife's truck won't fit inside it. I'd like to put a 4-6' addition on it and go from a double door to a single 18' door. I...

I bought these high flow couplers direct from Milton, I've had a boat load of issues and Milton will not warranty any of them. I've tried everything under the sun, uncouple them gently, hard, slow, fast, like a good adult flick!! And every once in a while it blows the o-ring out. I take it apart...

Selling a fine piece of furniture tonight. We bought this lista bench when we built our shop. As you can see it has become a collector of fine junk. This hot piece of fine sexiness is sturdy as sturdy gets, you could do anything upon this, rebuild an engine, draw pictures, do architectural work...

So my wife and I have decided to build a new house. I'm acting as my own general contractor on the build, and before anyone knocks me on that, I tried to hire a builder. I called numerous builders, presented my idea and only heard back from 1, numerous follow up calls to several and still...

I have a work bench that is 4' x 10'. It's an old frame bench. I need it on casters so I don't have to dedicate a spot to it. I recently bought these casters from eBay. Now I'll admit, I'm no caster genius. They seemed heavy duty. I installed them tonight and damn it. It's takes everything I got...

I need to torque the bull gear assembly in the front of my Detroit engine. The issue is that I don't have a torque wrench that goes that high. My torque wrench goes to 600 lb ft. I need to torque this nut to 750 lb ft in a counter clockwise method. So other then a very expensive torque...

Fast forward to post 37!!
