I'm finished sweeping. It puts all the dust in the air, then settles in another place. Way to much stuff in my building and everything is constantly getting covered in dust. I'm exploring vacuum options. Something that helps get up all the oil stains and drips would be nice. What is your...

I have few things I need to spray, and it's to cold to do outside. I was thinking of buying an HVLP gun but I don't have much experince with one. I have an exhaust fan which is probably about the equivelenat of a box fan in a window. My ceiling are 12 foot. Am I going to have overspray all...

I'm looking to upgrade my convenional spray gun to HVLP. Main goal is to cut down on overspray. I probably only do an hour or two worth of painting a year. Anyone recommend a setup? I have a 5 HP compressor, 11 cfm or something @ 90 PSI. I'm a little confused as to what is better. Using...

I'm currently using a snap on 8810 (newest 3/8 drive). I have less than a year on it and haven't used it very much. It won't break a nut loose tightened down to 75' lbs of torque. I'm thinking of just moving up to 1/2" drive. Rural King has a 1/2" milwaukee for $199 this black Friday. It comes...

I'm not sure if this had been discussed but I just discovered a little trick to get better deals on Menards stuff. Turns out their stores are divided into "Northern" and "Southern" zones. I'm not sure if there are other "zones" or "markets". The zones price items differently. It's not just...

I'm having a time on deciding which T8 fixtures to buy. I'm going to need approx 30 four foot fixtures or 15 8 footers. Are these any good? http://www.menards.com/main/lighting-fans/indoor-lights/fluorescent/2-light-48-white-high-performance-fluorescent-plug-in-shoplight/p-1385009-c-7242.htm...

I need to figure out how much juice my shop pulls for accounting purposes. I was looking at one of these: http://www.simpleenergyworks.com/envi_energy_monitor.html Anyone have experience with one or can recommend a cheaper unit?

I just got back from an adventure at lowes. I found these windows, they were "low E", energy star rated, and only a hundred bucks each. The person working the floor didn't know how to install. He asked someone and he it was determined threw the grapevine that you use the tape to flash them...

I'm kicking around on doing in floor heating on a new structure. It's a pole barn. Say 1440 square feet building (30x48). Do it yourself installation-only thing is materials. I'm in southern IL if that matters.

I'm trying to work out the interior or my pole barn that is coming in a few weeks. I found some foil faced poly ISO on craigslist for $5 a sheet. It's one inch thick. My building is 30x48x12 on 8' centers. It should be easy to install in between the posts and wouldn't have to even do any(or...

I'm having a 30 x 48 x 12 built and trying to figure out what kind of lighting to put in it. It's primary purpose will be a mechanical garage. I plan on putting up a light gray colored metal ceiling. Hopefully it won't darken the place up to much. I'm afraid of white because engine's will be...

I've been lurking and reading about pro's and cons and trying to visualize something. I'm getting ready to have a 30x40x12 barn built. I plan on insulating it but not right at the moment. I first liked produx but after reading up on it deceied it's not quite the cat's meow the mfg claims it...

Looking to get a barn built and plan on insualting it myself. Trying to figure out a good truss spacing. Is 5' to far apart to span metal with no hangers? I plan on blowing fiberglass or cellulose on top of it, most likely fiber if it isn't to expensive.

Should I expect 40% off current prices or do they inflate them before the sale? I've been eyeballing an impact wrench kit and it is currently $299 from them- about $250 elsewhere online. Do they jack up the prices for the sale or is it safe to start my wish list?

Looking to buy a M18 Fuel 3/8 impact 2654-22CT Lowest I can find them is $259 online. I guess that is the MAP. Looking for 20% off or something to sweeten it up a bit. I found some Northern coupons for $50 off of $250 but they were expired...

Real world-not on paper. I have a 4410 was thinking of switching to the m18 fuel with the compact batteries. Upgrade or downgrade? My biggest ***** with the 4410 is the weight. Which one has more power?

I've been looking to invest in a quality set of drill bits. Found these: http://store.harryepstein.com/cp/DrillBitSets/SPM-29.html Then I searched Ebay for the Norseman part number SPM-29 and it pulled up another set, USA made, different brand. Which is better...

I'd like to learn more about this machine but it seems the operation of it is shroweded in mystery. If anyone has the instrucations DVD or manual I would be interested in rent/buy/or borrow whatever is cheapest. Also looking for the drill sharpening attachment and grinding wheels.
