I have very old 5 HP single stage 60 Gal compressor that works but thinking of upgrading to a 2 stage. This seems like a good deal. Specs don't list the pump RPM tho. Might run to the local store and see if there is more info on the unit. What do you guys think? Anyone have one...

I have had this threaded fitting apart at least three times. First time I used tape and the next couple times pipe dope. Is it OK to use something like RTV sealant on it or do I have to unsolder the adapter and solder on a new one? I have a tube of Permatex ultra gold I was going to try. I...

I am hoping maybe one of the experienced heater guys here can tell me if there is somewhere to buy old boiler parts. I have a 1950's Boiler that has a Detroit V-575 gas valve. It's the valve or parts for it that I am looking for. I know it's a long shot. Thought maybe someone somewhere has a...

I am getting the garage wired next weekend and have do decide how I want my exterior lights. My first thought was 6" recessed cans with floods. One over each door and one over the man door. This would be clean and modern. The electrician said they attract bugs and bees like to build nests in...

Not mine. I just saw it and thought I would post it up. Might be a deal for someone. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/for/1356430826.html

I have a long blacktop driveway. It is old and has some cracks. This is the first time I will be coating it. The box stores seem to have three different levels of sealer. I don't want to just assume the most expensive is the best one to use. Any tips on what to look for and what to avoid...

I was going to add this to the Pex-Al thread, but its not really related because I went with the Pex-b. So anyway I wanted four loops in inverted spirals and neither Blueridge nor Loopcad can easily do this so I just drew it up on graph paper. I had my 6" mesh down so I counted how many I had...

I have a garage roof / patio that I want to seal. I am more interested in getting it water tight than it's appearance. There is a small hairline crack that I am most concerned about. Last winter I noticed a few water drops inside the garage and I want to stop this before it becomes a large...

If you used Pex-Aluminum-Pex instead of Pex-A, Pex-B, or Pex-C, can you tell me some reasons you went that way. What are some of the positives and negatives? Would you use it again? I am leaning toward it for the following reasons: Easy to work with, from what I've read it stays where you put...

This is not mine, but I thought maybe someone might be interested. Sounds like you could get it cheap. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/for/737649863.html

I guess I never actually said hello over here. I just jumped in and started asking questions. So.........HELLO! BTW, I am going to change my avatar( I just saw someone else already has my old one). This will be the new one. Sold it a few years back to buy a house. Oh well. John from SW PA

Here's the deal. I want to settle the insulation under slab debate once and for all.(in my mind at least). I started the experiment today. Sort of Myth Busters style. I will post all the details, results and some photos after I'm done. Basically I set up a test bed, filled with sand, and place a...

Just found this on photobucket while doing a search for garage! http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h267/FMTopFan/garage.jpg

Need to order the doors next for my new garage. They are going to be 10wx11h. I am looking for good quality and good r-value. I'd like to hear your recommendations. Thanks in advance John

Has anyone on here used these? Are they any good? I found them for the best price($24.99) at this website. www.autobodytoolmart.com Blackhawk ones are like $45. Thanks John

Kinda new here. Great forum. I've gotten a lot of good ideas for my build already. I posted in another thread that I would try to load some pictures, so here goes.... ( I just learned not to hit the back button after you preview your post--- Had to retype everything.) Anyway, its going to be...

Ok guys, I have looked at alot of threads about radiant floor heat, and i need to decide in the next month or so if i'm going to spend the money on the insulation, pex etc.- for the slab. Some backround-- The garage is detached- 28x35 12' ceiling-4' block dug into bank w/ 8' 2x6 walls on top...
