I am in the process of setting up my home garage to work on a few motorcycle projects and am trying to select an air compressor for it. It is a detached garage and only has (1) 20 amp 120V circuit for the entire garage. We don't intend to stay in the house long enough to justify the expense...

I need some recommendations on heating and cooling my shop. It is in Northeast Ohio so it regularly drops below 0 degrees in the winter and climbs over 100 degrees in the summer. It currently has a 300,000 BTU/hr Reznor heater with a cracked heat exchanger (not emitting CO yet), so I will need...

I just purchased a 3200 sq ft building, the sales closes in 2 weeks. It was built in 1950 and used to be a machine shop. There is a layer of dirt/grease 1/8" thick over the entire floor. Before I move anything in, I plan on sweeping it up good, then power washing it with concrete cleaner /...
