I recently scored a deal on 2 Lista cabinets, but they are green and really could use a paint job. I already have 2 identical cabinets still in the factory Lista "classic blue" finish (in great shape), which I'd like to match. I have a 5-stage Fuji HVLP, which I have used primarily for...

Our warehouse that has dock levelers made of diamond plate steel. Whatever paint that was once on them has long since worn/rusted off. I'd like to paint/coat them a nice grey to spiff up the loading dock area, and to prevent rust stains down the concrete on the outside of the building. Any...

We recently moved into our "forever" home, and I'm starting to work on outfitting the garage. In the past 3 houses I've spent a lot of time building my own cabinets and workbenches and doing the floors and wiring it up for every conceivable tool...and then we move before I ever get to enjoy the...

I'm putting three 24k mini split heat pumps in my build rooms at my company. I have a buddy who has an a/c company and he lets me buy on his account (with his discount) at the supply houses. Both the major supply house chains in town are pushing Friedrich mini splits, and say Friedrich's...

I have been planning my mini-split install and was about to order a Pioneer 24k unit from highseer.com ("Parker Davis HVAC")...but when I went to the site this weekend it was down, and it still is down as of today. I tried calling, but got a "hold please", with no answer after 10 min, and the...

Is there much difference between pricing on "name-brand" mini split equipment pricing (Mitsubishi, Fujitsu) between wholesale supply houses and internet retailers? I know the internet retailers apply stiff markups to some accessories, but don't know what they do with the major pieces of...

A question on mini split installation: If I first pressure test a mini-split install with nitrogen, do I really need to use a micron gauge when evacuating the lines with a vacuum pump, or would simply running the vacuum pump for a few hours (and then verifying it holds -30" on a set of...

I've been looking for another Snap-on roll cab on Craigslist. A number of the ones for sale are various "custom editions", such as Harley Davidson or Dale Earnhardt editions, all featuring rather garish graphics (in my opinion). Are these graphics just stickers? Will the stickers come off...

I've recently completed a detached garage (it's about 15 ft from my house). In my house I currently have a wired "Brinks" branded alarm system (now "Broadview/ADT", which is about 7 years old. I'd like to add in the garage a: 1) sensor on the man door 2) possible sensor on the garage door...

I need to run cable on a farm 1000 feet to a small pump system. The pump draws roughly 8.5A at 120V when running. It will run approximately 10 minutes per hour, 24 hours a day. How do I determine what size cable etc to run, and what other equipment is needed? The pump's controller system is...

I just picked up a like-new Snap-on Classic 78 (KRA2411) for a mere fraction of the cost of a new one. However, one of the drawer slides on the wide 2" drawers is bent outwards and distorted. It looks like something got jammed in there and someone tried force the drawer shut. The drawer will...

I'm in the midst of a Wolverine floor project. Based on several suggestions from this board, I've been using the Wooster 1/4 nap Mohair Blend rollers. I tried both the Woooster Mohair from Lowes, and the Wooster Mohair from a paint store (packaging is different but rollers appear identical). I...

Does anyone have experience mounting the condensor for a mini split on an exterior wall bracket? We would need to mount the bottom of the bracket about 6' off the ground - it would be linked to the indoor units in the second floor garage apt. The garage apt is ~70 yrs old and has 1" thick wood...

I am getting ready to do my 625 sq ft garage with Wolverine products. The slab is now 6 months old with zero defects. I'll go ahead and say it...I am not a fan of the look of flakes in epoxy floors and would prefer just to have a solid, light grey coating. Almost everyone here does go the...

I understand that #3 copper is sufficient for the feed cable to a 100A subpanel. Does going to #2 copper buy you anything, i.e. what is the max current rating for #2? I'm just trying to think of all possible future upgrades I might want to do. Currently the house has a 200A main panel.

For the roofed carport (no walls) area in front of my garage, I plan to add recessed can lights to the ceiling. My neighbor gave me a bunch of Halo 27ICFT 6" incandescent cans left over from his home construction. For the lenses for these lights, do I have to get wet location rated...

I'm looking at mini-splits and can't seem to get an answer on whether or not a heat pump will provide adequate (and efficient) cooling in Houston, TX in the summer, where both the average temp and average humidity are very high. I have relatives in Georgia, and they all have heat pumps for home...
