    Quincy 325 Compressor Oil Leak

    Parts book shows part # 7 (3/8-16 x3/4") torque at 30 ft.-lbs. I would try loosening all 4, then retorquing them in a diagonal pattern (10:00-4:00-8:00-2:00) and see if that cures the leak. If not, use a thin sealant like 'GASKET CINCH' between all shims after cleaning them of any oil.

    Quincy 210 oil leak

    That *****. It must have been a tough piece of rust that held on at 250 psi! Better you found out now!

    Thanks to OldMachineNut & MacMcMacmac for sharing their knowledge regarding the OLD Quincy's being splash lubed. I learn something new here daily!

    Binks air compressor

    Well Hank, I checked Quincy's literature library again and the oldest ROC for the 212 is still ROC 25, so it appears they haven't found any additional info for the ROC 17. On the later ROC model, the oil pump is located where your hydraulic unloader is and the unloader is around the corner on...

    Quincy 325 Air compressor plumbing and electrical help

    Sorry to hear this. You seemed so pumped (no joke) when you scored that gem. I hate to say it, but unless you find a buyer that knows QR series Quincy's value, you're probably not going to get what it's really worth. Being as the receiver is only 30 gallons, it's really not sized for the pump...

    Roof framing

    I believe Firebrick is correct in what he is describing. Since the new shed rear wall is inline with the existing wall, the CORRECT design is basically shifting the existing hip/ valley to the right. Being as the new shed adds overall width, the ridge will naturally be higher than it is...

    slab on grade detailing at overhead door

    I understand and being as you have standard colored concrete on both, is a non-issue. If you would have had a different color or finish on the approach, you could have still placed the expansion joint where you have it, along with adding rebar dowels mid-height of the garage slab to connect the...

    slab on grade detailing at overhead door

    Tarmy's center photo is a prime example of what I mentioned in my post #4 above. If the garage slab would have been formed to the rear side of the front wall, the concrete approach would have been continuous to the door. This is very noticeable if you have anything other than standard grey...

    slab on grade detailing at overhead door

    To add to ConCretin's post, if you're planning on colored concrete /stampcrete/ pavers etc on the ramp, stop the garage slab BEHIND the garage door stem wall. By doing so, when your door is closed, you'll have a continuous surface to the door rather than 8" +/- of plain concrete butting your...

    Roof Design HELP!

    You're overthinking this. What you want to build is VERY, VERY common...nothing new, nothing at all complex.

    Roof Design HELP!

    Unfortunately, I'm not a CAD guy...at all, but you can get the idea in this pic. At the point where that 'broken hip' intersects with the existing ridge is the point where the opposite valley would start and terminate at the inside corner of the building offset. Hopefully the pic and my...

    Roof Design HELP!

    Your drawing over complicates it Larry. If you utilized the same roof pitch as the existing, being as the new is wider, the new ridge would be HIGHER than the existing, so the new ridge would break back down at 45° hips to match the right side pitch of the existing roof and the new front valley...

    Roof Design HELP!

    As I stated, it would be a mirror image of the photo Larry provided. Just as the hips comes off of the outside corner, the valleys come off the inside corners.

    Roof Design HELP!

    Wrenchmaster... they would meet exactly as in the photo Larry provided, except the opposite, since your new building projects out further. Trust me, your roof will not be a problem.

    Roof Design HELP!

    Good call on the above design Larry. Keeps the eve height at the same level as the existing 'eyebrow', and even though his new ridgeline will be higher than the existing, due to increased depth (assuming 28' is depth) he would just break the new ridge to a 'broken hip' which would terminate into...

    Built up Beam Carrying Truss Load

    Even not knowing the species of wood your 2X12's are, you're fine. The trusses are only carrying 25' of roof load and the 2x12's are only spanning 7.5'. Just be sure to 'crown' (sight for bow, place high side up) the 2x12's before laminating them. I would also suggest some type of column cap...
