Need a toolbox, and am torn between two of the SPG international models. Due to location and freight costs, costco is my best bet for getting something. 1. 75 in 15 Drawer $1399 (530 lb) 2. 73 in 21 Drawers SHD $2995 (830 lb) I am totally sold on the 73' model after seeing how well built it...

Awesome! Glad you sorted it out, thanks for posting back your findings.

I just did the same project, I feel your pain. Used 74 bags total, but the machine they gave me was junk. Had to get a third person to help out. One guy mashing the insulation into the machine (since it wouldnt self feed), another guy cutting and loading the bags, and one in the attic. I...

How exactly did you rewire the internal thermostat? Wondering if you maybe inadvertently shorted the control transformer when trying to rewire the thermostat. Can you snap a few pictures and check for a wiring diagram on the inside panel? Edit: Also assuming this is a 240v heater? Have you...

I went with a rheem tankless unit and am quite happy with it. Has been running without issue for 4 - 5 years now. I also opted to use the same model unit for my in floor heat setup in the garage. Having two identical units is nice so I can order a single spare flame sensor and ignitor and they...

Can V-Belts harden and create wear on sheaves as they age? Someone mentioned this to me and I've never heard of it before. Background: Where I work, we have 18x 25HP ariel cooler fans used to cool glycol installed outdoors. Each fan has 8 belts that are 5-6 years old and have been exposed to...

The main purpose of a P-trap is to prevent gasses from coming back up when tied into a drain system. Since you're draining the condensation on to a lawn and this isn't tied into a drain, IMO I don't see the benefit of having a P trap on this particular setup. Edit: Just reread and noticed...

Thanks. I went with the suggestion of using shipito. I have spent a long time looking thinking the same thing and trying to source a similar replacement. I think these gauges or proprietary to the product they came out of. You are most certainly correct, it is a chinese made product. I...

With regards to Jackfre's comment about length- When you have solid pipe or material in straight runs it will exhibit thermal expansion and contraction. The longer the run and type of material will impact how much length will be gained or lost because of temperature. ------- Here's the swing...

I was required to have swing joints on my risers. There are a couple different styles that are acceptable- I'll see if I can find a picture. I believe the idea behind it is if the ground settles or heaves you don't want to create pipe strain by having the riser / gas line pulling down or...

Butyl sealant is also a good choice.

Looking for an Epoxy based floor coating for my new slab. I want something that's resistive to salt, gas, coolant, brake fluid, and any other kind of automotivey liquids I can throw at it. Was leaning towards Rustoleum brand since I live in Canada and can't seem to source much else... I wanted...

Thank you. I've seen those GRK-RSS screws at the hardware store, they look pretty solid I'll give them a shot! for the 3/16" deflection you came up with, were you using 1000lb loading or 2000lb ? With regards to wall bracing; I've placed 2 rows of blocking 4' apart across the entire wall (ie...

Thank you for offering to help! Ohhh that is soo awesome. I wished I had known about this a long time ago. :bowdown: Thank you, I think this is the route I will go.

Not sure if this is the right place to make this request, if not I apologize. Months ago I ordered a 4 port stainless pex manifold for my in floor heat from 'pextubing' on ebay. When the manifold arrived I found one of the temp gauges was bent and the other one was bent and had the glass...

That's a great idea!! That would allow increased loading without the hassle of a permanent post in the middle of the garage. For the wall connection I have a large piece of 12" C channel that will be lag bolted to the wall, into the LVL. The upper lip of the c channel will be drilled and...

Thank you. I've been using http://webstructural.com/beam-designer.html to get some numbers. Yes, the beam is completely unbraced for the 24' length. As far as steel grade I can't find mention of 300W or 350W. However my invoice from the steel supply states 50 KSI / A992 which a quick google...

Just wondering if anyone can help me confirm my math for a beam I installed- the plan is to use the beam with a chain fall. I incorporated a 24' W8X31 steel beem across the span of my garage. The beam is supported by 12" doubled up LVL's spanning 48". Once the inside wall sheathing is up I...

I did an in floor heatsetup as well and was kind of bummed about not being able to anchor stuff to the floor if needed.. The concept of drilling the floor freaked me out. However, anchoring to the floor might not be completely out of the question- That is if you can get your hand on a FLIR...

In the process of rebuilding my Ingersoll Rand 232 impact gun. I've got everything cleaned up and was getting ready to repack the front end of the gun (twin hammer / anvil part) with grease but was wondering if it matters what type of grease I use? Is the IR grease just proprietary or does it...
