    Question on quick disconnect fittings

    I am just getting my air compressor set up, have my air lines run and am connecting my air filter/regulator. I purchased a Devilbiss HVLP spray gun and one of my first projects will be painting my motorcycle. I noticed that with the spray gun came the warning to purchase "high flow" fittings...

    The Mechanically Declined.....

    My Dad was a truck driver and one morning one of the tractors wouldn't start in the yard. The boss told my Dad to hook up a chain to the dead tractor and give the guy a pull to start the tractor. He hooked up the chain, pulled the tractor over to the access road and was ready to make a right...

    Thanks for all the info. I will call around and find out the minimum amount for delivery. I will also check and see if there are small batch concrete trucks for my area (NW suburb of Chicago). If you have an article on bumping out the garage, I would definitely be interested. Sounds like...

    Compressor piping

    Adding a sub-panel - wire question

    The garage is attached. I do not currently have any conduit, code here does not call for it. If I was to use copper cable would it be 2-2-2-4? I would have a 75' to 80' foot run with 100A sub-panel.

    Adding a sub-panel - wire question

    New to the forum, planning to add a compressor to my garage. Researched adding a sub-panel and feel relatively comfortable, having done some wiring before. What I don't know is how to figure what size wire to run from the main panel to the sub-panel in the garage. Basically one end of the...
