    WARNING-STAR/NCI Metal Buildings

    The holes were predrilled on mine. I know because Heartland didn't put screws in most of mine. They even cut the panels down and cut out door openings with a skill saw. This threw metal shavings on the paint. The shavings rusted and burned the paint. I would go after your installer, not the...

    What buffer to buy?

    I use two different buffers/polishers. A vector rotary for the compound and machine polish. A Porter Cable DA polisher for the swirl remover, glaze, sealer, and waxes.

    oil change

    I think I was around 11 or so. Around that same time I replaced an alternator. I was all cocky thinking I can do this. Pretty straight forward.

    Husky Compressor Binding

    You say you can turn the pump over by hand with little trouble, right? Yes, the electric motor spins fine when the belt is disconnected. Does it spin then come to an abrupt stop, or with a loud noise? Just an abrupt stop when the electric motor is hooked up. No loud noise. I can hear a quiet...
