Tried 30% cleaning vinegar. Worked a little but dulled the clear coat on the floor. I'll try the vitamin C.

I searched but couldn't find anything quite like my problem. I had a cabinet sitting for a few years, it rusted and let behind a pretty thick crusty rust. Tried CLR and scrub brush which got a lot of off but still pretty bad. Been thru 3 rounds with the CLR. I was thinking a rust converter...

I am going to DIY my floor and plan to use the Sherwin Williams roll on Product. I forget right now the brand name, they sell two. One they keep on the floor and the other they keep in the back for professionals. I'm not exactly sure yet which product I am going to use but that's a question I...

nonewmoney, thanks for the personal input. I may even build a small wall around it. The noise level is a real selling point with me with the IR. I found plenty of info on the IR. Several people say you can run it on a 15amp circuit without issue. Probably the max the motor will draw. I...

The quicny did look good but the issue I had is that it is 19Amp and most home outlets are 15amp. The other consideration is noise and recovery time. I thought the twin cylinder would recover faster and it's quieter. I am pretty sure the Quincy us single cylinder. I've always wanted a...

I've pretty well narrowed it down to these two models and I do not want a horizontal model. Looking for highest SCFM although I don't know that the difference in these two models is enough to consider. Would like as rapid recovery as possible. Quiet as possible. The units are pretty close...

Bend-Pak 4 Post Lift and Rolling Service Jack I have a 9,000lb and 12,000lb lift. Models HD-9 and HD-12. I also have service jack model RJ-6. HD-9 includes mobile caster set. Jack includes airline kit. Currently installed in my garage. I will not uninstall nor ship. Price is cash and...

I wound up with a 3 ton conventional unit. I have about a 1000 projects planned (slight exaggeration). With my work schedule I might be in there every evening for a week then not use the space for months on end. My evenings run from about 6:30 - 10:00 with a dinner break in the middle so I...

I've got enough testimonials to go on for now. Have a guy coming this week to quote a professional install. Will post back the results. Started pulling prices on insulation today. Think the ceiling is just going to be R-30 kraft faced and walls R-13 and drywall (unfinished). It's going to...

Any kind of 1/2" foam board is fine. They make an isoline (probably not spelled correct) that is pretty rigid and has a foil face. You can get the same thing with a different type of foam, white foam, with lower R-value, more flimsy, cheaper, and much lighter. For appearance you really need...

http://www.walmart.com/ip/LDR-Nature-Mist-Two-Function-Variable-Spray-Shower-Head-520-1300C/15821943 Drill out the hole in the plastic swivel ball. You might run into one problem. I used them for YEARS. Then they changed them. As I recall they started coming with a washer that had a smaller...

Jackfre, I do have a 3.5 HP cyclone tempest from Penn State Industries. In process of installation. I will have an overhead filter as well after I get rolling and see how bad a dust issue I have. I have purchased tools with high collection capabilities. Because I use the space for other...

Fans, I don't really have a goo location for a fan. bay 1 has a 4 post lift with a side opening garage door opener. Bay 2 is going to have an air cleaner for my wood working. I guess I should have mentioned that somewhere early on. My space will be used for car maintenance, wood working and...

ket-tek, I keep hearing of situations where people are getting away with smaller units than they should. Your logic of a 24K to start makes sense. Helps my budget and would probably hold me until the hottest days of July and August. The building hits over 100 degrees on those days with the...

I have another consideration which is power consumption. My pole barn is on a separate meter which in my area when you have a second meter on the same property you have to pay commercial rate. So my power costs are higher to start with. Efficiency is a bit more of a concern with higher power...

jkeyser14, thanks for that info. Just assures me that is the right way to go. Xray mentioned he's having no issue with air movement at 24' but I'm a bit concerned since I have such a high ceiling. The ceiling was the draw back with all the installers I spoke with. The advice the mini-split...

All good advice folks. I am pretty sure I can locate a tech for the startup and final connections. Save a few bucks on the electrical and manual labor. Installation wise the unit is ideally setup on the back wall. However, 30' away on the opposite wall are two large metal garage doors that...

The more I think about this and the high quotes and push back I keep getting the more I think I might try and tackle the install of a single 15,000BTU unit myself or maybe have a tech finish the line hook up as mentioned above. See where the hot and cold spots are then add a second unit as the...

I'm in South Carolina. One installer showed up today. Saw the building studded out with no insulation and recommended a 3 ton conventional unit. I explained the insulation was yet to come and yet he still said a 3 ton unit was the way to go. He had no interest in a mini split. Conventional...

I use 2 Bend-Pak units and I'm very happy with them. I purchased them from www.asedeals.com/four_post_lifts.html about 4 years ago and I have nothing bad to say about them. I have a 7000lb and 12000lb. The 12 is much larger and I feel much safer under it when working. The 7 is fine. I had...
