This is almost exactly what we’re going for. We’re on the fence on whether or not to do an attached garage, the space between the house and the property makes it so I can build a slightly bigger attached garage than detached, which would be nice. You’re right, and basically we are just looking...

Thanks everyone, this is a lot of great advice and info. Sounds like I need to do some research on the subdivisions guidelines, I have rudimentary CAD skills and can sketch the elevations in sketchup but I hadn’t realized how cheap plans can be so that sounds like a good option to add to the...

I searched but couldn't find my answer... I understand that this is a very beginner question but I’m curious as to how most of you went about the design of your garage/shop, did you buy plans? Did you come up with a basic outline for yourself? I ask because I am possibly moving to a new house...

Awesome, thanks!

UPDATE: Air Compressor is back up and running, thank you! First thing I did was removed the belt between the compressor and motor as suggested. This let the motor spin a little faster but not much, and it still hummed, got hot and wouldn’t turn to full power. Next I checked my amperage and...

My air compressor just hums instead of starting, it will sometimes rotate slowly but won't turn all the way over. This just started a few days ago, I replaced both the run, and start capacitor but that hasn't changed anything. I've tried spinning it up by hand and then flipping the switch on...

I will order one tonight and see if that fixes it, thank you!

I own a two year old quincy compressor Model Number: 2V41C60VC, I’m having a problem with the auto shut-off. It is supposed to shut off at 175 psi; however it will run until 200 psi at which point the pressure relief valve opens to prevent damage. Sometime at 175 psi the compressor will sputter...

I just followed your link here from steves, both builds are looking great! Nice choice on that lift! I have the same one, now I just need to get my shop looking as nice as yours!

I was in a very similar situation as you when I bought my first house; I put $20k down on a 96k house however my take home was $1240/mo. My payment was somewhere around $600/mo which included my property tax and insurance. I also had a truck and credit card payment when I bought my house so I...

I'm not too worried about the size of the compressor, it runs my DA great but at the moment it is running through a 75' 3/8 hose reel that is reducing my cfm. I usually run the DA constantly for about a half hour and the pressure won't drop below 150 psi. I guess I really won't know what it...

Good to know, I assumed I could remove the port and plug it with an outlet but I wasn't quite sure. Thanks

I’m about to run 70’ of 3/4 piping for my shop air and I have a quick question, I’ll be running a DA, Paint, and Blast cabinet, not all at once but those are my high demand tools. The compressor is a Quincy-2V41C60VC and it has a ½” outlet, does anyone know if that outlet will restrict me in...

I'm putting in a vote for copper, I'm installing 70' of 3/4 type L copper in my garage this weekend. Everyone told me it would be a lot cheaper to go with black pipe but the total cost of Black pipe vs. Type L copper at my local lowes was Black Pipe. $209.84 Type L Copper $189.76...

I'm curious about this too, from what I've been reading the line itself is inexpensive but the fitting are pricey and having someone hook it up is costly as well.I have almost the exact same setup as you with a 24x30 with 12' ceiling but I am about 75 feet from my gas line. I have a neighbor...

I'm currently building a loft in my shop as well and when I made my decision for headspace vs what size lumber to use I decided that I would spend 95% of my time under the loft so I raised it and used 2x8's for joist's and 2x10 for the ledger to be safe and this is for an 8x8 loft. This is just...

I bought a house about a year ago and it just happened to have a 24x30 shop in the backyard, anyway because I didn't build the shop I don't know what the concrete under it is like. I am looking at installing a 2 post lift and the requirements for what I'm looking at are 4" deep concrete that is...

Cool wired it up and it's working, thanks!

Thanks for all the help, I wired it up with everyone's advice and its working awesome!

I had this in the tools section but figured I'd more it here instead. I bought a Quincy 5hp 60 gallon compressor model # 2V41C60VC, I had 220 run in my garage but now I'm running into a bit of a snag hooking into the compressor. I have never worked with 220 before so I am a bit confused on...
