Remodeling

[R. J.]

The four lights that are in the center of the ceiling came from B. Js. whole sale club. https://www.maxximastyle.com/led-li...MIvon0lNb08wIViYKGCh1EuQAgEAYYAiABEgLHSfD_BwE . The six that are mounted near the two long walls came from AMAZON. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0789HRZR9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details . They was half the price of the ones from B. Js.

Thanks for the info as well as the links. I have a few areas of the house that need some extra light and my last couple lighting purchases were a bit disappointing. I am a big LED fan.

 

[R. J.]

You are welcome. Our entire house inside and out as of now has 100% LED lighting. The link for the shop lights from AMAZON I like the most. Also they are the best price.

Today for my new shed I installed on the outside wall of the compressor room a Devilbiss ($112) and a Motor Guard (FREE) water and contaminate catch units. I also ran two air hoses (FREE) and a Job Smart air hose reel ($35). Time spent about four hours. _____________________________ DEVILBISS. https://www.ebay.com/itm/391213979964 . MOTOR GUARD. https://www.ebay.com/itm/173558005329?hash=item2868dcfe51:g:KsgAAOSwahJdaOI1 . REEL. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/jobsmart-manual-hose-reel-50-ft?cm_vc=-10005 .

Today on my new shed I primed and painted the work bench area. Installed the breaker panel cover and outlet covers. Hung a paper towel holder and built the bench. Time spent about 7 hours. The work bench is 7.5 feet long and 32 inches deep. It's 30 inches from the floor.

I thought the big shelf was for the mattress

He can sleep in the recliner if there is enough room for it after the pool table and sauna are delivered.

The other narrow wall has a 3 foot x 11.5 foot shelve that would make a better bed for two. .

You and the dog

 

[R. J.]

We only ever owned one dog LADY. An English Springer Spaniel. She lived to be 18 years old. 1986 to 2004.

Today for my new shed I plumed out the air line system for the compressor. It will be mounted on the inside on the wall of the compressor room. In order for the water/contaminant catchers to work correctly you need at least 25 feet of pipe between the compressor and the catchers. I'll have about 32 feet. Pipe lay out measures 5 ' 4 " tall and 32 " wide. Time spent about four hours. Price for all the pipes, drain valves and fittings was about $200.

Nice job as usual R.J.! Are you going to pressure test it before you mount it?

 

[R. J.]

I did. When I put it all together I used the thick gray mega tape and pipe dope. When I got my other compressor the catch units was only a foot or so from the compressor and they would fill up with water in about four hours of continuous run time. When going 25 feet or more if extends air tool life. The reason why I put a valve at the bottom of each 5 foot vertical pipe is because you want all the water out of every pipe. I drain my compressor and lines after every use and always leave the valves open until the next time. See step #9 for the reason for 25 feet of air line. https://www.powdercoatguide.com/2016/05/plumbing-your-air-compressor.html#.YZF9XWDMKUk .

Today on/for my new shed I painted and installed the 1/2" steel piping manifold cooling unit in the compressor closet. Painted and installed the 3/8" and 1/2 steel pipe for the Devilbiss water catcher and Motor Guard contaminant catcher. I also put aluminum sheeting on the work bench top surface and wrapped aluminum around the edges of the sheeting. Also I set up the fridge and loaded it up with my favorit drinks. Mounted my 5 inch vice and made up a circuit braker card. Time spent about 10 hours. I'm hoping to be done with the shed by December 28th. ______________________

Today for the new shed I painted my 1989 Ingersoll Rand 5 HP 60 gallon air compressor and the compressor's electric motor. This was by Brother-In-Law Ron's compressor. He left it to me when he passed away October 2020. Time spent 4 1/2 hours de-rusting and stripping & 1/2 hour painting.

Perfect candidate for some old school flames! Is it a 2 stage?

 

[R. J.]

No. It's a single stage motor. It was rebuilt four years ago.

Today for my new shed I put up two more four foot LED shop lights. $35 from AMAZON. One light I mounted under the middle shelve above my work bench. The other one I mounted under the top shelve above the big shelve. I now have 14 lights inside the shed and three mounted on the outside of the shed. Also I bought a new V belt from ACE Hardware and plumbed the compressor's air output assembly. I painted the piping black. Bought a new SQUARE D 240 VAC on/off switch. $35. Two new liquid filled DURA CHOICE 160 lb. air gauges from AMAZON. $70. Time spent about four hours. https://www.amazon.com/Square-Pumpt...e+d+air+pressure+switch&qid=1639249803&sr=8-3 . https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Pressure-Gauges-DuraChoice-Vacuum/s?keywords=Industrial+Pressure+Gauges&rh=n:2611568011,p_89uraChoice&c=ts&ts_id=2611568011 .

Great job on all of that R.J., you've done a hell of a job building that!
