see the wee bit at the end of the conduit, going into the box. What is that part? as I need them and don't know what they are called.

What are the specs on that compressor? Thinking one might do me until I get my 250L 28cfm compressor.

Compressor piped up over the garage door and down to the hose reel, small compressor replaced with the Blo GT dryer which saves me messing with it, connect the hose and dry away, getting there now

Carport question

I’m just about to put a tiled roof up in this space, won’t have sides or a front door other than the gates

Anyone know if I will need to pay rates on it?

Before I get mine all wired up is there any other options for the wiring and the white piping above.

I am thinking I might board the inside after a while so would prefer the wiring to run ‘through’ or around the frame so it is flat if I board it up? Anyone know if this is possible or too much hassle

Easily done but you’ll have to drill holes through your framework to keep the wiring in the void so you can sheet over it. I wouldn’t use my conduit in that case, I’d use the flexi stuff

how can you’ve 2 filters?

 

[Gareth]

Shıtty steps from the kitchen door down to the driveway have been mostly removed. Needed to do this as the end pillar would not allow a car into the new garage once erected.

Finally bit the bullet and got one of the German tool boxes. Tools are ok. Be fine for most uses then break out the big guns for the tough bits.
Made a bench for it with some spare worktop and used the leftover piece to make a little shelf. Axle stands are temporary lol.

Main bench a horror story. That’s tomorrow’s problem.

You can still see some bench surface, it's not that bad!

 

[FM155]

That's just what most garages that are actually used look like lol.

how can you’ve 2 filters?

Meant to be cheaper to use long term, when a resin gets down to 5-10ppm it usually gets binned, I’m using it as a pre filter which means the second vessel doesn’t have a huge amount to do, we’ll see!

How do you know when it reaches 5-10ppm? Is there a tool you can buy to test it?

Yes, TDS (total dissolved solids) meter, useful thing to have when you use vessels
