That is no longer true. I have never seen a pole barn built around here that has center poles - they are all constructed with regular truss spans of 40-60' or more. For an example of one under constr

In general, you cats don't fare well with rats. But some dogs (terriers) just live for killing rats. Also ferrets. I use D-con pellets for rats around the farm. Mike -- ______________________________

That is the very old style of pole buildings - the traditional "post & beam" construction that was common before the availability of prefabricated span trusses. If you pick up an old carpentry book f

Anywhere there is a decent amount of rainfall, the normal amount of salt used for melting ice is diluted and causes no harm. I have been putting salt in the winter and calcium chloride in the summer

I would guess that the starting capacitor is the problem. Especially on a motor that old - capacitors dry out and lose their electrolyte and/or short out over time. I suspect that you can take it or

Not to be picky, but civil engineers refer to asphalt as "bituminous concrete". And surfaces can, of course, be "paved" with regular concrete also. Nothing is simple. But getting back to the original

You are correct in that a regular 15 amp circuit should do the job. But keep in mind that when the compressor starts up, it may draw something close to the full 15 amps, so it would be a good idea to

As a first guess, I would say that it is time for a cooling system cleaning. You can try using a radiator flush, but you might have to have it done professionally - removing the radiator and "boiling

I received a set for Christmas last year. They look good and work very well, just as long as you never need to actually use the sockets. Then you will discover that they get chewed up pretty quickly
