rah,

Something about a compressor at face level scares the sh!t outta me!!!

Probably because I was nearly killed by one exploding once! True story!

Be carefull with compressors and drain the water out OFTEN!
 
my basement is pretty small, since my house is built right on a big rock outcropping. my wife just submitted the plans today to have a 26x50 garage built. since the cold weather is here, we probably won't get started till the spring. i still have alot of my tools in storage. all my climbing and rigging gear stays in my truck, along with the saw's i use every day. the saw's under the bench are just my spare's:D

thanks for the info wpbgent

Good Point!!!

The only reason it is there is because of the lack of room. BTW the tank gets drained often!!!
 
Here's my 12'X16' shed. Zoning restrictions dictated that I kept it below 200 square feet. Over 200 and they require 35' setback (which would have put it in my kitchen).

i can't leave out the bottom box... and some of the rock in my basement.


A quick story about rock in the basement. When I put a full cellar (subcontracted it myself) under my 25' x 55' house, it involved a lot of digging with a small skid steer (there were no "mini's" at the time). There was so much ledge that the only practical (and I use the term loosely) thing to do was blast it out.

Picture this: big house up on steel I-beams and lots of cribbing in strategic spots, ledge all along one wall. We're (me and my two little boys) living in the house - walking up a 2" x 12" to get in and out. The fellow comes and drills for the charge placement, lays the blasting mat, and says, we'll do it first thing tomorrow morning.

That morning, every single kid in this end of town stayed home from school to see if the house came down when the ledge came out. It was SOME LOUD and very dusty but not even a broken window. Those guys were GOOD! If not for the blasting, the cellar would have been almost 10' narrower.
 
o.k., so I cleaned it up a little...

25x30, but the wife's car MUST be able to be parked in there at night (but it moves in the day :) ) Pretty much the only rule - Not bad after 25 years...

A strip mall project that an associate of mine worked on in W Va. required blasting. It was on property adjacent to a divided highway. The morning of blowing the first lift he was there and reqested they stop traffic both ways and they looked at him like he was crazy - but he persisted and they did.

After the dust settled there were boulders the size of appliances and small cars completely across the highway. The contractor panicked and sent tracked equipment out to clear it and wound up having to replace about 300' of four-lane.

He was NOT good.
