The tankless guys are great - just be aware that they draw a lot of electrical current (or natural gas) and your 'fuel plumbing' needs to be up to the task. We replaced our water heater a few months

Most hardware stores have some sort of complete heavy-duty shelving unit. When I moved into a small 5x5 storage rental, I bought several of the sort that are steel, include all hardware and pressboar

Yes, these are essentially the ones I mentioned, except that mine are half-height. The idea of buying used industrial shelving is a good one.

There's probably a code restriction on the max, but nothing you've said makes me think that you're past it. I have a 60A subpanel in my garage, and there's a 50A circuit to run the (someday) TIG alo

I've never done. I've watched it being done by a pro. He had two rods that fit the holes very snugly. He did one side at a time: draw a line across the spring horizontally. Put a rod in the top hole

I've been very pleased with the 'ACI SuperCharger' units I've bought. I'm mostly using them for smaller SLAs, but they occasionally find them onto a battery in a vehicle. I have several of model 1206

I'm sure he doesn't want to take test it, but cutting a core is a lot less work than cutting a 'solid hole'. A core drill is similar to a hole saw, in that it only cuts the periphery. You should be
