new house for mikemike

[mr.mindless]

I'm probably not into OSB, but I do always like lumber. I'll be in the audi so if they're more than I think 40" wide or if they're filthy that's a no go.

[mr.mindless]

Learned there's zero point of any garbage/recycle sorting aside from what counts against garbage volume. Everything goes into one compacter truck.

id say 7/10 on filthy being under my apartment for 8 years and lower barn for a year now lol, np! 

[mr.mindless]

Sounds like Erok‘s!



Need some power (& water for ice maker? I’ve maker in the house is spoiling me!), I think this is the spot.

[mr.mindless]

propane service gas check all set. tech thinks the house regulator is undersized and may need an upgrade. Winter will tell if the stove doesn't run as hard as it should when furnace and water heater are both running.
He also agreed with the from-the-ground guess that the igniter is dead on the Reznor hanging heater in the shop.

Last load from paint booth to house loaded, last load from paint booth to upstairs storage loaded. Couple things I think left in Joe for storage. Loading and picking,
Loading and picking.

Not being nearly so productive in the house with all the crap that’s going over there. Might be spooled up for a good purge.

Ordered a low pressure fuel pump and fittings to hopefully go to built in tank. Siphon feed is causing frustration, need to play with choke, stalls... bah.

Anyone need that small brown fridge? Debating whether I try to use the 120v in Joe or if I run the MUCH smaller 3 way fridge from the camper.

Still need to unload the popup. Mostly fluids and lumber... And probably tear it apart? Maybe wait for shelves. Shopped hard for shelves today and didn’t hit gold.

Hopefully the rain doesn’t kill it. Good and oily. Tarped the motor. Not much else i can do.
 

[mr.mindless]

Maybe find a bank drive through awning or bridge to park under for an hour?

[M4wdFab]

little rain wont hurt that old machinery

hit it with some wd when you get home ha

[mr.mindless]

Good I tarped the motor. I did wait out the worst of the rain under a closed gas station’s
Canopy while I ate lunch, after Titan helped capture a free and loose Golden running around the street at the exit.

Ton of bugs on the tarp too.




Lathe is heavier than the mill.






Dunno if this will keep or not but it’s a start to think on. Probably close enough to final to plan power.

[mr.mindless]

Everything works!!
Lathe could use a new belt, unsurprisingly.

Temp wiring.
I’m thinking hard conduit from existing 240 outlet to phase converter mounted to the wall near the outlet between the machines. I only have one good whip from box to machine. The other is naked wire.

Need a switch/contactor at the phase converter too. It’s not supremely loud like smike’s static converter but it would be nice to switch at point of use instead of breaker panel. What’s good for that?

I don’t have good bussing to connect two machines to the phase converter. I don’t know what I should use for bussing that in a junction box. There’s a tiny bus strip there intended for 1:1. Not happy assembled as a twofer.

While I’m at electrical work, need fridge and range outlets too.

Long list of electrical sprouted up!

[M4wdFab]

lathe looks like a good scoore.  didnt know it was a rotary converter for that price nice!

Disconnect switch

[M4wdFab]

Mine is a 5hp rotary converter with auto start.  Nick has manual start i think with a disconnect. 


there is some majic with running and starting caps in mine.  one blew that i replaced a month or so. 

[mr.mindless]

Disconnect coming.

Auto start seems neat, but it’s so quiet I don’t care


Tire machines are expensive.
No good options on modern machines. For old shit this is a sweet combo. I always wanted one of those bumper jacks.
