I built my shop 20 years ago and trying to conserve $ stretch the air lines into the equipment storage area used 1 1/2 inch PVC; the building is 138 feet long by 40 wide and I had air outlets on both sides at each bay. PVC is easy and fast to install EXCEPT you have to fasten it to a hard surface every few feet, 12 isn't close enough. With 100+ psi in the line it will slowly stretch and bow between the attachment points until it reaches the failure point, then it just comes apart. I redid the lines with 3/4 inch main copper line with a drop to working height (4 FT.) between every other bay and only on the front wall. So with 6 bays 16 ft wide and the ceiling 16 high it made for 3 out lets plus the shop. Yes it was expensive but not as bad as constantly redo in the PVC. I did learn to cap of the pipe at the shop to storage area and at each bay; pressurize the line and check for leaks--less joints to check. When you cut the cap do keep your body parts out of the outlet of the pipe. I still have pipe bits in my arm. In retrospect I think 1/2 inch pipe would have worked also.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
