I have the same model; great jobsite compressor. I empty the tank after each use and it only requires 2-3 minutes to go from 0 to 90 PSI. Air being discharged through the oil lube port is not normal.

I have never understood the wisdom of insulating a few feet of hot water pipe from the tank to where it disappears into the inaccessible reaches of the house upstream. In my case, I have only about 4' of 1/2" copper hot water pipe below a finished ceiling. That only about 1 pint of water.

Never insulate cold water lines. The insulation will trap condensation and hold it against the pipe. Two things can happen: 1. Legionella bacteria can be formed, and 2. U.I.C. can happen causing pinhole leaks.

I had the same problem. The ceiling was textured and it was throwing off my stud finder and mechanical magnetic nail locator. I decided to buy a cheap metal detecting probe.... the type that metal detecting enthusiasts use while digging to pinpoint a find. It worked great, finding every nail. I used small round stickers to mark each one.

The modern method that carpet installers use on stairs is staples, not tack strips. They typically staple into the toekicks, not the treads. If you have tack strips installed under the tread nosing, you will have to pull the carpet down and out... once you've cut through.

Use a utility with a hooked carpet blade. Start in the corner where the carpet goes back under the broken tread's overhang. Cut all the way across until you've cut all the way through. Pull the carpet down and out, then fold it back. Purchase a length of stair tread... typically Southern Yellow Pine. Remove the broken tread. Use it to determine the length of the new tread. Cut the new tread and fasten it into the stringers using 10d Box Nails. Pull the carpet tightly over the tread and staple the carpet into the underside of the tread nose.

Presque Ilse is a nice vacation alternative with fresh water beaches. We'd make the trip nearly every year when our sons were little (we live south of Pittsburgh).

I grew up on Milfred Terrace and I remember the FBI using a house by Ten Mile Creek as their command center. I went to school with Jock's grandsons; their father discovered the bodies.

Canceled our NYD feast with family and friends because my wife got sick yesterday. Must have been a 24hr bug because she woke up craving pork roast, MPG and my homemade sauerkraut. It's back on for just the two of us. Puff pastry dough is chilling for the baked Apple Roses.

This was happening with one of our toilets. After replacing everything with all new parts, I came across one YT where the guy described a "siphoning effect" when the refill tube is too long or is positioned too far down to overflow. Sure enough, mine was both too long and too far down the overflow. I shortened it up to where there was only a little droop and only about 1/2" of refill tube going down the overflow. Worked instantly, and that was 3 years ago.

I'm not completely sure of the physics involved, but the refill tube was drawing water from the tank... to the point where the fill valve would open up to replenish the vacated water (ghost flushing).

All-Season and All-weather tires are not the same. We live near the Laurel Highlands in SWPA and I run Nokian tires on my wife's SUV year round. Great tire... the Finnish know a thing or two about making harsh condition tires. You want to look for the mountain/snowflake symbol on the sidewall.

No cleaning at all. The gray weathering shows through the whitewash giving it a rustic look. She just thinned down KILZ2 primer with water... no paint.

At my wife's request, I made a Xmas tree for our front porch. She whitewashed it and decorated it with string lights. Rustic yet tasteful.
