02:49 Should have used Roxul Safe-N-Sound insulation. The sound deadening it offers is very quiet. Your fiberglass insulation has virtually no sound-deadening properties. Could have put it on the shop wall as well. 18:04 Should have used a mechanical wind-up timer instead of that switch. That way, if there was an issue, the compressors would not be running until you got back..... 00:00 As to the doors, use piano hinges and a latch at the top and bottom. Those items will reduce the twisting/warping of the doors.
It sucks when a door doesn't hang straight. You can put a diagonal piece of 1/4 all thread and a turnbuckle in the door to help draw it in. You'd have to kinda mount it close to the siding on the bottom corner near the middle and then the upper left corner towards the inside to give it a bit of a twist. BTW have you had any trouble with mice getting into the insulation?
I wouldn't, unless you are truly paranoid about it freezing in the winter. I didn't have any issues with it freezing. But I am going to put some cheap plywood (I know, there is no such thing anymore) to better seal and protect the insulation.
They have held up really well. Only had to replace one relief valve...... so far. But they are holding up really well. And they are the oiled version. I check the compressor oil monthly when I do the fire extinsher maintenance.
@@macstinkerhole That's even better. I haven't had much luck with oil-free compressors. The oil compressors are the better way to go. With having two compressors as you do, it one goes down, you still have one to get you by until you resolve the issue. My old 60 gallon oil-free compressor blew apart on me in the middle of a job and it was obsolete so I couldn't fix it. I had to buy a new one and bought a Quincy QT-54 60 gallon 2 stage. I am well pleased with it and it is reasonably quiet.
