Yup. I have watched him for years and have a few of his books. I think he probably influenced more people to get into woodworking than anyone else. I wish him a long life and a happy retirement. Al

No Drywall, use OSB or Plywood. Heat and A/C if you are going to spend a lot of time in it. Maybe a dedicated area with ventilation for spraying finish. Al

I don't change out the hose unless something appears to be wrong with it. They only cost a few bucks so if it gives you peace of mind that you have a new hose on it then by all means replace it. Al
