I don't use nor will I probably ever use blast gates. I do not have a
multi man shop so I only need to use my DC for ONE tool at a time. I
have a 30' long flex hose that comes directly from the DC to any of the
6 machines that use the 4" connection. The ends are flared so hood up
is instant.

My set up is just toooooo easy and efficient for me to consider
complicating with Y's or blast gates.

My shop has become so crowded. All of my collection hoses drop from the ceiling. If I had to run a hose across the floor, I would have to hang from the ceiling to operate my tablesaw. :-). But you've already seen my mess.

LOL, so Bob If you will recall my hose goes up to the a 2x4 fitted
between one of the garage door rails. The DC hose hangs from there
normally. If I need long, 30', I take the hose down from the hanger
hooks and lay it on the floor.

How is that Ridgeline working for you?

We bought this a couple of days ago.

You've got 50% more space than me, and I've got 50% more junk (counting the two recently acquired recumbent trikes). :-)


You need a two story garage. ;~)


The ridgeline is proving to be perfect (for me). Its not for someone who wants a big truck.


The Ridgeline probably would been enough for us too, had we not wanted
a, nice long road trip vacation vehicle, with the ability to deliver
furniture.
We got a heck of a deal, it had options that we normally would not have
gotten, moon roof, massage seats, and FX4. BUT we paid about $3K less
than what KBB indicated was a great deal in our area.
And the Tundra that we traded proved to hold it's value very well. We
got almost 1/2 of what we paid for it 12 years ago. I totally believe
that the appraiser wanted the Tundra for himself. "He" came back telling
"me" about how Tundras drive and how clean our dirty truck was. :~) He
either wanted it or he had a customer looking for one.



I like your new truck.
Thanks, we need to get together. The smoke is thinning out and life is

beginning to get back to normal.
