I'm not aware of any super close by. I would be curious to see how amish pricing compares to Chelsea Lumber. I found their prices very competitive when I used them.

I've done this on boxes at work, one box with all shallow drawers and one with more deep drawers. Switching the drawers is no problem as others have mentioned but the lock bar won't engage the added drawers.

I would try to find a panel that already has the louvers in it. Something like used school lockers off of Craigslist and then cut to fit. That said I'd like to know what you end up doing, especially if you find a low cost solution.

I do this with Excel files on dropbox, accessible from any of my devises. I agree with your best/worst analysis :lol: Edit: I really like your vision for the garage.

If you get your feelings hurt at work you brought too many with you...

Ignoring the technical and just looking at cost, you're talking about adding 1656 sq feet for insulation. Assuming $1/sq ft for foam vs $30/yd of stone: Stone: 46x36' with no insulation, requires 2" of stone. 10.2 yards at $30/yd = $306 Insulation: 46x36" x$1/sqft = $1656 So $1350 additional...

No problem! The house was built in 1997 by a older couple that recently retired up north. We bought the house in late 2014. It had everything the wife wanted but no building so it gave me the opportunity to build exactly what I wanted. And the big wheels are awesome, I ride them around the...

Thanks Jeff. As big as it is I can't believe I have it full already. I look forward to your build.

12'x9' Sliding door time: Firstly, the wall mounted rails were fabricated. I made these adjustable and they were tweaked straight once in place with a string and some of those wood blocks masons use on walls... The door itself is a sandwich of 1.5" XPS and two layers of 7/16 OSB. I wanted...

I built a wall and made them... well umm I paid for it! :lol_hitti

Thank you! Will do on the enjoyment and the work, I smile every time I walk in the thing :thumbup:

Just a little progress. It's getting a 12'x9' insulated sliding door that I am planning to build very soon. I have a pretty simple design for the sliding door and track hardware planned and I may document that in a separate thread. To the right of the door header I am sinking a 2x6 so I can...

I agree! Full disclosure it does still have the bulkhead so think of it as a 8' bed with a 2' compartment in front of it. We didn't think it was worth the extra work involved for a "personal" truck but for a true work truck it would be awesome to have 10' available.

Just a bit of progress this evening. It might look like something soon. Note that the studs are just setting there... I wouldn't nail them in quite that crooked :bounce:

Excellent catch! That's a 4500 w/ a 10' bed. It belongs to my brother. the bed was spliced from a 8' dually bed and a 8' single wheel bed. It's looong :3gears:
