    welding fixture table.

    I tell all of ya'll this, I have yet to see a welding table built here. All I have seen is beautifully hand crafted works of art dubbed "welding tables". I could not in good conscience take a hammer, grinder or WELDER to the stuff you guys make.

    metal buildings

    I'm in Virginia so this may not help you. When I was pricing mine, I emailed several companies and after about a week, I contacted the one that had only sent the one email. The others where emailing me everyday and some would drop the price or suddenly had sales or specials. I bought mine...

    deeply notched ceiling joists

    if there was a problem caused by the ceiling joist being cut, the walls would be bowed out and a noticeable sag in the ridge of the roof line. If I bought the house. I would sister in 2x4's just because and not put anything on that side. The ONLY reason for I beams and poles is if you plan...

    My projects

    concerning the holes, I'd leave them as well. Three Speaker magnets or the like underneath will close them up so small parts don't fall through.
