FWIW Found myself in similar situations and added Kroil penetrating oil to my arsenal of heat/shock/welding as a last resort. Not cheap, but got me out of some nasty predicaments. Some also swear by 50/50 acetone/ATF no affiliation... https://www.kroil.com/product/kroil-original-penetrant/

Been to Chry @C a lot over the last 20+ years :cool: There are a bunch now in the area, but no. One I used is in Atglen & appears to be split out into three different units based on use. Was originally Horizon Structures; still is, but now just seems to be focused on Ag/Horse, etc. Garage-type...

Regardless of size or situation, organizational ideas are always super useful, and I have found that this struggle continues. Food for thought: When in your situation, I added a large portable shed-type garage and actually brought it with me when I moved (surprisingly, a year later & am still...

So I followed this when you first posted, as I have a lot of vertical slope here in PA. Going double wide there is going to be a cost challenge for sure. My situation wasn't as severe and I solved it with grading and terracing. Something to think about... However, a neighbor had almost the...

Very, very cool and I am sure there are many options. :cool: If it was me, I would definitely figure out how to modify & get a lift area, but it stinks that it is in the main vehicle entrance. Obviously, your intended use case will guide you. I moved from a smaller well designed set up to...

Unfortunately, I have dumped a lot of atf over the years. From trans changes to blown coooler lines to PS leak from box on older car (use ATF as it is cheaper). Had it both in the garage (concrete) and on the driveway (asphalt). My MO is to soak up and take a stepped approach with...

I took them up on it. No issues or complaints, but don't ever want to pay for the privilege. It reports/logs outages and also graphs voltage, including brownout - line voltage fluctuations you would never know about. No complaints. I have some sensitive equipment that I run on line...

Sorry to see and hear that. Had a similar thing happen here in PA, not pines, but massive old growth oak trees, 100+ tall w/ several branches 12+" breaking off and piercing the roof like spears. I had moved into an existing house w/ detached garage as the second owner and already removed some...

I'm the KISS type & in snow belt (ugh). Designed my 12x38 for a specific space over 18 years ago, and moved it once since then. Have both styles: 8' - roll up on one end, man door near it on the side. Then did 2x version of style in @engineer2's pic (very nice BTW) (2 x 4' doors) in the...

Been fighting that here in PA. I found some heavy-duty bottoms at either HD or Lowes and they have been great and seal well. They are not smooth, black U-shape facing the floor and have had no issues with sticking over the last 5 years. Not cheap & sorry it's not a better description. Did all...

I have had an Amish-built 12x38 shed that I designed for a specific space at my old house 17 years ago. I moved a year later and brought it with me for storage at the rental and then moved permanently to my current home. Meets the portable but prob not the height. I had PT joists done on a...

I'm in NE PA and have heavy old-growth mixed forest and a lot of land. Cut around 3-4+ acres and have trails. I keep up with it through the fall as they drop and it never becomes an issue. I do change my patterns when heaviest, but surprisingly, now my mid-size ZTM keeps up where I used to...

FWIW Used to love BB. Multiple bad experiences and will never give them my business again

I have the Land Pride kit on my K for the grapple. It has sheathed/protected hoses & would have preferred hardlines, but availability was 0% at the time in 21. No issues on it, but did abraid a leak into one of the lines INSIDE the grapple frame by shifting the orientation of a fitting...

I didn't build it, but mine was done in the early 90's and has phone line and coaxial cable along with water w/ an extra conduit as well. I was using the coax until the latest digital conversion for TV. It is uphill about 75' and the thought of making that pull was discouraging. Something to...
