When we built our house, an eight month long project, the inspector never once came by. My builder kept saying he hoped the inspector would come by so he could talk to him. As far as I’m concerned, the permitting/fees was nothing more than a shakedown/revenue generating scam run by the city.

If there’s not enough grade to drain it on the surface (which I would think would be unlikely), you could install subsurface drain tile. Install the Perforated drain tile on a grade to ultimately drain into a sump. Install a lift pump in the sump and pump the water wherever you need it to go. I...

Bigger. Can’t pull a semi and trailer into it. Also wish I would have installed a jib crane

Ouch! Hope you feel better soon

I was going to say grain bin floor supports too

The thing about putting some lumber down to build a ramp is that it will look so much nicer than the gravel would. (sarcasm intended)

Thats what I was going to say. Too bad there isn’t a scratch and sniff feature on the pics. I could tell you for sure

I found this one out in a field in which I was working. It’s a little rough, but I like it. I’ve no idea how it got there. I’m sure it had been laying out there for quite a few years. It’s hanging in my shop now

I’m sure there is some space that is sacrificed with the pivoting drawers, but I wouldn’t say I miss it. I normally don’t pack drawers so full of stuff that it’s an issue. The drawers are still pretty good sized as they are. I haven’t seen the videos, but I don’t buy that either. I open them...

I’ve got one. It’s the three bay workbench unit. No casters, with a 3/8” top with a back splash. I like the pivoting drawers. I think you could even stand in them without them bending. It’s definitely built hell for stout. It’s a nice addition to the shop. If you bite the bullet and buy one...

I would just like to say kudos to you for using a treadmill enough to wear out the bearing. Well done! I’m sure it will come apart somehow. Good luck!

My thoughts would be it would work fine, but the higher the ceiling is the better. I think if it’s too low it will cause the space to seem small and dark.

Good project. As a fellow Jeep lover, I’m sorry for the loss of your sweatshirt. Glad you weren’t hurt.

Please let us know how it goes. I’m curious

I think your estimate on the price of a new garage is low too. I put up a 30x40 in 2008. No insulation, no heat. two garage doors, one man door. I did the electrical myself. And it was $25-30. I also agree after seeing the stonework on your house that I’d put up a new garage rather than try to...
