The Klein’s are sweet, I’ve moved on but used to do a lot of commercial / institutions construction and remodel, never had something that nice. I’m on the lending side now and had seen them but never really looked until now… I was too busy cracking up watching guys use grocery carts, which...

I have tested this empirically and found it to be true!! (Made me laugh) I still have so many lessons!

When I’ve used them they have been still wet when I poured / installed patch.

I smiled, I originally was going to build in a zoning area limited to a 1,200sf shop outbuilding (I would also have an attached to house garage). Before I built it, a property came up in the same area that had an older non-conforming but grandfathered 40x60 red iron shop. Well 18 months later...

Not my deal, but if you actually read his post it is this (pic below). Nice low arms to get under small cars. My older (sweet) Rotary 9k won’t do this either, have to drive up on some blocks/ planks to put my BMW on it.. I may make my own secondary arms (just to make all the purse clutchers on...

Yes start thinking of laying out the site based on access, and desired distances back from the road or to site features, and desired distance between buildings. How you want the property to “flow” This will help inform quantities for road/drives (always more expensive than you think) utilities...

Either works; if you go outside with poly-iso (tolerates moisture better) you can run it below grade and gain more cold protection. Thats what I would do in Colorado. You will get various opinions based significantly on what climate the poster lives in. (I always laugh when someone from florida...

P.S. you can also have a local vinyl siding and or gutter company “brake” you some flashing in any of their standard prefinished colors.. white, brown, tan, etc

I use light gauge sheet metal 1 1/2” Z flashing on basement walls, it is sourced from Drywall Supply houses that supply contractors but they all sell retail too around here. You might go find it yourself. I’ve been a general contractor off and on my whole life, I end up holding subs hands more...

I need one to go with my Speedmatic 597 (and a Versaplane!)

It would make a nice small sheet metal break or roll stand as well (weight).

Also look at some of the clear sealer products, the look really nice on new concrete, I have done them in commercial/industrial projects in my career. Easy to sweep and clean, probably looks better than a painter finish over time. I like epoxy finishes on floors too, but I bought a large used...

I saw one of those on Marketplace or CL a few months ago and was tempted.. I have a vintage Porter Cable 7 1/4” Cabinet Saw (and am a lifetime “master” trim carpenter)… but I’m trying to cut down. If I had already seen you post I could not have resisted. 😀 I think I’ve seen a few of them go by...

This is the standard.. 5 x about 7’ - 8’ depending on sink and shower width; you could get down to 6.5’ but feels crowded.

Thanks! thats what I noticed (price difference) which a mid would likely be fine since I have a Rotary SPOA9 already. I could rotate tires, do brakes, change oil etc in this my “daily” bay. And it would help w/ very low BMW E46 330i ZHP (M height suspension)! Prior owner built it (true...
