Barn isn’t insulted so I was going with no insulation for the floor. Do I need a vapor barrier? barn is clear span so no columns. One big floor. So no footers and no rebar is what I’m hearing. I can remove top 2-4 inches of soil so concrete slab surface is just below horizontal wall plates...

I’ve read the guide to concrete floors and have poured a driveway many years ago. I have 2500 square foot horse barn that has been used as a shed for decades. Dirt floor mostly; so lots of dust kicks up. I would lime to turn it into a garage for working on my motorcycles and other projects...

I’ve been looking but without knowing what to look for, I’ve been hesitant when one is found. Can’t tell if they’re complete, damaged, or even useable.

The pan/brake combinations look pretty nice. 24inch looks manageable but limited. 48 looks like a beast but much more useful.

I have room for the HF 36 unit or similar size. Budget about $700. Do these have different names or should I just search for sheetmetal brake

I’ve done the manual bending using hardwood templates and a straight edge but would like to get a machine that can make cleaner bends. For car frame and body repair, do I need a finger brake, bar bender, or plain brake? Will the 3 in 1 units be of any value? I’ve been looking on Craigslist and...

Nice. Thanks

I’ll look into it

Seems to be the buzz box is loved by some. This one Is AC, is that okay? One person pinged me and said to avoid AC. He owns the tank and date is still good. I’m sure there is room for negotiation now with your input but the Lincoln has my attention. It’s got a classic look

Anyone have thoughts on one of the older 211s, about 10 years Old. Neighbor has one with a 40cf tank, wire and some other bits for $1000. He also has a Lincoln AC 225 stick welder with some Rods for $100. Any thoughts on the machine, what should I look for? I have a Hobart 140 and will need to...

What is the gypsum board for? Drywall?
