Easiest and insurance approved is propane. If insulated good enough it doesn't take much and you can leave it on the cold side other then when you plan to be out there. Wifi programmable thermostat and it can be prewarmed. I had detached wood furnace and a pellet stove. But they are harder for...

Back to the lifts vs certifications - has anyone moved either style around the shop? I have a Rotory 2 post lift but honestly I have many times I would like 2 cars in the air ( I have many vws and sometimes rob parts from one to get the other moving - even tires with snow and summer tires). But...

I have 3 inches on the 2x4 stud walls where I sleep. While putting 41 dump trucks of fill for the new shop while I was sleeping as I work night shift I slept fine. Mind you I have 3 sets of shades on the window and a white noise maker in the room but the trucks were 30 feet outside the room...

Most codes require day lighting the exit of the drain. If in a climate where there is freezing then I would not put a P trap. Otherwise if it will never freeze then put the trap to keep air movement down and possibly pests. I don't have a p trap and mine is daylighted. May bury a biodiffuser...

I bought mine last fall when I sold my 60 gal air compressor before moving - was planning on upgrading after the move but still needed to air the tires up. In the last year I have only needed a bigger compressor to run the nail gun refinishing the garage into living space at the family farm...

Looks like your header boards holding the rafters between poles are 1.5 inches thick. You could finish off with wood that thick. 2x10s or what ever you can find that matches budget and looks for you. Are you trying to make it to code? If so you may need to do that and then put drywall or fire...

What kind of glue for the osb? And what cauk to hold the best to the floor? Thank you on the warthog. Father got it to symbolize for telling the story when. He was chased by one in Africa. I am thinking I'd calling it warthog garage. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

There is a lot of gutters out there and not all have ripped off. Had on my one shop installed for the snow melt that iced up the concrete making it more dangerous for 4 years before moving. 50 feet on the front with heat tape. Just installed on my current shop. Will see how it holds up to the...

Seems like a good lift. Bought mine used for $1000. But I had to tear down, load and erect on my own. Lots of used 2 post lifts for 1k-2k. I had to use a skid steer to load. Mine has the flip up pads and truck extensions so I have 4 heights. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I spray foamed the shop and thanks to this forum I was convinced to finish the walls to help protect the spray foam from sparks and uv light damage. I got a GREAT deal on some fire bloc osb board that has the same rating as sheet rock but much more durable and I am finishing the walls with that...

Here is a part Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Where are you located? Most heat lost is in the ceiling. Celulous is cheap when blown in yourself. You can rent from menards the tool. Does it have a vapor barrier of any kind? If not then consider that or things can rot in the future from condensation. Vapor barrier goes towards the living...

Found some good stuff on here. Tape to a lightweight pipe tie 3 or 4 ropes looped around and connected to a common point to one rope to pull up and down. There is a place that has some custom lengths they can make in the spring when not as swamped if I can't find a size that will work premade...
