    Converting horse barn to a shop

    We had some family go look at the house this past weekend before we get out there Friday, said the house itself stinks and there are litter boxes throughout. Sounds like the search continues, but a new house did get listed today that would be much more along the lines of what I’m looking for...

    Converting horse barn to a shop

    No idea, I haven’t seen anymore than you as of yet. I’ll actually visit and see in person in just over a week

    Converting horse barn to a shop

    That’s not a bad idea, I have no use for a horse barn though. 😂

    Converting horse barn to a shop

    I haven’t actually seen it yet, so window shopping. The drain I will find out on, I thought about that earlier and at this point not sure yet. It’s hard to tell from the photos what ceiling height actually is, but the sides are certainly not tall enough for a lift. But would be used for...

    Converting horse barn to a shop

    I know spray insulation isn’t cheap, that would most likely be a project to get completed after the floor. There is no time frame, so I’ll tackle it as I go. Truthfully the flooring will get done and I’ll do the demo work on the loft. After I’ve paid for that project and it’s completed then I’ll...

    Converting horse barn to a shop

    I would do as much as possible myself, but it’s also not a project to do it all at once. The first thing to get done is digging and pouring concrete, and demoing the hay loft. The climate controlled part is more of a dream than anything else, but is something that would happen but it would be a...

    Converting horse barn to a shop

    My family and I are in the process of getting moving from outside Atlanta to Amarillo, TX. We’re looking at houses on Zillow to narrow down and will be going on next week to actually look at houses. One requirement is having a shop. One house we keep coming back to has a horse barn, we like the...

    tool box for Service Van

    HF had a scratch/dent box that was just the right size, it's a cart with no casters. As far as I can tell the missing casters is the o ly thing I can find wrong with it.

    tool box for Service Van

    Supposedly all of techs with the company I work for will be in new transits with built in boxes before end of year, hopefully that holds true and I'd only need it to survive 8 months max. But that's the reason I don't want to put my nice box in it because I know it would be bad for it, but would...

    tool box for Service Van

    The HF 8 drawer is what I was leaning towards, before thinking about possibly just putting my Kennedy box in the van. I have no doubt that it would take the being on the road, but it's a very nice box. I have seen a few Proto 36" boxes in the $800 range used, I'm just not sure how it'd hold up...

    tool box for Service Van

    There are a lot more tools needed for forklifts than you'd expect. Outside of a normal set of hand tools in 1/4, 3/8/, 1/2, and 3/4" you need line wrenches, both standard and metric, full set of crows feet up to 2", diagnostic equipment, and a full range of Cummins and Kubota specialty stuff...

    tool box for Service Van

    I just took on a job as a mobile Forklift mechanic. I'm trying out outfit my van in a sensible way as for as my tools are concerned. I'm supposed to be moving into a new Ford Transit with a built in tool box before the end of the year, 54 vans were ordered middle of last year and we're still...

    WD40 on a serpentine belt?

    most likely talking about a manual belt tensioner. could be loosening the belt too which would obviously cause belt to slip.

    Old engine oil as wood stain

    mix reg engine oil with used diesel oil, if memory serves it doesn't take much diesel oil to darken the "stain"
