Maybe this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/256291736587 or chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19127-01/ultra450.ws/805-0430-10/805-0430-10.pdf (this has 500+ pages - I did NOT read thru it looking for hose connections) or Chapter 4 of...

Mine is a 2,300 sq ft shop dedicated to my auto hobby . Outside Main bay with lift, compressor (behind the checkerboard sound barrier), and mezzanine: 36' deep - 48' wide Main room viewed from the mezzanine: Eight foot wide walk thru to smaller 24x24 room. Full bath on left (8'x8') --...

This comes a bit late to the party -- you already have the stringers cut and installed. I offer this option for others to consider. I got the stringers from https://www.fast-stairs.com/ Each stringer (left and right -- there is no center stringer available) has three pieces The header pieces...

Here is more genealogy on the **** family: “You don’t know Jack Schitt,” now that’s an expression that I’ve heard more than a few times throughout my life! Jack Schitt is the son of Awe Schitt and Oh Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married Oh Schitt, the owner of the Kneedeep...

My hobby shop is 2/3 the size of yours; I've got 2,200 sq ft. My main work area is 48x36 with an attached 24x24 smaller room. I'm in Colorado Springs at 7400 feet bof elevation I have only 4 down spouts - they are on the 4 corners. I have a combination of drains that terminate 30' from shop...

First thing I noticed was the 3D rendering shows a man-door beside the 2x garage doors. That man-door does not appear on the dimensional drawing. Ooops. You also need to account for windows in the dimensional drawing. I am not an engineer but I think putting a staircase on a wall (interior or...

You can't really tell from that photo, but there is more to that yellow stripe. I sheathed all the walls with green metal sheets to protect the OSB from dings and water splatter; accented with yellow stripe. Go Pack Go / Nope - I bought it on-line. It was either through...

OK? I looked at every sketch (nicey done, by the way) and didn't see one barrel. I saw a notation for storm water to go to tanks. Does tank = barrel? Will you have 1x tank (barrel) at each corner; therefore 4-Barrels? If not, please explain Your "Four Barrel Barn"

Almost forgot (I have posted this several times so apologies to readers who have seen it before) Some notes I compiled after my from-scratch build. My shop was built to work on cars. My 2,300 sq ft Hobby Shop is complete and I am working in it daily and still populating it with...

An option that saves labor when installing in-floor radiant heating lines is Crete-Heat (https://crete-heat.com/). Each panel is 2' x 4'. The "hockey pucks" secure the heating lines and ease installation. Each panel is 2" thick = insulation. Panels are available to support 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8"...

I have a full bath in my shop (exterior dimensions = 8' x 8'): toilet, sink, and shower. I hadn't used the shower stall even once in the 5 years I've been fussing in my shop -- -- until the boiler died in my house and it took three days to source and install its replacement. THEN I was V-E-R-Y...

You appear to be well down the path to finalizing your design. Allow me to offer up some notes I compiled after my from-scratch build. My shop was built to work on cars. My 2,300 sq ft Hobby Shop is complete and I am working in it daily and still populating it with stuff. What...

Here's another option: The stringers are premade steel from this outfit https://www.fast-stairs.com/. The kit includes two bottom sections of the stringer (pair on the right) and two upper sections (that attach to the landing/top of the staircase). In between these two pieces on each...

Wizness What an absolutely marvelous starting point. Great open floor plan -- the inter-connected bays will be VERY useful. The back of the 45' bay (the first one on your video) looks to be a great place for things that make dirt, swarf, dust and more dirt: drill press, grinder, buffer, etc. On...
