    Something I don't understand about portable heaters

    I've been searching this board and reading posts about portable electric space heaters. But I still don't understand why two different units with the same heat output are rated differently as to how much area they can heat. For example these two...

    Show off your old signs

    I like all those license plates! How did you attach them to the pegboard? I can never get mine to sit flat using peg hooks. And the wind blows them off when I work with the door open. Thanks

    New shop in Oklahoma

    Wow, I really like that building! What is the wall height and the inside height at the peak? Does a steel-frame building like that cost more that a wood frame pole barn? Do you know if that builder ever works in the Tulsa area? If so I'd like contact info. Thanks!

    Wife's thoughts on size of my dream shop

    My wife and I sat down and talked through it and with her help I was able to figure out what I really need or don't need in a pole barn/garage/shop. Here's how it went... We had recently been visiting some good friends. They just bought 8 acres, built a 3000+ square foot house, and a 30x50...

    Building new house, electrical needs

    1,2, and 3, no. 4, I'm not sure, are you referring to the alarm sensors? 5, no. 6, maybe but I'm probably not going to go that route.

    Building new house, electrical needs

    I am about to sign the contract for my new house to be built on a 1-acre lot that I already own. The builder says his standard electrical service is 200 amps but for $100 extra he will upgrade to 400 amps so I will have "plenty of power" for a shop I want to add later (30x40 pole barn). Also...

    The new guy would love some advice.

    My 3-car has almost the same footprint as yours. I wish I had gone with another overhead door on the back of the 1-car section, to make it a drive-thru to the back yard. Several others in my neighborhood did this, but in my case it would have put us over budget, not just for the door but the...

    2007 Corolla - Mounting front license plate

    Here in OK as in many states, front plates will soon be added to accomodate the use of photo-ticketing Scameras. We also have a bar code on our plates to facilitate a network of cameras proposed that would check every car as it passes to see if it has current insurance. I've already e-mailed...
