    Why do so many seem to hate pegboard?

Commonly used tools like mallets and clamps get used so often that they end up getting placed onto specially made racks designed for just that purpose.

    Fair price for concrete slab in Baton Rouge

    2 questions actually. What would be a fair price of a 30 x 40 slab 6" with 12" footers on level ground. Access with bobcat is Ok. I live out of city limits in the burbs. Also how long should I wait after the pour before I begin construction of the enclosed pole barn? Thanks in advance

    enclosed carport as a shop

    Difference is usung 2" x 2" posts vs I beams. 29 gauge steel vs something thicker. I know I wont be able to fit up a chain hoist to the ceiling or hang heavy shelves on the walls without reinforcement. Just cant afford to build it twice if those carports are built flimsy and the whole thing...

    How big of fan?

    Not bad bubbly I like your style. I was afraid I was gonna get a bunch of naysayers. If condesation stays at a minimum I don't see a downside. Stop me before I do something dumb though. Open a shaded window and put the fan up high (where the hottest air is) I suppose
