Thanks for the input guys. CreekRat, that's an option we've considered as it seems none of the solutions to try and seal the sliding door itself seem terrific. The idea of a door behind the door is how we got to looking for a glass patio door to span the space. It just doesn't appear...

Hey all, I've got a barn/wood-workshop build underway and am trying to solve a door problem maybe someone can help with. The look of the barn is sort of carriage house and I want a traditional sliding door on the front. Since the barn will be heated and insulated (75kw hot dawg and...

Interestingly enough we just did this due to a move. A ~1T BP J head. I was under some time constraints and ended up hiring a rigger. They cranked the table in, placed a 6x6 under the ram, and lifted it 4" off the floor with a forklift under the 6x. (we had to contend with the garage ceiling...

Hey, just found this site via a link from tractorbynet. I'm in the process of looking for plans for a woodworking shop/garage so figured I'd dig around here for some ideas. My usage will not be car related. I need more of a 1.5story barn structure for a wood shop on the first floor...
