I see a huge problem with this setup. Access to the guns is blocked by the air compressor! :p

That's true. I didn't think of that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's what I wanted to hear. I kinda figured I could do it. The load of the building is in the poles and footings. So the pad is just kind of floating up and down between the poles. I built an extension of my drive way years ago to accommodate a really large boat. I used 6x6 treated...

I've been toying with the idea of building a garage. But because of the way my lot slopes and it's orientation to the neighbors, I've got concerns. The lot slopes approx 18-24in in the total run of the building. The property is bordered by fences. I've seen where a few people have actually...

I have a Bose Mini Soundlink I keep in the garage when it's not with us vacation or being used elsewhere. It links via Bluetooth to my iPhone. I have wifi so I stream Pandora or iTunes Radio 99.95% of the time. And for the size (slightly smaller than a regular size brick) it puts out...

I had visions of Norm Abrams talking for a min... New Yankee Workshop fans will know what I'm talking about. LOL

California Air Tools 10gal. So quiet you can talk over it running. Runs all the nail guns I have from framers, brad nailers, staplers etc. It even runs my air ratchet and impact. It's small and compact and fills incredibly fast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know that one for sure. My Dad's 18x30 shop is almost 30yrs old. We built it on a mono pad that was only 3in above grade on one of the 30 ft sides. It NEVER got moldy, leaked or anything like that. AND it was never exposed to direct sunlight because of the shops orientation to the house...

Wow a roof load of shingles? And I thought I had patience. I remodeled my house and put ceramic tile through out the house. I had a ton of tile trimmings and construction debris. The trash men took every bit of it and didn't bat an eye. The key is to treat them like humans and make it easy...

If the scraps won't fit on my wood cart it's gone. I try to estimate my material needs pretty close. So I usually don't have tons of stuff to get rid of to be honest. I learned years ago. Keeping a lot of that stuff around eats up storage space and makes your shop look like hell.

California Air Tools Model 10020 is what I have. It's 10 gal. At around 70dB it is one of the most quiet compressors available. I love mine. It fills incredibly fast too. About 2min from empty to full shutoff.

I ditched my Crapsman direct drive. Turned out it was waking the dead from the Cemetery by my house... I bought a California Air Tools 10gal. 125pis, 7.0 CFM. It's compact, easy to move, and runs my nail guns, air ratchet and impact gun. Best of all at 70dB, I can actually talk normally to...

What is done everyday?

Lurking here... going to build a 16x20 garage and have been given 2 ways to pour the floor.

Hello, I'm new here. I've been lurking and reading quite a bit over the last few months though. I want to drop by and shoot some ideas I have for a garage/super shed build. I call it a super shed because it will never have a car or truck in it. But it will house 2 Polaris Rzrs and possibly...
