Yep - doing the bottom sheets in white (gloss of course, for light, and also the gunk doesn't stick to the slick surface!), and the upper sheets in gloss grey. Since the floor is already white, and the ceiling panels (obviously not shown yet) are also white... it was quickly turning into an...

So! Poked around with a few methods... and ended up going with the simplest. I just cut all the sheets in 1/2. I'm far from a huge person, but a 1/2 sheet can be grabbed with one hand and still let me climb up the 10ft ladder. Tip the bottom edge onto the top of the lower, and stand it up...

Almost looks like a Chinook pump. Def' a very old design.

I do already have the sheets of ply. Got a good deal on a large purchase. $12 a sheet. And I do need the wood all the way up since I’m doing BX, and need to secure to it. The scaffold sounds like a plan. With wheels it would be solo doable. I might also just split all the sheets in 1/2 to...

I feel your pain. I had a 205L barrel of dirty oil that was 3/4 full tip over. 20 years later, I was still finding a new little patch. Anyhow.... if you don’t have absorbent pads, throw down some newspaper and lets it soak it up for a few hours. Shove them in plastic bags. Then throw down...

It’s hard to tell with nothing for size reference, but that “short” wall at the end is 26ft across.

Hi all Shop is largely built. I’m at the stage of doing the interior. Have 12.x ft walls. I’ve put up the 4*8 sheets of 5/8 ply vertically, and I’m about to do the horizontal run along the top. I’m looking for any hints and tips on getting them up there and secured, whilst not killing myself...

Diggin' a thread up from the dead.... But anyhow - yes! These were used back in the day (or in my case - yesterday, and maybe this afternoon!) for checking the output of mag pick ups in distributors - and there's not that much difference in a crank sensor, etc. Wave form will look different...
