    Attached garage builders and rough costs in the Mid Atlantic area?

    Just as a data point, with my 950sq ft garage, the footer, block foundation, and pad cost $25k in Delaware last year. That was very cheap with the quotes I got and only because my neighbor was already getting work done by the same people and they were able to share a lot of days labor. That...

    Cost to run 18k mini split

    That really changes things for me - The 62deg F was a deal breaker for me, and this is the first time I've heard about this option.

    Anybody using file cabintes or lateral files?

    I used them under pretty much my entire bench. We have a few surplus stores where DuPont and all the banks sell their old furniture, so I got these for about $10 each. One cool side benefit, is that all the DuPont ones come with a piece of 1" thick, 12"x18" steel that they used as rear...
