Not in Humble. Not worth the expense IMHO. You have more humidity issues than cold or heat. I can cool my shop in west Texas with a couple of good window units and I'm way hotter in summer than you are, temperature wise.

If I'm out there, it'll be in the 68~70 range. Just sitting, if it's "cold" 20s/30s at night (such as that is these days) it'll be in the 48~low 50 range without anything running

Well water here is very high in nitrates from fertilizer migrating into the ground water. You can "drink" it but not much, not suitable for animals or small children. If you want to use it for anything other than laundry you'd need a reverse osmosis system installed. In Wise County Tx the well...

You can do it with Ubiquity nodes for less than $200. Sometimes way less. The internet link I set up temp for daughters house was about $140 total for two 2.4g nodes. 500' distance, through one wood wall, line of sight.

As far as garage space - depends on what you plan to park in there. My F-150 SuperCrew is every mm of 20' and the 2020 F-350 is 22' long. Both clear under a normal 7' overhead door. The F-350 in a "24' deep garage" leaves barely enough room for my waist to slide between the nose and the...

Interesting - Looks like they possibly combine with other things...

You undercut the fireplace - that's the way most professionals do it. Not scribe up to it.

Don't have any anti-slip additives under mine - called "watch where you step" and clean up spills. 4", 2 post, 4000 PSI, no special footers under the lift. Also consider that a 4 post has nearly twice the floor bearing area as a 2 posts, so I'd not have any problem moving it around a shop...

Our Craftsman belt drive is about 10 years old - I have LED bulbs in it and have no issues with cheap Home Depot remotes, in car, etc.

As an IT type guy, this was a tremendous effort. Overcoming the inertia alone to "fix" what at least was a working platform is tough. Like the look, well done.

I did a 12x12 perimeter with a 12x12 down the middle and 3 across on my 24x40 slab. Hasn't moved in 10 years. >Single digit MPG doesn't sound crazy. My Dodge truck with 6.7L diesel gets 10-12mpg empty. The 1993 F-350 460 gets 9.9 dead empty and about 5 with 12,000 lbs on it at 60 MPH. It...

My 2011 build was $7.95/sheet for 7/16.

Why our trailer has the spare wall mounted at the rear. As for lights - I replaced some of our bitty overheads with some larger dual "RV" type LED lights. So far results are mixed. I need to get some others as they didn't hold up real well. The inside 4' fixtures were about $120/each to...

Wind just tore part of the roof off daughters house, we're going to see what prices are - had ours replaced two years ago. OSB is $35 sheet here, I'm not inclined to build anything right now.

It's like $38/sheet here recently. 6~7$ 2x4s, 10$ treated 2x4s. Nuts
