    Pole Barn Vs Metal Garage? Ny

    Sorry I have been away from my computer I only had to get a variance for height. I'm 250 feet from the street on 1.1 acres. A lot of this is town dependent in our area. I had a side hustle for 10 years doing plans for buildings and you would not believe the nonsense that goes on from...

    Pole Barn Vs Metal Garage? Ny

    I'm also in the Buffalo area. I have a 30 x 40 foot pole barn. I insulated it with 6 inch firberglass batts in the side walls and 18 inches of blown in fiberglass in the ceiling. My recommendation is to have them put metal on the ceiling because we made a 2 x 2 access hatch. The I added 2 x 6...

    Hammered In Wisconsin With Baileigh & Jimmy Shine

    This type of read is a good reason for visiting this site. Thanks for all you do. Had the chance to stop at So Cal a couple of years ago, some 2hours later I left with the understanding that those guys are just like the rest of us. Good people always rise to the top.

    RapidAir 1/2 or 3/4"?

    I used the 3/4 and find that it is a great improvement over the hard pipe we had. The 3/4 also gives a little more storage in our case because the runs are fairly long. All in all I really like the product.

    Rapid air maxline?

    Yep I put it in last year and I like it very much. It was not difficult to install but in the end it was pricey. I find no scale in the line and was able to easily add a outlet. I would definitely say it is a good product. I have pipe in my other shop and would consider replacing it with this.

    wall hung toilets

    When I did mine it was a simple deal of putting the wax ring on and the Johnny bolts. The critical dimension is the height of the flange so that the toilet sits firmly on the ground where you bolt it down. The toilet came with explicit instructions.

    Bendpak Questions - Ready to Pull the Trigger

    I did the trucking terminal route. I was able to have them place it in my open car trailer. Took it off with my engine hoist or I could have easily backed the trailer in the garage. The parts for the 4 post are not that heavy. You and a helper should have no problem. My buddy and I had it up...

    rapid products air line kit or black pipe

    I just finished putting in the rapid air system. It looks and works great. No leaks and it is flexible for the future. It was expensive however. I would recommend it anytime.

    Thanks everyone for your response. I have chosen to stick with Bendpak. I have a four post in another building. I felt it was best to stick with what I know. Thanks again.
