    It's a start

    About the doors After I went upstairs I remembered that I didn't comment on the overhead doors. In fact I am still going to cover those with barn doors. I didn't like those faux designs that get put on garage doors as they don't really look like barn doors. To this point I have had a...

    It's a start

    Finally This project was really a struggle for me. The general contractor is a friend of mine and it really has kind of ruined my relationship with him. This job was really not a priority for him and the timetable showed it. Ultimately I toolk it upon myself to finish the few things up and...

    It's a start

    Okay so I got lost in the process of building this barn and I have not posted in a LONG while. A brief description would be chaos! I just got the final inspection at the end of May. It is now July and I happened to have it cleaned up so I thought I would take some pictures. I'll try and load...

    Asymmetric lift for heavier vehicles?

    Bob, I have a symmetric lift and bought it for lifting heavier vehicles. I am sure there is someone else out there lifting the same vehicles with an asymmetric lift. All it took for me was seeing the Nissan dealership lift their half ton pickups on an asymmetric to convince me I needed a...

    Tractor owner opinions

    I think you would be happy with that setup even if you have to pay 15k. 12k is better it doesn't look worn out at all. It's always interesting to see someone selling a whole package like that. I know how much they have in those implements and they do too. However if you will only use an...

    Concrete cost

    Yep, I'm square with brownbagg. $3.50/sq ft for 5" concrete with 1/2" rebar every 24". I know because I just paid the bill in November. Geographically I'm no where close but in the midwest that's what it's going to cost installed.

    It's a start

    Thanks for the replies. I have 2 more pictures to post the progress today. It looks more like the finished product structurally. I checked on the shuffleboard today. It should slide through the loft window at the back of the shop. Granted it will take a lift to handle it (1000lb). When I...

    It's a start

    So this is my official first post about my shop. I will test adding photos. We'll see how it goes. It's 40x48x12 with a 15x48 loft upstairs. When people ask me what I plan to do with it all I can say is "mess around". The 3 car garage has been taken over by big wheels and bikes. The shop...

    torsion spring garage door opener

    I just joined this journal a few days ago and I hate for this to be my first post but this back and forth between Nitro and Zeke is the funniest **** I have read all week! As for the OP do what you want and ignore all of the other responses. Somewhere many years ago a man designed an indoor...
