Thanks! I do, indeed, have plans to replace this barn at some point. Perhaps in 2021. I could do it now, but I've got so many irons in the fire I kind of don't feel like taking on another big project. Haha The old barn was 26' x 35' x 7' with no electricity, water, or concrete. The new one...

Yup! Recycling the nails and other metals whenever I make my next run to the scrap yard, using the tin to repair a wood sided wall on another building I have, and using the lumber for various things. Thanks for watching!

Hey, guys. Just finished tearing down a dilapidated pole barn that I had and I made the effort taking a time lapse video of it. Just for fun! Anyway, thought I would share. Take care

Hey, guys. Planning (and hoping) to replace my worn out pole barn this year with a new steel building. The existing pole barn doesn't have a concrete floor, but the quote I got for a new building included a concrete floor and it really didn't raise the price THAT much, so I figured why not...

Hey, guys! Had a question for ya’ll.... I’ve got a barn with sheet metal siding...probably 40 years old or so...the metal is needing paint and is rusting in spots, has a hole here and there and has quite a few dents and dings. Question being, can I put new sheet metal directly to the existing...

ddawg, I will definitely give that a try! What size drill bit fits the #4 rebar? What spacing should I use between bars? How much penetration into the existing concrete should I try to obtain? The existing concrete is approximately 4" thick. Thicker than that in spots and a little thinner...

Damn. Guess I should have asked these questions BEFORE I did the work. In the case of putting in dowels, I'd have to re-rent the equipment at ~$120 plus getting more help, plus finding a day to do it, plus delaying my garage doors install, plus aggravating the neighbors with all the noise...

Hey, ya'll. I had some major cracks in my slab in my garage that I cut out yesterday. I'm getting new garage doors and I had to remove a section directly underneath one of the doors to make the work possible. The old door was buckled from the concrete being so uneven. While I had the equipment...

I've got a carport that's not being used whatsoever and I'd like to utilize it. However, I don't feel comfortable using it unless it were better sheltered from the elements and also from someone less than honest that may decide they want what I have - for free. So, I'd like to enclose it...

That's a pretty good deal. Too bad there's no shipping as I'm in Oklahoma. lol I was just looking at some vises the other day online. First stop was Sears. Over $100 for a Craftsman vise that's really not even all that big and that just one! Went over to Harbor Freight and they have a...

Right on, ya'll. I like the sound of this! Dad and I did a rough sketch in Microsoft PowerPoint. We also have a schematic of the whole shop that's in scale using Microsoft Visual Studio, I'll take that as well. I see two places here in town that look promising. I'll give 'em both a ring...

Oh! That kind of curved! I see!

Need some advice from ya'll... As some of ya'll may already know, I'm wanting to convert two single garage doors to one double. My dad has taken a few pictures that didn't really turn out that well. He took three to make a panoramic shot, but the horizon is way, way off. I'm gonna post some...

I'm very impressed with the response to this thread! Very awesome. x2!!!!! This looks totally awesome! I, too, wish the picture was bigger and more of them. Details, man! TurnipTruck, I think you meant in your post that if your walls DID curve then you'd be screwed. They look pretty...

This is all ya' need, little fella'. :thumbup: :lol_hitti
