I just poured some concrete a week ago... Two days later it was around 10 deg. They add calcium out here to help during the winter. I would do a smooth finish for ease of cleaning.

Well I just part a cheap tarp and rolled up some 1x1 strips of cedar in it we will see how that works. $300 bucks for something that my pickup would fit on seems really high when I got a tarp for $30.

I need to get something to control the snow melting off our vehicles in the garage. What do you all use/suggest? Thanks Brandon

I have some woodworking tools from Grizzly. I think for the price its hard to beat. For my home woodshop, its much easier to justify Grizzly over Powermatic stuff and for what I do I don't see the benefit of the more expensive tool

I have just bought tools for specific projects that came up on vehicles and around the house. I always felt I would rather pay for tools than pay someone else to do it. After 3 homes and years of working on them, i have collected a nice set of tools

My barn is 24' across. I was thinking about adding a small loft area for misc. storage between the roof truss spans which are 8' across. My thought is to tie a beam across the posts and build it like a deck. I could do this at about 8' or 9' off the ground and still have plenty of head room. I...

I do mean overhead lifts sorry for not being clear. I was wondering if anyone has mounted a jib type crane to the posts

Thanks for the info. This will be used 90 percent of the time for vehicles and storage only a small portion of the time will I work in there. I have a shop already. I will just keep a welder and powerwasher out there for the cars so I am not planning on getting crazy with in floor heat and such...

I am looking at pictures now. Looks like you can use rebar as long as it's half inch? Might do that anyway I am sure it wont hurt anything.

Colorado. What does that look like

I have a few questions for you experts. I am putting in a pole barn on my property it will be used for storage for now but I would like to make sure I have covered my bases when it comes to electrical to be installed at a later date. Probably 100A or 125A. 1. I have a 2" schd 80 pvc elec. (90...

Anyone heard of Tuff Manufacturing from Glendale AZ. I cant find much on a google search. I am looking at a heated pressure washer that the owner stated was made from them... I am just looking for some info on it.

Does it freeze where you live?
