Sorry to build this up. it is a nice built! I want to do this type of foundation. How does building react to this type of build?

Thanks all. I'm located in Canada. So I assume minimum #6. for 30A at 120'. Few questions: 1. Any disadvantage of running #2 except the obvious material cost? Will electrician charge me more for hooking up #2 since it is bigger and harder to work with than #6? 2. I want to make the run...

Hi, I want to run both 110v and 240v to my backyard shed that’s 120’ from the house panel. I plan to bury the wire myself and let the electrician to do the final hook up. lm looking to use teck cable that approved for bury at 20” depth few questions: 1. What gauge should I use for 30A at...

I didn’t get it for awhile until I realized my screen name😂:D

Hi, I'm looking to build a 600 sqft pad 6" pad for my building, a 900 sqft pad for a basketball court, and 1200 sqft paver patio. The current site is about 2% grade so I need to level those area. Should I hire my someone to do a rough grade or let the landscaper/concrete guy do the grading...

Also, do heavy construction equipments depreciate slower than cars?

Thanks all for all pros and cons of getting a skid steer. My property is actually just a tad under 1/2 acre instead of 1/4 but that doesn't make a difference lol. Like someone mentioned, waiting for contractors to come and give estimate and no show is very frustrating. To be honest, one of my...

Hi, I live on a house with 1/4 acre land. It is not terrible large but I need lot landscaping done. Many projects I do involve either moving tons of gravel as patio base or lifting heavy like setting 6x6 Post or digging holes/trenching. I rented a mini-ex last year and had tons of fun. It...

Thanks @cvairwerks and nhwylee. If the cost to remove these beams is significant, would it make more sense just to leave it as it and build a separate garage?

Hi, I want to put in a 4 post lift in my 20x20 garage with a wall height of 8'6". I think I can gain another 2' of headroom from the roofline. However, I have 3 large beams spanning across the garage. They look like 2x8. Are these support beams? What modification do I need to make to remove...

50' seems crazy. Most of the lots here are lucky to have 50' wide frontage. How can any construction be possible?

Did the photos not showing up.?

What would be a safe distance? The max I can go is 10ft from tree trunk. I want to move to another place w/o trees but the current property market is in the toilet and probably won't recover for any time soon...:shocking:

Hi all, I'm looking to build a dream garage that can doubles as an indoor basketball court. 30x60x16 The only problem is that there is a row of large (50ft+) spruce tree. I know some recommend a large setback from tree but my yard space is limited. The inner side of tree trunk to property...

Thanks. The garage is attached to the house but with separate door. Seeing your responses, I might put off this project for now. Alternatively, what is the best option to install a rear door fro my garage so I can have vehicle access to the backyard? I don't need an automatic door so some sort...
