    ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) Structure for Workshop? 60x100?

    I did a 32" tall crawl space for my woodworking shop with Fox Blocks. Worked out very well. I braced with 2x4's around the inside. We didn't have any issues and poured a 30x40 crawl space in about an hour. I would hesitate to do a bigger project. Just have lots of help.

    Oil soaked rocks + dirt - what to do with it?

    Usually the reporting quantities on diesel and hydraulic fluid are at 55 gallons. So you most likely don't have a reporting requirement. I would scrape it up to get it away from the well and if you can get the microbes mix them in, and spread it over a larger area away.

    Need advice on adding a electrical panel to a wall which I belive is load bearing.

    I would also check below the floor to see if there is a pillar carry the weight to the ground. If it is load bearing I would put a header in from the far right side of the door and carry it left to the corner.

    found a jar of mercury?

    You need to have it disposed of properly. It can be inhaled and absorbed through the skin. I love the advice that is given here and you have to wiegh its value when you take it. People only know what they know. so if they don't know facts they can be dangerous. Use your best judgement and be safe.

    Best way to get rid of these brown widow spiders in my garage?

    We use the same glue traps that you would use for mice to catch the brown recluse spiders. Also works good for crickets in the fall. I have been told that spraying requires the liquid gets on the spider, they do not pick up the residue like other bugs. Spray then keep glue traps out in hidden...

    How much space under cabinets?

    I used the roll on bed liner you can buy in the gallon can at local stores. I coated the underside and 5"-6" on sides and back and the front of the toe kick. These were the cheap cabinets made out of particle board. No problems after 4 years.
