I have a little over 10' and installed the top cross beam in the rafters. Worked great! IMHO - best deal on 2 post is from Greg Smith Equipment. Karl

By Courtyard look, I mean more of an area enclosed by the walls of your structure - in this case two sides as opposed to one. I am assuming that the shape of your structure would be an "L" shape after rotating it as you suggest. This gives you an opportunity to create a nice patio for example...

Depends a little on your choices in cars... Two suburbans would be very tight, but two smart cars would be spacious... Save your model and draw it up in a new file rotated as you suggest. A two car garage door is 16' wide and two normal size cars can fit through no problem. Biggest issue is...

(Arguably) the most recommended affordable tool box on this forum is the Harbor Freight box that sells for around $360 depending on the coupon of the week. See: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53369 Jump to the end for the latest news...

Maybe the Samurai rolled over and started the fire... I read a news story once that they will basically roll over through no fault of any driver...

5 of 5 working perfect from wallhelll... bought all they had and need three more. Maybe tomorrow I'll try another location. I'll update pics when I have 8. Karl

Real recycling - looks nice! How much weight do you estimate it could support? Karl

I got an old Coats 20-20 which is pretty similar from my father in law a couple of years ago and I was able to find some info on a Ford truck forum. I don't have the pdfs on this laptop, but I'll search around... The top bead breaker never worked well as designed so I ended up using a piece of...

Nice... I like the old farm house, especially the building on the left. Cool project!

For my 30x40, it was about 1,800 for the eaves and overhangs, plus another 600 for the wainscoting. Give or take, all the quotes from various builders were about the same. The builder put pressure treated plywood for the wainscoting on the front and I did the ledgestone myself (had just enough...

I used a ledgestone wainscoting that matches our home on my pole barn plus matching garage doors and colors to make it look less like a "steel building". Make sure to put a steeper pitch and overhangs all around will improve it a lot. A lot of steel buildings look ugly because they have no...

Wow... Great northern Michigan town and classic boat company from up that way - Four Winns.

Simple and Beautiful - very nicely done! What a great transformation.

Love the doors! Nice garage, size is what it is... You certainly made the best of it with one of the nicer looking spaces on the forum.

Wow... a lot of variations around the country. Time to call up my company and see what I can negotiate. That and shop around for a pre-buy next summer!
