I need to get some pics I suppose..it was about 8 years old, light use most of the time, runs my plasma probably more than anything..was full of oil..

Headed to the shop sunday morning and heard a motor running..its kicked a belt off a time or two so I assumed it was my compressor..get to it, sure enough,motor humming, belt laying in the floor..but whats that? there is a tennis ball sized hole in the side of the compressor case..one rod is...

This looks just like mine except instead of the little blocks to brace the wall, I ripped a 2x6 to a 2x5 and ran it vertically halfway between each post..tieing all the perlins together.. nice job

I ran mine horizontally inside the posts on 24" centers then ran R20 vertically behind it..worked out great..my 5" posts are on 10 ft centers,so i ripped a 2x6 lengthwise to 5" and put one in vertically halfway between each 10' span,added alot of stability,I thoroughly nailed it to the inside...

I use a 14" Makita, that thing has cut many thousands of pieces of square tubing, I've had to replace the brushes in it once..still works great..It replaced a cheap one that lasted about 6 months, that was about 14 years ago..

my 30 x 50 was poured with #4 on 24" centers..almost a year now with no cracks whatsoever..

I priced it all last summer before I built.. 30 x 50 x 12, no concrete, insulation or electrical, just matl for the shell was right at $3300 I had a local pole barn builder do it that I have used before, he supplied matl and built it in three days for $8500 ,thats with adding a 30 x 8 shed...

Looks good to me..my shop is auto/weld shop, more tinkering than anything.. but I like my pegboard..not nearly as full as yours, but i keep the stuff i use all the time on it, its always handy without digging through all my toolboxes..a buddy of mine did the entire inside of his 24 x 30 garage...

mine has been on the pallet for years with no problems

I'm no pro but have had more experience mudding than I EVER wanted:lol_hitti...I cover with about a 6" knife then come back and smooth with a 12"..When smoothing with the big knife,you want to put more pressure on the outside of the blade away from the joint and less on the joint..basically you...

I use a pair of Cerwin Vega's with 12" speakers I bought new back in the early 90's for the house:rolleyes: but with the older 100w/ch reciever in the shop, it'll get louder than I can stand..LOL

I guess you looked around before you tackled this on your own? I priced matls to do my 30 x 50 x 12 myself, with the discounts they can get, it only cost me $300 more than MY cost of matls to have mine built..3 days and they were done..they did a great job and I didn't have to do it..

I've had three poured near Tulsa over the years and never had plastic under any of them without any problems..I had my new pole barn shop floor poured last weekend in that heat..I watered it for 3 days, so i can relate on the upcoming water bill..

love it..that looks great
