Why couldn't this Snap on guy just go to the police and have them go to the shop with him to pick up his tools that have basically been stolen by this guy, man, what a terrible situation, I know there are scumbags out there who take advantage of people everyday and then have the guts to look you...

Here are a few pix from the backside of my new gates, we used metal 2x2" frame and mounted wood stockaid 8' high to frame, there are 2 swinging gates, 12' each, one is powered by PowerMaster gate opener. the 4x4 metal post are concreted into the ground about 3' deep, absolutely no sagging and...

Here's a good look at the theater screen, to put it into perspetive, I should've had someone standing up there by it, :headscrat but that front wall is 22 feet across and the ceiling is 14' high. That light you see on the wall to the left of the screen is 7 feet off the floor, the top of the...

Here's a better look at that 598ci Stroker, 9.80 138mph... :beer:

Okay, let me see if I can answer all your questions… then entire structure is 42’x52’ with 14’ ceilings throughout, approx 2,200 sqr ft. It was constructed with 2x6 walls, insulated and two AC/Heat units, one for shop, one for theater. I dedicated an area 28.5’x42’ or approx 1,200 sqr ft to...

Yes, she understands perfectly, I told her I just soon stay out there and not see her for a week or two, just bring me a sandwich ever now and then, and she agreed, I didn't see her until late in the 3rd week when the swelling went down a little in my left eye... (i know i've said it before...

I'm using the Optoma 1080p Projector with a BlueRay player, the picture is incredible on the 14x9 foot screen, like you can walk right into the scene, the sound system is the Pioneer 7.1 audio amp, JVC speakers with a JVC sub-woofer, the Theater seats also have **** Shakers (they shake the seat...

Wow, Love those neon fixtures... are those aftermarket reproduction signs, or are they actually antique..? I'd love to be able to find some of those for my shop, they all look in great shape, very nice looking, and very nostalgic shop you have there on display. thanks for sharing, take care..!

My shop has similar dimensions, it’s 28.5’ x 42’ x 14’ ceiling. We spaced 12 (8 ft in length w/4 - 48" bulbs each fixture) florissant lighting fixtures equally spaced, 6 fixtures down each side of the shop as seen in the picture. As noted, the fixtures are not dropped, they are mounted...

Mike, sorry, let me re-clarify what I said (also see post #12) what I said was I wouldn't "recommend it", not that it wouldn't work at all for a work shop. I agree with everything you're saying, it is nicer to work on, much easier on the feet, damaged tile can easily be replaced etc., but it is...

Thank you Jersey, not only is the shop nice, here's what's on the other side that wall to the right... I told my wife I could stay out here and just not see her for a week or two at a time.... you know, just hang out in my ManCave, she could just bring me dinner, you know, a sandwich would do...

Lots of good advice in this post, but one has not been mentioned, that's CEILING FANS for every 15 feet length of shop or width, place a Ceiling fan that's on a variable speed switch, you'll heat and cool more efficiently with ceiling fans moving the air around. It's surprising how much...

Just discovered this site, looks like right place for shops and garages. I'm also looking for some deco ideas, to cover walls, etc. My shop is 42.5 x 28.5, ceilings are 14 foot, I have a covered patio for storage outback that's 52 x 12.5 with outdoor lighting. The Theater in the other half of...
