    35x35 metal shop build

    Over a year now, I came home one day after work to find my back yard flooded. Turns out a water connection under my foundation came apart. Never thought about it during build, but made me realize I did not have a in line valve to shut off water. Since the water source comes from my sprinkler...

    which 2 post lift is best bang for the buck?

    Earlier this year I got a Direct Lift Pro 9D 2 post 4 point life. To date, I've had had no problems with my occasional use. http://www.directlift.com/ Prior to purchase went to local hot rod shop and this brand is all they had, probably 20 in all. Not that it means anything but I did notice...

    Beginning to install a sink in the shop, so I'm looking for anyone's thoughts, especially with the array of connections that seem to be needed. Here is my set up in the corner of the shop: I have a 1 1/4" drain pipe and a 1" water source pipe. I want to be able to have a faucet but also...

    I hope that everything works out for you, especially considering it is related to your work, and that when it is all taken care of, it serves you as initially intended.

    sundevil64: Shop was built by Jasco Services (http://jascoservices.com/index.html). Probably should call to see how far they extend beyond the DFW area. Perhaps they can recommend a builder to look into if they don't venture to Austin. Regarding the floor, I'm not exactly sure of the...
