I just bought a Dayton, which I believe is a rebadged Reverberay, through Granger in Des Moines. Ordered online and picked it up at their local shop / Warehouse.

Another view, in progress

After 4 years, I'm finally getting some progress made on the interior. 100,000 BTU Dayton tube heater and a corrugated steel ceiling. Next I'll be completing the wall insulation and sheeting, then permanent lighting, etc. Finally, I'm working on the layout of permanent shelving, and...

More weekend progress: Set the south side, solo, today. Seemed to go more smoothly than with two people...of course, I had a favorable wind.

Thanks for the encouragement! Go figure, everyone had shorts on yesterday and today the wood is covered with ice...

Quick pic of me overworking my little 8n; finally seeing some color too!

Three weekends and it's pretty well framed. I expected to be a little farther along, but what the heck. Might need to take a little vaca so I can get the steel on quickly! I like the feel of the 15'+ ceiling center, but I'm already wishing I would have added to the 12'-6" sidewall. I'll pull...

A little more progress!

FINALLY! I've been planning my build for about 5 years, since we bought our current home and my garage space was cut in half. I'm currently working out of my 24 x 24 garage. In it, I have vertical and horizontal band saws, an iron woker, lathe, torches, two welders, large drill press, 20T...

I'm looking to move a pole barn and a buddy forwarded his grandpas technique: take a pair of nail pinchers (pliers with a sharp end to grab the nail); weld an old slide hammer to the pliers; POP! I wonder if a spot weld drill would work well for the nails heads as well???

As said: DO NOT discuss needs for your hobby. It's not a hardship to them (although it is to us). Continue with the thought that you need to have "X" amount of room to store required items (vehicles, lawn equipment, etc.) As stated, the 5' setback is related to fire code. 10' minimum for...
