nothing beats a A sitting on a deuce frame (specially a roadster) course about the time I had the body fitting the frame perfectly and pinched just right they came out with that flat 32 frame on top for Model A's good timing

Yep tin on the ceiling is the only way to go once it's up it's done and it's a huge reflector I used vinyl siding j-trim on the bottom edges of the tin to finish it off against the drywall (way cheaper than the tin mouldings) and a 1x8 in the centre to cover the joint (again way cheaper than...

if you have 10 ft walls with scissor trusses you should have at least 12 ft in the middle of the building most 10K lifts are 12 ft high no problem might have to watch on trucks with cabs or suburbans but shouldn't be a issue It's not in my shop and it's the same as yours

280 ft of 1 inch underground with a rented mini trencher took about 6 hours nothing too, it I'd do it again especially with the cost of hiring someone

Re: 10-3 romex run for shop receptacles I guess I'm used to 14-2 being used i understand how the black and white are wired but not sure why the red would be used i know you use it on 3-way switches and such but not on plugs Thanks for the info.
