Everyone mentions it looks like a motor they worked with that was 220v. Can you get back to the lady you bought it from and test the outlet she pugged it into? I found out the hard way that some people use 110 parts to run 220. A company I subbed for supplied a piece of equipment for my use at...

Yes, they do. Yes, if you replace them with different bracing. When you remove the center brace, you will not need the 2x4's distributing the forces across multible joists. But since you are turning it into a floor you will need Xbracing down the middle under the floor OSB so the joists will...

Well I did goof. Read the (O/C) but didn't see it. Do your own snowload, wind and freeze depth research. Plan for the worst plus a little. You'll be glad you did. Around here we use to build for a '100year' flood threat, we have had two five hundred year floods within 15 years. Do it right...

Hello johnnysteals, How do they get a 12' side wall with an 8' foot post that is also buried partway into the ground? I think the roof slant is too flat, it will hold way too much snow sometimes and other debris if near any trees. I would want my posts well below any potential frostline...

Thought this slogan was included.

Always looking to learn, and just found another great source. Maybe later I can add some. Hello everyone.
