The military get 10% discount. Makes it like "tax free"!!

I like the oil can but that could be a big problem now-a-days since oil cans are no longer produced. Someone might like it for nostalgic reasons and walk off with it!!

I went to Lowes and purchased one roll of insulation for the walls. It states it is R13 and is 32' long. would this be enough R13 for the walls? I know I will have to purchase more rolls. Is it wise to first caulk the insides of each section...where the 2 x 4's attach to the inside plywood...

That is my problem. I do not have anything to show. I want to add electrical. to give you an idea here is the inside.

I had a 16 x 24 barn type detached garage built in my backyard. I am in the process of painting the outside and getting estimates for closed cell foam on the inside. So far I was quoted $2200 and $1875 to coat the walls and ceiling with closed cell. The outside is plywood, a Lowes vapor...

Wow, "enough said"! You make a very good point. I will listen.

Sorry for taking so long to get back but was sent TDY for my job. The wire I have is Black+White+Ground. What gauge I have, I don't know but it was made to be buried. I bought it from Lowes.

I just had a garage built and on the side have a personnel door. How do I add a nice step out of concrete? I have some extra rebar from the build. Should I drill two holes in the pad and put some rebar to hold to slab? What do I put between the two concrete (slab and new step)? Thanks, Greg

Here is a picture of the post.

I looked at my post and saw pictures...then again I thought my pictures do not show the fence!! Good Eye. I will add pictures of the gate. Sorry.

The main house is about 85 feet from the garage.

I would like to have a light on the outside and one on the inside. I would like to be able to run a ShopSmith (once I purchase one!). I do not know how much amps I would need for a ShopSmith. I just want power to tinker with. Currently, I use my 15amp for an outside light, inside light when...

I did not know what a ufer ground is so I looked it up on Wikipedia. :) I do not have a bar sticking out of the concrete but do have those "J" bolts that the frame sits on. Would this suffice as a ufer ground? I did not have a ground in my current shed. I did use a GFI outlet though.

I am having a larger garage built and currently have a 10x16 aluminum siding shed I want to remove without taking apart. My fence gate is just over 8 feet wide. The fence posts are hugh 8" square. If I remove one post and the fence boards to open up can I rebuild ONE side of the gate to a 6...
