I have it in my shop/apartment built in the early 90s. I have never had a problem with the pipe, however the copper tees, elbows, and connectors my plumber used instead of the failure prone poly fittings have begun to fail due to my very hard well water. Not a problem to work with. Must use...

Before diving too deep into this project, I would suggest taking a lot of measurements and finding out how square the walls are in every direction. Not sure how precise corn cribs were laid out in the 50s but would not be surprised to find a lot of variances. This can certainly be worked around...

T o answer your question, yes contaminants on the belt such as oil, antifreeze, grease, and even water will cause some strange noises. Sometimes sounding like popping metal. Try jacking the front wheels up and with the engine running, turn the steering wheel lock to lock several times to remove...

I would suggest not using the existing post and build the loft as self supporting. You should be fine attaching braces to existing post for added stability, just not to support additional weight. Chip.

I painted my floor with a system from Rustoleum for garage floors. I think it was called Epoxy coat. It was a 2 part system and I believe the floor had to be cleaned with muriatic acid before application. It has held up well for nearly 20 years. One bit of advice. If the concrete is fiberglass...

This would be your best bet to retain security of wireless activation. I also agree that you should not be changing batteries so often. Mine went years before requiring replacement.

I understand what you are trying to do, and yes, it would be look nicer with exposed post. However, think ahead to wiring, plumbing for air, lighting, etc. What do you have in mind for these? Unless you plan to install behind the panels, the trouble you go to in order to expose the post would...

Check out CRSpotless.com. I also am on well water and got one of these systems and it works great. I went with a Karcher, low GPM and lower pressure unit off Amazon instead of the EXPENSIVE electric pressure washer featured on their site. I am using the Simple Chuck soap they sell and my black...

I'll bet he is not really getting that you plan to drill through his new pad for structure poles or he doesn't care since he will not be doing the drilling. Without knowing who is building for you, I will tell you that some pole buildings utilize a mount above the slab for attaching the poles...

Some guys just love a fight!

Stay away from the insulation! As stated above, what you are referring to is the vapor barrier and offers almost zero structural value. Age will sometimes cause it to crack and degrade. Any thing you attach to it will only speed up the process. Also, any thing that causes the insulation to...

I recently got the CR Spotless twin cylinder for use on my black Trailblazer. I was not really confident it would do all that they claimed...but was pleasantly surprised. The secret (not really, they tell you to use one on their site) is to run it through a pressure washer to get water...

I see many advantages to this treatment. Looks better and added protection for the roll up doors is just two of them. Chip.

Mine is 12 and I wish it were 14. 12 works fine with my 4 post lift and most cars. My pick-up and the wife's Trailblazer require a little crouching over underneath, not to mention having to be very careful when lifting so close to the ceiling. I have my lift positioned in front of a door without...

I got mine from a place called Metal Building Supply located near Spartanburg, SC. The panels I got were called "Liner Panels", intended for interior use only. They only came in white, and were probably a thinner gauge metal than exterior grade, but were much less expensive and could be ordered...
