    Slab depth (future lift)?

    6 inch floor. Fiber is poor replacement for rebar. If you are living in place where you don't have a freeze/thaw cycle you might get by with just fiber. We have one pad that doesn't have bar and after one cyle the control cracks opened up to over 1/2 inch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    HELP! garage door is ****-eyed

    Now that you have the tension off both sides and the spring completely relaxed. Close the door, place a vise grip on the track right above the roller so it can't go up. Then release the drums and check your cable alignment. It's important to have the same tension on each cable or when you...

    Pole Barn Ceiling

    I would use white corrugated steel. Call and have it cut to length. In fact, i would use it on you walls too and run OSB the long way along the bottom. By your main work area it makes sense to use mainly OSB. I say this, because having White for your walls really helps with your lighting and...

    Extension storage question....

    These are a good system. All of theirs are but can get a little spendy. http://s507d6622374d9.img.gostorego.com/809E82/cdn/media/s5/07/d6/62/23/74/d9/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/i/side-ratchet-extension-3-8.jpg

    Welding table top not flat

    Agreed heat is going to be key but with that much surface area you need a lot of it. I have 3 anchors in my floor for situations like this. As you apply heat you use chains and couple ratchet binders to get that puppy flat. Maybe you know someone with a set up like this? Sent from my iPad...

    Better Than a Blue Tarp (The Shop)

I have found some interesting and informative ideas on here; so today thought i would snap a few pic of our place to share. I'm always interested in new efficient ways to work and use space. As i'm...
