Ya I needed to, after looking at the mess in my 20x40 barn.

My first post was to not spend the money on this property. I wouldn't. I would wait until I could move. He will not get the value of what he spends when he sells it. And its not worth spending all that money for what he is getting. But if you wanted to know, I park my trucks outside. I have...

Agree. This seems like just a place to park, if you live in a subdivision and can't park outside. I have a 20x40. If I wanted to park autos I would do 40x25 or 30. 30x60?? So I could pull in and back out. Maybe that would give you some room in the back. Either way I have this long narrow...

I'd make the windows as high as what meets your vision. Atleast work benches, and low stuff. The comment about cars sitting in front of windows looking odd from outside also seems something to consider. Even you want a view, does it have to be so many windows? Pick a spot to sit and look...

He asked for opinions. Only good thing is the upstairs so his wife can store Christmas decorations.

Being in vegas, won't the windows just bring more light and heat in? It looks cute, like it is in some yuppie subdivision for a guy wants to park his cars inside. Put windows up high for light. Don't let martha stewart convice you get southern exposure in your garage.

Friend of mine is a mechanic, and I work once in awhile with him on my projects. Those are handy, little better cleatance than a socket too. His are snap on. rathcet wrenches in all the different types have probably replaced these, but these get into tighter spots and are on my someday list...

What is the difference? Never crossed my mind. What might cross my mind these days, is who makes one where you can read the sizes? Giant font. Never tried any but like the idea that harbor frieght has by using colors, wonder why no one else does.

I like nothing about it, needs more wall space. More space for items other than cars. Is this just for your wife?

One of my pole barns is 20 wide and 40 deep. previous owner built it for RV. I do not like it, things get parked in the back. Looks like you have doors in the back for that. Then you lose all that wall space. But either way you lose wall space for garage doors. I suppose it depends on your...

They do have animal guards in stations. Either they cover it, or put discs up. The problem is longer animals that can touch energized part and also touch the pole or something grounded. Probably better, but still happens. raccoons especially.

I suppose i should remember that from school. But never heard it after school. I doubt it would be a factor in distribution, which is where most people push for underground. transmission lines in most areas are kept clear enough of trees. Though i had a short outage when an insulator less...

Longer than that here. They have opened warming shelters.

I'd be curious the cost break down. You are shipping in poles of steel or wood, unless they are mining and taking that ore to steel in those countries. But I get your point..

In US transmission is 69 kV and up and would not be going to your house, and would have lots of clearance, at least in the US it would. How about the country side is the that steel too? It would just seem like with the miles we have in US, it would get expensive. Wood does last a long time...
