    Tractor Supply Deals Thread

    Was a foreman for a commercial glass company for the last few years and 80% of our guys would use mostly flexvolt batteries. I mean we always had a rotation of tools getting fixed but i think it was just from the rigors of commercial construction......never really noticed it being anything to do...

    2020 Home Depot Clearance Thread

    Phillips or torx head? I won't buy anything wood related with a phillips any more. Did a pole shed and had so many strip out on me and then i discovered the reliability of the torx head screws and can't go back.

    Building a shop/hangar. Simple questions.

    We have 3 or 4 big hangars now and have had quite a few different doors. There is really only one to get. Let me get the name for you but its very simple operation and the seals are amazing. We always had to fight the bugs/leaves/loss of conditioned air until we built these last few hangars with...

    53' shipping container ideas?

    Buy two more 20 foot containers. Put a rock base under the containers and **** the 20's up to the 53 which will leave both ends exposed on the 53. Pour concrete in the center. Cover the span. Cheaper than a metal building and you can cut your own doors into the containers that suit your needs...

    Pole barn in E. TX - - 5 Starr or Rob-Bilt?

    Mueller makes a great building. Built very well. May be pricier than local shops. There is a place in Navasota which may be a bit of a drive depending on how deep east you are but they do deliver and are supposed to be well built.

    Garage tunes

    I like music and have a full 5 speaker set up in my garage. But for those that don't want to go the built in rout or like the idea of being able to take it with you for other events i'd recommend the ION Block Rocker. I'm amazed at how loud this thing gets with no distortion. I'd bet you can...

    Costco whole house generator?

    We've got a good friend north of Dallas that does all the electric for Verizon cell towers and has to replace the "old" generators every 8 years because that's Verizon's policy. They are mostly Generac Series 2000 or Kohlers and he buys the ones with under 400 hours of mainly exercise time and...

    Help me build a wall-mounted ladder in my barn

    I know she said she wanted wood but black iron and wood go great with the rustic look. My thoughts for appearance would be number 1. My thoughts for ease, utility, minimalist look is 2. I also think this would look really good too. Space 4 or 5 of these out with about 6" pipe coming from the...

    basement floor for puppies

    We built birthing boxes that were 5'x5' with a disc shaped (looked like a cast iron pan) warmer built into it. Momma would stay with them for the first few weeks and then when they got big enough we would move them to a regular pen with some regular blamets/padding that we could throw away after...
