I'm thinking about adding a loft in one end of my building. If I use the existing structure as part of the loft frame then it would work out to be 30 x 11 feet. I'm having trouble finding a company in Houston to buy from. I'm thinking 2.5" galvanized tubing. 12ga. The local...

Hey guys, So I'm getting ready to have power ran to my shop from my main breaker panel for the house. See the pic. The main breaker is in 4 sections and says 200A. Is that 200 amps for each leg? (100 amps per section?) I'm thinking about running 100 amp service to the shop. Jim

I"m in a wood house up on blocks. Exposed pipes underneath... I turn off the water where it enters the house. Open up everything wide open. Then blow the pipes out with my air compressor. I do it from my rear outside spigot and my shower with the head removed. I get a lot of rust out...

Hmmm. Well, spay in doesn't seem to be an option since there is the bubble wrap layer already installed by the mfg. It isn't bonded to the skin. It's supported over the frame. Thus, I can't spray anything to it. Seems like the next best option is to use the solid foam stuff and support it...

I thought I'd post a pics of the finished drain/stack. Now I'm waiting on the plumber to come out and run the line across my yard.

Hey guys. Steel "carport style" building. I'm insulating and prepping walls and ceiling for my shop. The walls are going OK. The frame is 2 1/2" square tubing. I put R13 fiberglass behind 1/2" plywood. The builders installed the double bubble type "insulation" next to the outer skin...

James, I needed my plumbing to exit through the wall. It does not go through the slab. I couldn't find any rear outlet toilets in any brick and mortar stores. SO, I ordered it on Amazon. It would be a pita to send back. I'll do like some of the guys suggested and shim and caulk.

Mark, I bought the toilet on Amazon! It's sold by by Signature Hardware. $289 and free shipping. Signature Hardware 941039 Ebler 1.6/0.8 GPF Two Piece Elongated Toilet with Rear Outlet - Seat

SO, new shop. new concrete floor. I bought a rear flush toilet that will go out through the wall. When i was doing the trial fit, I found out that the bottom is not exactly flat. It rocks a little bit. I was concerned about putting the ceramic toilet directly on the concrete...

Oops! OK, I see now. Not sure I understand why a tee is better than a wye but I'll go with the advice. I'll put a tee there and go with that model. Thanks again guys.

59 wagon man, The more complicated pic was my backup idea if I couldn't use the idea in my 1st pic. My 1st pic only has one stack and uses a tee to tie in my sink. The only thing is I used 1.5" pipe instead of 2". Would that still be OK ?

thx guys. The toilet is right at the wall inside the building. It's outlet is centered at 6 1/2" above the floor. You can see where it comes to the santee in my 2nd pic. (comes out of the wall) and then straight down into the 90 which is the end of the sewer pipe. (when I find out how low the...

So, My garage is an empty shell on a slab. No plumbing in the slab. I intend to install a bathroom with a toilet and a sink. I ordered a back outlet model so I can simply go straight back through the wall and then down into the sewer pipe. My question is how to get my sink drain there...

Now that it's up, the double bubble insulation doesn't look like it's going to do much. I'm wondering what others do to insulate a building like this. I don't think a spay on insulation would work since it already has the other stuff?? The frame is 2 1/2" square tubing so the space is...

Joey 1320, The window that you can only see half of?? The white building in front of it is going to be torn down after I get moved in. Currently that's my shop... It's gonna be a lot better.
