    Nice first post there Matt... Talk about kicking somebody when they're down.

    New garage help

    I would put the doors on the long side so you have more of a work area to one side of the overhead doors. I think you will need at least 12' ceilings but check the lift you are thinking about to see what it requires. In floor radiant, hands down. Not only is it efficient, it warms the cold...

    Need a new snow blower

    We had a Toro that was a good machine but have always sworn by Airens snow throwers. The Airens Professional series looks awesome!

    Will Snap-on move production to China?

    LOL! Snap On might as well already be in China for all I care. I don't and won't have Snap Off tools in my toolbox. Maybe they should move their entire operation to an emerging nation where outlaws similar to those who operated in the American old west are still common? That way the Snap On...

    So my new shop is sinking!

    Spoken like a true lawyer. :rolleyes2 In my country we have no Montlick & Associates chasing the ambulance to the hospital and there is no 1-800-LAW-NEED, and we are all thankful for that. In this country we don't rush to a lawyer everytime we have a fender bender. Believe me. The last...

    Cold Start Flouresents?

    Fixtures using an electronic ballast will provide some cold start ability. Another option would be low bay Metal Halide lights.

    So my new shop is sinking!

    Not sure about talking to "the bloodsucking lawyers"? That may just be throwing good money after bad in this case. I tend to agree with you that you have little or no legal recourse here, but then I am obviously not a lawyer! Thanking my lucky stars for that. Someone else suggested having the...

    So my new shop is sinking!

    It sounds like they didn't compact enough or at all. In a similar situation in the past a water line had to be dug up under an area that was to be finished with interlocking paving stones. When we filled the excavation we compacted the fill every 12"-18" and poured the water to it in between...

    Duplicate Sockets

    I would say keep them unless you need the money.

    Difficulty of Hanging Drywall?

    Either a lift or a couple of friends with ladders and a case of cool ones. Get yourself a drywall screwgun too if you don't have one. Screws not nails! Screw every 6"-8" around the edges and every 12"-16" on each joist through the sheets. Makes sure you have blocking for the drywall to screw...

    Cat box in the garage ...

    Not to offend...and I can't stand cats...so I think a few well placed SHOTS would solve the cat box problem once and for all. :) Filthy, nasty, pointless, creatures...
