Thanks. The RaceDeck is fresh and was just installed last week. I'll keep an eye out for that though. And about the paint...I KNOW! It's killing me. I've been patching holes from old Gladiator strips and rearranging wall hangings. I think the setup on the wall is just about done now and...

I've made several updates over the last couple years, but they've been subtle adjustments to my tool storage, detailing gear, and wall hangings. Recently, I went through with something I've been wanting to do before I moved into this house...RaceDeck Freeflow tile flooring. These latest pics...

Well the New Age cabinets have been in for about a month and a half and I love them. I went with the Bold Series and you'll see the arrangement I opted for in the photos below. I've also added some Wall Control metal pegboard for storing some car cleaning tools. I'd like to get a few shelves...

Great elaboration! I am a licensed PE specializing in civil & structural and can help with quick questions if needed. Depending on whether or not you need a building permit for the work you're doing, you may need to have a PE licensed in your state design (or at least review) and stamp a...

Thanks Bruce.

Lumberton, TX (north of Beaumont) by way of New Orleans, LA My wife and I, both civil/structural engineers, moved to the area in late 2006 to help our company start up a second office. We've been here ever since and think it's a great place to raise our growing family. We purchased a new home...

For a really really rough approximation, you could generally start with sizing a steel beam to span roughly one foot per half inch of beam depth (assuming a wide flange section). For example, a W12 would be good for about a 24 foot span and might even be good for more depending on the loading...
