we get both, 3' snow and triple digit summers with high humidity. That is why i want to build a big shop, storage for boat, lawnmowers to snowmobiles and snowblowers. thinking about laying foam board on the ground before i backfill with gravel and 2'x4' patio stone any advice? going to put a...

the suzuki is fun, i am thinking of turning it into a mini-Mog. samurai axles and larger tires.

you should ask the guy at town hall how he thinks the telephone/hydro poles are installed.

if you have ever put one of these up in the wind you will know what kind of hour i just had. somehow it was easier by myself than when i had two helpers. Now i just have to plumb the posts and pour the concrete. It just dawned on me that i can fit a bigger boat in here.....hmmm.

paslode, charge fired. no air hose to drag around. bought used for $200; awesome

yes it is a canadian tire one but the second one is from a farm store and unfortunately they don't make brown anymore. going to see if i can find just a replacement cover in brown.

I am basically building a pole barn underneath, may or may not have something to do with the local by-laws; i do not wish to comment further nor reveal 2.0's location. LOL. planning for foam board insulation before next winter. oh and i forgot to mention it is 20'X13' and I miscalculated on...

i like the idea of using it for painting, I plan to leave it up when i get my other shop in for welding and storage. I have been collecting large barn beams and am making furniture out of them. I also made a concrete counter top for the kitchen and I think the extra space might be useful if I...

Doesn't the air pick up the moisture again as it passes through the drops? how often do you have to crack the valves? sorry for the questions, i have just never seen anything like it.

looks nice, just wondering what the deal is with the air piping?
