    Water/rain under garage door

    My Home Depot has tool rental. I know they have concrete grinding rentals. Is this what you would suggest renting? Not sure if I can set those at an angle to create the slight slope needed.

    Water/rain under garage door

    It looks like the grinding disc that can attach to a grinder is about $45 at Home Depot. Never used one before so not sure how much work it would take to grind down 10ft by 5” Not a concern for me hosing out the garage or sweeping Just want to stop the water from coming in Also thought of...

    Rain/water under garage door

    One side of my shop (the older side) has a single garage door which I open and close manually. It has always had a water/rain intrusion issue when we get a lot of heavy rain. Two years ago I replaced the bottom of the door seal and it didn't help much. I'm pretty sure the concrete under and on...

    Finding a house w/ suitable shop (techniques)

    As others have said, patience is a key too. Took us over a year to find the right fit for us. You may also have to consider finding a house with suitable land to build the shop you want. We've been in our new place about a year now and it had a 600sqft detached garage already which I added...

    Lift placement in shop

    That's a good point too. I'll have to think about that. I'm planning to get some dollys like GoJaxs if I need to move cars around. I think having access to both bays to unload a car if I want to back my car trailer in leans me more towards the lift in the back.

    I'm trying to think of the best place to place a 2 post lift in my shop. It is 40'wide by 50'long Attached are 2 pics. I'd like to also build a loft somewhere on the back wall in the future.

    I'm planning to do 4 skylights. 1 walk in door on the back side 1 14x12 rollup door For air curculation I figured I'd get some big fans. I also may add AC to the existing building since it already has heat. Then I can add some vents into the new bld for cooling. I decided to go against 2 3x5...
