    Good compressor for my home garage?

    This one seem to be a bit cheaper but I heard they are good compressors? I never used one. Most I have seen are 700. and up. http://www.menards.com/main/p-1444439609007-c-12910.htm?tid=8509997441034168283

    adding a half a story or so

    I got a quote from the menards truss store with a 6' attic and was only 53. a piece. I think it would be a lot quicker this way. Thanks for the ideas.

    Has anyone tried this for a work shop?

    I always thought that one of these would be cheap and easy.I want to get one but will not work on my lot. It is cheap for the area you get...

    adding a half a story or so

    I got a truss store estimate, but they only gave me 3 and 1/2 feet head room and I have that now. I sent an email back and ask for 6 to 8' head room. I have a feeling it will be the hip wall instead the pitch on the roof with trusses is going to be a lot to get thwe head room. They said it would...

    adding a half a story or so

    I was thinking the same thing the 4/12 is really flat and does not look that great to me. The 10/12 looks like a real pita to roof and I'm not getting any younger. The only stuff I have stored in it is woodworking wood and bike and truck stuff. It makes it really crowded when you start on a...

    adding a half a story or so

    I was trying to find out the prices for 16' wide room in attic trusses and menards was not any help so I had to leave a message. 24' wide are 194. each need 11= over 2000. Not that they are right but 16' after taxes may be close? I'm not sure where to get some in central IL cost might be kinda...

    adding a half a story or so

    I dont know about the trusses as they look like you would loose a lot of storage space? Unless the pitch was something kinda crazy? It is only 16 foot wide. I dont know I can look on menards site they have The Truss Store. It may be cheaper? Would I need to add some support for the floor? I can...

    adding a half a story or so

    Hi, I have an 16x20 garage, needs a new roof. I was needing more space but money is tight right now. I was thinking going up would solve a lot of problems, not all, but several. I was thinking that it would be best to build a platform then add short walls to it? I can do carpentry work but will...

    making garage bigger

    If it is the same as the garage then it should work out. Thats good. I'm thinking about putting 2 x 10's for the rafters and adding a hip wall of 2 or 3 foot for a little extra storage.I'm not sure if that will work but dont see any problems with it. I'm thinking 2 x 4 walls should hold it up, I...

    making garage bigger

    I have a 16 x 20 garage and want to double the width to 32 x 20. I do woodworking and work on my own truck and bike. It is a slab with a 4 " raised curb. I do not mind leaving the 4 walls up and just add to them because of the wood dust from the woodworking. I am just wondering if it would be a...

    Need suggestion on audio equipment for garage

    I must be cheap. I have a mp3 player with a old set of computer speakers. It sounds fine to me and if I turn it up all the way you can hear it next door.The best thing for me is it takes up no space at all. You could add a cheap boom box with output and add to it. I'm poor/cheap though...

    What happened to Jeep garage?

    :rolleyes: Got to say it, Barbie called and she wants her jeep back :p I had a 46 willies along time ago 4 cylinder L head 10/15 tires and a top speed of 45. Windows would frost up in 10 seconds and never defrost until warm weather. It was a blast. Lots of nice looking jeeps on here. :drool:

    28x40 garage wall falls who to blame???

    I feel bad about the wall and your situation, but I have to ask why did you fill in all that space instead of using it for storage or anything else. I am thinking 7k in rock is a lot to have no space it seems like it would have been cheaper to fix the walls as a room. I have very little...

    Bought an old small compressor today.

    Dont know about the oil but would think oil is oil? The oil now is probly better. I would try to tell what kind of oil it has in there now. I can tell you I cant put certain oil in my old suzuki cause it has roller bearings. If it isnt broke dont fix it. I would be more worried about the tank...
