    Here is a Builder's website for ideas

    I found a local builder to me that only builds garages and shops. His website is pretty good for a small contractor. He shows several different projects he's completed and has a very good check list when planning your shop. I don't expect someone from out of this area to use him but I thought...

    My new metal steel garage

    Looks great. If you ever make it up to Tampa I have several hollow metal doors 4' x 7' x 1 3/4" that would make great work bench tops. They're free. I got a few wooden ones too.

    Anyone used VCT tiles as a sort of baseboard?

    You'll have to keep the joints vertical and the bottom joint will be rough unless you floor is 100% flat which it is not. I'd paint it.

    Zoning, specifically, in Charlotte, NC

    Go to the building and zoning dept at the City or County and ask them. They also should have a website that has all local requirems on line.

    Basic workbench

    I have some 7' x 4' x 1- 3/4" solid core wood doors, with red oak skins. Got them from work. I renovate hospitals. These doors are HEAVY and great for work bench tops. Every project I do we throw some away, what a shame. But I can't find people to give them to when I get them.

    Is there some trick to using these (HF) wheel dollies?

    They work great if you don't put the car on them. Just like most **** from HF, they perform great when not used.

    Help Me Get My Variance

    Reduce the size of the driveway to get to required impervious amount. You can alway come back and add a strip of concrete at a later date. I think you're going to lose the battle on the setback. You need let it go. Put these three items in priority and see which one is a gotta have. They...

    What are they coating VCT with in Target??

    To tell you the truth, I know what it is but I don't know the details on how it is applied. Ask a janitoral supplier.

    floor drain question

    I'm a contractor and I built a warehouse once and the owner wanted 1 floor drain. According to local codes we had to put in a two compartment, PRECAST CONCRETE oil/water seperator with related piping. It wasn't an itemized price but the thing cost +/- $15,000 by the time we were done. Between...
