    Above 1200 Sq/FT Barn Workshop build

    Kind of a bad situation - because the original material was flawed (that is not your fault) and the second material was not correct as it wouldn't fit right (again, not your fault). That is a tough one, you hope he makes it right with you. I assume you'll keep doing business with him if he...

    Planning stages of 36x28, need ideas/thoughts

    "I'm thinking about adding bathroom to the garage, we are septic so not sure how that'll work. I talked to the county they won't allow use to install another little tank for the shop" In my county in Iowa - they allow you to add bathrooms as long as you are not adding bedrooms. So I could tap...

    My Altmanville Shed Project

    Salvaged some wood from an old corn crib for my workshop walls. Needed a bath first. Here is a bad picture from Bing maps - birdseye view of the old corncrib. Love the wet look of this old wood. Thinking an oil finish...suggestions welcomed.

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT BJ383SS's Woodshop/Garage

    I’ve always wondered what it would look like if you used steel, then air brushed it to look like the wood slats for the bed floor.

    My new property and ten years to get it ready. Tear down the barn?

    That is what I plan to do with 1 barn and 1 corn-crib I have. I love old barns too - they just are not as usable...you have to decide what you love more. Look forward to see what you do. (I'm just north of Iowa City)

    CAT6 Security system

    GIT is 100% correct - I have made hundreds of cables with the other/old style. I have never heard of these...but they look fantastic. Honestly - the old kind I use would be more problematic. The place where you may get a short is if you were using the cable in a wet environment. You would...
