The sewer issue has been an ongoing debate for decades in our city. We were part of Portland back before the 60's. When a major highway was to be built that would cut through a stand of old growth Doug Firs and split our neighborhood from the adjoining Butte, the residents of the neighborhood...

The entire area I live in is on cesspool systems and with the way the septic systems here have to be designed and built in our county, that really is the going rate. Many of the cesspool systems have been failing over the last couple years in neighboring homes and the avg price has been $25k...

Nuttsgt, if I built new, I would sub the foundation work but do the rest myself. The building is 100% shop space and no vehicles other than motorcycles have even gotten parked in their since Ive owned it. New would be 24 w x 36d.

I guess I shouldnt put the priority list all on the wife. Our home was built in 1928 and while its great overall, we are on a cesspool system (yes, not even septic). We need to do a kitchen remodel and a dormer upstairs (which includes adding one bathroom) to make it fit the growing family...

I was hoping to get a few different points of view from you all. I currently have a 20x20 detached garage that has it share of issues. Most significantly, the foundation is crumbling in places and while the front and side walls are ok, the rear of the foundation has crumbled enough to allow...

I haven't worked on my future shop plans for a while, but here's a couple sketchups from a work project.

I bought a water cooled version of the Invertig 201 a few years back. I had been using Miller equipment for nearly a decade prior to buying this and it's performed rock solid for me. Also, the customer service from the company has been excellent...

You must have meant TDI :bounce:

Here's a photo of my Logan turret lathe before I moved into my new shop.

While the Syncrowaves are great machines, there not thge smallest thing out there if space is a concern. The HTP Invertig is equivalent to the Miller Dynasty 200 without the $6000 suggested retail. Sometime Jeff at HTP has demo units to be had for even cheaper.

HTP Invertig 201 I paid $2600 delivered with a watercooler/torch. Has worked flawlessly for 2yrs so far and HTP customer service is great. The comparable Miller machine I was looking at prior to purchase was closer to $4500 out the door.

Here's my 20x20 shop. Hoping to push it back another 16ft and widen it out a bit with a partial second story but for not it'll do.
