My Lennox dual fuel system is 7 years old and the only problem I've had was the check valves in the a/c which effected every brand that used them. Been very happy with it so far but be sure to find a reputable dealer as that's more important than the brand IMO. If it's not sized properly or...

When I built my shop five years ago I couldn't find anything about what to do under the doors and it gets cold here in Ohio. What I did was bring my 2" foam right across the door opening when I did the perimeter. We put a 6" composite deck board on top of it for the door to seal against to form...

Nice bench. It's almost the exact same thing I'm building. Same size top but my legs are going to be different. It looks like you have the same welder as I and I'm planning on putting my welder underneath my bench so it's a portable welding station so to speak. I want to save floor space so I'm...

I bought a set of these and got them yesterday. What an awesome deal! Just what I wanted for my welding bench I'm building. I've got in some deals posted here so I'm sharing mine with you. Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250417026234&viewitem ALBION INDUSTRIES...

I went with OSB 4' up from the floor and then 5/8" drywall for the rest. IMO most of the damage will occur at 4' or lower.

Thanks Truxx for the information!

I have a large wall mural that I want to sell. I attached pictures of it so you can see what it is. The overall size is 13' w X 6' h. The image is 13' w X 64.5" h. It's printed on heavy vinyl for outside use. I have no idea what this was for or what it was advertising. It is new and since it's...

I scored two yesterday at my local Lowes. Had to talk to the manager & explained the deal to him (I had a printout from the SC store) & he gave me the price. I asked if I could get two & he said yes. They still had two more in stock. Thanks to the OP for the heads up!

No windows for me - I was broken into once & don't want that to happen again. Of course they came in thru the window. :mad: My garage has no windows but realized over the years it's too cave like in there, so when I added on for my workshop I put in one gable window (13' high) & two skylights...

I have my old Yamaha HT receiver in my shop. I have a full surround sound set up in there & generally listen to classic rock stations via the internet (no radio due to light buzz). I also jack my MP3 player in & listen to that as well. :bounce:

You're right but 12' probably won't be enough for a standard lift with a clear floor lift. That's what I ran into. I asked the truss maker how much higher the inside peak could be & still meet the snow load code & they got an extra 14" to make it 13' 2" inside peak height. That makes it high...

Did you happen to my thread about my shop? It sounds like we are in the same situation. :thumbup: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31786

The 10' is sill & I have a 13' inside peak height. I would of had 12' peak but that was not enough so that's why I had custom trusses made.

Thanks everybody! Don't worry, it's been dirty already! I need to keep doing side jobs to keep the project going. LOL Got an engine job to finish up in the next few weeks & there are more tools & equipment in there now. zrxrider, the only problem I've have with height was with a full size van...

Hi everyone. I put this up about a year ago & have been working on it over the Winter finishing the inside. Not quite all done yet but thought I would post my progress so far. I've been on here once in awhile to get a few ideas & there are plenty here. I wish I could spend more time on here but...
