Still looking at options for a garage in Central Florida. I am debating with stick built or pole barn. I know this is quite the argument, but… I won’t have the money to do it all at once, so it will be done in steps. One option I have looked at is a pole barn. I could have it built and open...

Planned shop is 32 x 32, and I want to design functional dormers for the roof that will bring light into the work area. Is there a rule of thumb or something as to what pitch the existing roof should be? thanks Eight

For years I have only used screws for my wood projects. I am looking to simplify my life with a framing nailer. I have built things such as chicken coops, decks, patio covers with roofing, kid's playhouses, a pergola, etc. I would eventually use it to frame my garage (which is only on paper...

Hey guys! I love cruising around this site looking at others shops. A lot of great stuff on here. I am in the "drawing board" phase trying to decide what kind of shop to build. I would love a large shop with lifts etc, but I don't want to cool a large place in the summer (planning for a...
