I'm planning my pole barn build for this spring and the builder didn't mention anything about Tyvek/house wrap, but they're putting up the insulation and liner panel. The current plans call for metal roof & siding, R19 batts on the sides, R30 blown in on the ceiling, metal liner panel interior...

Over the course of the few years its been taking me to plan my garage, I've seen a few posts here where people state that fastening the in floor PEX to the insulation or rebar is critical so it doesn't float to the top. I've also read that the PEX should be pressurized so it doesn't get crushed...

I'm about to sign a contract on Friday for a 32x50 pole barn and need some general wiring suggestions. The barn will be insulated which includes liner panel and I would rather not run conduit to all my outlets and lights. What is a good method to hang the panel and fixtures while avoiding the...

I'm getting ready to sign a contract for my pole barn and need to decide if I want gutters and snow guards. Having never owned a building with a metal roof I don't know if the snow guards are necessary. The garage will be 30 (or 32) by 50 and it needs to be built on about 2 feet of fill my...

My wife and I bought this house almost 2 years ago and I put up new garage door openers at that time. Everything was fine until my wife backed into a half open door. The short version of that story is that she got home seconds after I did so I hit the button to open her garage door. Of course...

The problem with my jack is that it leaks down while holding a load, quick enough that positioning jack stands is a problem. I've read through the jack rebuilding thread on here looking for references to the AFF 200T jack. I found some good information but unfortunately some of the info was...

I've been planning my garage for too long and now I'm rethinking the overhead door placement. The garage will be 30x50x12 with doors on the 30 foot side facing the street, one will be 15 foot wide and the other 10 foot wide. The 10 foot width was determined by the width of my open car trailer...

I'm about to give up on getting my garage built this year all because I can't get an excavator to come out and give me a price that makes sense to me. -I can't remember how many places I've called with absolutely no call back, at least 10 (more like 15) -one guy with walk behind equipment said...

I'm planning a 30 x 50 garage for later this year. It will be a working garage with welding, grinding, and cars coming in out of elements. Like everyone else here I would like a zero maintenance good looking floor, but I'm not a fan of color chips in the floor anyway. My builder quoted the...

My garage walls are 8 feet tall with a flat ceiling and I desperately want a lift. The car I mainly work on is a Firebird, it stands 50" tall which means I can only get the car 46" off the ground. The township limits garage heights to 15' tall, my peak is 13' high now. Ideally 10 foot walls...

My garage has some crappy floor paint on it now and Home Depot has this http://www.tfiinc.com/pearl/surface_prep.htm to rent, $75 for 24 hours. At the bottom of the page "17" Hawk Buffer". It looks like it will dig into the concrete and send me spinning! The guy working there wasn't sure if...
