I have a 30x50x14 metal building with a 6/12 pitch roof. There is plenty of room above my two 10x10 overhead doors that would make a good loft area. I came across some I-beams and my idea has been to use the I-beams for some of the loft structure but I also want it to double as an I-beam...

Well... I'm going to air my dirty laundry hoping to gain some sort of motivation from the interwebs... I have a mess on my hands and I am fed up. I have to take control of it and I figured I might as well start a thread about it Any motivation you can send my way will help. When my shop is a...

We are selling our current house and will be renting for approximately two years. The rent house was built in 1970 and I'm guessing the two car detached garage was built soon after. There is also a workshop area attached to the garage. I haven't taken measurements yet. The bad: The roof over...

Another summer is around the corner and I am thinking about an air conditioner for the garage again. I came across a guy selling a GE 3200 Series Zoneline, which are commonly used in hotel rooms. I gave $100 for it, which seemed like a fair deal to me. It is a 2000 model and in great shape from...

My brother gave $75 for this. Cleaned the carb and it fires up and runs good. Haven't had a chance to check voltage etc yet. Have plugged in some tools and they worked fine. A google search doesn't reveal a whole lot of information.

Hi all. First off, I will not start on any new garage project for at least one year, and most likely two years. I like to really have things planned out and I want to pay cash for everything I can. :) I would like this thread to be a discussion on my idea: to highlight the good, the bad, and...

My 2-car garage has concrete floors with drywall and no bottom trim. I want to be able to pressure wash my floors occassionaly and get close to the edges. I tried once to just stay clear of the sides, but water still ran up under the baseboards which I really don't want. I've seen approx. 6"...
