I want to put windows in both of my 10' tall O/H garage doors, anyone installed a window kit that they were happy with. My doors are Raynor Tri-Core Commercial doors.

I had a thread yesterday in the wrong forum above, so today I did buy the Delta DP 220 Drill Press, it is a 1954 model (I guess from the serial # 54-xxxx) the light switch was broken and the power switch also is broken, do you think I can find exact replacements? if I restore completely, is...

I have been somewhat looking for an older/vintage drill press, I seen this one, not to far away, anyone know about what would be a good price for this? asking $200 Thanks!

I was going to put a fridge in the new barn, have one that is not cooling, compressor and fan inside unit is running, I replaced the defrost timer and the T-Stat, still not cooling, I have less than $20 in parts, but am I wasting my time and $$ on this unit, Frigidaire, about 6 years old. The...

Before I get into filling my pole barn with all my "Stuff" I am going to put some kind of CCTV/Security system in, my only problem is this property is about a mile from my house (I do not live there), it will have electric but I am looking at the most economical way to monitor my premises. Any...

Well, its my lucky day, concrete guy is set up to pour in the morning. I have a 6 mil plastic vapor barrier (seams taped) and most of it is double layer, my PB is 30x48, do I need to seal the floor?, it will only be my F-250 and my E350 parked in here or various, lawnmower, atv ect, floor will...

I was hopeful to get my floor poured tomorrow or the next day, a guy pulls up over there and tells me they are starting to tear down the pump station across the street and will be blasting (The park system will take its place when vacant). He was finishing his survey up and said my pole barn...

I am at the next stage, hopefully pouring the floor here soon. How much fall (slope) from the back to the front of the pole barn should I have?, my PB is 30' deep and 48' wide. My finished floor height inside the building will be higher than my finished metal outside, I was going to put a 3'...

So the building is done and I decided to install my O.H Garage doors. I started on the 10x10 today, the track is plumb, level and square, I have the two springs tightened the same amount of turns (11 whole turns), but the door will not open all the way, do I need to tighten the springs more? is...

My barn is almost done, I have 2 O.H doors that I took down previously, I was wondering if anyone has (Re)installed their own doors? any tips? or should I call a pro? I have a 12x10 and a 10x10 to put up. Thanks

Well, finally started the barn today-30x48x12, hopefully the weather cooperates and it stays dry this week.

I will have 2 O.H doors on the eave side, a 12x10 and a 10x10 (I already have the doors, thats why I went with that size) The permit writer has an issue with my plans, it calls for 2- 2x10 Headers for the trusses and garage doors, he wants a laminated beam above the 12x10 door? My buddy...

What are my options for an overhead trolley or hoist, say 250# max (Probably less) I will have 12' ceiling height. Would the unistrut trolley hold up? Say if I hung a deer up on it (180-200#) or should I have something heavier. I could put up a 20' piece of unistrut, but I have never used the...

I put up a 4 board fence around half of my lot back in the fall, I used treated fence posts and coated the bottom of the posts with asphalt paint (real thick) I was told later that I didnt need to do that?? but was wondering if it is worth while to do the 6x6 posts on my pole barn? or a waste of...

Hopefully we can get some decent weather (Get all the snow and sub zero temps out of here) and get moving forward! Maybe by early spring I will have my 30x48x12 pole barn up.

With all this snow coming down, has anyone had any issues with their pole barn roofs? It doesnt snow a whole lot here at one time very much, we have gotten about 10" of snow in the last 12 hours, just curious! On my pole barn I am set with 6x6 on 8' centers and trusses on 4' centers, not sure...

I have read a few posts on here about metal pole barn windows leaking, I am going to put 2 on one wall of mine (Rain and wind will blow into the windows from this direction) are there certain types of windows to get or say "stay away from" so I dont have leaking windows? Thanks

I will actually be building my barn on property I bought about a mile from my house now, what would be the latest/greatest security that I could setup. I bought a 1.5 acre property with a 115 Y.O farm house on it, this was a foreclosure and all overgrown, I have since, tore down a horse barn and...
