    Cutting polyiso insulation.

    How do you cut polyiso insulation? I tried cutting one side with a razor knife and braking it like with sheetrock but it doesn't give a clean cut. It is 3 1/2" thick so my circular saw doesn't make it either. Any ideas? Thanks

    High bay lights

    Part of my building is storage only, I will not be working in there. I was looking at these lights. Do you think 4 of these would be good enough to light the area? 35x50x15 https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/tls/d/calumet-city-high-bay-lights/6967188104.html

    commercial door opener

    I posted last week about the wall mounted door openers and I think I am not going to go that route. Now I am thinking a commercial opener. My door is 10' high. Can I cut off 4' from a 14' trolly. Is there enough adjustment to set the up/down limit?

    Painting rafters

    I have come to the conclusion that there is no way I am going to get my roof fixed this year. It has been exposed to the elements for at least 2 years now. I bought the property 2 yrs ago. Is there any kind of sealer I can put on the rafters to keep them from rotting? Would a stain be better...

    My garage floor has two cracks and some busted concrete about 2" wide and 1/4" deep under the garage door. Water runs under the seal in these cracks. At a factory I used to work at they used some kind of epoxy to fix floors. It actually held up pretty good, even with heavy fork lift traffic...

    Rounded roof
