You may be referring to pressed wood, like MSD? It swells and turns to applesauce when you get it wet unless it's been sealed/painted. OSB tends to do ok when it gets wet but i wouldn't want to because of mold. Normally when used on the exterior it is covered with Tyvek or some other sort of...

Just about any sign shop supply company carries large sheets of aluminum and various metals in all thickness' and virtually any color. For you Atlanta/North Georgia area people http://www.alumapanel.com/ in *******, GA has just about anything you can imagine.

Normally all indoor systems are wet while any outdoors, under canopies, etc. in climates that have freezing conditions are dry. A wet system with anti-freeze in it once was the normal setup but that's rarely if ever done anymore. The dry system consists of a small compressor that charges all the...

Probably needs some sort of cross bracing or closer studs to attach it to? *edit* oh, i got it! Put a sheet of OSB or 1/4" plywood under it and drill out each hole! hahaha

Lowes has 4' x 8' sheets of brushed aluminum tile & peg board and i'm tempted to go that route... (you can get it plain white for alot less too, used for paneling showers) http://www.decpanels.com/metallics.html#

That's true and not sure what it would cost to install a small non-commercial system. Good points but I wouldn't really be concerned with a fire while in the shop, like you said a fire extinguisher should be able to put one out instantly...the main issue is while being away. There is no way a...

I'm not too familiar with coating the VCT but hot tires will normally pull it up when you pull in plus leave rubber marks you'll never be able to get off. I've seen it used in everything from home garages to auto shops to go-kart race trailers and it always ends in the same result. Has clear...

I recently started working in mechanical design with a fire sprinkler company and just curious if many on here have installed sprinkler systems in their shops/garages? (yeah, i did a search!) Before going mechanical I did architectural design for 3 years and civil engineering for 4 so i'm always...

I'm a little late on this thread but there's a fire station for sale in Atlanta just behind the Georgia Tech campus. Everytime i'm in the area I make a point to drive by and dream & drool over it...still for sale and still wanting $1.3 Million including the two building on either side and a...

Anyone run central air. as in an air line with multiple connections down a wall, overhead, or even built into the front of a workbench...? Since my main workbench is in the center of the shop area i'm thinking of running it above the ceiling and directly above the workbench where i can hang a...

...I feel like i'm talking to myself. Was in Lowe's yesterday and they carry brushed "stainless" panels, I think the tileboard style would look good on the bottom 4 feet but that stuff is $21.00 a sheet, ugh! http://www.decpanels.com/metallics.html Wonder how a cherry or similiar wood...

Practically 1 in 5 posts is questions regarding flooring but what about the walls? I'm trying to determine the best interior alternative to the usual drywall for my detached shop/garage and, due to the expense, i don't really like the idea of trial and error... The first option was the same...
