    Any problems with this method of insulation for my pole barn ceiling?

    For the walls of my not yet built pole barn, I bought several 4x8 sheets of the thick pink insulation. The plan was to double it up and secure it in place with spray foam (from a can). There was a great youtube video on this that someone showed me that gave me the idea. The plan was to spray...

    Best mig welder for the least amount of money...

    I want to get a welder, and have zero experience. First, I looked into flux core wire welders for $200. They seem messy but would do a lot of little things. Then I looked into stick welders. They seem portable and can do lots of random farm type dirty welding. Some day I want to graduate to...

    How would I go about installing this water booster pump?

    I want to install a water booster pump to my shower line to increase the shower pressure. I started another thread on this but it got way out of hand with people feeding me info on what they thought was my problem. So, I want to stay specific and on topic here about installing a booster pump...

    How can I up the water pressure in my shower?

    I just built my house 2 years ago, and when I designed the shower, I was hoping for some serious water pressure. I think I asked for a 1" water main, but somehow ended up with a 5/8". I have a water softener and PEX plumbing which doesn't help either. I bought a high pressure shower head, and...

    What is a good inexpensive welder to learn with?

    Welding is one of those things I have wanted to learn for a while. I have zero experience but am eager to learn. Later down the road if I become "good" I would like to get a good welder, maybe even drop the loot on a nice TIG welder. But for now, I'm looking for a good cheap welder to learn...

    Anyone ever spray foal insulated their own pole barn?

    My buddy was saying there was somewhere you could buy "kegs" of the spray foam insulation to insulate your own pole barn. After getting a staggering quote from an insulation company to do the job, I would love to hear from someone who has done this themselves, and am very curious what it costs.
