Too much stuff in a garage! No not possible. There is always a place for one more thing. See there is plenty of room.:beer:

Post on a concrete footing and filled to grade with CA6 (road pack) will last twice as long as posts in a concrete filled hole. Drainage is the key. I know of many post buildings on area farms that are from the 50's and 60's and still in use. My 32' X 33' pole building addition to my 22' X 22'...

Over the years I have bought two lifts from Garage Equipment Supply. Each time they were close to the best price and free shipping. I had one issue each time and they were prompt in resolving them. One was the box with the three drip pans had been bent by the shipper and the pans (plastic) were...

Recently on a new cable show "Million Dollar Rooms" showed a 15,000 sq. ft garage with a 15,000 sq. ft. basement. The building was designed to look like a mansion to disguise that it was a garage. On the ground floor was about 30 motorcycles. 6 of each of the 2003 anniversary models of HD...

Re: What did you do to your garage today? Began the long overdue cleaning, clearing and putting back all the little piles here and there from past projects. I used to put everything back when I finished a project, but now that I am retired the idea crept into my head that I have time to do it...

One cu. yd. of crushed stone is 1.8 tons. CA6 (aka road pack) If you are going to order stone for a project. Here is the formula to calculate how many tons that you need. L X W X H X 1.8. L= length W= width H= height . Use the same unit for all. Every unit expressed as feet. For asphalt use...

I have no idea how to do that. And you should see my basement! 50 bicycles, 7 motorcycles, 7 vehicles, a 32' X 4' loft, a 22' X22' loft and 60' of bench/counter top all filled to overflow.

My garage is the original 22' X 22' two car garage with a 33' X 32' addition with a 12 foot ceiling in the new part. I went with R50 above the ceiling and R30 in the wall. The garage OH door and the two man doors are R13. I had a hanging 45K BTU Modine gas furnance installed and set at 65...

I store 5 sports cars, five motorcycles, a truck, trolling motor battery, trailer brake back up battery and two extra motorcycle batteries for over five years now. A tender is the right piece of equipment for your needs that will float the battery at it's top level. I use the Schumacher 1.5...

It looks just like the lift that my dad had in his Sinclair Station service garage built in 1952. It was pneumatic powered not hydraulic. It worked great until the state bought him out in the 70's to put in a road. When at full lift, it had a steel arm that you pivoted down as a safety stop it...

My garage door is 20 X 7. When the old one was at the end of its life and I was going to heat the garage, I went to Raynor for a new one. They did come out and measured for themselves as they would for any order. I got the one with R13 insulation, two windows and all the metal braces, tracks...

I use the service record that is available with microsoft works.

In farm land fences only go on the property line. Not like zoning rules in city. The need for a fence of farmland can be a unilateral decision but the obligation to pay half was settled by courts in the last century. A gate in the field area is not indicated. The farmer my have to go down the...

Once the fence is up send the farmer the bill for have of it. Around this country each farm is responsible for half the fence. If he doesn't pay take him to small claims court.

My youngest son has needed to know how every thing works since he was little. He is now 27 and is a certified ASE master mechanic. He added certificates in mig welding, tig welding, residential electrics, commercial electrics, HVAC and does framing, tiling and dry wall. There are about 500...

When a friend of mine retired to Punta Gordon a number of years ago, he built a block house. He related to me that it was required to drop in rebar and then fill with concrete. That seemed like a very good method to build a cinder block house that could withstand high winds. That would not...

That is a great price. 2 years ago I paid $2,100 for mine delivered. That included the drip pans, caster kit and jack tray. A real value.

My 33'x32' 12' ceiling pole barn has 8' spacing. That is very common in northwest Illinois. The trusses are 2x10 southern yellow pine which is very strong and gets stronger as it ages. They are more than sufficient for area winds and snow loads.

I was told that the floor cannot use an epoxy finish if it has been sealed. I did have mine sealed to help reduce dust. Now, I am wondering it I should have. I might like to have the epoxy floor at some point.
