Wow, for $18k you could have 50+ Harbor Freight 44" boxes :D

After working on my barn 12 hours a day every weekend last late summer & fall Mondays started to become my favorite day of the week. I could come into work, set a my desk and actually relax!

Pretty much what everyone else has stated. I'm very happy with my Craftsman, and while the NiCad works for a little while, the Lion are much better. Watch for sales. I already had the impact/NiCad and was looking to upgrade the batteries and I picked up a 3/8" drill/Lion/charger combo for...

Very cool! That shadowing really makes those letters look 3d.

I've owned 2 sets of the adapt-a-ball version (the kind with the hex shaft) for probably close to 20 years without any issues. One is set up on a 2" drop, and the other on a 6" drop, so no matter what trailer/truck combo I use I've got it cover with two hitches instead of having six laying around.

Maybe a receiver mount for the vise? That way it's sturdy and readily available, but not in your way when you don't need it.

Yes, and believe it or not, she's the one who pushed me to get it built. I had planned on waiting another couple years to get the house paid off, but she got tired of having nice stuff all covered in grime from our crappy dirt floored barn. Now if she'd only take care of the other manly needs...

I would go as high as you can. 11'ish high with low headroom track, and you don't have to go "commercial" to get larger sizes. Wayne Dalton(and a lot of the other companies) will make their standard build doors in custom sizes(If I recall it's in 3" increments?) 12' wide is nice too! I've got 3...

8' between trusses would definitely cause bowing. Mine are at 4' and the stuff from Menards worked fine, no bowing at all with 10" of cellulose blown on top.

I put the ceiling up as is, then ran J channel around the entire top for the walls to tuck in to. Also used J at the start of each wall(vertical), but not at the ends, the J start for the next wall covers this up. As far as the floor I didn't use any trim, but I did make sure to put the cut...

Thanks again. I decided against making the 40 minute drive to the store and just ordered them online last night. I didn't want to be disappointed with the in store selection, and shipping was only $14 for 11 signs.

Cool find! I haven't been to the store yet to see what they have in stock, but just did a little searching on the website and they've got quite a few cool signs @ 50% off. I might run to the closest store tonight and see what they stock. Way to make me spend money!

Do a search for "loading dock lights" or "dock lights" They use them all the time on loading docks to light up the semi trailer so a lift trucks can see what they're doing. This is just a quick example of what I'm talking about. I'm sure you don't want to spend this much, but I'm sure there are...

Fyi, Harbor Freight does list storage cap of their cabinets: 44"= 14,200 cu. in. 56"= 28,200 cu. in. 72"= 34,300 cu. in.

I heat it when I'm out there, but that's it. So far the coldest it's actual been in the shop this winter has been 38º, and that's been after no heat for several days and below zero temps at night. They take a couple minutes to warm up to full brightness, but that gives me time to turn the heat...

I know this isn't an apple to apples comparison based on location and everything, but last summer I had a 48'x64'x14' pole barn with a 4" slab, 2 entry doors, and framed for 5 overhead doors(I did these separately) and it was just over $40k. $0 for permit(zoned ag.) $2,000 site prep $30,000...

These are what I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FRCUHY/?tag=atomicindus08-20 "Kim Outlet" appears to be out of stock right now, but they were $22 a pair shipped when I bought them. I have a 48'x64' barn with 14' ceilings and I love them. I have it divided down the middle and...

Finally got my Home Theater projector in, so I figured I'd give you an update. Over Christmas I picked up some 1x4's and blackout cloth to make my own projector screen. I had originally wanted to just hang it on the wall in my barn, but with my camper parked in that bay it would have meant...

Thank you. It's just a $89 TSC parts washer without the legs. I did have to modify the power switch for it which normally mounts on the outside of the tub. I just extended the wires underneath and ran it to a normal light switch in conduit on the end of the cabinet. Also the normal switch box...

After having 16 days off for the Holidays I've got a little bit more accomplished in the barn.Got my Cabinets all built/painted and I'm quite happy with the end results. I built 16' lower cabinets out of 3/4" ply, and ended up going with 3/4" solid oak flooring on top of 3/4" mdf for the...
