I’ve always liked articulated dumps… ;)

Typically it is the other way around. The 5’ lengths are about 85% of the cost of the 10’ lengths.

People tell me that I’ve gone overboard - quarter acre lot in town with a motorcycle, two cars, three trucks, equipment trailer, skidloader, and mini excavator. I’ll just show them pictures of your collection the next time they get on me. :thumbup:

The first thing would be to make sure you understand the requirements of your local jurisdiction. This is particularly important if you’re going online for plans. I recently had a potential client telling me how I had to be able to meet the price of an online plan house. I countered by pointing...

You can’t vent a HE furnace through a chimney and you can’t vent a non-HE furnace through the wall. Basically the difference is the temperature of the exhaust. The exhaust for a HE furnace is cool enough that it won’t rise up a chimney. Initially they had tried using a smaller flue put down the...

Depending on who you talk to, you’ll hear the terms “crown,” “cap,” “wash,” or “splay” - and probably others as well. That’s part of the reason that construction documents have drawings as well as specs - to make sure everyone is talking about the same thing. I regularly encounter people...

What sort of metal roof? Corrugated? Standing seam? Other? Typically, as has been mentioned, formation of ice dams is the symptom of other issues. Heat loss from the building melts the snow from underneath and then the meltwater refreezes and causes the dam. Heat tape (and similar) is more of...

What was the size on the drop? To me, you’re talking just a couple feet for a “drop.”

The manufacturer will have span tables available for exactly what you propose.

I wouldn’t be throwing salt up on a metal roof. A properly done metal roof shouldn’t have any issues with ice accumulating in the valleys. I’d just leave it alone.

I was wandering around a department store recently and was checking out some exercise equipment. For the prices they were charging, I was horrified at how bad the welds and finishes looked. Although it would probably hold up and it’s only exercise equipment, it’s depressing how little concern...

Identical as near as I can see: http://www.harborfreight.com/garage_journal.html http://www.harborfreight.com/digitalsavings.html?hftref=cj

Came together nicely!

OH MY GOD!!! THE HORROR!! THE HORROR!! :p

Too many variables to have a generic list. For example, do you have any electrical, plumbing, Heat/AC, etc that will have to go under the floor before it is placed? ;)

Yep. New to this site - it’s new construction.

Stainless steel door kick plate.

Listen to this guy. The first three in bold will decide the fourth item. If there are no plans or other documents on it, you could end up paying an engineer a lot of money to confirm to the building department that it is suitable for your needs.

If that is the case, I’d be happy to help out and use them. But I’d have thought Ryan would mention that.

Just for reference, here is the architectural set for a tenant fit-out I did the other month. This was just for moving some walls and putting in new toilet rooms - nothing outside the existing building walls, structural changes, new utility connections, or such. There were also four more sheets...
