Where are you in South Florida?

$225 installed commercial work. Less with a little guy doing it.

I found a local builder to me that only builds garages and shops. His website is pretty good for a small contractor. He shows several different projects he's completed and has a very good check list when planning your shop. I don't expect someone from out of this area to use him but I thought...

Looks great. If you ever make it up to Tampa I have several hollow metal doors 4' x 7' x 1 3/4" that would make great work bench tops. They're free. I got a few wooden ones too.

You'll have to keep the joints vertical and the bottom joint will be rough unless you floor is 100% flat which it is not. I'd paint it.

Go to the building and zoning dept at the City or County and ask them. They also should have a website that has all local requirems on line.

I have a 7' metal door that my vice is bolted to, a 4' x 4' rolling table with a wooden door top and another workbench with a wooden top.

I have some 7' x 4' x 1- 3/4" solid core wood doors, with red oak skins. Got them from work. I renovate hospitals. These doors are HEAVY and great for work bench tops. Every project I do we throw some away, what a shame. But I can't find people to give them to when I get them.

They work great if you don't put the car on them. Just like most **** from HF, they perform great when not used.

Reduce the size of the driveway to get to required impervious amount. You can alway come back and add a strip of concrete at a later date. I think you're going to lose the battle on the setback. You need let it go. Put these three items in priority and see which one is a gotta have. They...

I get cabin fever after one day here if it is cold and rainy. I may have to wear a sweat shirt this weekend. (sorry don't mean to rub it in)

To tell you the truth, I know what it is but I don't know the details on how it is applied. Ask a janitoral supplier.

Yep, layers and layers of wax. Buffed to a high gloss shine.

I'm a contractor and I built a warehouse once and the owner wanted 1 floor drain. According to local codes we had to put in a two compartment, PRECAST CONCRETE oil/water seperator with related piping. It wasn't an itemized price but the thing cost +/- $15,000 by the time we were done. Between...

There's a TS about 5 min. from my work. I go over there at lunch and walk around just to get away for a little while.They also have a good selection of work clothes. Carhart, etc.

Tip #1: If you can't figure something out-come here and ask a question.

You'll have to find a real drywall supplier, not HD to get the 1/2" ceiling boards. Try the yellow pages.

Take a sledge hammer and see if you can break off a corner of the slab. If it was just a shed slab I doubt it is very thick. Also try to dig a little dirt out from under it on the side and than wack it with the sledge. It should break right off.

IMHO, I would go flat. It doesn't rain inside your shop and any spills you will clean up before it can run out the door, so why pitch it.
