I'm getting ready to build my garage, and am thinking about adding floor anchors as pull points to help move cars around. I've seen 1 thread where this was mentioned, but the items used were very long. I'm planning on having radiant heat and a vapor barrier, so the pictures I saw would not...

When is the last time you heard of someone breaking an ankle skiing and it was *not* done on thier last run of the day? Kinda like saying "I found it in the last place I looked!!". Of course it was the last place you looked, why keep looking? Sorry couldn't resist. Best wishes on a speedy...

Getting ready to build my dream garage, 30x44 Pole barn. Floor is going to be stone, vapor-barrier, 2" insulation, 6" slab w/radiant heat (liquid based not electric). I'm planning on using Epoxy on the floor. Racedeck, etc would be easier on the knees/back, but not the eyes. I just have...

Set it up as a Dragstrip light tree.

So was mine, a Sprint 200. Only difference is I still have mine. If Rust were gold I could by several GT40's with that car! SprintCC :bounce:

I have some questions about Pole Barns vs Stick Frame buildings. I am looking at building a 48x30 detached garage. Attic (storage) trusses over 1/2, cathederal ceilings over the other. Cement floor (radiant heat), 2 16 ft doors, 1 man door and a few windows. The exterior of the garage will...

Need some help here. I've done graph paper drawing of my dream-garage, but reading the info I have from my township it states that I need architectural drawings for the approval process. Also talking to other people I work with they recommend getting a Architect familiar with my township to...

I'm just North of Philly, just did the same thing. I wound up with a 2 car+. I'm going to build a detached. If there is a even a remote possibility of building find out about a few things before you make an offer. What are the local codes about Setbacks from the curb and the property line...

I know Walnut Shells are good for delicate parts, internal engine parts, etc. Unfortunately my Wife is incredibly allergic to nuts and if I used Walnut Shells it would probably kill her. What alternative to Walnut shells are there? Chris Blue Bell Pa

More to come later after I digest it (tomorrow or the next day, busy couple of Days comming up). 3 comments 1) I think your moving in the right direction, 1st impression is this is a much better layout. 2) I know alot of people (including myself) banged on the ladder idea. Now I see your...

You Said: I am really of two minds on the whole blast cabinet thing. No doubt – it is great to have one. But, -- let ME drive reality home – how often will I really use it? It’ll take up 3’ x 5’ of floor/wall space (plus the vacuum tower) (plus the space to maintain easy access to the loading...

Been there done that. Was trying to find an oil leak (active) and didn't have a creeper. What I didn't realize was that while looking on my back for the leak my hair (long hair) was mopping the oil off the floor. Had to Lava soap my hair to get it out. Nasty.... Bought a creeper right after...

Ok, have a few comments/observations (this is a great exercise, I'm planning my garage-mahl too) People have commented on the workbench depth, let me drive reality home (from working in a computer lab) from the inner corner of the "L" to the point you have almost 5 FEET of space. You will not...

2 things. 1) I worked in an office that had motions sensors in each office in the light fixture. At least 2-3 times a day while working on the computer the lights would go out because there wasn't enough motion to trip the sensor in a given time period. It wasn't very sensitive, leading to...

I have one of the organizers that 74-77Camaro mentioned (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ct...temnumber=36978). When I moved from VA to Pa I just locked the chest and moved it intact. Not a single socket moved on this organizer. Best 10 buck I ever spent (I bought it at Carlisle several...

Still planning my garage, but things are starting to come together. :bounce: I am trying to determine the ceiling height/door height in relation to a 4 post lift. The plan is the garage will be 30 feet deep. I want a nice looking door (double wide) to match the neighborhood/house, not an...
