If you are doing any drywall work to install the new frame and door, brace the stud as mentioned before, add kitchen metal over the studs on latch and hinge side on the non-secure side of the wall as wide as you can go, then drywall over that. Nobody will punch through the drywall and unlock the...

Admittedly, you paid less than normal retail for these wrenches. Is it possible you have purchased factory seconds, sold through a 3rd party? I agree that we expect quality for appropriate price, but so many forget the low price part once we receive the "inferior quality" item. Put them on a...

Install it as you described with everything in the shop.easily removable. Remove it before you sell, or before you no longer need it so your heirs don't have to deal with it. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I have been considering mini-splits for a while, but I can't wrap my head around one problem on my second floor. The floor has 4 bedrooms and a bath. The hallway is really a large landing situated between all of the rooms. Figuring 2 bedrooms per unit, total of 2 outdoor units, what does...

Wouldn't you just frame out walls and a ceiling in the space? You need the walls to create the size you want. Frame walls, cap the space, insulate. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Is there a substantial workbench near the lift bay? You may not want to take parts and sub-asssemblies from a car on the lift all the way across the garage to work on a bench. Likewise, do you have a plan for tools at the bench on the right side? The toolboxes are over in the lift bay. Sent...

This is something where you get what you pay for. The cheap, $69 canopies that you find at bargain stores are light and flexible, with so-so fabric. You pay more for good ones, like EZ UP. First Up is good, in my experience. The straight legs are usually better. Fabric that has a vent at the top...

So, the OP started this thread asking for advice. Those that know from experience, or from a friends experience, chimed in with some very good insight into the small business world. It sounds like some points were discussed that the OP hadn't considered. I think he got exactly what he was...

If you are going to hang something to separate one space for painting, with a single large door you will not be able to gain access to the other side through the door while you are painting because it will open the paint side as well. You mention local code height restrictions that you do not...

Did you happen to pick up a wireless controller for the winch? They are VERY handy when setting up and making the pull. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Aren't they typically only certified for diesel fuel? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I would remove colloquial or slang phrases such as "I am looking to...". Make it " I am asking for written approval" or something similar. Exchange "sign-off" with "written approval" or similar. Sign-off is universal, but it isn't always recognized as written, and you have specified such. I...

I'm a firefighter/EMT. About 25 years ago my company was dispatched for an industrial rescue at a greenhouse around 7AM. When we arrived, we found a man pinned between a forklift and the loading dock. He had come to work early (around 5AM) to load delivery trucks for the day. The forklift was...

Circular saw or table saw are the machines of choice in my industry. A carbide blade will cut that quickly and clean. As stated, watch the chips! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Covercraft is the way to go. They have several different fabrics to choose from, based on your needs. The one mentioned earlier, Dustop, is probably what you want. They made a custom cover for me for our 1929 American LaFrance fire truck for just over $500. They probably have a patern for your...

Please don't overlook the importance of make-up air, as noted by others. If your house is tight, the fan will pull air from SOMEWHERE. It must. If this is reno or construction, now is the time. It isn't just an inspection requirement. It's physics. You won't get the performance from the fan...
