69 years old, good health, just creaky joints, have a nicely finished 30' x 40' shop. I'm struggling on whether to install a 4 post lift. Life expectancy is maybe 14 more years for males my age.

Gentlemen (and ladies), I have a 2 story house, primary heat is via a natural gas-fired furnace. The original owner installed a wood burning furnace in the basement (see the attached pic) and never used it. It does have the required separate flue and works well. The WB furnace is not connected...

I have a heated pole barn, I'm considering renting out unused space in it for motorcycle/car/boat storage. Anyone doing this ? Concerns ? Is it worth it form a $$$ standpoint ? Anyone done it and had issues ? What are the terms that you enforce to customers ? I would think that car owners...

Trying to repair a split tree bolts(s) I have a tree that split down the middle from high winds, about a 5' long vertical crack. The crack extends from about 2' off the ground, and up 5' from there, it's about a 2" crack at it's worst, it's otherwise a healthy maple, about 30 ft tall. I like...

Guys, Solve the puzzle, win a prize. I just fired up a closed radiant heat system, with 50/50 antifreeze made for radiant systems. The in-floor Pex and all other associated fittings are leak free. When I first filled the system with oxygenated tap water, then drained out half the water and...

Guys, Just finished installing a radiant heating in-floor system (natural gas based), concrete will be poured in a couple of days. It's cold here, but with the radiant heat operational, the pour will occur over heated Pex :thumbup:. My question: do you guys that have radiant heat in your shops...

Guys, I have quotes for a 30x40x14 pole barn, and the same structure stick built (2x6 studs 16” oc ). All parameters on both structures are identical except for the type of construction. Obviously the concrete work is more formidable with the stick built (footers etc) as opposed to just a pad...

Will be having a 30'x40' pole barn built. Plan is for 2" XPS foam in the floor for use with radiant heat, with a vapor barrier beneath the foam. As I understand it , the methodology is to afix 2" foam to the "splash board" . The splash board runs around the perimiter of the pole barn. The...

Gents, This one is tough to do a search on, so I'll ask it here. New build, 30'wide by 40' deep with (2) 10' x 10' entry doors on the 30' side. 36" man-door on the front-right side of structure. Assuming I mentally divide the barn into 4 quadrants: rear-left, rear-right, front-right...
