Thanks for giving me some hope on the metal building. It seems that I'm doubling my budget to get a stick building dried in. I'd rather just take the hit on spray foam and still come out ahead. No inside finishing on this. Got a quote from Behr's Buildings in Ohio at just over 8k for an...

NUTTSGT, forgive me while I geek out for a minute. I've followed your thread for YEARS, and am followed your 14x28 addition as you were doing it. Thanks for taking time to read and give input on my question! If I go the versa-tube route, I'll DIY the building. Gonna do the dirt work myself...

You have a valid point. I've thought about this some. Insulation definitely has to happen at some point given my location, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if it didn't happen this year. Thanks for bringing up zoning. I spoke with my township's sole permit guy, who also is the inspector, and he...

I’m sure this has been hashed and re-hashed, but I’m hoping for some updated and regionally accurate ideas of cost. If interested, keep reading. : ) The Mrs. gave me a green light to move forward with a 15x27 garage with a 12’ ceiling. No wider than 15’ because I already have to move a lot of...

Hope someone from here snapped them up. If I had any place at all for them I would have grabbed them! Great deal!

Not my listing. Great price though. Not sure if the brand. Hope someone can put these to good use! Metal cabinets, skinny drawers. Looks like solid worktops, too. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/917207708816795/ Sorry if this isn’t allowed.

Thank you for the suggestion Black300zx. I think those are really nifty set-ups. Unfortunately, I don’t have the welding skill or equipment to fab something like that out of steel. I guess I could bolt a receiver onto the bench somewhere... food for thought, for sure. I was thinking maybe I...

Just finished up the bulk of the build on this yesterday. Went from a 35 inch Kobalt top/bottom tool chest to this set-up. The workbench is a 2x4 frame topped off with 5/4” deck planks, then 3/4 ply on top of that (just trying to use up random left-over lumber I already had. I think it’ll do any...

Thanks again!

It really was much easier than I originally thought it would be. I know it’s a day late and dollar short, but for anyone considering this, I bought a tube bending tool from Home Depot and it made the bends a breeze. Here’s a link to the tool...

Resurrecting this thread just to say “thank you”. I used this thread to make the decision on whether or not DIY’ing a pioneer mini split install was within the realm of my skills. Thankfully, your thread convinced me I could do it and I installed and connected everything. I did have an AC tech I...

Ryan, I have been a member for years and I don’t have a terribly high post count because I often don’t have antytjing to add to discussion, and unfortunately, don’t have a cool garage to start a thread about. That being said, I have been really blessed by the hot deals as I (young Dad) try to...

I’ll gladly take them should I be chosen. But regardless of who wins, I’m looking forward to some good reviews and another quality option when shopping for socket sets. Nice organizer, too!

Just got back home from TSC. I ended up with $150 worth of reg priced stuff for $40. But in the Export, PA location the air lines are on sale. I got a Jobsmart 75’ 3/8 rubber line for $6.99 and a Jobsmart 50’ 3/8 premium rubber air line for $3.99. The 50’ air line was $29.99 and the 75’ was...

Those Irwin Vise-grips are hands down the most versatile pliers I have ever held in my hands. Just used the smaller one while replacing my parking brake pads and all of the springs/hardware. Those things rock! Looks like you have a great start to your tool collection (hoarding, in my case, but...

Things are coming along, BF. Keep up the good work! I will say that doing this yourself must be exhausting, but it's the only way to get exactly what you want. I'll drop in again soon! -Josh

This is not a criticism in any way, shape, or form, just a question. Would the "weak point" in the eye bolt system be the piece of 2x4 that the washer and nut are against? Did you consider using a thick steel plate? I know you are not using it to lift cars or anything, so it is probably a moot...

Congratulations! Glad to see it is all up and done! Now you will move back indoors?
