I would say the work would probably be 50/50. I would do the insulation after electric was installed, as well as the rest of the finishing work. I'm leaning toward a single level garage to eliminate the loft idea, making the apartment being in the side or rear of the garaged depending on what...

I've seen a couple pole barn style garages in the gallery that have added lofts. The lofts were not very high, just high enough to walk under. They had many supports for the loft. I would think that a couple pillars with I beams would support the loft best. These pillars would be incorporated...

My View... I run a bicycle shop, many of our frames are made in Taiwan or China. This is a common question from customers, and this is my response. My brand (Giant) is designed in California by Americans. When I order my products from them I speak to an American. When they submit my order to...

Bump. No one with advice?

I'm working with the idea of my dream garage and I am having a hard time determining adequate dimensions for my ideas. I'd like to have two normal size garage bays with one larger for a lift bay (big enough for trucks). Also included in the garage is space for a couple small rooms. The ideal...

Good pointer on the origin of the tools. I'll keep that in mind when at HF.

It's too bad I can't afford that at the moment. Against better judgment and advice I purchased the two jack stands and jack from Sears. Craftsman 2-1/4 ton jack and stands for $40 down from $80. I cant imagine the package with the creeper for $100 or $110 is any much different so I grabbed...

Unfortunately I have to rally up funds to get these things, and it may take longer than the sales are on. I'm working on it. My tools are going to be a complete hodgepodge of brands but at least I'll have something to work with until I can afford better equipment.

I havent gotten any responses on the HF Corded Impact yet. Anyone have any suggestions? I dont have adequate air. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=45252 Seems to get pretty good reviews.

There is a HF in Grand Rapids right on my way home from school. Have you worked at Palisades before? My dad is a 30yr Health Physicist out there. I know many of the AO's and work week managers, and security! Are you thinking Allegan or Paw Paw? There is a pawn shop here in town. I'll be sure...

Thanks everyone! To specify a little more into what I am looking for, I'll give some more of my current thoughts. Craftsman at KMart get super cheap, and a few close friends swear by the $50 jack and stands you can pick up (usually craftsman) from Walmart/KMart/Sears. If I had more of a...

I'm a college student who has always relied on friends who have well equipped garages to wrench on cars. My best friend who was a primary source in my own town just moved to Virginia so I no longer have instant access to tools when I need to fix/swap/replace something. I have simple cheap...

Nice to see ya! I'm from South Haven!

Looking at the plan again, I realize that your suggestion is a great one. I would have a parts washer and sand booth in a separate room, along with a bench for working on transmissoins. Hopefully that room would be big enough to get my engine stand in for rebuilding them as well! The door would...

Dont worry I have 6 other boards I'm active on! Along with webmastering 3 websites. :) Studies are the least of my worries!

www.regalgs.org Theres thousands of us :) www.clubgp.com Theres the rest of us. Regals are W-Bodies, just like Grand Prix's... My car... a GS is the same thing as a GTP... And thanks guys!

Before I describe what I'm looking to do, I would like to get rough estimates from you guys based on your experiences on what the garage would cost. I would also like input on what to look for as far as features and possible layouts. I have downloaded a free program and made a floor plan, so I...

I'm a student at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan double majoring in Mechanical Engineering Technology and Business Administration. I'll be out of college in 2.5 years or so, I'm in my third and am hoping to land an Engineering Management position. I am a jack of all trades and I...
