Just watched all of the videos... thanks for the heads up.

How much weight is going on the loft?

I’ve been researching code stuff and it looks like if I want to finish the upstairs the stairs need to meet code for a finished space, 3’ wide 7.5 rise and 10” run. What if I divide the upstairs into 2 rooms, 1 is unfinished attic and the other is finished?

More pictures of the ceiling and the obstacles. The 12” beam is 14’ from the back wall. The 16” beam is 10’ from front wall. The man door in the back is 28” from corner. I could probably sneak a staircase against that back wall, but it may be steep and/or too narrow?

Here are some more pics of the doors.

Valve/pipe makes me think it’s your blow off (bypass) valve? Not the drain valve? Drain valve may just need the screw on top of it tightened.

Nobody asked how far away you’d be sitting from the TV, that is more important than your resolution. Having a 4K screen running at 4K off of your lapop and sitting 15’ from it isn’t a good use of the tech. Lower that down to 1080 and you can end up in the same boat. You may find that it is a...

I was going to only use 2 band saws mounted perpendicular to one another. The horizontal saw is on a jig that allows adjustment for the diameter of the tube.

Hey Bobby, looks to me that the spring has attachments on the rails at either end and also to the studs in the middle of the bar. Later today I will more closely inspect both doors, and take better pictures. The front door will get an 8500 and the back will likely remain manual, and locked. As...

Thanks for the responses guys. Good to know!

I don’t think the inspector would appreciate the lift. Though, at my last house I built the kids a 2 story tree fort and they had an elevator that used a Harbor Freight hoist to get them the 13’ up into the fort.

Good job Matt! That is the most advanced way I’ve seen a hoist hooked to a staircase. Most guys don’t take it that far, but I like it. Haven’t seen that one on YouTube yet, not sure how I missed it, but thanks for sharing.

Hi Guys, All of the research and reading I've done on here for the last several years doesn't make designing my own garage any easier. Excellent ideas, budgets for all sizes, and every one of them is unique. My biggest hang-up right now is where to put my attic stairs. I'm a huge fan of...

Please excuse my ignorance, but these suggestions are all for detached buildings, right? I can't use anything but sheetrock in an attached garage for fire code I thought.

I recently bought a scratch and dent Husky 52” which was repairable. The chest was new in box. I opened the chest on Christmas morning, 1 month after purchase, and it was tweaked and dented. The manager at HD took my word about the damage and gave me a $60 credit since returning it wasn’t going...

Hey Mikey... did you wash the floor yet? Would definitely drive home your point if we had pictures of the white/black cleaned up nice.

Good update!

You can flush your hot water tank by running your hot water. The drain at the bottom acts no differently than running it out of the nearest faucet. Your lines are already compromised with sediment because you're already experiencing dirty water. If you're not worried about a gas bill that is...

If 3/5 of your vehicles would benefit from the shorter arms, you wouldn't need to swap them as often as you might think. Also, the shorter arms may also work with the larger vehicles. If nobody is looking, the body (and unibody) are strong enough to hold the vehicle up... The arms themselves...

Looking forward to seeing it cleaned up (just to get it dirty again!)
