All, I bought two of these tables off Craigslist. They are 3x8 ft with 3/4 in plywood tops. I also bought some 10 gauge metal sheets to cover the tables. The question I have is there is a slight bow to the metal sheets. Is there any way to take the bow out? I thought of placing the sheets...

I had a Kubota 4wd 32hp L3000 with FEL. I never used it for bush hogging or any ground engaging implements, just the loader for picking up rocks (S. Texas). I sold it and bought a Bobcat S175 with 1400 hrs. I paid 16k. The bobcat is tougher, stronger and the ideal loader machine. With a...

I have a 40x50 with a 15x50 lean to. I used 4 foot LEDs, six 48w vapor tight. My ceiling is 16 ft.

Howdy from the great state of Texas, Had a metal building built on slab this summer. Just got it wired this week so doing some cleanup. I noticed some of the bolts that bolt the red iron down to the slab are loose. From the slab curing? Parts "getting to know each other"? I assume I should...

Finally getting my electrical installed. 12 James 165W high bays. Boy is it bright! 6 vapor tights on the lean-to. Also Bright as poop. Gonna have 2 wall packs for each roll-up door and 2 more on the other side of the building. 35 outlets; 14 outside and 21 inside (includes 4 50A welder...

Brian, thanks again. I will pass along your suggestions. They make a lot of sense.

Thanks, to all. I'm a mile wide and an inch deep when it comes to electrical. I should have put a larger (metal) sweep in the slab for sure. At the meter, I have 2 200A panels (one for the house and one for the barn). I have yet to do the trench. I will have to rent a rock saw as it is solid...

Sorry, yes there is a disconnect. Also, I may have messed up in that I poured 2 2" PVC sweeps into the corner of my slab for the feeder. If I have to have larger than 250MCM, can I put say two conductors in each 2" conduit or do they have a sheathing around them? My loads are Air compressor...

The details: 40x60 barn. I Want 100A panel, 525ft from newly installed meter rack. What size aluminum feeder and how many conductors and will it fit in a 2" conduit? also, if I have a ufer ground at the barn do I need to run a ground from the meter rack? My sparky says 250mcm will work with...

Thanks, Platonic. I think I will skip the dimming and just have 3 circuits. Probably good enough.

Thanks for the replies. Platonic, point well taken regarding th shadows. I guess I'm a little confused by the data. The James 165W being sold today by http://www.ledlightingwholesaleinc.com/James-High-Bay-2-Foot-165-Watt-p/zy-h5-165w.htm say it puts out 24,563 lumens. I called them and they...

So been reading here a lot. Trying to get up to speed on lighting. I am looking at the 2 ft James Industries 165 W LED High Bay: https://www.getjl.com/magic-high-bay. I want it bright in there so to reach 100 fc takes 12 of the 2ft 24,563 lumen 165w fixtures or 16 of the James 2 ft 16,400...

Is there a sealer that would at least keep oil and other stuff from soaking in that would hold up to the skid steer?

Building a 40x50 mueller in S Texas. Just poured the slab last week with a smooth finish. Question is: Will anything stand up to my S175 Bobcat? I don't plan to do donuts in there but I would like to park it in there. What type of coating would work? Sealer ? Epoxy? Thanks!

Thanks. Do you mind if I ask how much a foot for the slab?

Looking for someone with experience doing metal building slabs and or erecting metal buildings in the San Antonio area. Thanks!

$6 would be awesome. The Mueller people around Dallas told me that was the going rate there. I've had some bids at $9 here in the san antonio area but that's way too high.

Would you happen to know the name of the guy your family friends used for their job or any other people in the 5.50-7.50 range? Thanks!

Any comments on the cost of the building? Does it seem reasonable?

That would work. You're in TX, too. $9 is just too high for such a simple job.
