    My Budget Garage Fit Out (Scotland)

    That fan you are planning to use for the spray booth isn't going to work. If you were going to blow air INTO the area with it, Yes. The fan motor and electrical are not sealed. Instant explosion trying to exhaust paint fumes with it.

    72-year-old couple building a barn (garage/workshop)

The question of whether the basement steel would be powder coated has been addressed. I won't go there. From what I can see the bolt heads have been clocked. Flats to the top and...
