The Clopay doors that I have say 16.9 and use polyurethane foam at 6.5 R value per inch. My doors are not 3" thick so aren't 16.9 as they advertise Edit: went back and checked. My doors are 1 3/8" and claim to be R12.9

Current doors are uninsulated. I figured for now I would glue R5 pink foam boards in them, then down the road upgrade to better doors. My house garage doors are R18 and do work well.

Thanks for the detailed response

So lets say you have several large 12x12 doors and a 10x10 door. If they are insulated with foam board so R5) or if you buy new doors for 3k apiece that are R17 or so? Then what should you put in the walls? Should you match what's in the door? Or put more in the walls to make up for what the...

I have watched about 50 youtube videos on a hoist, so it won't be a problem to make. What I need is some kind of staircase that I can hinge up out of the way

Gotta put a ceiling in the shop and too do that I gotta put up joists in the 20' high middle section. If I gotta spend the money to put up joists and a ceiling its stupid to not make a loft out of it and would be stupid to rent or buy a storage shed when you got a 14'x40' loft

US Generals from HF are great. I have several and use them everyday. Save your money on Snap On boxes and buy more tools..

I have a Bend Pak scissor lift. Sorry I bought it. For one it's supposed to be portable but I can't move it around the shop as it's too heavy. If I leave it in the shop then it's in the way (one bay shop). Second the lift itself is in the way lots of time to work on stuff. I move the lift in...

Looking for ideas for either or both: pull down staircase or a freight/man elevator. Thanks

My skid steer also has a plexiglass door so I would have had to take it off too..

I have a Deere BH-11B backhoe attachment for my Deere compact track loader. Works good. I have dug many ditches and buried several dead farm animals. Mine has a seat on the backhoe so you sit outside the cab. You can see very good but the major downfall is you have to crawl back inside the cab...

Go with 3" everywhere. I have a shop with 2" on the side walls. When the temp outside is 100 and over and once the sun gets low and hits the west wall the air conditioner can hardly keep up. 2.25 ton unit in a 20x35x10 shop with 2" foam in the walls and R30 batts in the attic). I don't remember...

Anybody know how much more a custom sized garage door costs than a standard? for example 9'6" tall by 10' wide vs standard 10x10

If the OP was looking for quotes in the first place then I doubt he has the skills to install electrical and especially a gas line. You gotta check for leaks and check the pressure at the furnace. Oh, I forgot you guys use Youtube now for everything... Nothing like watching a video from an...

Sell the motorhome and build a smaller shop. It won't have to be as tall either. If you can't save up money in the next 10 years to build a shop you don't need a motorhome anyway.

Thanks a bunch. Ordered a NOCO Genius 10

Transformer has an open winding

Does anybody still make a battery charger that's not computerized? My 40-year-old Sears one bit the dust. These new ones that are computerized will not charge a battery that's below a certain voltage. I need one that's just a transformer and rectifier- no computer

Let's see: 100Mbtu of heat. Propane at 2.50 gallon 80% AFUE cost is $3421 95% AFUE cost is $2881 $540 difference. YEAH 95% is worth it, only an idiot or really misinformed guy would buy a 80%

I bought 35 acres in CO in 2018. The land was worth 125k. It had a 40x40 nice barn already on it. I paid 205k for the place. This gave me an instant barn that I could start storing our stuff in. This put us a year ahead of our plans as it would have taken a least a year to get a barn built...
