Thanks mleichtle - will do that, I am suffering thru it today and learning that certain functions just have a different name. Time to do a search for intellicad

Not release 9 this is "autosketch9" bought it last night at Office Depot for $130. I just needed a watered down version of CAD to do some house garage barn plans. I first used R3 in DOS back in '85 and that was easier than this.

I built shelves off my wall 2' out and decked with plywood, hung the outside with simpson strapping for wood framing windties 36" long and nailed to the truss and the shelf. Holding up all kinds of parts for my hotrods for over 3 years. Just wrap the strap over the truss on the top

Hasn't Ivan raised the rent on you yet? Love ya - dixiedog

If you go with it, have some concrete anchor points on the perimeter incase you need something to set some heavy equipment on that wont sink or use a pull point for a wench.

I just bought Autodesk9 and thought it would have some of the same functions of AutoCad 2000 that I had at my old job. I just want some simple functions like offset. I can't draw a straight line to save my life, where is ortho when I need it??? What are your guys opinions and are there any help...

I haven't been on garagejunkies in a long while, and now I find out it is another child of Ryan's. Some of you know me from the other Atomic Network sites. Just wanted to say hi

Caffine - Welcome aboard - Dixiedog from the HAMB here, met you and Big Ron (RIP) down at Biketoberfest or Bike Week last year in Daytona. The garage is looking good, sanding drywall is like Bondo just doesn't smell as nice!! If you have tried muratic acid, try floor stripper which you can...

RED - Those pics are making me homesick for a warmer place (hey it was in the 40's this morning). The progress is coming along nicely, I miss block construction up here its mainly stick built. That one pic of the neighbor watching when you were scraping the grass is so typical for there I had...

Those are BEAUTIFUL!!!! MXtra - you are a RULER!! That is an inspiration for building something that will last for years to come. Thanks Cebby for the links and write up

Danski is pretty much right on with dealing with toxic materials. The manufacturers are so scared of law suits that they want to take the extra step and try to insure that there product that can kill someone is only bought by "contractors" so they are less liable. And OH-MAN you are correct...

I have a Skil Saw - standard nothing fancy it was around $50 a few years ago. I am not a fan of it, the table is off square and guard hangs up on being pushed up from time to time. I bought my crew a DeWalt corded and they love it, plenty of power and light weight.

Got the link from another site I frequent (The HAMB), pretty neat deal. Thought you all might like it. http://portal.lenoxsaw.com:7777/pwg/JumpPage2/indexh.jsp

Jason I dont know what your height is, but you can always do a loft or wide high storage like I did. Do you have any pics?

Red Caddy, I grew up in Sarasota from 1963 and seen first hand the NIMBY principle at work. Did you deal with the City of Venice or the County? Either way, unless it's a high-rise for downtown you have quite the accomplishment under your belt. Can't wait to see some pictures - Brian

I have a 14.4V makita and the battery started leaking after about 6 months the other battery is fine and at $70 for a new battery I just use the one. Has anybody tried the Harbor Freight - Chicago cordless stuff? A handyman buddy of mine says if you take care of them they last but you cant beat...

My favorite is my plierwrench - made in the 20's or 30's in chicago - very cool

Yes it is. My company has looked into this and others mainly acid staining. Acid staining is cheaper and gives a very unique look to the floor. A lot of resturants, upscale shops and motorcycle dealerships are using it. The neat thing is the small cracks in the concrete end up with a real nice...

Muddy - you are right - 30 days. From building water plants for years, we always used epoxy & special coatings and followed the 30 day rule to allow the concrete to "cure out & breath" most of the time if schedule would allow - 45 days.

Welcome from North Florida relocated from south Sarasota - Gulf Gate. I didn't know they had that big of a garage in Venice :bounce: I don't blame ya for getting out, too many people for me. All I can recommend is a GOOD HEATER since your winters are wee bit warmer than N-Georgia. Nice...
