    Audio Receiver and Speakers in Metal Building

    I have a really nice Pioneer receiver and Polk 7.1 system that was used in a high-end home theater for years. I don't watch TV or movies anymore, haven't in years, so this is just taking up room in a closet. I'd like to move it all to our new building for playing music throughout. I'm in the...

    Mini-Split in Insulated Metal Building - Single or Dual Fan Unit?

    I am working through insulating a 24x50x12, doing 1.5" polyiso w/ a 0.75" air gap and encapsulated closed cell bubble as an interior skin for now - debatably R28-32 range. All air gaps vent upward to the roof ridge vent behind the insulation for moisture control. I'm going to do the frameouts...

Electricity is a project for next year (200' trench through solid granite, plus an extra distribution box at my meter, going to be lots of fun). Under normal circumstances, I would tell anyone to run...

    Electric UTV vs Golf-Cart?

    Our new shop is going in next month. It's about 150' from my primary garages, all downhill. I plan on keeping my tool boxes in the climate-controlled garage attached to my house for the time being. I don't mind walking up the hill and back a few times to get tools, but it becomes a hike after...

    Steel Building Prices and Tariffs - Any Insight?

    [NOT A POLITICAL DISCUSSION] I'm curious if anyone has insight on the potential effects from tariffs on steel building prices. I have been working on site prep for a 30x60 for the last two years (long story, huge undertaking, not the point). My plan was to finish grading and pour a slab this...

    MaxJax Quick Coupler Stuck?

    I went to disconnect and stow the MaxJax M6 today and one of the quick couplers is completely stuck. I can get the sleeve up so that the ball bearing is about level with it, maybe 1-2mm from the point where it would normally disconnect. I can push inward and feel it "spring" back, but I cannot...
