Go 24x24 to keep in 8’ spacing for post or cost effectiveness. Go with 12’ wall and 5/12 roof trusses with a 3/12 cathedral ceiling. Roof will keep you under the 16’6” overall and cathedral will give you about 13’6” inside height. All measures here approx, you may be able to go to 6/12 outside...

I used 9 Fiet 4' LED Shop Lights from Costco in a 24x30' shop. The exterior walls are 12' tall and a cathedral ceiling that peaks at 13'6". The lights are 4000K and burn 40 watts each. The place is lit like a stadium. Great easy light to work with, no shadows. The units were $20 each, and the...

Just use what I use. a small LED (40watt equivalent). It will generate a small amount of heat. Very little electric usage. Last 30,000 hrs plus. Will keep the safe dry.

Good primer (Kilz) and get it tinted to your finish color. Then one good coat of an exterior paint in the same color. Worked great for me in attached Drywaller garage.

Costco Feit are the way to go. Have 9 of them on a 13' ceiling 24'x30' shop. Lights the place like a stadium. Also us 8 of them in a 12' ceiling 30'x36' storage area and 4 of them in the house garage (9 1/2' ceiling 26'x30'). Bought all on sale at $20 then got $8 each back with a electric...

I have a 24x30 work area and plan to have 5-6' from front of 4 post lift and 5-6' on the right side of the lift. Distance is from the lift post. You need space to remove doors, bumpers and components (tires, etc). Remember, if your tight on one side of the lift, you can always back the car onto...

Give them to the neighbor kid.

Put TyVek under the metal!!

Put a 2-3” layer of limestone on top and have the excavator compact it all. It will be just like a paved street.

I've had Anderson 400 casements for 22 years. Our new house, that we are currently building in northern MI, is getting Marvin Integrity Low-E, Argon, wood interior, wood look screens. Marvins have a more durable exterior. R-value of the Marvins are better than the 400 Series Anderson. Never...

Scott Rags in a Box work great for auto and painting house. Buy at Costco or Sams.

Have two Toto Drakes. They don’t work any better than the current offerings from Kohler. Also the Kohlers cost less. We have two Kohlers with the Gen5 flushing system, wouldn’t swap them with any other. Low flows these days do a great job, you won’t be disappointed!

More so than pounds per sqft, ask the joist builder about flexsion. They also rate floor joist by how much they flex. An engineer may want to comment on this for you, or the joist manufacturer will help you. We are building a home with a 34' width, steel beam at 17', floor is rated at L480 for...

I have Liftmaster 8500 on three doors. 10x10' Insulated, 18x10', 16x8' Insulated. The Liftmaster does the job well!! No issues. Easy install. Plenty of power. A guy that installs them said I might have to have the upper rails for the doors slanted slightly to start the doors moving down. My...

Vent it by locating a “boca” vent just down steam from the trap. This will allow the water from the sink to easily flow to the in ground barrel. Much cheaper than building a large vent to the roof or whatever.

Many of todays brews in the US will get skunky in time. I'm going for a mid sized fridge that holds about 4 cases and some snacks, water, for my pole barn shop. That way keeping the beer fresh as possible. Many 18-20 cuft models available with very low operating cost. They also have solid...

Vegetable oil the seal. Works good last a long time.
