My 24 x 32 building is similar to yours in that I also have the interior done in the ridged metal siding. What I did was to have the bottom 4' of the walls done in T-111 siding, while the top portion and ceiling is metal. I had all of the electrical service surface-mounted. If the conduit...

Mine's a 24' x 32', with the doors on the 24' end...go wider if you can. Steve

I recently had Directv installed, and was fortunate enough to be home for the install. We talked about dish location and agreed on a spot. I had mine mounted on the siding of the house instead of going with a roof-mount through-the-shingle mount for fear of leaks....Installer was knowledgable...

Most of the foam stuff I've seen is black. Google "pipe insulation covering" or "pipe insulation jacket", and there's plenty to choose from. As you say, these are mainly used in commercial applications, but they do offer a PVC type covering over the foam. Here's one I found on the first search...

Do you really need a thermostatic mixing valve? This will maintain a constant temperature regardless of water supply fluctuations...If you just need an on-off valve for hot and cold that will mix the water together and come out a spout, how about something like this: Its a laundry tub faucet...

I'm with flesburg and 66rich on this one. Get the foam insulation specifically made for copper tubing at Lowe's, H-D, or better yet, a plumbing supply. It fits nice and tight, you can miter the insulation at the ells for a neat appearance, and use tape to seal the seams if you like. Better off...

I bought my Millermatic 175 last December from a local guy instead of going the internet route. I got a good price from him that was comparable to Cyberweld. I've also been to Cybereweld's storefront and got my Elite helmet there for the Internet price. My local Miller Dealer was very helpful...

The propane setup,which would probably be an above ground storage tank next to your shop should not cost anything...other than the cost of the propane. I have propane both for my house (1000 gal. underground tank) and an above ground 100 gal. tank for my 24 x 32 shop. The propane company owns...

Winmon, I have an S-K clicker type torque wrench, and a few years back sent it to Team Torque to have recalibrated. They did a nice job and sent me a copy of the calibration data. It turned out that the wrench was still within specs, and just needed a little tweaking. This wrench cost around...

gregs, Here's a shot of an epoxy coated floor. Picture was taken just after I finished putting it down. Very durable, cleans easy. I drag a floor jack around on it with no problems. The brand I used was Epoxy-Coat. Do a search on this board and you'll find a full write up that I did on it. Steve

'stang and car-nut, The Willys is an Outlaw body and chassis. I picked it up at their shop in PA. and the wooden wheels made it easy to roll around. I used them till I got my wheels and tires. Wheels are E-T "Gasser" in front and "Five-Window" in back. The motor is a blown 392 Chrysler hemi...

Not seen are two more fixtures on the opposite end and are actually above the overhead...

My shop is 24'x32' with a 10' ceiling. R19 walls, R31 ceiling....My heater is a two-stage 40,000/28,000 BTU unit. Cost was right around $975. The tube length is only 15'. I would have gone with the 20' model, but I got too close to the overhead doors to go any longer. I can't see how you...

Puttn, What part of the country are you from? Maybe you just need to go to another Reverberray dealer. I'm in New Jersey, and got mine (with just a phone call) from a distributor in New York state (Sun Systems). The link is below. The gentleman's name is Johan, and he was very helpful. We...
