close to 100% chance to have a steel beam needed

it's bolted to the house...I think the house structure is enough of an X Brace ;)

very well thought. I'm no engineer, but I don'T nothing worrying me. everything seems well overbuilt with a good safety margin (look like x3 everywhere) I doubt the safety betl would do anything in case of a locking pin break. ps.: when sitting on the pin(as well as went moving up and...

20" wide x8" tall ! How often do you see them advertised?

In my area , I got mine from a local garage builder. There's a bunch of manufacturer around me.

it's not redneck....but it's useless : the framing won't really hold more then the actual plywood would. it's a rental: just use it for lighter stuff: a bunch of car part doesn't weight THAT much...unless it's a complete engine or big suspension parts.

I have a rigid 5hp 16g vacuum and really like it. could be more powerfull, but with the water vaccuming end it make a great job. (Just have to replace it every 4-5year because the small "feet" get grinded flush)

pvc conduit large radius cost a bunch. No need to bury it like a water line...never you'll see enough water to burst the pipe. with air running through, the worst could be 1/8 full per say. how much cfm do you need at the destination? 120' run have a huge amount of cfm lost!

I wouldn'T be worried about the small hole. But if you are: just find a screwable magnet and screw them to the light Or even better : simply epoxy earth magnet to each end of the light. (You can get a bunch of earth magnet on ebay for not much money.(That's what I would do)

sorry misunderstood glass bead or steel brush wheel on a grinder.....hand brass brush is way too soft and would take forever(as you see it)

Keep it that way. adding a double layer of plywood would make you feeler more confortable about the structure which you shouldn't. put stuff on it as is, and when the actual 3/8 plyswood start to bow a bit, stop ading more weight.. IMO better have the plywood bow a bit as a warning then any...

the left one is the regular aluminium gray. the one on the right is a "painted flat black" the one on the left have been kinda stripped of it's paint

expanded metal will be way cheaper then any form of wire rope or cable.

I have used laced steel rod to make stuff like shelves, but can't find the real name of that thing. (I'ved been given the "bent" steel rod and laced them myself.) :| it's very sturdy....not sure how actual rope would do (been tightening them will be hard and can't easily weld multi wire cable)...

the lightweight concrete pannel 1/2....yes the stuff with the mesh built in. whatever in that style. It's mainly just to give it a firm backer for the stucco. If you kick it, the cement board won't deflet as much as the XPS and won't crack the stucco.

I'll be doing cement board and stucco on mine (2' tall on a 28'x44' garage)

I only make a bay (14x20 which is 1/4 of my garage) with a drain (with catch bassin) and slope. The 3/4 remainder of the garage is flat. That way I can park one car in this to have it melted, drip rain or whatever before working on it(but will have to move it on the other bay to be on the...

as said by other: outside is the place the protection must go., brick concrete and mortar are not waterproof materials.

asphalt shingle should be that bad. Was kinda good on my 6/12. but forget it if metal roof.

drywall screw, roofing nail, whatever nail or flat head screw. I'll be using my air stappler like for my vinyl.
