i've done this many times. id be more concerned about the positioning/balance than the weight. get a couple screw jacks to put under the front and rear to keep the ends supported.

put them between the torch and hose. ive also seen people put a second set between the hose and reg. if your unsure about the condition of your regulators and torch, contact these people. they have great service and have been doing this forever. https://regulatortorchrepair.com/

according to the architect, 37x35 is the biggest i can go if i stay within the laws which say 5' from other structures and 15' from the fence/property line. i dont know if they are able to bend rules but i can def go 40x35. the 35 depth is towards the property line but theres a drainage ditch...

thank you for the info. to the right of the shop is a 10x12 shed. to the left is a 2 car garage, behind it is a drainage ditch and in front is a big concrete pad. if you look at my crude drawing above you can see where the car is parked, its a big slab.

just thought id throw this up there. i found this site that lets you build and price your structure so i thought id give it a shot. this is essentially the design I'm going for: https://estimator.americanmetalbuildings.com/8a64fae6-e35a-4c57-b7dd-91a0901f8803/ price breakdown including...

ok. thank you guys for the advice. the things you marked in the picture are actually rivets. i took out the 3 screws on the bottom and chipped away a small amount of stucco that was inside the can holding it in and was able to pop it up to access the electrical. 1 can down 7 more to go. had to...

got it. thanks guys.

thank you for the reply. that is similar to what i did in my kitchen except i did not install new inner cans. i took out the 3 screws and removed the ballast but these look to be stuccoed in place. i'll see if i can remove them today but i remember them already being a pretty snug fit so i'm not...

hi, so i have some recessed lights outside and purchaced some new LED replacements. i finally get to installing them and find out that they are the style below. 4 pin with the square base. the type i have now had the 2 pin orange connector and a screw in adapter if needed. issue with these cans...

so i might have solved part of this mystery. i took what i thought was the pump off, apparently its just a cover that directs airflow and not a traditional style pump like i had imagined. i then took the actual pump cover off to find that the carbon/ceramic rotor had come apart. i will be...

hi, so i just picked up a (used) DeWalt forced air heater (210k) and was hoping someone could help me sort out some issues. first issue was that the unit would not come on. found that the thermostat was bad. i've replaced that. After that the heater would come on but would have excessive smoke...

thats a big help, thank you. also for anyone interested. idk if you watch Essential Craftsman on YT but i've been watching him for years and he happens to be building a shop/garage now. 12 episodes in so maybe check that out for some entertainment. some of the ideas posted in this thread i see...

big help. thank you. do you know what model you have? i feel like i'll be fine with 1 also.

thank you. the guy down the street had a steel building but i remember him saying that they only had to bring it in and assemble it but i'll as what company it was, maybe they know something. is there a way i can estimate building costs for different types of buildings? i'm sure if i contact...

how do i go about finding someone like that?

so ive been checking around with different companies for red iron buildings but it looks like they come in 10' increments. so i would be stuck with a 30x30.

no reason i can think of honestly. maybe more inspections since it has electrical or because we're modifying an existing structure?

thanks again all. i should have mentioned this but that building is a 2 car detached garage. shop will have to be 5' from that and 5' from the shed thats to the right. that side also never sees any sun. the top of the pic is north. my brother in law is helping me get ideas as well and he did...

So here is my crude attempt at a drawing haha. the green lines is where i would like the door. orange line is the property line and the black space next to it is a drainage ditch about 5' wide and 2' deep. Yellow X is a fixed roof we put up to part a tractor under but that will to go make room...

thank you guys very much. Elk grove is in northern CA, i'm actually on the southern border of sacramento. the area we have to work with is 37x35 and i would like to use as much as possible but like you mentioned, it wouldn't make sense for a wood construction so changes would have to be made...
