Without pictures or an elevation lot plan I think your best thing to do would get with a surveyor to look at the lot and what would be the best way for excavating the lot . Change your grade and approach into the building . If you can work with what material you have on site and get the...

You will find very few concrete buildings in the north with flat roofs that don't have a crack in the walls . The temp changes and the roof and pilasters push the walls not uncommon at all. I have several block buildings,steel buildings and wood structures. Some new some old and the price is...

If decent coal is around your area using the right sized boiler you will never find anything else to heat with less work and the BTu output that coal offers. Not to mention you can store it stock it with out it going bad like wood. Natural gas is probably your second best choice if available...

Re: Bendpak is seriously ****! I had a leaky cylinder and Bendpak sent a new one out within 2 weeks. Same lift HD9 four post. My lift was packaged and shipped like you expect a piece of Harbor freight equipment vs Snap on. The quality of the Bend pak lift does not even compare to my Rotary...

I heat with Hard coal in the north east . Burn 8-10 ton year no soot. I use the ash for traction on the icy driveway without killing the concrete or rusting your car out. I tried wood since I have trees falling from storms and free wood all around me. To much work compared to 4 min, day to...

Look for a used John Deere 110 TLB it will be the best purchased you made for a small machine. No doubt a mini excavator will out dig it time wise but the 110 tlb is the most versatile for a property owner. Mac

I built a 40 x 80 steel with a 4 12 pitch and 2 ft overhangs heated floor. Looked at SIPS and wood,pole and just block. Went with steel cause it gave me the clear span and high ceilings . Most steel buildings the columns are 20' apart. I divided 3 sections with three 12' x 12' doors . The far...

Don't know if Hard coal is available in your area . I looked at a pellet solution and found that hard coal boilers hopper fed or auger per ton are cheaper to operate and put out way more BTU heat than a pellet boiler. Also hard coal never will go bad sitting around. I heat a 4000 sq ft house...

I used Rapid Air. You can get it straight using Electrical EMT 10' sections. Just unwind the pipe and use a 10' 1" stick to straighten out the runs. The aluminum core will keep it straight after you un-wind it and shove it through the piece of EMT. On my down drops from the ceiling I l left...

Wow this is all getting crazy. It is not that difficult or that out of reality on rural property. First the Realtor is not responsible or your solution unless you just want out of purchasing the property that is as is or if you want them to raise the price cause they get involved. Second...

I have installed several Onan and Kohler 80 kw machines and several of the 22kw home version Generacs. They all have their own software and transfer issues. But i can honestly tell you we have had more luck on the simple air cooled 22kw Generacs than the 80 kw monster machines. Not to mention...

The most affordable way to do cameras is go analog and several DVRs with a Ethernet output. You can then tie as many DVRs and view from a smartphone if needed cause most manufactures offer cloud base software. This also makes for a closed network if needed. When you get into IP only cameras...

I have a Jenny purchased it in 2012. I looked and researched all the common up right models like Ingersol and Bend pak's version. I have had several different compressors over the years cause I knew a guy that was in the oil and gas business and serviced and sold shop equipment in the late 70's...

I went with all Metal or "Red iron" for several reasons. One I hate looking for good lumber anymore. My building is all commercial grade so all the doors are heavy duty steel and will last forever in a home environment . I also found it cheaper to line the walls with seconds metal panels. No...

Love all the cabinets and drawer space. I have one question how do you remember where you place everything 5 years from now?:shocking: I have a row a cabinets on my one wall and it never fails looking for my plumb balls or some special tool you use once in three years. You spend 1/2 hour going...

In my area the 400 amp is the way to go if you have what I call above average hobby shop . It is easier to sub off a 320/400 amp meter base to separate panels. Most of your 320/400 amp meter bases have two sets of feeder lugs for two 200 amp sub panels. The cost is around $150.00 more than a...

I researched Cable systems and priced out from building my own to purchasing per part all over the web. Also looked at purchasing the cable in 1000 ft spools since my deck was huge circle and I needed 11 runs to meet the 3" spacing for code. Ended up purchasing Jakob Rail systems in a kit...

The 400 amp service is the best way to go for your application. I have basically the same setup and the cost difference in new construction vs upgrading later is very small. Since you are going 400 amp service you can buy a dual lug meter base this will give you 200 amp service for your garage...

I dig utility lines often on average 100' -350' for primary at 48" depth. All in rock mountain tops in the north east. Sandstone and limestone is the norm with clay. Your best bet with out ripping up the yard and making a mess is a mini excavator with a 12'' bucket with new teeth . You may...

I agree on the bigger. I have a 40 x80 and almost went 40 x 60 in the beginning. Now I wish I had another 20' bay and did a 50 or 40 x 100'. It would be nice to have a 40 x 20 divided area for a wash and disassemble area. One that could also be converted for a temp paint booth or detail...
