For those of you wondering why the house looks 'so crappy', did you realize that he's in England? That house is probably a couple hundred years old! It's worth MUCH MORE over there than a comparable house would here in North America (if you could find a comparable house here!). One of the...

Kevro, Real carpenters would have help to hold the other end! You can always temporarily nail a 2x4 just under where the collar tie would go on one end (lengthwise to the garage so it could support multiple collar ties), place the tie on that end while you lift the other end and clamp it in...

OK, I just have to ask: Why do you need 10 miles of extension cord? Lane

Wildfire1 / 4Shorts.... As usual, your workmanship is beautiful. Please share your welding trailer/welder stands/etc.... here with these guys. I've been watching you on WeldingWeb for a few years now. Keep up the great work! Lane (Photo)

e-tek, Well, I have to say I'm really disappointed in you. Using a Dodge Mini-Van to move your shed. You should have at least used ther new flathead in your old '46 Merc to do it (and taken lots of pics of it as well!). I wouldn't want to assume that the Merc couldn't handle the shed! Lane

Mine came as a gray top and scissors. Doesn't bother me, the garage floor is gray too! Lane

I would bet thieves can't get anywhere near either of those garages. They're probably inside a walled estate far from prying eyes. The only one's who get to look in the windows are probably invited guests or friends and relatives of the owners. I agree with Jack, those aren't garages, they're...

Coupe302, Since you have concrete block walls, have you considered lifting the entire roof up about 3 feet and adding 3 or 4 courses of block around the entire perimeter of the garage? This might be a costly proposition, but would ultimately be the cleanest and simplest in not having to mess...

Well, I'm hoping to begin installing my EE In-Floor Scissor Lift this coming weekend. Wish me luck! Lane

JBAUTO, The other thread is here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35433&showall=1 I just bought one and had it delivered to Edmonton. It is currently patiently waiting to be installed in my garage. So far, it has cost me ~ $2230.00 Cdn to get it to my house. PM me if you...

^ x2! Shouldn't cost you too much to find a new pole to put back in! It doesn't need to be brass, get a length of pipe chromed if you have to! Lane

longshanks, Where abouts in 'Northern Canada'? Here in Alberta, we're normally pretty dry and have to add water to the house in the winter, not worry about removing it! A dehumidifier may be your answer, but do you have any place to run the drain line (or will have to keep emptying it...

Allstar, Check in the manual for your opener. I recently moved my opener over to clear a vehicle on my lift (once I get it installed!). My manual (and I confirmed with both the opener and door manufacturer) stated I could mount mine up to 4' (48") off center on my 16' wide door. If your...

johno, If you go to my Webshots page here: http://rides.webshots.com/album/561705944pOrIJn you can see many more pics. Lane

Here's mine: Outside view View showing working area from door to house View towards house door View from outside looking in 16' door Workbench along north wall North-East corner showing toolboxes, compressor, TV, furnace, storage above workbench Wall between doors showing...

Tom, Here are the Latitude and Longitude coordinates for those who want to see the homestead in Google Earth. I originally put them in post #227! Lane p.s. Image Date in Google Earth is April 5th, 2008. Your new barn does not appear in this image (at least on my computer).

I have drywall in my garage and I guarantee that I'm in a colder climate than most of you (probably all of you in the lower 48). I just finished washing my truck in my garage. Have done so for about 4 years now (house and garage are 5 years old) and I have no cracking/peeling joints or mold in...

jbass350z, Not a bad question at all! I have the advantage of watching my house and garage being built 5 years ago. I (or my wife when I was working) took many pictures of the entire process. I know there are no water/gas/power/sewer/etc. lines under my garage. You can always call in one of...

Marc, Nice Garage/Shop. If you don't mind me asking, where abouts in Alberta (from another Albertan!). I know all about our high construction costs! Lane
