Time to build a hot rod!:3gears:

Are you evicting the renters just as the temperature starts to drop? How heartless. How cruel. Say it isn't so.

Apparently none of your cars leak oil. A wooden floor would never work in my shop. Everything I build in my shop; engines, transmissions, etc leak.:bowdown:

I was up in your area over the weekend. Had a full plate yesterday and did not think you would be around today. I ran I-64 from I-70 to I-270 so dropping by would have been a snap. Trip came up unexpectedly. Would like to see your place if the opportunity presents itself again.

Enjoying your ICF build. Not something we see very often on the Garage Journal. Can you offer up a couple of photos here and there showing how you fit and secure the windows and doors and how you run your electric cables in the walls? Inquiring minds want to know.

This is the result of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Land_Survey_System . Shows what can happen if the government surveyors are right behind the explorers and ahead of the settlers. PS Ryan, Answer your ******** Personnel Messages.:Sleep:

Another vote for Flickr. Been using it for at least 15 years with no complaints. Free, easy and fast.

NICE!

You can turn the bottom chord (joist) of a truss into a box beam with OSB and some 2x4 lumber. Then you can run nailers between the trusses to carry the sheet metal. I would use 2x4 standing up with a 1x4 flat for the nailing surface.

I built my 30' x 40' using a kit from Adams Truss. I contracted the concrete and did the rest myself. Took me about three months working intermittently. As with any project of this magnitude burnout is a real possibility. The best way to avoid that is using professionals for the most labor...

Sounds like an interesting project. I use Flickr as my photo host. It is free and has an easy uploading program. Individual saved photos are easy to link to Forum posts.

Best place to ask that question is the Garage Journal's Lighting & Electrical Forum. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=30 That place is populated by a bunch of nit picking sparkies that delight in showing off their knowledge of the National Electric Code. Since you need...

I have 70 amps in my shop. I keep thinking it is not enough and planned to upgrade when I added a 3.5 ton heat pump. My A/C guy said don't bother unless the lights momentarily dim when the unit powers up. Has not happened yet.

I suspect a lot of tandem garages are turned into workshops, gyms, billiards spaces, and, heaven forbid, junk storage. What this proves is real men need a space of their own. A place where they can beat their chests while howling like coyote. Thankfully we have the Garage Journal to show us...

Around here the inspectors want to see the printing on the side of metal conduit and PVC pipe.

With concrete footers you will never know if you used to much mix but skimping will eventually come back to haunt you.

Badger Jeep? Nice little rig. Space for kids under the bonnet?

Our Sears and KMart both closed within a month of each other. Our local ACE does not have any USA made that I can find. Funny how their glue on stickers always seem to cover the spot on the box end wrenches where the made in USA stamp was located. If the Chinese can build the bomb and put up...

Cobalt, cutting oil, very slow speed, steady pressure. If you can set the job up in a drill press or a mill (slower speed) that is the way to do it. Do you hear an echo?

Any chance your excavators can haul those rocks off for you. They usually have a place to take stuff like that. There is nothing more useless and ever in the way as a pile of big rocks.
