Thanks again for your perspective. Maybe thats what I need is a "drafter" at this point. Maybe I need someone who can first pull some conceptuals together. However, again no disrespect to the architects, but let's be real, this project is a big rectangle box with some rooms added inside for an...

gabeancounter: spoke to Shawn.( http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cps/1658423242.html) Sounds promising. Mailed out a collection of ideas to him; lets see what he comes with....

Went to HF and got 2 rain checks for 13 drawer bottoms and 2 sides. They claim they'll have 'em Monday (yeah right, that's four Mondays in row now). I fully intend to use to use the 20% coupons.

bimmer1980: I checked the Foltz website and they don't do NC Too bad gabeancounter: I called Shawn today and left him a voicemail. Everyone: Thanks again for your experiences and input. I know not everyone puts up big buildings, but I heard time and time again on this site to build the biggest...

You mean you're getting a GeoBarn? Size? I just went back and re-read the previous GeoBarn build threads. I can just picture this massive structure tucked in our woods. No nearby neighbors and doing what we want without someone worrying what time I start up my Harley. I HATE homeowners...

bimmer1980: Love the P5R rule, it works for me. I'll check the Foltz buildings. Thanks for posting your pictures. onemoretry: I've been following GeoBarns and the builds. They're almost too beautiful to be a shop. However, these buildings would certainly fit in our wooded setting.....drooling...

You would think that in this economy, pretty much everyone would be "excited" to get some work, any work. That being said, I wonder if some builder or company would like to "sponsor" or showcase their building or building concept of a "Shop in the Woods". Great marketing tool or ?????

The problem with "stock plans" from what I saw so far is that we want a BIG building. It's not a garage, Its not quite an Industrial Building. We have 4+ wooded acres. We want a Shop with an 800 sqft Apartment inside. Not exactly what your next door neighbors have. And I understand the value of...

Thanks for the links. I'm still reeling from this quote. You're right, it shouldn't have been that difficult but I'm not an architect. No disrespect to the architects out there but was this guy just fishing for a sucker (fish) or ??? I'll have to do some serious searching ....

I just received a quote for building plans from an architect in NC. I sent him several sketches and threads from GJ for our proposed "Shop with Apartment". We were leaning towards a metal frame 50 x 100 x 16 (aprox) structure. This was the response from the architect: " If what we have to...

Ok, I was at the Sturgis Rally one year camping at Hog Heaven on top of the hill. There was a young biker from Denmark traveling the USA on a Sportster. One morning, doing some maintenance on the bike, he dug a small pit underneath the bike and was preparing to do an oil change there at the...

This, too, is our dream. We have 4+ wooded acres north of Charlotte, NC. I have the wife convinced this is the way to go until a house can be built. We hate neighbors and have too much stuff to cram into a smaller house. -- Any existing plans out there for this type of project? Any architects...

Got mine over the weekend! Kool stuff!

Just finished up the same project. Follow all precautions. This was a great resource: http://ddmgaragedoors.com/diy-instructions/replace-garage-door-torsion-springs.php#introduction I would watch all the videos. Then watch'em again. I had a great local supplier who sold me replacement springs...

Last year, we fought it here in the armpit of the Midwest - Michigan. Cost us nothing. We went to the citys own website, found comps from the "property sold" listings, brought them to the Appeals Board. 50% of the property transfers were Sherriff foreclosures (think it's bad where you live?)...

Being from the South with the anti-union mentality, it's understandable how people perpetuate the myth about how unions work and why they were created in the first place. The truth is that wages have little to do with the actual cost of an automobile. I know, you're gonna say that's impossible...

Two boxes, ONE handle each.:confused:

I think that's my bosses garage. Yeah, it is...that's why we didn't get raises. Son-of-a----!

Both executives were prime examples of the worst the automotive industry barfed up in a long time (especially Nardelli). Since this is a Tool forum, and we cant get enough of the Buy American theme, can I share a good tool/Buy American story? I had a old Buck knife (warrantied for life). I went...
