    Flooding garage

    Ok, I'll give it a shot. I would put a drain with a grate over it across the front. This would entail taking a concrete saw and cut out the drain. You can get drains I believe from HD,Lowes, Menards etc. I may not be explaining it well enough. Maybe one of the other members can do better. If you...

    Old Hog House Revival Thread....

    Sorry for the misunderstanding on the "walkway", it just looked a lot wider. On the barn doors, I was thinking hinged on the sides and latched in the middle, not the sliding type. I figured a board across the top to stop them from being pushed in by the wind. I didn't know you were renting, I...

    Old Hog House Revival Thread....

    Looks interesting. If you can maybe you can put a set of barn doors where the windows and door are? Put a header of proper size and then the doors or an overhead door. I'll bet you could almost get a pickup between the supports if you pulled in the mirrors. Probably move the supports back about...

    small garage ideas...

    I don't know if I can explain this but I'll try. Put your tools, drill press,band saw, sander etc., on 2x2 pieces of plywood. Build you a roll around bench with locking casters and make it where you can slide one tool out and put another tool in as you need it. Sort of a swiss army type of...

    Newbie with a mystery garage

    I would guess given the info, that the original owner had one of the few cars during that era. This may be the reason for the "pit". Also being the founder of the electric co., means he probably was rich enough to afford said car and building to house it. You may have a piece of Pittsburgh...

    Does anyone have this 6 car garage?

    Wow! I wonder if a person(w/o kids) could live in that? I mean as long as you exhausted any fumes of any type it should work. Vehicles on both ends and one bay for a shop and another for ??. Upstairs could be a nice living space for 1 or 2 people with possibility of a small guest room. Just a...

    can a pole building be insulated well enough for a live able space?

    Well if you're gonna do just 16', why not just insulate the living space real well and use the bubble wrap for the rest of the building. Maybe put a travel trailer in there at the back?

    Anyone have any ideas on keeping CARPENTER BEE's away???

    Build yourself a couple of the traps. They do work. I've had to empty my jar once already this year. Google for images or youtube it. I only have one but they seem to have thinned out already.

    Drafty French door advice please

    Could you possibly make or buy a dowel big enough to fill that hole and redrill it? Also put a sleeve inside the new hole to help with wear on the hole after you drill the new one.

    Compressor advice

    I was given this old Montgomery Wards compressor. It runs fine and is wired to run on 220. The motor is a Doerr 2hp, rpm is 3450(yeah I know it's high). What I need to know is if I can put this pump and motor on a bigger tank? The current tank is 20 gal. I hope the pics come out ok.

    ground?

    Rickochet, the ballast are Triad by MagneTek. The model # seems to be B432I120RH-A. If I have to change ballasts, I guess they weren't so cheap...lol. Oh well. What's the consensus on the Phillips ballasts at Lowes?
