I don't know what kind of woodwork you are contemplating, but I would 100% skip the separate enclosed space. Those walls will get in the way of everything. Allocate some dineros to the dust collection budget and you'll be fine with a good dust collection system and infinitely happier with the...

Hand drawn plans?! Padfoot compactor?! (y)(y)(y)

The floor framing isn't really a big deal for you. Just add intermediate supports (piers) between the ground and joists to suit your wants/needs. I wouldn't want to park your mower on a floor with joists at 24" centers without first investigating the construction of the floor structure. If you...

You can tap into the water line anywhere on your property after the meter, although having a shutoff inside the house would be ideal. Nice thing about water is it's pressurized, so routing it is pretty forgiving. No one has ever regretted installing a spare 3" ABS or PVC conduit with a 1/4"...

Radiant offers fast recovery times but you need to decide you want heat a day in advance. Forced air provides heat immediately. The more time you spend in the space the more sense radiant makes. A moisture barrier under the slab always makes sense. The value of insulation under the slab and...

If you grasp the blue part and pull on the drawer pull looking end what happens?

Attempting to wash a car inside in an area not fully isolated for that purpose seems unwise. I don't see how you could do that - even with a sponge and bucket - without getting many things wet that should be kept dry. In full disclosure, I have never attempted it, so maybe I overestimate the...

That's a 200 watt solar panel, a 180AH LifePO4 battery, charge controller, and 2,200/4,400 watt inverter. You can piece it together for a fraction of that if your fairly handy and don't need the nifty suitcase packaging/portability. Inverter: 250 Battery: 180 Solar panel and charge controller...

What issue are you facing that has prompted this question?

The engineering/construction of those trusses was inadequate when they were installed. Good things that break get repaired. Bad things that break get replaced. Distinguishing between the two is a valuable life skill. Demo the building and build what you want - correctly - from scratch. I...

In your design the pickets are little more than aesthetic, so you can make them as light as you want. 11ga is about 75% heavier than 16ga. That extra weight hanging off the lever makes a difference. 1/8" for the mains would be plenty. If you use round pickets you can easily run them straight...

Find a new insurance company or tell them to write an exclusion for any damage occurring to your insured premises resulting from the absence of such a shut off.

What gizard said, but I'd 100% take that straight back to the shop and let them do the work they were too lazy to avoid the first time. They can do it while you wait.

Assuming it was installed correctly to start, you can ignore all of that as long as the replacement is basically the same size/efficiency. If it was running correctly when removed from service, you can generally assume the installation was at least adequate. The question at this point is why was...

99% chance that tank is HDPE which is impervious to all adhesives. Only option is to plastic weld it. If you need filler, any milk jug will do.

My advice is to enlarge your footprint. I would like to be able to open the doors without hitting anything and that width won't cut it unless you're only using it for a single vehicle. I would never build a garage less than 30' x 30' for the exact reason Torque&Recall mentions, but you should...

Unless I was about to pour concrete over that I would leave it alone. You could get lucky and kick the bucket before that pipe springs a leak.

What's the center to center on those?

With a national chain mudjacking outfit I would expect higher prices and poorer quality but there are exceptions to every rule. Ask around until you find someone who is satisfied with the work they received. Look at the work yourself to see if it meets your standards. Don't be surprised if you...

The cracks you're asking about are irrelevant. There should be something more than hope connecting the beams to the post.
