    Tire Rack

    I've been fighting for space in my old shop/shed which is mostly used to store my extra truck parts and other miscellaneous stuff. I was reading on here about folks finding/using old tire store racks to get the tires off the floor, so I did some thunkin (it hurts too :wtf: ),. Anyways I came...

    Why he has so many Tool Cabinets in his garage

    I currently have three in my shop. One for SAE, one for metric, on for airtools/misc. I keep thinking about buying a nice big one, but right now I can think of better uses for the money. The multiple boxes work just fine for now.

    isulating a steel building

    I had my shop insulated with the industrial spray in stuff. No moisture will build up between the outer panel with it. It cost a bit more than the sheet or fiberglass roles, but I liked how it owrked in my friends shop, so I went with it also.

    Chick Needs Some Help!

    The act was amended a year or so ago for provisions specific to the folks serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Your base legal or the local VA should let you know if they can legally proceed with the foreclosure or not. I had a troop I work with that they were going to try and kick them out of...

    What Did You Replace?

    Here is what I started with. Not terrible, but still very limiting for southern Mississippi dampness (especially for sheet metal and body work). My"Shed" as it is dubbed is about 12x16 with the overhang/single carport. 20 amp 110V power is all that is running there now. I had a bit more when...

    Chick Needs Some Help!

    I didn't think they could foreclose on you while husband is deployed. You need to check with the Veterans Administration to see what rights you have as family with a member deployed to hostile area.

    They help some, but had I too do it over again, I would have saved the money for something else. It is movable, but does take a lot of grunting to move a full vehicle with the drive train and the body on the frame.

    How does everyone store small hardware?

    I have a few of the small bin drawers, but mostly it is either ziplock bags or coffee cans so far. Not the best for sure, but someday I also plan on having some of the bin drawers being shown.

    Newbie with shop pics

    This is what I use to work out of, a 16x12 Shed with carport. I use it now to store lots of my extra truck parts or things I don't need in the way in the shop. You know how that goes, no matter what you build, they are never big enough for very long. For those of you that asked, here is the...

    Newbie with shop pics

    I took some more shots of it today. Still not the cleanest, but shows it a bit better. I had a friend help wire it up for me, and had it insulated with the blow in type stuff. So far I am very happy with it.

    Newbie with shop pics

    I have been really enjoying reading about all these shops. Mine was done a couple years ago so I could work on my old Chevy truck. Shop is 24x30x10 with a 15x18 overhang. With the two big doors situated the way they are it makes for a nice breeze to help keep things cool in the Mississippi...
