I have found myself in a bit of a situation here where I am really having trouble finding somebody to do a pad for my garage. I've talked to 3 different contractors, 2 said straight up that there is no way they would be able to get it done any time soon. The third was supposed to come back with...

Looks good. It also gives me an idea what my garage is going to be like for space once it is done as my dimensions will be very similar.

Thanks for all the input so far. I will try and respond to most of what has been said: - My first thought was much the same as most have mentioned regarding having it removed for free. There is only one elderly local guy who is apparently off and on as far as needing more lumber. I am presently...

Sorry man, but no amount of convincing will bring me around to change my mind. I've had a couple of family members beg and plead with me to do exactly what you mentioned. The problem is, first and foremost, that type of structure does not appeal to me at all. If I was on an acreage I would keep...

I have finally stopped procrastinating and decided that this is the year I pursue what I have wanted in the worst way for about 10 years now. The stars have aligned, so to speak, and between being forced to used my accumulated holidays, the Canadian government offering the home renovation tax...

Right off their website: Sale price adjustments will be allowed during the sale of an item when this item was purchased up to 14 days prior to the sale, a credit to your Menards Card or in-store credit will be issued for this balance. However, sale price adjustments are not allowed on end of...

I assume this thing was built the same year as the house, which would be 1919. It still has the partial remains of a "two holer" outhouse on the side opposite where this picture was taken. No power, and a wooden floor. Most of my relatives have tried to convince me to keep it just because they...

That sewing supply container is something I will have to look into. I was using similar style tackle boxes at my last job (auto parts) to store things like carb parts for snowmobiles and ATVs. I was planning on using the same thing at my new job, as we are taking over a truck that has far less...

I love radiant floor heat. We have it in our shop at work and I am yet to find an aspect I don't like about it. Unfortunately, my grandma's boyfriend looked into putting floor heat in when he does his shop. He looked into the regulations and in Saskatchewan we are required to run a boiler for...

Thanks for the welcomes. Itzkwik, normally I would be all over posting pictures of the 69, but I don't have any at this time. I had a bunch on yahoo and they closed down just after my old computer crashed. Now I just sent my laptop in for warranty repair and may end up losing everything that...

Usually introducing myself is priority #1 when I join a forum, but I think this time around I was too awestruck to remember. I came across the link while browsing on a 67-72 GM truck website. And all I can say right now is I F'IN HATE THIS FORUM:shocking:. No, not really, but all the pictures...

Wow, 24x40 is a pretty decent size for Saskatchewan. It seems like large garages are few and far between around here, let alone ones that are heated. Over my 22 years I have lived in 11 or 12 different houses and only one of them had a garage of decent size, and back then I was too young to make...

mhoffm911: I understand where you are coming from, but I have always had a do-it-yourself mentality. It is something I inherited from the rest of my family. We are more than capable of building one, we have a ton of carpenty experience and have built a garage before. Because of this, I have...

I've seen a ton of beautiful garages here so far. Many of them are far beyond what I will ever build. I am probably at least year or so away from being able to build a new garage. Since I don't have a fancy garage to post pictures, I figured starting a thread that is a little out of the norm...

I know you said 110, not sure if you are limited to that or if you selected that based on simply wanting a small welder. But, my opinion is if you have 220, definately make use of it. When I was in highschool they were running Lincoln Mig Pak 15's (they were 220's....I think they are like a...
