I have a sand mound system at my house. On the top of the sand mount in each respective corner there are 2" PVC pipes with screw caps on them. Apparently one of them is loose maybe after being run over by the riding lawn mower some I'm not really sure. I saw that it was out of the ground...

I've been working on the shop. My 30x40 pole building was "finished" in November. So far I have finished the electrical, framed out between the poles, added roxul insulation, added rafter vents for blow in insulation, added a vapor barrier, and I only have about 3 sheets of drywall left to...

30x40 with a 11/12 pitch attic truss. The upstairs room is 16x40 with an 8 ft ceiling, the side wall is about 5.5ft high so it really makes it a bigger room. Mine is going to be my man cave once i finish it off.

what size drill press? some of the smaller ones have stamped tables instead of cast ones and they will easily flex 1/8th of an inch if your putting down pressure to drill steel.

Ventilation, whether you are using coal or gas, ventilation is key...

So my garage is ready to drywall. I am using 5/8" fire rated drywall for the ceiling and walls. The ceiling floor joists are 24" OC same with the wall studs. I can't seem to find a consistent answer for how many screws go on a sheet. I've read from one every 12" to one every 6 to 8 inches...

Haha, I have an attached 2 car and a detached 3 car and my wife still complains she cant park inside anywhere! I told her when we got married, garages are for tools and toys, not cars... The bigger boxes are nice but I have the old style one and and I wish I could find one of those for $299...

Go with attic trusses. On my 30x40 I went with 11/12 attic trusses. That gave me a room 16'x40' with an 8' ceiling in the center with a 5' something sidewall height. Its literally a huge space.

WB Construction out of Shippensburg PA.

I actually live in Shippensburg. PM me if you want it, its still in the back of my truck so you could just shovel it right into yours.

So I have about a ton of stone dust leftover from my trench running electrical to my shop. What are some uses for it other than dumping it in a pile in the woods? I have some low spots around the building I could build up with it and cover with dirt if need be but I'm not really familiar with...

I had the same issue with the Gettysburg location, they never called me back after I called them twice. I wasn't about to call a third time. I ended up having a local plain contractor build my workshop. I couldn't be happier.

I would suggest going to the local library and getting a bunch of books on household wiring, then googling a ton and reading up on the subject from reputable sources. I knew nothing about electricity 3 months ago but IOT keep costs down on my garage build I did the electric with some help from...

My 2 year old loves spending time with me in the garage. I put my anvil on the floor and give him a 1lb ball peen hammer and he goes to town. Fair warning though, he will attempt to hit everything in the shop with it at first haha.

Thanks for all the good input guys. I put the ceiling lights on 2 circuits because I was under the impression that most people only put 8 to 10 outlets on a 20 amp circuit. The double outlet box on 2 circuits sounds like a good idea. I didn't know about the GFCI. That was a question that I...
