Hey Rian, The "S" is looking great... Nice job on the grille! And, the wheels you've located will be just right! As far as the tow ball... Around here, smallish utility trailers have couplers that require a 2" ball... usually with a 3/4" shank... but larger diameter shanks are available...

Re: DRIVESITFAR IS GETTING ORGANIZED in his 9x15 portion of 2 car garage. DIY’s & COO Hey Drives... & Mrs Drives... A belated Happy Anniversary! Wow... 33 years... Congrats! Interesting you mention crawling around under the sink to replace a faucet. That's one of my LEAST favorite things to...

Oops... I had intended to post a screen shot from one of the forums I found... ...D Sent from my SM-N960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

I just looked up "Tacoma company blast cabinet upgrade" and found links to several articles and videos on the subject. I have spoken with Mike at the Tacoma company. He is a nice guy and happy to talk you through any aspect of media blasting. They have kits available for sale or you can find...

Hmmm... I seem to remember having one of those gas pedals when I was in high school. Of course, mine wasn't personalized! That pic and your previous post made me smile... Dreams indeed... ...D

Hey JB... Those were my thoughts exactly... Living arrangements, transportation, gainful employment... all fairly easily resolved... ...D

..."I may add some black edging to it"... Yep... that was my point. You did a fantastic job cleaning and painting your bowtie emblem... with a bit of masking and some black paint, it can have any look you want. Or... just leave it as it is... it looks great! ...D

I saw this as I was browsing... not sure if it was OEM or if you might like it... If you do, you're about 1/2 way there... ...D Sent from my SM-N960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

LOL... What a great idea... I solved my problem by selling it... lol Next car was an MGB GT. Fun car!! ...D

I build the loft in one of my buildings using engineered joists. Would absolutely do it again! With a 24' span, 3/4" OSB subfloor, 16" o/c spacing for the joists, the floor is rock solid. This technology has been in use for more than 30 years. All of the new houses I've seen are built using...

Hey Rian, First off... a belated Happy Birthday! Great to hear you were able to spend the day doing the things you enjoy! Do you know the number designation of the original USA bulbs? Being a Ford guy, I'm not familiar with the type of base GM used on that truck... You're making great...

Hmmm... maybe I got a bogus manual... You obviously have customers that like these buildings. I don't. I definitely won't be buying another one and will probably sell this one once I'm finished with it. Each to his own... ...D

Congrats! No doubt the concrete walls were a bit spendy but, IMO, the only way to go. I'm sure you're stoked... you've made great progress... A very nice build!! ...D

And... I'm not saying I'm not a fan of metal buildings. At some point, I am considering a red iron building... in size extra large... lol But, I will say I'm not as happy as I could be with my VersaTube purchase. As I mentioned, it's OK. It'll keep the snow off my tractor. I'm not thrilled...

Looks like you found a great solution to the water situation! So... is your building finished?

The way it's illustrated in the manual, I cant see how the siding would overlap the slab. The ideas above make sense... would create a step for the siding to terminate in. But, that's not what the manual says. I'm not saying these buildings won't work... for someone. What I am saying is...

...actually, they do recommend a slab (or footings) larger, by 3", than the width/length of the building. The implied reason is to avoid placing anchor points less than 1 1/2" from the edge of the concrete. In the above pic, it clearly states: Frame width + 3". Detailed drawings...

I'm on the home stretch of putting up a VersaTube structure. Mine is 14' x 30.5'. I won't repeat all of the details here... if you're interested, check the last page or 2 of my thread. Overall opinion at this point... if I had it to do over, I WOULD NOT DO IT AGAIN!! As mentioned in my...

Hey Don... You did an incredible job of restoring the iron clock base! Very nicely done... no doubt in my mind, it looks better than it did when new. And, I'm liking your vision for your bank building. Very cool that your neighbor gave you his excess building material. Considering the...

Re: DRIVESITFAR IS GETTING ORGANIZED in his 9x15 portion of 2 car garage. DIY’s & COO Hey Drives, FWIW... 3' bolt cutters are called "master keys"... lol Seems you've been busy! ...D
