    Holes in 1/2-inch pt II... WTF?!

    Could you plasma cut the holes a bit oversized and the use a small threaded plate below, and perhaps welded to) the main plate; or some such variation? I think you're going to break 10 times the number of taps trying to thread the holes as you are riuning bits now.

    Cleaning rusty tools / will vinegar work?

    Pardon my ignorance here; I've read this thread and several other like it, but I must be missing or misunderstanding the final step to this whole process. In reference actual work tools (non-collector's tools), what do y'all do to keep re-rusting from occuring? I have a hard time believing...

    My new socket systems garage build

    Gotcha. I thought I had seen all the tilt-up anchor bases were pointing the same direction, meaning the frames would all tilt up from the same direction. Looking forward to more progress. :beer:

    OK Contractors' justify your costs, or am I a sucker?

    I measured my usable garage space today....

    1) Abandon the attached garage to nice soccer-mom or daily driver cars, lawn equipment, bicycles, go karts, tennis racquets, and other useless family ****. 2) Build detached garage designated as ManArea to hold ManStuff, and only ManStuff. 3) Be happy you stuck the Mrs. with the crappy...

    Can you have a lean-to, or separate shed for garden tools, ladders, riding mowers, etc?

    Combative Neighbors

    It looks like you could have very easily built the garage in the corner with the red vehicle and run your own driveway parallel to the neighbor's driveway. EDIT: Having read the remainder of the thread, I think the current orientation may be the least ******..but still ******. IMO, The OP...

    My New Garage Build

    How thick did you go on the slab? And, how did you determine the sizing for the footer area under the posts? I can't tell if you enlarged the footings under the posts or not. It doesn't look like you did anything different/special for the monolithic slab just for the Socket Systems...

    I need some perspective and options, please. Warning: Big Pics!

    Here a picture after the fire was cleaned up. The whole 2-vehicle storage area plus mini-shed on the right is now one large shed (approx 24 x 24) that has to come down since it's too close to the property line. You can also see there's lots of room for one big, detached garage or an attached...

    I need some perspective and options, please. Warning: Big Pics!

    Hello all, Daily lurker, rare poster. I'd like some opinions, qualified or not, on my garage re-build. I have questions about an existing slab I want to 're-use'. Thanks for any input you may have. Hope this isn't too long and rambling... My codes inspector stopped by to let me know that...
