    Talk me into buying this 70x115 Red Iron Shop.. looking for reasons NOT to buy.

    Looks like you could rent out the additional space as inside storage.

    Old Hog Shed to Shop Conversion. Where to Start!

    No smells, the barn hasn’t been used for hogs for at least 35 years. The last 20 years it’s just been storage and a home for mice. In the 90s I guess a guy used it to house dogs he was breeding. Ive pretty much got clear spans of 14x18 and 15x18 with enough ceiling height now. It will be...

    Old Hog Shed to Shop Conversion. Where to Start!

    Just an update. Slow but progress. I got all the holes in the barn patched up. Old windows and whatnot. Also got all the 110 ran and hooked up. I’ve got 10 circuits and 40 + receptacles including 4 on the exterior. I’ve got 8 4’ led shop lights which seems perfect, I’ve got each bank of 4...

    Security light, diy frosted lense?

    I’m going to try shielding the light, it has been raining since I posted and haven’t executed my fixes yet. I’m not worried about crime, but wouldn’t mind a little light where I park my trucks and trailers which the light I installed also covers. I live on a farm as well as my neighbor, we have...

    Backfilling a wet muddy garage foundation trench

    I’m not a foundation guy, and I understand the clean rocks self packing nature to reduce settling. Aren’t you just creating a French drain/drywell up against the foundation with no exit? Seems like making an easy path for water to run deep along the foundation isn’t ideal. I know nothing...

    Security light, diy frosted lense?

    It’s plastic, I’m going to try frosting with press n seal tonight and see if that does the trick. I’m also going to try shielding it so they don’t see the light directly from their windows. I’ll do some testing before a permanent solution is employed.

    Security light, diy frosted lense?

    I tried a few layers of press and seal this morning, but the sun was coming up. I’ll try again this evening.

    Security light, diy frosted lense?

    Thanks, I’m out of adjustment on aiming, but I’m going to try shielding it just to see how it would work. It is positioned at the peak of the roofline under a foot overhang so i can box it in using the roofline to shield it. I may even toy with a frosted shield. I’ve got some lexan laying...

    Security light, diy frosted lense?

    I put up a Lepower led security light on the front of my workshop. It’s a nice light and lights up the parking area more than adequately. The problem is the light is pretty harsh to the neighbors across my country road. They don’t care, but couldn’t stop laughing when referencing the...

    How I buried a 1/2 inch PVC conduit without a trencher

    Pressure washer works pretty well but gets messy fast. I bore holes under sidewalks with a pressure washer, usually to run 4” drain pipe. It’s by far the easiest way to do it.
