I want to feel the A/C myself, having sweated a couple of gallons over the last few weekends bending conduit for the condenser units. Sigh. It will come...

Excellent tutorial on concrete slabs by LLWillysFan at: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=382626

I put two of these (Model# CP561118111R) in my 25x43x14.5 and they move a lot of air. I got them from Northern Tool on sale for about $75 each, but they don't carry that model any more. I wired for 4 fans (one in the center of each quadrant of the shop), and put in two of these, and they don't...

A short (2" - 3") piece of 1/2" or 3/4" PVC can work well, if the reversing of the units doesn't just shift the problem from afternoon to morning or vice versa.

The specs on that plug say it is rated for 3hp.

Hey LeeG! I do like your pantry style cabinets. OP, I had 24" deep full height cabinets in my last garage (typical garage cabinets around here), and you MUST do something to manage the stuff that gets lost in the back. As a simple solution, I bought a bunch of clear plastic totes that are...

Come on over!

Well, all the metal I expect to hang on the shop is done! Woo-hoo!!! My son Jordan came out early Monday morning, and we made full use my day off work (he works the back half of the week). We were able to get the remaining 12 panels in place pretty quickly, and then on to the final trim. Of...

The home stretch of exterior work! Eric and Jake came over bright and early Saturday (to miss the heat), and we made excellent progress on the short shop. We got the old shingles and tar paper off in about 75 minutes of work, and then we attached the eave trim. Once that was complete, went...

I also added a motion-sensor controlled light to the south side of the new shop next to the man door. Another adventure in conduit bending. The next step is to get the right profile for the rafter ends so that they don't show below the eave trim when it goes on. As the shop was built, it...

I've not posted much recently, as we've been working on getting the chickens comfortable and their coop (the Taj-MaCoop!!) ready for the long hot summer we are sure is to come. They now have a fan, movable partitions, a self-filling watering system, hanging feeders, a misting system and more...

Gotta keep those oranges cool!! :)

Nice to see some quality artwork on the walls!

All 14 today: Five Americaunas, 5 goldens, and 4 Wyandottes Not quite as many as jblnut, but a good start for us.

Stand by for chick pix! Only the first 6, a week ago. I'll get some current pictures...

Hey Dean, thanks for stopping by! Updates have been few and far between; I've been working on other things around the property. Grading, fencing, chicken coop, etc. But I'm about to get back on the shop. Next up is: 1) Re-roofing the old shop 2) AC units and the necessary wiring 3) Hardlines...

Bench tops look great! What are the pads on top of the benches?

That is great news Tommy (and/or Lauren)! You're still in our prayers! Glenn

That looks like a Siemens panel, which should be able to be converted from a Main Lug to a Main Breaker panel.

That looks like a perfect spot to collect everything that isn't nailed down!! Good work Mr. Y!
