Looks like the inside of a lighted sign.

--DISCLAIMER-- I haven't seen every consumer router router config. That sounds more like an issue of how the static IP's were set up. There's usually a way to set the DHCP scope/pool (which IP's are available for DHCP) and the netmask for the wireless network (which IP range is "local" -...

The door was engineered for the wind load for your area. The struts give the door the needed lateral stiffness. If the door blows in during a hurricane, the garage and more of your house could follow. I'd be hesitant to swap them out without input from the garage door company. I just finished...

Another (non 2x4)tip: attach printed labels to sheet magnet, then cut out and use to list what is in metal drawers. I use them on file cabinets. When things move, as they invariably do, the magnet follows.

On my plans, the engineer specified #2 SYP, or better. I'm pretty sure I read something about minimum lumber for framing in the code, as well (and "white wood" wasn't mentioned).

High lift or vertical lift are the things to search for to see how to route a sectional door with higher ceilings.

Exterior trim - especially on the outside corners between the main roof and the lower lean-to roofs. My building has a 16" overhang on all sides, and I couldn't find any reference photos of other metal-sheathed pole buildings in this configuration.

I'd guess 16' ceiling also. With the pitch, might be 20 at the peak of the roof.

This is 3" with MHF. I tried to use a telescoping magnet retriever, but can't get it far enough into the conduit. I then tried to use a large magnet outside of the conduit, but the bit and screws must be underground. Regardless, I seriously doubt they'll cause a problem with the MHF. I just...

PS, can I give you my wife's number? :bounce:

Duct seal is cheap and easy to find, so that's what I will use. When I volunteered with Scouts, I taught wilderness survival. Steel wool plus a 9 volt battery makes an impressive fire starter. Try it. I wouldn't put any near electrical components.

"Protecting" conduit openings at bottom of panel? Two ground screws and the square bit from my 11-in-one have already fallen into the abyss. What's a compliant way to "plug" the upper end of conduit at the bottom of a panel to keep things from falling into them? Rag? Paper towel? A layer of...

Depending on where you are located specifically, the 4x4 posts might succumb to wind before they rot. I'm finishing up a workshop build near Pensacola, and mine was engineered for 140mph windloads - 6x6 posts. The inspection department said that they are starting to see more post frame...

I'm in the same boat as the OP (44x50 with panel in one corner), but I have been planning on a subpanel in the opposite corner from the beginning. However, this discussion has got me questioning something else. Since the "main" shop panel is a subpanel and the ground and neutral aren't bonded...

The Liftmaster H-2211 opener looks like it was designed to be used with roll up doors. Does anyone know if it could be used in a high lift installation with a standard garage door? My gut says it can, since it operates by turning a shaft (via sprockets and a chain) but wanted to check here...

I rented an excavator for part of my shop site prep and a skid steer for another. The skid steer was easy to learn, easy to use, quick and agile. The excavator had a steeper learning curve. I used every minute of my alloted meter time and barely got that part done. I'd rent a skid steer...

Think of yourself as a temporary caretaker. Then having a few vintage jacks makes perfect sense.

+7 on Masonite (tempered hardboard). Mine is two layers of 3/4 MDF topped by a solid core door topped by the hardboard. I wrapped the whole assembly with solid lumber trim so that the hardboard is flush with it. I then covered the hardboard with a couple coats of water-based poly. It's held up...

Contact the manufacturer and ask them what the shelf life is.

Interesting. I'll call the permit office on Monday and verify that they expect the same, but that will make things a little easier. That said, conduit bending is a skill. I might be passable at it by the time I am done. Pretty pitiful at the moment, though - and slow.
