Used to work in a nursery about 200 yards from the ocean. Used the cheapest hair spray you could buy on garden tools.

In Colorado, all you need is a pickup truck with a 4' level in the gun rack and a golden retriever with a bandana!. Actually, there is no state license, but many counties have contractor requirements that mirror other state requirements. Plumbers and electricians are state licensed. Did some...

I've had good luck with the Home Depot and NAPA private label brands

I have 2 golf carts, a 36v and a 48v that are on chargers over night in a car port. Been doing it for 20 years with zero issues and now I’m going to worry about it?

I have a real barn that was converted to a shop. I have a 500 gallon propane tank that replaced to 120's. I did have to get an $85 county permit and meet some reasonable requirements for the installation. The lack of real insulation was a problem in keeping it heated with the 120's. Ran out...

I have an app called tune in on my iPad that has a recording function.

We live on the infamous Animas river that turned gold in 2017 due to a mine blowout. We had the EPA on our property at least four times testing water and last year the health department did an intensive test. Every test showed showed no bacteria. However, we have heavy metal filters for iron...

Most impressive. I find that a creating a quick and dirty solution that last years needs to rethought from time to time.

I converted a horse barn into a shop and poured concrete after the fact with no issues. However, the posts were metal and secured on concrete piers. My hay barn was a different story. Metal posts were in concrete and we poured the slab before framing the walls and placed bolts in the pour to...

Find this cleaning out a shed and curious to know more about it. The design is interesting, almost Raymond Lowey. However it weighs a ton.

Backyard Buddy never bolted down in 20 years.

I have a similar set up as pictured by BigGarage. However, it is difficult to carry anything up or down. I have a container just wide enough to fit between the handrails and it takes two people to utilize it, one pulling the stuff up and the other loading or unloading the container at the bottom.

Sometimes we overthink these things. The two 20’ containers in my avatar are sitting on 4” x 4” blocks with shims on dirt. 10 years later, they are still level and there is air circulation under the units. They used a roll off to deliver them and side to side and front to back they are with in...

See my avatar. Since a container is considered a portable structure, how can it decrease property values as it is probably not included in the assessed value?

About the only thing I’ve done since the original post is paint the ends of the roof and put some gravel down between the containers for parking. There have been no issues regarding heat thanks to the roof. About a year ago, I checked the level and everything is right on. The county tried to...
