The sticker on mine says 2.4 amp motor. So maybe it's not quite as good a deal as I thought. But it has held up to light household use so far.

If you're buying from a remnant yard, that's about right. If your selling to the scrap yard, it's maybe $0.04/lb ($80/ton). But it really depends where you are too.

You're absolutely right. I should have said "some" power tools. I should have known better-- I have a 1950's Craftsman drill press. My comment might still apply to things like cordless tool battery tech though.

Heat's not good for electronics, but you're just raising the ambient temperature, not heating the motor. How far away? And will the motor be receiving radiant heat directly?

You could always go with this.

Power tools have to keep up with technology. Hand tools not so much and can be useful for a long time.

I don't see a problem. The heat is a hot water system, not a steam system, right?

Inspiring house and shop!

That's probably north of $2k just for the scrap steel if it can't be fixed or put to work. I wonder what it would cost to get it moved.

I'd spend the $500 on a tool cabinet to get organized.

If I had to guess where it would fail first if you just kept adding weight until failure, I'd guess it would fail at the screws holding the 2x6s to the walls. To be on the safe side, you could add a some large nails there (better under shear load than screws). If you wanted to be extra paranoid...

Bottle opener :lol_hitti

How is the header attached to the wall? It needs to tie into the wall with a mechanical connection and not rely on gravity / mortar.

Problem with that is moisture from the concrete and eventual rot.

If you don't have something better, you can use a 2x4 jack

How about some pics, inside and out?

Did the foam squeeze outside between the roof and walls? It might be interfering with the roof's drip edge and bringing water in.
