do you know what the Bronce weighs? Or any car really. Is the effort to push the loaded box less than, equal to or greater than your reference vehicle? That’s the best I can come up with. Good luck

Can’t wait to see the hook you hang it on

I used my M18 mini chainsaw ( with an already trashed chain) to cut the 4-8” of ice holding my garage doors down into pieces and popped them free with a regular shovel. Then used said blocks to make cover in case the neighbors wanted to have a snowball fight

Undersized and tapped in. McMaster sells to nuts of various flavors and grip ranges.

Looks like a great project. Got a timeframe for the build?

Left handed Wiss upholstery scissors I’ve had since 1995 when I took upholstery at the vocational school my last year of high school.

I did a mix. I have OSB from 4’-8’ with metal W panel from floor to 98”. The extra 2” makes a trough of sorts in which I ran MC cable in I made some brackets and mounted a junction box at the top, ran my MC to it then ran MC behind the metal panels, notching the OSB where needed. My outlets are...

Is this a one time thing or going to be a project that keeps coming up? What kind of tolerances are you trying to hold? A straight cut isn’t going to mean much of the surface you are building on is best to hell and not flat. Got any friends with a band saw that like beer?

I have an Optrel Panoramax and love it. I just bring myself to stick weld with it. My Miller Digital Infity is a close second, the headgear almost has too many adjustments, but I think I have it about dialed in The Miller Digital Elite had been my go to for awhile and it was nice that almost...

Clean set up. Since you know where everything goes, clean ups after a project should be quick. Play one song on the radio and don’t get sidetracked and the shop will be good to go

I hung some of those metal racks in the GF’s garage. They’d weren’t terribly expensive. If they didn’t go that small, I’d probably still get them and cut down as needed.

Zach at NTX Foamworkx services that area and does great work at super reasonable rates with excellent communication. John at Guardian Garage doors is in that area, top notch service. I did 8’ of metal W panel on the walls with an OSB backer from 4-8’. Lots of outlets, lots of lights...

For my cordless tools, I picked up some brackets from Proper tool company out of Austin. For your corded tools, get rid of duplicates that you have cordless versions of. A good corded drill would be about the only exception I’d make. If you do end up putting them in a cabinet, leave a note...

Soldering iron and a steady hand

I doubt the inspector gives two poops about the lift. Maybe the electrical. Drilling into the slab probably voids some part of the house warranty if I read it correctly that it was a new house. But that would only be an issue if you had foundation issues. I grew up in Mesa and never heard of...

When is the last time you replaced the contact tip?

OP mentioned 110mph wind load. Did some googling and it seems like 110mph and a large structure is a modern day Wizard of Oz scenario. A storm in my area in March with 85mph winds flipped several trailers over and took a couple of shops away along with the doors off my shop. 110 mph wind load...

No slab but can you pour concrete for columns/posts? If that’s a no, I’d think you’d be limited to something portable. I understand the land is leased but could you negotiate a lower lease rate if you left the building?

Most residential hardware is 2-3/8” backset Commercial is 2-3/4”. You can get 2-3/8” backset in commercial but it typically wont be readily available. You may have to buy a complete lockset and then a separate latch or deadbolt. If you are doing a fresh install on an unprepped door, it doesn’t...

I hung my Sunco’s with beam clamps and eye bolts I got from Amazon. Easy peazy
