Really? Oil doesn’t bead up at all? I hadn’t heard others echo this much, but if that’s the case I might rethink my plan a little.

I bought a plate compactor with mine so I could finish up the concrete prep for my shop. I have a dozen other projects I’ll end up using it for over the next year or so including replacing my front sidewalk to the porch (the original builder seems to not have compacted that as the soil and...

I realized this and have accepted that my lift bay will just be a single car. I’m okay with that as I don’t have so much going on project wise that I really need two cars worth in that bay. I’ll just have a lot of room around it to work and have work bench and tool box space. I’m in the...

I’ve been a bit radio silent as I’ve been busting my buns to get everything ready for the slab. Concrete was poured today, the pump truck was out at 5AM and the first truck was here at 5:30. It was a pretty hot day today but luckily they started early and the slab was shaded all day. Basically...

13” off you possibly are in a footing. Most slabs are 4”, but it is possible yours is 6”. Thicker than 6 is very unlikely for a slab.

Both bays have man doors near them, but the access from my house makes the south (right looking at the front) much easier to access, so that is going to be the “main” bay door. I do mainly car stuff, but hope to get into some metalworking in the future. For now that consists of welding when...

I’ve got the bookshelf girts as well, curious about how exactly you did the foam. You went on the outside of the posts before the metal was put on?

Drawing it up I have about 6 feet between a large pickup and my box as it stands. I could go a couple feet closer but even if I did I wouldn’t be getting enough space to get a second car back there in that scenario. I could plan to move the box to the side and stuff but even then a second car is...

One other question I have, is 19' off the back wall for the lift too much? I'd love to be able to park a car behind the lift while it's got a car in the spot as well, but that's not the most important thing ever. I feel like if I moved it to 16' or something I might be okay but I don't want to...

Good question and something I hadn’t thought of yet. I’ll ask the builder, but I am pretty well at budget for now so I may finish the ceiling at some point and do blown in. Good catch!

Hey All, I finally started on the shop that I've so long dreamed for. I'm doing a 40'x60' pole barn with 17' clear height. I mainly do automotive hobby projects that I'll be ramping up as I get the space going but own a butcher shop and do a bit of medium duty truck maintenance and industrial...

I’ve got a Gearwrench set from 8mm to 36mm with no skips. I never use the 8 or 9 and bigger than 24 I think I’ve only ever used the 29mm for the crank bolt on my Mercedes. 13mm - 24mm is probably the sweet spot.
