    Will a couple of ceiling fans be worth it in a 24x36x12 garage?

    I wired and was glad I did. 12 foot ceilings are tough as previous posts have indicated but I found the "Big *** Fan" company (real name) and they have the large fans that work great. Here is the link https://www.haikuhome.com/bigger-fans-for-home

    Underground water line

    I use the HDPE for all long runs underground. Last year the lake level was down and I had to chase water 280 feet. I used this pipe and on e the lake filled back up I just rolled the pipe up and stored it. All of my hose pipes are underground with this. The main difference between the two over...

    Who built their shop over extended time period

    I had my 30 X 50 slab poured four months before I had my steel building erected. It sat again for another six months before I epoxied the floor. Several months later I built my workbenches so I had a place to work. The next spring, I built interior office, bathroom and water room then waited a...

    Anyone have an Advantage lift?

    Yes I installed it myself. Took about half a day but did another set of hands to put the tracks in (red tracks). Works great everyday.

    Garage layout plan - opinions welcome

    I will answer by highlighting what I did to my 30 X 50 ft shop that if I was to do it again, I would fix. 1. More outlets. 120 and 240. I have 120 about every six feet but still find regularly that I need more. Do you have the right amount? Maybe, but you will always need more. 2. I have six air...

    HF US General 44" vs. HUSKY 66x24"

    There is a very detailed analysis of all boxes on this site. The author measured everything and compared all the op boxes. The HF came out on top in. Out of the categories measured. I have two for the last five years since I read it and have not been disappointed at all.

    Workshop paint

    I would suggest the flooring forum, we have dozens of posts concerning this exact subject. You can see from the pic I used two stage epoxy and it has worked out great for everything except welding on it.

    Garage floor for Welding

    I used a premium, 23 mil thick epoxy and it still retains marks form sparks and slag. Bare concrete is best.

    Anyone ever regret getting a shop?

    Not for a second. Mine was a dream to build, get a few cars, etc. it is the center of our world now with an office, full bathroom, two cars one frame off restore one muscle car for shows, our house storage, etc. The money was well spent and has only increased in value to my family.

    Have You Seen These Yet?

    I talked to them' about $400 per light. It would take many years to recoup the cost based on electricity savings.

    Oil drain reservoir for the shop, worth it?

    I use the Northern Tool one with a 5 gal bucket. It works great with the lift, is adjustable and easy to take to quickie lube and dump it. I also use the flat pan if doing an oil change off the lift.

    Anyone have an Advantage lift?

    I bought one about two years ago now. It is well built and the company provides simple but great customer service. I have my 1970 Olds 442 W-30 on it all the time and while in the process of putting fuel injection on it run the lift up and down 30 times a day. No problems at all. I would buy...

    Stainless for a welding table?

    Thanks for the responses. I had overlooked the hexavalent chromium issue, not to be messed with. It is rather thin also. I think maybe I will keep it for a clean table and make my own welding table.

    Compressor Airline Plumbing

    I would use the 3/4" lines, larger volume means more air availability. I used a drop at each regulator and it has worked great with no water issues with my plasma cutter or paint guns.
