    Tiny Shed Shop

    Really depends on what the output is meant to be. Not real efficient space for turning out kitchen cabinets, or large furniture. The older I get the more I tend to believe less is more, less clutter, less of the unnecessary one function tool.

    Any tips on fishing wire thru attic?

    I have done just what you are describing with a 10' piece of 1/2" pvc. Stick it in one hole about 8' away it bent down enough to hook it with a wire. If you have that laying around might try it.

    Price of osb way up!

    Yep Eastern Washington State Lowes and Home Depot 7/16" OSB $21.75, 2x4 and 2x6 up about 2.50-3 bucks from a month ago. With fires and 2 tropical storms headed to the gulf, plus covid don't think prices will change downward anytime soon.

    Light Fixture Layout Collections

    2 feet off wall seems close, I think 30" to 48" would work better. Is there a reason for the 24" spacing off wall?

    Does your state have licensing requirements for building contractors?

    Should I buy a Skid Steer?

    You should try living "In" the house. :) Guess it comes down to how much cash you have sitting around. Having a 1/4 of an acre that needs landscaped isn't much. I think I would rent one for a couple weekends get the big project done, maybe hire some help with other stuff. If this is a 5 year...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    Part of my shop height is 10'6" I have an 8500 lumen fixture in 5000k, I would think at 8' 5000L -4000L would be fine. I may get booed but have you looked at the Costco LED fixture 4000L at 4000k linkable, and on sale at times for $20 each? I think 9-12 lights may work, they do have similar...

    220 vs 240 outlet questions

    First Thoughts/Questions About Mini split systems

    Call a HVAC company they will give you a quote on what you want usually quotes are free. From what I have gathered using a single outdoor unit with two heads inside isn't as efficient as two smaller units and cost is comparable. So you might get two 18K or 24K units and have a better system...

    New Garage Slab isnt level.

    Some builders like to throw out out the "It's in spec's/tolerance" line, but whose spec's is he talking about? Show him this: https://www.archtoolbox.com/materials-systems/concrete/ff-and-fl-numbers.html Too bad the doors aren't on the low side. If you build cabinets along that back wall...
