    New Build Garage - What do you wish you had done?

    1. plumb it up. 2. put a bathroom in it. 2. gone with thicker insulation 3. poured a 3ft concrete skirt all around the building. 4. epoxy the floor BEFORE 1 single tool was moved in the shop. This one is probably my biggest regret.

    Pole barn insulation questions

    By no means am I an expert, but it just wasn't in my budget for spray foam insulation on my post frame. I opted for the 2" vinyl backed insulation over the double bubble.. Don't get me to lyin', but I think it's like an R-6, R-10... not much at all. however, they layed it over, then screwed...

    HDPE or OSB bench top?

    When I built my bench, the top was 3/4" plywood. I then added a sheet of MDF on top of that, screwed down. Once it gets beat up, gouged, stained, etc several years down the road, pull that sheet off, flip it over, screw it down and start again. Once that side is worn out, trash it and replace.

    BendPak V-Max Elite air compressors

    Well, I got the call on a compressor today... Unfortunately, family needs come before my wants, and I had to respectfully decline the offer. Hopefully one of you lucky SOB's enjoys my "almost had it" compressor! :dunno::D

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    I went in yesterday for a blue cart as well.. Of course, they were sold out. Manager said they were gone the first day, as well as the black ones shortly after. However, I got a raincheck for one, at the sale price of 149.99. He said they didn't have any coming in on the truck this coming...

    feasible 4 stage compressor for shop air?

    Thanks so much Bill! Good food for thought.. I just HATE to drop MORE money on this thing... Wish I could unload it and be done with it. Not a whole lot of scuba shops around Oklahoma... Much less someone wanting to drop 12K on a compressor.

    feasible 4 stage compressor for shop air?

    I would love to be able to sell it, as well as the cascade system! No takers as of yet.. That's why I would like to put it to use instead of it just setting there..

    F15 T12 LED replacement options?

    Hi guys.. House was built in 2000, we've been in it the last 3 years.. Our above cabinet lighting in the kitchen (accent lighting?) runs off F15 T12 bulbs (18"). I finally have a ballast going out in one, which would be a good opportunity to start the switch to LED... Except, I'm having a...

    Overkill for outside shop light?

    Hi all. Long story short, I demo'd a convenience store/gas station. In the process, I cabbaged on to a couple of wall packs with the idea I would use them for outside lighting on my shop. I live in the country and it's pretty dark. I've been reading some of the threads on lighting, and am...

    Show us your fire pits!

    Just an old tractor rim, with pavers around it.. If I had to do it over, I would have buried the rim deeper, and only gone with 2 rows of pavers. When your sitting in front of it, its too high, and you only get heat from the chest area up... Another one of my typical failed projects... Lol

    OK guys... I need some help.. Not an electrician by any means, but in the "best light fixture" thread, I bought the Maxlite LED fixtures for my new shop. Thought there would be wiring instructions in the box, but not the case.. I hate to sound like a *******, but does anyone have a wiring...
