Does anyone know what the BC building code says about using 2x4 studs for 11 foot walls? I did a search and all I could come up with is, it's ok if you double them up. Why would I double them up when I could just use 2x6s instead?:confused: Anyway, thanx in advance! Rick

I like it!

Re: Can my garage get your vote? Voted...for Jack, no brainer.

They swapped out all the lights in the school I work at and are replacing all the ones throughout the district too. I was told it will save thousands per YEAR and they recycled all the old ones for scrap metal. We needed half the amount of bulbs and fixtures to produce the same if not better...

I too am bad with keeping misc nuts and bolts...problem is I don't have ANYWHERE to store them right now (waiting for building permit) so they sit in my empty Tim Horton coffee tins waiting....I wonder what Freud would say about all this nuts and bolts hoarding...LOL

Perfect! Thanx a bunch!

I bought a Ridgid set and couldn't be happier! For a home DIY guy it's perfect! Comes with a lifetime warranty on the batteries too! That's what sold me on them! Got the impact driver and built my 10x14 cedar deck with 3" screws all on one battery! That's aprox. 650 screws....I think...I didn't...

I'm building a 16x24 detached garage and want to cover my bases...in the future I'd like to be able go have: Lift-2 post not sure which one yet Compressor 60 gal 5+- hp Welder, stick and mig lots of plugs and lots of lights Will a 100 amp panel/ service be enough, I know I won't be using them...

A piece of angle iron and a scribe will give you a center mark, then center punch it and drill...

I use a bandsaw for that, the wood blade cuts it like butter! Works on thin aluminum too!...well up to 1/8 inch anyway...lol

I think I saw a bench in Jack's that he has on a pulley system...don't see why that wouldn't work for storage too! I was thinking of stealing the idea for myself!

I did a search and came up empty...I'm looking into using a rollup type door and want to know the pros and cons...I know it frees up the overhead by about 13 feet but what are your thots? Thanx again!

I did this too. Got it at the dollar store for a buck a roll...bot 10! Lol

Voted!...x5! I've got a few acounts...lol

This is going to sound strange but....I knew a guy who used a motion sensor to turn on a stereo he had set to play various sounds like someone running, the cocking of a shotgun, and crashing like someone tripped over some stuff running out to the shop...sounded really funny when you knew what it...

I have seen guys cut up a rim and weld it to a chunk of 2x2 square tubing and weld the bottom to a piece of plate then just bolt them to the car or truck or... I've also seen them welded to those wheel dollies so it can be moved around the shop too. Another of my $0.02...running low these...

X2, but I haven't even started construction yet...maybe over thinking? But I don't really want tile...

They look really good!

If you want something really old school, I've got an old cement laundry sink that I Thot about using, it spent the first 45 years of it's life having the washing machine empty into it and shows no signs of wear on the inside...but it started to leak after I removed it to do a basement reno...I...

Yes I kinda understand what you are saying...that bottom truss looks perfect for what I want! Thank you sooo much! That's rad! Yes I said rad! And no they don't seem to have any standards for insulation for a detached garage, but I want to insulate it.
