Thanks. I started with a wire wheel on a hand grinder. I followed that with some WD40 and one of those green scouring pads. And finished with some fine grit steel wool. Thank you. The paint color is gloss Sage Green by Rustoleum. I painted 2 coats of primer followed by 4 coats of the green.

The motor is not original and the table was abused but the end result turned out pretty good and it will make a good drill press. Some before and after pics...

I've seen other posts where guys ask what is a good product for filling expansion joints when the boards start rotting. I saw this advertised in a local DIY magazine. Looks like a good solution. http://www.trim-a-slab.com

^^^^^^ That post hurt my brain. :yikes::yikes:

I use the blue shop towels for general purpose cleaning and hand towels. There's a guy that sells them at all of the local swap meets. 25 towels for $5

Every argument has pros and cons. This one is no different. My problem with the city permit office is they don't use common sense. I'm going through a real life example right now. I have 11 acres inside the city limit. There is nothing on my land and I want to build a pole barn. I am surrounded...

What size windows did you use?

I'm having it built. It's gonna be a 40x60 with built in apartment. Checked into Mueller but I can't afford them for a building that size.

I'm in Frisco and I'm getting close to building a pole barn. I would like to look at a couple of completed barns if there are any around this area. Holler at me if you don't mind showing yours off.

Looks good. Nice use of space.

Just when I think I've seen it all....paneling in a garage. That's a first for me. Nice solution to ladder storage.

Re: Nut & Bolt Storage Another small cabinet that I cleaned up. Missing one drawer but it will be a good cubby hole for a Plano box for small parts. BEFORE AFTER

Re: Nut & Bolt Storage

Here's mine. I bought the metal legs from Northern Tool. I have a friend who builds custom cabinets and he made the bench top.

Thanks for all of the replies fellas. I'm hopeful that the electric company will come through but if not trying to prepare for other options. I appreciate the tips and suggestions.

I'm running into a few hurdles trying to get power to my land. I have read a little bit on alternative energy like solar and wind. I'm wondering if anyone in the GJ world has powered their structure solely on solar or wind? My building would be a 40x60 shop with an 800 sq ft efficiency...

Looking for pros/cons to doing a wainscot on the outside of a pole barn. The only pro I can think of is appearance or curb appeal. Are there any cons to be aware of such as leaks at the seam?

Thanks to all for the replies, comments, and suggestions. Thanks to Paulrey27 for adding the extra dimensions. To answer your questions, I am married. Both kids are grown and out of the house. Son is married and expecting first child in December. This project will be a secondary...
