I'm creating an additional step for my tractor. It currently has two steps and I want to make a third step closer to the ground. I've bought an linear actuator that will lower and raise the step. I didn't want a lot of play in the step so instead of going the square tubing route, I went with PTO...

Just want to put my feelers out for what you guys think is a good heat source for a 10x20 enclosed work area. I already have a 1 ton mini split for my man cave. It is the same size. I am now enclosing the area next to my man cave. I thought about putting two fans in the wall that they will share...

Wondering if anyone has a good idea for making a workbench from working from a chair. I already have a workbench for standing and now thinking to make another for more tedious work from a chair. The only reason for the question is that making the bench from say a 2x6 for sturdiness makes it hard...

Been hunting for some outside flood lights. Right now I have a 500w halogen shining outside my roll up door. The bulb has burned out twice and I'm tired of climbing up and changing it. I've been looking on amazon for some 120v LED flood lights but don't see any really to my liking. What I...

Ok guys in hot humid climates. Slab is poured and the building will be installed this coming week if the weather holds up here in S.E. Texas. I have a 40x60x12 building being built. My builder quoted me $1750 to insulate the roof only. It is about 1" "thin" insulation with a radiant barrier...

Will pour my 40x50 shop slab Tuesday. The builder told me to place 2x2's around the edge of my forms so the tin will have a place to sit. Then anywhere I have a door (I'm installing roll up doors) just leave the 2x2's off. My concrete guy suggested that he make a slope, say from about 8 to 10...

Had several loads of 60/40 brought in. I've got my foundation as level as I can get with my box blade. Just went and bought my rebar and form boards and I'm ready to get to work. I've seen lots of posts referring to laser levels. I'm trying to determine a price range I should be looking at...

Still very new to the concrete slab/construction world. Thanks for answering all my other questions in my last post. I now have one more question before buying supplies for my slab. I've ordered and spread out 5 loads of dirt for my slab. It's nice and smooth and ready to be formed. I'm...

How to form slab with attached porch? One pour or two? Quick question for the concrete gurus. I'm going to form up my slab and do everything I can to save some cash so I can spend a little more on my shop. I'm going to have a 40x50 shop and I'm going to have a 12ft porch that runs along one...

Forming up the slab for a 40x50x12 shop. It will be made of 4" square tubing (red iron). I'll eventually start a build thread but needed to ask a few questions and get some ideas first. 1. On my north 40ft wall, I'll have a 12x12 door. Should be plenty big for anything I can think of...
