I have a ~20cf Sub Zero that is about 20yrs old. Does not seem to care about the weather and keeps the beers and soda cool.

That looks to be a standard sized tub - I have trouble believing that HD is the only game in town to get another tub. Maybe it is just the old speed-price-quality thing. If I was doing a bathroom in my house I probably wouldn't be waiting, I would be paying someone else that has stock on hand.

What is your time worth? I get the frustration and you should be able to find what you are looking for at some point but honestly if you have spent more than a 2-3 hours on this are you really going to come out ahead? You still are going to need to buy the 10mm hose and as an off the street...

There is no reason for the whole thing to be one piece. 3-4 identical slender units with 5-6 shelves that are at most 12" Something like this - size pieces as appropriate to what you put on them, bolt it to the wall and take most of the bending load out of the vertical part.

There is a mailbox stand for about 10 boxes not far from me. Posts look to be about 8" wide Flange Beams topped with about a 12" Channel and 1/4" Plate ends to support a wood framed roof. The parts that went into the ground were really small looking - Guessing 2x2 Angle Iron. Looks like a brick...

Looks like the old Detroit Diesel green. Personally - not a fan but pick whatever and run with it and make sure you can get matching color in a spray can for touch ups.

A load of concrete is about $1500. The steel it would take for me to be comfortable under it would cost as much or more. It also probably requires more ground prep.

50' span will take one hell of a beam if you want to not have posts. Depending on the size of the mezz your floor is going to eat up a minimum of 12" of thickness so you will be getting tight on headroom. To avoid posts on the ground level I would plan for the mezz to hang from the roof. I...

How big of a part? If you need to get to center of space (8') with 1000# it is a very different thing than a 50# part that can be a few feet off the wall. We had an overhead bar that we could hang from tracks for loose parts in one of the Spoven booths I worked with. Kinda a PITA to put up but...

There is a lot to a proper bolted joint. If you haven't actually had to develop one to live thorough a products life it can be brushed off as being nerdy

Actually those are the perfect situations to learn proper execution, because starting out it isn't going to go to plan but the plan shouldn't have first step being spray foam on a car project.

There is no fixing- just a mess to clean up and throw away. My dad (who owned body shop) was using a glazing putty from a 8-10oz squeeze tube and didn't realize it needed to be mixed like normal filler. His guys did not let him live that one down for a while. Granted it was a newer product and...

I inherited my Grandpa's OA setup. I use it periodically - mostly for heating things, usually to remove galvanizing in specific spots on parts I have dipped. I think in the decade I have had it I might have swapped bottles once. My technique could use some work but even guys that are good with...

Our standard at work is minimum of 2. Not getting you anything for strength but it sure does make it a lot easier to get things started when the bolts are going to draw things together.

I had a boss tell me "an engineer is someone that can do with a dime that any damn fool can do with a dollar" In this case you can pay the engineer the other $0.90 or go with the typical GJ "when in doubt make it stout" CONEX loading is based around stacking those things from the bottom of a...

If it is going to be on skids - I wouldn't bother but I also don't get what is going on with the perimeter timbers in the pic. Just have the pads level that the skid will sit on. Flat or sloped underneath won't be a concern for the spiders and other critters that end up under there. My...

Looking at that satellite view - check on setbacks before you spend any more time on how you do this. You might be at a dead-end before you even start.

Wait... a residential drywaller that spoke English!?!?!? When was this 1985?

I don't like decks. Stone and concrete are the right answers for anything close to grade. That said - I have a small deck area remaining that was built with one of the first wood/composite deck boards - they were falling apart at about 10yrs. That was 20yrs ago. I cut off most of this deck when...
