Tie them into the bar with weld studs and ties or to the mesh. Steel will need to be set on dobies for matching grade and allowing concrete underneath the beam.

30' is short if that is the direction you are driving in. Might be okay for a car but you mention lake house. Lakes mean boats, boats turn into bigger boats. On a trailer about as big of a boat as you will get in 30' is 22' or so. I know a lot of people don't like tandem parking but it makes a...

The centering pin on the mag drill should work great to drop on the existing holes. Drill, rinse and repeat. As noted any loss in precision here is probably less than what you will get in general fab work.

WD-40 or Signature Polish

Looking back at my utility connections a bit more than 15yrs ago.... I wish I had run a conduit that I could have pulled a hose and a few small wires (ethernet) between house and shop. I am not sure I would hard pipe the air but for me just having a connection in the house would be for filling...

Generally speaking - the stamp needs to be from the state the work will be in. Lots of engineers are licensed in multiple states. 12' is where standard tables end and need stamping. The actual construction is not going to look any different than a typical 2x6 wall with double plates and fully...

The old time Laquers and Enamels were not what I would call "good for you" but they aren't the modern 2K paints either. I have been around this stuff all my life, as has my dad, and his dad. I didn't make it my vocation like they did but knock on wood none of health problems either have had/has...

I had heard the "door company is cheaper" and I fully expected a bit of a premium for installation but quotes I got were all $1000+ more than me ordering the door direct to consumer at retail price (no wholesale deal). I had done door work before and am not afraid of any household system so...

Based on the pictures of the forms and the excavation if they had filled that to the top of the forms it probably would have met minimum spec. Not sure who posted it but I agree - they came up short on mud and cut corners instead of calling for another truck. ***** to pay for a short load but...

Don't run equipment over the drainfield - I broke a lot of pipes with what I thought was a light enough mini-ex. Enough so that I gave up after the 3rd or 4th break that I chased and had to replace all of the distribution pipes. At least the ground wasn't fouled so going back in the same place...

I think the existing house location next to the ravine is your play here. That makes it impossible to build behind the house. You also might play up how your landscaping and what is visible from the road as passing by doesn't scream garages. They might want it closer to the house at the head of...

Sheetrock, fire tape, paint black. Appears to be a commercial space, that means the fire marshal will walk through periodically. Just do it to code.

LLWillysfan has it right, demo the lid, raise it up and move on. Probably will take a few nasty letters from lawyers. It is work but it is the path to get what you wanted, giving away that 1' will bug you forever.

I don't have it because I move stuff around too often but padded place to stand is getting up there on my list as I get older. Heat so things can cure/dry during the winter. Fans to move a bit of air in the summer - usually not too hot to work here so AC isn't needed in the shop. Good light...

30' truss is easy 30' is short if you start looking at toys instead of cars in the future.

I have ridden Seeley a long time ago - when a 136" was really the only mountain track option and it was still full block and maybe 1.25" tall. It was a far cry better than the 116 or 121's with a 1/2" rib. Paddles were plastic things bolted onto the track, not molded into the rubber. Last sled I...

Geeez - Nobody said the heat has to be installed before the final inspection.;)

Don't plan to store yard **** in a shop. Get a shed for that. Cost/sf to store that **** is way too high and it will always be in the way in the shop. Simple but nice shed is what? ~$20/sf, Shop build is probably going to be running up to $50/sf+ in today's prices. If you aren't doing ICF all...

Around here you have to contain runoff of new structures to the property. Making it the local storm sewers problem probably isn't going to fly.

The building inspector from local government usually isn't going to show up without either a code violation or an open building permit. I think what you are looking for home inspector (since I think I saw in here this was residential property) but there are those that specialize in commercial...
