    Using Shed as Paint Booth

    What I would do if concerned would be clear plastic over the top of everything- think Dexter kill room. Light goes through plastic, vapors get managed by fans (positive pressure). My personal experience has been more like 58Yeoman but I am working in a space about 10x bigger and 24x by volume...

    Installing iron railing

    1" square is going to be 1.4" on the diagonal - I would core drill at least 2" knowing that it will be a PITA to pack filling material around it at 2". Most of the reason for the large diameter is simply to make it easy to fill with non-shrinking grout or whatever the kids are calling it these...

    New 3000sqft Garage Construction - Must Haves?

    22ft is pretty shallow for the normal use bays. I would have some sort of way to partition the daily's from the working space. I park my 16' fishing boat in my shop and the shop dirt makes an absolute mess of it to the point that I had to get a cover for it while it is inside. I would be...

    Input Needed: I’m out of room

    I would be inclined to position something like this. Roof line has several options depending on if you are going as high as the existing for the addition or if this is just for grade level parking of normal sized things (no boats/RV's/Dump Trucks....). I think if you went to the north the way...

    Grinder wheel through facemask shield

    Nice BS clickbait story from tic tok - the wheel in the shield is from a chop saw and the grinder is a 4.5" or so size. I have done a lot of dumb things with cutoff wheels on grinders and die grinders short and even ones with small breaks from being dropped don't fail like that.

    Anchors in floor to jack against

    The suggestion of chaining and a porta-power to push is probably the best for what you are trying to do. I have had gates and other fabrications pull a bit while welding and that is exactly what I have done to get them back to straight. If you have a beam several times stiffer than the tongue...

    Phase converter/electrical question

    VFD is how I would move forward.

    Turning small barn to shop

    If it was mine I would be inclined to live with it. Next best DIY option would be to build box beam at the top of the interior post line. Once complete cut the posts off. Will need to make sure the footings at the end can support everything. Alternative is a commercially sourced parallel chord...

    Gutters on a Garage?

    Not on the shop - I hate heights and I hate cleaning gutters. I do have washed rock along the drip line. House - yes but it is only 1 story and easy to get on the roof to blow them out. Went without for several years but wife didn't like the waterfall for guests as they walked up to the front...

    12’ or 14’ tall rollup doors for RV?

    I would suppose it would depend on the type of vehicle you want to lift but I don't think there are any "normal" vehicles that are going to go over ~12'. That would allow for bottom of frame to top of vehicle roof to be 6' and 6' headroom under the frame. I am 6'4" and a little bit of a hunch...
