My door was just fine. No dents or dings. Installed well and works good.

I used to test water tanks with air for leaks in a factory. When a tank with 120 psi of air failed it was a VIOLENT situation. Even in a thick steel enclosure it sometimes blew out the lights overhead from the shock. Had your ears ringing for hours even though you had ear plugs in. The whole...

Very, Very nice! And built by his father. Very classy!

Very nice! And just in time! I'm building a reloading bench and was looking at installing recessed tracks for a removable press. I may just go with treaded inserts now. Thanks for posting!

As was stated above, the base is VERY important no matter the product you use. I love concrete. That being said, here are some ideas for both: With concrete inquire about the fiber reinforcement in the mix. Maybe rebar at the corners or other stress points. Cost difference between 3.5" and...

Just the one load or more? If multiple loads make sure the company supplying the loads knows they must supply the exact same quantity in each load otherwise the color will differ between loads. Even when ordered in same quantities, once in a great while the load is batched at the plant a bit...

Call the company you intend to order from and ask these questions. If they are customer oriented they can give you guidance on the amount and mix. You can then ask them if the "******* driver" will need to place his full load on site, or if they can return the unused portion to be recycled. No...

Many companies around here use ground shingles in blacktop to reduce the amount of AC ( asphaltic cement ) oil needed in the mix. There seems to be a market for it. Ground shingles used as a road covering by themselves would not work well. Too fine, no base or structure to hold up to any kind...

The concrete apron could be a problem. Lots of variables there. How thick is the concrete? What strength mix? What kind of base? Reinforced? You can put down timbers or a deep layer of gravel to spread the weight out of the truck going over it. Make sure all the lift axles the truck has are...

I used to drive a front discharge redi-mix truck. Yes it will work given the dimensions you provided. Not to maneuver much, but to drive straight in and operate chutes. 16' is plenty for an 8' wide truck to drive in, and the chutes should be able to go 90 degrees to the left. For the elevation...

If you want stainless but want to avoid the nuts seizing on the bolts, use standard steel nuts. The nut will rust to the bolt, but breaking it free is so much easier than two steel fasteners rusting together. And since the stainless bolt threads won't be rusted you will be turning the nut off...
