I am fixing up a big building I have. It will be a shop and then I plan to put roughly a 22' x 24' x 10' party/Bar room inside of it. Since it will kind of be inside my shop, it will only have one outside facing wall. Can I effectively heat and cool a room this size with a mini split or...

I am in the process of gathering stuff to fix up my shop. I have a 54x100 building....im going to put a wall down the middle and finish out roughly 54x60ish. I plan to do flash/batt for insulation with wood on the bottom 6 or 8 feet and then white metal siding on the remainder of the...

I have 100x54 building but have been slowly gathering stuff to fix up part of it. I am going to kick it into high gear this spring. I was considering looking for lights on Black Friday maybe. My fixed up let will be roughly 60’x54’x18’. I am going to have a fixed up room inside of the shop...

I posted the other day but things have changed. We live in a 2 story house with hot water base board heat. We have a well-Maclean boiler and then there are two relays controlling the valves for upstairs/downstairs. There are separate thermostats on both floors. They both have old analog...

We do not have central air in our house. It is heated with hot water base board heat from a boiler. We have a traditional old fashioned honeywell thermostat currently n I am trying to wire up a Honeywell RTH9585WF thermostat. We have two wires going to our thermostat currently. Red and...

I found a delta 17-950 drill press for sale some what local. It looks to be in good shape. Are these decent just for a home shop and what would a fair price be?

We have an old farm house that has a detached garage. The down spout tile for the garage dumps into the same tile as the septic. As a result we get sewer gas that comes up this tile and is making the down spout rust heavily. The area behind the garage sits low and i got two loads of top soil...

I have a 54x100 shop. Eventually it will have a wall down the middle and half will be heated, fixed up, etc. probably not going to happen this fall like I had hoped. When we bought the place it had a old fashioned outdoor hydrant in the corner with a drain right there. I got a utility...

Home depot has champion generators on sale. A few seem like really good deals. I just ordered this for my camper. Hoping it is big enough...

I am debating between 4000 and 5000 temperature high bay lights. I am leaning towards 4000. It seems like 5000 is much more common. The inside of my shop will be primarily white. Am i over thinking this or what everyones thoughts?

I am looking at buy 15ish 2ft linear high bay lights for my shop. Whats everyone thoughts on buying cheaper lights off the internet vs buying a more reputable brand? It would probably be 1/2 or maybe even 1/3 as much for similarly rated lights.

I have two big overhead doors. They appear to have an allstar brand motor with what seems like the typical control buttons....black rectangular box with an open, close, and stop button. The previous owner had a door bell button wired into the control to strictly open the door. I am...

I have a large building. I am soon going to start fixing up half for a shop. The other half will just be storage. It may only have the lights on an hour or two per week. The filings are 18ft and is currently just lit with 100 watt bulbs. I have a lot of them burnt out and got to do...

I bought an oxygen / acetylene setup 4ish years ago from a sale. They have the local place that sells/fills cylinders stamped on the neck. I have two tanks from this same place for my welder that are leased for 30 years. I think I inquired about them when I bought them and don’t remember what...

We purchased a new shop that happened to come with a house. Will be moving in a few weeks. It has a 54x100 shop with a 16’ porch on the front. It has concrete floors, water, drains, etc but is just studs. My plan is to put a wall somewhere near the middle and then fix up half. I also want to...

I have been looking at metal band saws for a while. I've kept an eye out on craigslist, facebook, etc but haven't saw anything. Recently harbor freight changed theirs and i think also raised the prices but still much cheaper than other brands for what look like the exact same thing. Anyone...

I purchased a 10"sliding Dewalt saw. What's everyone's pick on stands? Dad has a Dewalt stand that I like but his saw does not slide so I'm not sure how it would work with mine.

Are people paying more for craftsman USA tools? I'm considering selling some of mine and buying SK. The quality of the new craftsman tools is garbage

Has anyone ever built any kind of attachment to wash under their vehicle? I've thought about building one out of black pipe and putting some small caster wheels on it or making something that you could just drive over. Or is there one that's not terribly expensive and makes more sense to just...

I came across some simplex jacks. The models are a5 and a17. They are in good condition. What are these worth? I bought them cheap enough that I think I can resell for a profit.
