I'm glad it's not just me. I have been looking at building doors the palletized racking for a while. I was thinking of a shower curtain rail for a couple of tarps.

I actually built a mezzanine with storage on either side of a staircase. One of the sides is slated to be an office of sorts. I do like the idea of hiding the stuff. I create a lot of dust.

Good stuff guys. Keep it coming.

That shop makes my pee pee feel funny.....

I don't post here very often. I do lurk alot and I am envious of you guys and your abilities. Here's my dilemma. I have a 40x50 shop that I build hot rods out of. I have my dad and nephew also cohabitating right now. We are nearing the end of a projectand the shop needs a good purging. I am...

I am looking at doing this very same thing. On option 1 I see a couple of things. 1. The stairs on the outside of the frontage is sort of distracting. I would hide the stairs inside and use the bottom of the stairs for storage. 2. I have 38' of the 50' of my building is doors. I thought I...

Yep. We are trying to think about this for a while to make sure we don't make a mistake. Very NIce! No such thing. It's all an odds games. It's a gamble every spring. Just being aware is a good start. Underground is the best option. I live in the land of the F5. We have pondered that as well.

Old thread, back from the dead. we have been pursuing this heavily the last couple months. Still haven't found that perfect piece of property. We have found our concrete finisher and building manufacturer.

I plan on putting doors on the short side which would break it up a bit. The house portion will be in the front, with a walk out upper deck/porch.

I have been researching a "retirement" shop/home, Barndominium, whatever you want to call it. The problem is, I want something that makes me happy to come home to. The wife has graciously listened to the "Big Barn Theory" for the past 30 years. I figure if she is willing to concede, I should...

I am the king of making things to scale on drafting paper! My wife calls it playing with paper dolls, but it helps.

How many projects? That's kinda funny. I have about 4 right now, but it surges sometimes to 6. Trying to scale that back. I have a 40x50 now. 15x25 of one end is a paint booth, the remaining 15 feet is my welding shop. Above that is my mezzanine (sp?). It has an office and storage. The...

I am pondering one more move before we retire. I have about 9 years left and there are some things happening in my hood that I don't approve of, so we are pondering a move. With that said, I would be leaving a 40x50x12 shop with 3 doors along the non gabled side. Actually, 38 of the 50 foot...

Throw some wheels on one of those and you have a portable scaffolding setup. I use mine all the time.

I believe I am falling into this same pitfall. I just spent the last week with my buddy who is a master cabinet maker, building my inlaws a free standing cabinet. I have a whole new list of tools and a need for a shop addition.

Honestly, I don't know what the specs are on the lights. One is about 20' off the ground and I really get nervous on the top of my extension ladder, so I will have to wait to see what the amperage etc is. The other one is just a wall mount , dusk to dawn exterior light. It's been acting up...

I looked throught the archives but didn't see anything on this. I need to get my sodium light off the pole. It keeps my electric bill rolling. I was thinking of trying out some of the LED flood lights, dusk til dawn. Anyone tried these? Something like this maybe...

We are in the designing phase of our garage/apt. We are looking into something like 50'x100'x16' steel building, while converting one end into an apt.(approx 1000 sf) until we can build our house. The problem is that this thing will look massive and like a giant box. We were thinking of adding...

Maybe "latex" is a broad term. Indoor, semi-gloss residential type paint. The project? interior walls. http://theadventuresofavalair.blogspot.com/
