    Footing question

    A mono has a thickened edge around the whole perimeter with rebar in it. They pour the perimeter and floor all at once. Piers are like sono-tubes. In your case a 12" diameter by 36" deep hole every 5'.

    Footing question

    I'm finishing up on my 40x40x14 stick built addition. It's on a mono-slab which is what I'm guessing your second proposal was. Myself, I'd spend the extra and do the mono.

    Plastic to section off

    I did this last winter as I couldn't afford doors yet. I'd run my radiant a day before I planned on working out in the addition. It would net me a 30 degree rise no matter what the ambient temp was. I used 6 mil on the outside and 6 mil on the inside of the 3 doors.

    Electric or Gas Boiler?

    He went straight our of the wall then down his footer with 3/4"pvc at 4' deep then elbowed out 10' into a buried 55 gallon plastic barrel full of rocks. The pvc is wrapped with a heat tape all the way from the inside of the shop to the barrel. He also put the pipe foam over the pvc and tape. For...

    Shed/Cabin ceiling insulation

    Why do you have insulation in the first place? Does it really get that cold or does it get that hot so you would need to cool it? What do you use to heat/cool it? If not heating or cooling, just rip it out.

    Electric or Gas Boiler?

    This is what you need - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008ORBM3K/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It will be piped straight from the condensate drain. From this neutralizer it will need to go to a drain. If you don't have a drain, you'll be wanting one real bad. My boiler puts out about 2 1/2 gallons when the...

    How to locate underground water supply line (PVC/Poly)??

    There's got to be a way to trace it inside. Do you have any sort of crawl space? As for metal detector, I just borrow one from a friends kid. Can't be too crazy awesome unless you have a bunch of junk in your ground.

    How to locate underground water supply line (PVC/Poly)??

    Dig down at the main shut off and shut it off. Cut the pipe a few feet away from the shut off. It's just poly so you can splice it later. Go in house, find and cut the pipe going into your water heater. Get a shop vac and **** some string through from the street to the heater. Then attach a...

    Driveway gravel

    Needs to be put down on a extremely hot day with a big roller and water. If it's still raining and cool - it'll take a while for it to tighten up. How thick is it?

    Rotary SPOA10

    OK - so you really can have your cake and eat it too. Thanks for the clarification :beer:

    Rotary SPOA10

    That would be my understanding after reading lakeroadster's reply. Long base vehicle vs. short. Other than noted by lugnut, the long wheelbase will be hanging out past the posts more in a asymmetrical? Therefore the only advantage of a asymmetrical would be opening doors. Very confusing indeed.

    Rotary SPOA10

    So - does having the 3 piece arms make the SPOA10 more symmetric in a asymmetric platform?

    Building a 40x40 pole barn next month...questions

    If going with a flat ceiling - Most lifts are in the mid to upper 12' range, so this would be incorrect. This too depends on what type of lift will be used. Confusing part is the door sizes listed. When the OP says "(2) 10x12 insulated doors in front", that tells me it's 10 wide x 12 tall...

    how to install snow stops / snow breaks on metal roof pole barn.

    Illustration number 12 on the last page. Pretty simple. I only went with 2 rows and it works fine. I've had over 2 feet and it kept it there all winter and slowly melted during the spring. From ridge to edge is 24' sheets at a 5/12 pitch. http://www.magicmetalsinc.com/img/flashing-details.pdf
