    $11k for trusses?!?!?! Time for rafters...to save 8k??$

    Nope, just double my quote and it comes to $6200 - Far cry from $11k. Also, where did he say he was upgrading to scissor trusses? I didn't see that. Even if he did, it still doesn't cost that much more per truss. I looked into that as well. You say that you have time. There's got to be a...

    $11k for trusses?!?!?! Time for rafters...to save 8k??$

    I'd find a different supplier. Alaska is known to be crazy expensive. When I built my 40x40, the trusses (clear span) came to $3100 delivered. These also had 2' eaves on each side.

    Anyone name this lift?

    I called on it this morning and he says there isn't any info/stickers on this lift. So I was wondering if anyone here would be able to identify it by the shape of the arms or posts or well...anything. Seems like a decent buy, just don't know what brand...

    Shop shower ideas needed...

    This is what I've got planned. Toilet, urinal and shower in one wet room with a long hose/shower head. That way I can clean anything year round. The walls are planed to just use frp over sheetrock.

    What mistakes have you made in your build?

    I wish I would have put in trench drains in the 3 bays instead of the 3" round ones. I wish I would have had enough money to hire the whole thing out and have someone to blame the little mistakes on and it wouldn't have taken 2 years to build.

    Ammco Lift

    Found this morning https://anchorage.craigslist.org/tls/d/ammco-vehicle-hoist/6401972307.html and was wanting info on it. My google-fu doesn't seem to be working. I'm trying to find out all the specs on it, concrete depth needed and such before I go look at it. Does anyone know anything about...

    ZMotorsports Shop Projects 2.0

    Mike - that was an awesome post. And as you have stated that your mentor was quite modest, as I have read a lot of your responses and details about things you have accomplished, I find that he also passed that quality upon you too. Great "short" back story. Thanks for sharing - and have a...

    Insulate or Not?

    Yes. That $100 you fork out for insulation will pay for itself in no time.

    Home heater fresh air intake

    Does it have a intake at the top of the heater? I'd find it odd if installed by a quality installer that it would be left off.

    90°F one winter day; 35°F four hours later. What is the best heater?

    In your situation - I'd just go with a forced air unit. Cheap and readily available. Are you saying that the lid is 24'? If so, a ceiling fan will be needed to bring that heat back down.

    Hydronic heat is running!

    I just got done with your video's, looks good. Speaking from experience - if your budget is depleted now - trying to keep that shop at 40 over the winter is going to break your bank (although we don't know where you are at). Better hurry and get that lid insulated. Also, you may want to only...
