So the wife wants to raise ducks:dunno: and I need a place to get the lawn and garden supplies out of the barn. As you know if you've read my thread, the late Fil left enough lumber to build a 14'x 26' shed/room. I'm using sketchup to see where the new building will look the best. I started...

Hey Ladies and Gents, I need some suggestions. I've got some longer lengths of steel (4'-12') and lumber (12'-16') that I want to store. I don't need to get at the lumber very often, but I want easy access to the steel. The standard lengths(4'-10') of lumber are in the rafters. I have some...

I got this furnace for free through my dad from someone who was giving it away. I'm going to hoist up and fasten it to the undeer side of the rafters. My question is where should I put it? The barn is 30'x40' and the pic shows the 40' (west) side The tank will have to go on the south (right)...

I debated whether to post or not, because I don't want to seem proud, but I really enjoy certain threads and thought that some one might feel the same about what the wife and I are going through. She is the mother of 4 girls (all still at home), was divorced about 10 years, and worked the...

Help!!!!!! The late father in-law had large piles of lumber (OSB, 2x6, T-111) left outside under tarps. The boards are covered in white mold and have some partial dry rot. I've scrubbed the junk off the boards and stacked them in the barn so that they can dry out. I'm thinking of spraying...

I want to do a little bit of sheetmetal work and I'm thinking I'll need to use an English wheel. I doubt I'd use one more than once a year. Is there a cheap way around buying one? How hard is it to build one? Or does anyone in the area have one that I could drop by and use? Suggestions.

Just curious, is there a reasonable CAD package that's available for hobby/home use? If so, what kind of specs should the computer have to run it?

Hey guys, help me clean out the barn. I was given this cherry picker and I was told it didn't work. I cleaned up the shaft and then used it to put the motor in my tractor. The motor hung on the chain over night and didn't drop at all, period. It does have a faded "Made in the USA" sticker on...

I have a 100,000 btu toro torpedo heater that won't fire. It has spark and spits kerosene out of the end of the thing about 4-6 feet. I'm trying to find the ait filters for it. Where can you get them. I'd rather pick them up locally. I work in Warren, Mi and live north of Lansing, Mi. Will...

I was given a second engine hoist. I was told the cylinder needs to be rebuilt. I don't know the brand, but it has a faded "Made in the USA" sticker on it. Come and get it before I have to cut it up for metal stock. I needed the floor space in the barn. (248)495-5429 Kirk

I've got an Actron CP9135 that was given to me. It turns on but won't link to the ECU (checked on several different cars). Any ideas if I can fix it? Or better said, any ideas what's wrong with it? Thanks for your help folks.

I need some suggestions. I got 1 gallon of Rust-Olem fllor epoxy and hardener for free. The barn is 30'x40'. One half (20'x30') is where we park the high mileage vehicles (read "leaks oil slightly"), the other half is where we do repair and fabrication. The entrance to the barn is behind the...

I'd like a little advice. I want to insulated the barn so I doesn't kill me to heat it in the winter. I live out in the boondocks and vermits are a real possibility. My old man told me not to put wood or drywall on the ceiling because of the possibility of ***** or possums getting into what...

Hi Folks, Newb from the Lansing, Mi. Finally have a 30'x40' barn of my own. Actually it belongs to the fiancee, but I've cleaned it out and I'm in the process of setting it up. Trying to pack 60lbs of toys into a 10lb box and still have room to work.
