Ok I have researched this to death. I know a lot about these lifts at this point. I want a 4 post lift for storage and to do oil changes, and light/easy work on vehicles. Just homeowner stuff. I have a tundra, so I need a lift that goes higher than normal. So it would need to have about 84”+ of...

Hey guys. Metal pole building is done and I did white metal for the interior walls. The guy who did it said that sometimes the concrete floors aren’t 100% level everywhere in the shop, so he always orders the metal an inch or so short, all the way around. Just so there wouldn’t be any pieces...

So currently I have a 40x60 w/12' ceilings inside. Its about 3yrs old. Picture attached. Ive gotten to the point where we'd like to get an RV and it will not fit through the 10x10 garage doors on the current building OR fit comfortably in there with 12' ceilings. So we are going to build onto...

I've got a pole barn built 3yrs ago. Realizing now, I'd like a full size RV and I'd like to park it inside the building. How difficult/problematic would it be to make one of the doors 14'X14' ? Picture below just shows how it looks behind the siding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

what do these cost roughly?

Hey guys. Finishing the interior of my 40x60 and we are doing electricity this week. Since im a powder coater, I was wondering if anyone else out there has considered powder coating or painting their metal conduit inside their building or their metal electrical boxes? Pictures if so? I just...

So im finishing my 40x60 currently. Just put up ceiling. The ceiling is metal (like the outside of garage siding). Bright white. The walls I have not ordered yet, but the plan was to put the same bright white metal on the walls too. I think it looks good and clean. So I bought a bunch of these...

Hey guys. Here's some photos of the inside of my 40x60. Electrical is to the building via underground from house. I ran beefy aluminum cable that is rated at 200 amps at the building :) Decided against spray foam and went with traditional framing, 24" apart. R19 by far was the best deal...

so i have a 40x60 traditional metal pole barn. i decided to put 2" rigid foam board under the concrete and on the sides. as you can see in the pics, theres a gap between the pink board and the metal walls. thats the area where mice come in. they burrow under the siding and pop up under there...

Here's pics So my plan is to stud it out. 24" on center horizontally. Then get R21 batts and put them up. But the fiberglass will be literally touching/pressed against the metal. And im wondering if before the batts go there, If i should install some sort of barrier paper, or some thin...

Hey guys, read everything there is to know about insulation. Im thinking that closed cell spray foam is the way to go. I want it done right & efficiently, not trying to pinch pennies. My building is brand new and I want to use it regularly. Im in MD so it gets cold for multiple months out of...

So I built a nice 40x60 pole building last year. Real excited. Now I find 2 groundhog holes that go under the building. Any advice? It has a concrete floor but it's a pole building so it wasn't built with a block foundation. So I'm assuming the tunnels could go everywhere underneath. Sent...

hey guys, I have a shop that im leasing. So I didn't want to invest a ton of money into it. the area that I want to make look good, is 1100sq ft. Very square and open. The floor currently is concrete and is several decades old. The building is from late 60s and may be the original floor. Over...

Hey guys. Got a new shop for our powder coating business. It's nice and roomy. Has a room in the back corner. Needed a wall put up to completely close it in, and needs door replaced. I already did the wall and door will be tomorrow. My question is, I'd like to put the air compressor in here...

Getting closed cell spray foam done in 40x60 pole barn. Doing 2in on walls and 3in up top. But for the longest time I was under the impression that you spray the ROOF and seal up the ridge vent and soffet completely. But this spray foam guy I talked to today said you can do that OR you can put...

Ok, so we've beat to death plus & minuses of spray foam and fiberglass as well. At this point Ive decided against spray foam for the whole 40x60 building because its just too expensive. So I think we're going traditional blown up in ceiling. But the walls may be a different story Spray foam...

Hey guys these are a few pics of the inside of my 40x60. Probably standard looking. Anyways, I'm gonna go with batt insulation in walls and blown cellulose on ceiling. To install the batts and be able to prepare walls to accept the metal wall liner, what needs to be done? The builder wants $17k...

Ok. Have a 2 car garage attached to the house. Cleaning it out and want to finish it with drywall and painted floor. As you can see, the left side and ceiling is drywalled already. But the back wall and right wall are not. And the entry doorway too. I have a drywall guy. But what/how should...

almost pulling the trigger on the closed cell spray foam. 40x60x12 building. Multiple companies are proposing to do the walls in either 1.5" or 2" and the back of the roof deck at 3". $10,000 for everything. Seems crazy and outrageous price-wise. But here's an interesting question. I've heard...

Anyone just use a normal house-style hvac system for their stand alone garage/polebarn? dont have to fool with waste oil, propane, bla bla bla and you have AC too! opinions? 40x60x12 with a flat ceiling (at 12ft) ...
