Now I don't have to do this, but its an epiphany that came to me this weekend. I think the porch is 1/8"-1/4" per foot (I'll check it tomorrow night), so somewhere between 1"-2" of fall. The porch slab is 4" thick, but the perimeter footer is overkill, 22x22 same as the shop. (psst, skip the...

The pole out front has a single phase 15kva transformer on it feeding the neighbor across the street overhead (no idea how many amp service he has, I think he had natural gas) as well as feeding my 200a panel underground, direct buried. His home is older built in 1983, probably 125a. My big...

... steel erection starts second week of June. I also want to use a self leveling filler in the control joints, which I assume is put on/in after the sealer cure. Not sure what product to use for that. My son works at Northern Tool which carries the L3000 for $399.99/5 gal and he gets a 20%...

... the panel will be in one of the corners. I had intended on bringing them above floor in the concrete right next to the corner columns so I could bond them to the building. I could also weld the column bolts that are held by plywood templates for the pour to the foundation steel. I assume...

I had to dig out some rock for my shop foundation, I have sand, some sandstone. No clay. Engineer said I need some separation between the rock and foundation. Concrete guy wants it backfilled and compacted to dig. I'm trying to keep costs down with my own labor.

I had intended on going 40x60 but I couldn't fit it in the backyard with the shed that currently sits behind it along with the slope of digging into the hill. After the shop is built and the shed emptied, if need be, I could cut and put a retaining wall in and maybe go back 20' but the retaining...

I've been told you can put it down before you lay your rebar on the sand. But one guy told me it will crack (yes, I know all concrete cracks). He said to put it down then sand on top, then rebar. As the concrete cures, the moisture has a place to go top and bottom. After it cures, it can work...

....and maybe there are. I'm not looking at a framed out building, or concrete block, or ICF's or any other specialty type construction. I'm looking at a 14'-16' interior height for the possibility of putting in a 12x14 door so a 18 wheeler/toter/RV/5th wheel would fit. I don't know I'll have...

This is a sign I did for our church about 13 years ago, the LED's I was able to find were more for channel letters but not really rated for outdoors. They're failing and I'm looking online for replacements and just figured I'd ask here too.

So I know there are advantages and disadvantages to both. But I was thinking costs of running it in a cutting scenario. I don't see myself cutting anything thicker than 1/4", but mostly sheetmetal on cars and frames. I'm not on a farm, I don't recall needing to heat something up to remove it...

So I think I'll be able to go forward with the 40x60 build this year. I'm only on 1.5 acres and have roads on 3 sides so there are easements involved, to further complicate things, my house is pretty much built in the center of the remaining lot. I'm in the county so I don't have building...

I've seen couple older threads, technology changes quickly. About half were guys wanting to see in a wall, i want it for engines or under dash. I don't require 11' of lead. I'd like to go in sparkplug and maybe injector holes.

The manual I found online says 90 amps, 18v @ 20% duty cycle. Its a 110v machine with a range of 30-130 amps. Input Amperes at rated output is 20 amps KVA/KW used at rated output is 3kVA/2.7kW Max open circuit Voltage is 30 volts DC A friend wants me to weld a hinge on a gate that power is...

...keep in mind, I'm in central Oklahoma, everyone doesn't have a lathe and a mill in their garage like they do back North East and in the Mid West. I traded a '89‐'90 aluminum headed BBC (snowflake heads) and a Muncie M20, they had been in a '72 Vette, I got it in a trade as well. The BBC had...

My buddy has a Delta planer and the wheel that raises and lowers the cutter has a speed handle on it. The internal shaft broke inside the handle at the snap ring and I'm trying to get it out unsuccessfully. I can push it down past the internal seat but I can't get it pulled out past it. I...

100'x30'x5' of tree laiden ground to clear for a new shop. Moving dirt to other side of property (1.5 acres, 310'x212') Thinking of buying and selling after I'm done. Skidsteer? Backhoe? Tractor with frontend loader and boxblade?

I'm planning a 40x60x12 red iron (bolt-up) shop and I'm looking for layout ideas. But first I guess you need to know the limitations of the site. I live on 1.5 acres in a rural area, no permits required. The are roads on 3 side of my lot (entrance to our neighborhood, we all have 1.5+ acres...

My 5 tool set I got last year at this time includes the 6.5" circ saw DCS391, the DCF885 1/4" impact driver, the DCD780 1/2" drill, the recip saw (not in front of me at the moment), flashlight and two 2ah batteries, charger and bag. I've added a DCG 412 4.5" angle grinder and a pair of 6ah...

from today until sunday. Just saw the video on The Den of Tools YouTube channel. I also know if you apply for their new credit card, you get 10% off your first purchase, no exclusions so you could get 25%-30% off one item. I've got a 44" bottom box and I've been waiting for a deal like this...
