Can I possibly rent a floor buffer to do a deep cleaning of my epoxy (well urethane top coat) floor? Not sure if there is a pad available suitable for this or if anything I used would be too abrasive. Thanks :thumbup:

I have a spray foamed pole barn and the ridge cap is "sealed" to the roof with what appears to be molded foam strips that fit the contour of the roof panels. I've noticed ants have burrowed through this foam and are entering the building through this area under the ridge cap. I just put a...

Does anyone have any input on adding insulation to exterior ducting? The ducts are internally insulated, looks like about 1/2# thick material. Would it help significantly to spray foam the exterior of the ducts, or some other type? Thanks!

Anyone familiar with this setup? Would have been helpful to find before I ground my floor-

I thought I would put up some pics as I was able to finish my floor today. After looking at a ton of pics I decided on a pure white floor with no chips. Materials are from Legacy and consist of- 6 gallons off white standard primer 9 gallons super hide white HD epoxy 6 gallons super hide...

Sooo, I've got about 1700sq/ft of concrete I need to prep for a white Legacy floor. So far I did the entire perimeter with a Diamabrush and hand grinder which worked great. Also filled saw cuts with gel epoxy. Today I rented a Diamabrush and floor polisher from Home Depot. Pictured on the...

Thought some may find this interesting. This is from my 36x47 pole building. We've had a ton of rain and there's no vapor barrier under the slab. Lots of humidity it seems. Need to get a/c in there to fix that. Temps are good however. Closed cell, 2" on the walls, about 3.5" on the ceiling.

I bolted down my 2 post lift the other day, it's final location has the top of the posts about 5 inches away from the truss. (closer than in the attached pic) Made me think I could brace the trusses together and then attach the brace to the top of the lift posts for added support. I know this...

My girlfriend is having a 16x28 outbuilding put up, stick built, spray foam insulated. She wants to have a dual zone Mitsubishi Mr Slim installed. Seems this unit sells online for around $2700 with a line set. Estimates are coming in between 5500-8500 for the unit and install. Electrical...

I'm going to do white dura liner panels for the interior with the panels sitting directly on the floor, no baseboard. Am I correct in thinking it would be best to do the floor first then install the wall metal rather than trying to cut the paint in? Or, grind floor, install metal walls, mask...

I'm planning on a gloss white floor. 36x47 slab is saw cut into 16 sections. I thought it might look neat to do black saw cuts for contrast. Think it might look good or just stick with all white?

For those with spray foamed pole buildings, would you mind sharing a pic of the inside of your roof? Local company is doing 3" of closed cell under the roof of mine and says it will not be an issue to just fill the area between the perlins. This will make it easier to install steel interior...

I'm leaning towards polishing the floors in my shop. 1700 sq/ft. First, is it an issue that the concrete is fiberglass reinforced? Second, can this be done with a dual head edco? That's what I can rent locally. Thanks!:)

I have a 47x36 Wick pole building. Trusses are 8ft oc with 2x8 top and bottom chords and 2x4 webs. I contacted Wick about building a deck between the lower chords for light storage and was told the wood of the trusses is strong enough but the nail plates are the first thing to fail. They said...

Since I'm going to be tackling this project next weekend I thought I would seek the input of others here. I have a 36x47 pole barn. The lower chord of the current trusses is 8ft from the floor. This wasn't going to allow me to have a 2 post lift in the center of the building so I had...

Trying to figure out heating/ac for my 36x47 pole barn. Plan is to do the building with closed cell spray foam. I keep reading that the mini split heat pump is not sufficient at lower temps. What are you guys using for backup heat? Would it make sense to have a hanging gas heater as well?

I have a 36x47 Wick pole building and would like a bit of overhead storage from the front wall to the 2nd truss out. What I would like to do is add 2 36ft long 1.75thick 14in height LVL beams next to the existing lower chords and frame it in and cover it with plywood. I'm just looking for a...

36x47 workshop I finally ran out of space in my previous 3 car garage and got a new place with 3 garages. A 2 car, 4 car and the topic of this thread, 36x47. It's a Wick pole building and I'm going to be preparing it for use as my new workshop for building my 57 Eldorado Brougham. Good part...

Just had a local company come out and quote my 36x47 pole building. (8ft walls). He calculated total sq/ft at 3,275 for walls and roof but then doubled the sq footage on the estimate because it's 2 inches instead of 1 (was his explanation). So it's written at 6550 sq/ft at $1.30 a sq/ft...

I've been attempting some research on mini-splits and what I keep finding is the heating capabilities may not be sufficient for what I need. A friend says he can install a wall mount unit that is A/C and gas heat. Still waiting to hear brand/model but haven't been able to find what this might...
