I posted earlier this year with questions about installing an awning over my service door. Particularly a gable style. Well, after a little planning, a buddy and I tackled this over the weekend. New 6 lite door from Menards. We started by framing out the sructure, 4x4 treated posts, 2x6...

Hey guys- I'm in the planning stage for material list needed to install my new service door I bought from Menards. It's left hand in swing with a composite door frame. Mine has rotted out after 6 years. I'm mainly looking for a list of flashing needed to do this install correctly because I'm...

Im seriously considering using these lights for my lean-to addition of my shop. The space is 16' x30'. I've read the reviews off Amazon but wanted to know if my fellow GJ pals have used them personally and what do you think before my I buy these. Any input is appreciated.:)

Hey guys, had a new floor poured in November 2018 in my lean-to addition on my pole barn shop. Yesterday I dropped a ginormous brake drum and a nickel size chip popped out of the floor!:shocking::mad:...any suggestions on how to full this in for a proper fix. This floor isn't even 3 months old ...

Can anyone here refer me to a website that I can get a thermo-coupler for an older Modine LP heater? The flame from pilot is really weak and I have to hold the gas valve FOREVER to get the thermocouple hot enough to stay lit :mad::mad::mad::mad:I have tried to clean it and its just taking...

Anyone know of a company that sells window glass inserts for garage doors? I've seen videos where people bought inserts and removed the panel and cut out the hole. Or would you recommend just buying a new panel with windows already installed? Has anyone done this to their overhead door? I plan...

Hey everyone. Has anyone here built an awning over there service door, particularly on a pole barn with metal siding. I would like to build one on mine but would want 2 support posts out front either 4x4 or 6x6 buried in the ground and also would like it to be an gable end style so to speak...

Hey everyone. I haven't posted in awhile. Probably 3 years, but I've been back lurking GJ for about past 10 months now trying to get some fresh ideas for my lean-to addition. I started off with a 24x30 pole barn about 4 years ago. Fully insulated, propane heat, 2 post Challenger lift, wired for...

Hey guys. It's been probably a few years since I last posted. Life has been busy, but can't complain. Been busy working out in the shop since I finished it out and then boom, got married to the love of my life. I was able to squeeze in a 16 x 30 lean-too addition to my existing shop just before...

Just bought a 60 gallon Puma PK6560. It was a craigslist find. Some guy had 2 of them, still had plastic on it. Its a rebranded tank with puma pump, It was built by a local air compressor company out of Kansas. My question is about the initial line out of compressor to regulator. For now, I want...

I was just wondering, im about to pull the trigger on a puma PK6560V. I have a well insulated pole barn but not full time heat. Is it ok to leave your compressor on while its winter months with freezing temps? Sometimes I wont work out there for a week. I do have heat but I only heat it when im...

Im tired of the countless hours of researching on a compressor, Im on a modest budget and a 2 stage was way out of my price range. I was sold on the PUMA 6060V. Then came across the Harbor Freight US General 5HP 2 stage, then I was thinking for 300 more why not. But realized the PUMA is a V...

Ok I have obviously overlooked this step so here it goes...my plan was to put a 60 gallon puma in the southeast corner of my barn, i ran 10/2 in that corner before i insulated. The panel is on west side wal, the wire run is approximately 35 feet. I didnt even think about voltage drop or...

Finally got around to installing my insulation for my 24x32 pole building. I learned a lot from here and incorporated a little of everything I learned off here into mine. It was aggravating and long work, took me 8 days by myself. My fiance' grandfather helped me with the ceiling. I thought it...
