Good day, I have 12K feet under roof that needs some attention. Its mostly your basic built up roof, some has been patched in the past and one section is standard steel roofing over an addition. Quotes to get it sprayed are pretty high, $40-50K from a 3 different groups. Im looking pretty...

Looking for a couple large (8"ish) bench vises for work. Would need to be new current production. I don't need precision just brute strength and mass. Willing to pay a premium for a American iron if I can. These will be bolted to 3/4 plate bench's.

Looking to buy an old cast Greenerd C press. Its an H-60-AB. The person selling claims a 60 ton rating but everything I find in hard print says 15 ton. He and I both see others for sale that say 60 ton but they are auction sites that simply may not REALLY know either. Also I assume a press...

Looking for ideas for a bad *** wall clock. Would like in fairly good sized, lighted a plus. Could be digital or analog hands, both are cool. I have 120v waiting for it. Going in 40X60 12-14' up a wall. Thanks :beer:

Looking for better ideas. I have a 16X60 block wall that has been letting rain in for likely 30 years. It is an east facing wall that is under a set of roof diverters that dump allot water off the roof close by. This get the wall very wet and it penetrates to the inside. Ive sprayed it with...

Been buying Stronghold but they are getting (ok, have been expensive). Great cabinets, but now I see Greene Manufacturing which is in my home state of MI. Anyone have experience with them and how they compare to Stronghold?

Looking for a new retractable drop light. Plan to mount it the hoist, would like LED as I always seem to be out of rough service bulbs when you need one. Prefer one with an outlet but its not a must.

New to me shop that was totally stripped of utilities. I currently have 10-50 plugs on a few items that run on 240 but plan to add to that list. Being non-grounded is that an issue moving forward? Now is the time to change to a more common or "better" plug for general shop use as all the...

Can I securely hang joist on a CMU wall? I have an room 20x70 with 17' ceilings Id like to separate into 2 levels. I could stud wall inside and set the joist but is there an option to hang them from the wall?

I own a small retail outlet with 4 separate store fronts. I bought the place for the 10,000' of warehouse in the back as my shop. One of the units is now vacant and its time for an upgrade. Is there a reason why most commercial places use rooftop units for HVAC? There is 14' of roof space...

I have 40-60 of open was space that is dying for some cabinets for storage. I don't want shelves as this area will see dust and dirt so a closing cabinet is a better option. I LOVE the Strongholds here at work but cant swing the $2K each for them, what the next best deal going? Not looking...

Bought a building that damaged foundation blocks from poor roof drainage. The bottom few course of block above grade are pretty eroded from spalling. Water ran off eave and down the wall, then froze. What the best practice to repair the face before painting? Wall is 70's vintage and never...

To the the guys who have some iron that is not in a temperature controlled shop, how do you deal with it sweating? We are in a BAD temp swing right now and I have 3-4 machines that are taking it hard. They are inside but we went from 12 2 days ago to 49 today with heavy rain and fog. You could...

MyPOCO doesn’t want to install a 5th service as it overloads the transformer and their feeder. They would but it’s high cost. I have a work around. My building has 4 retail spaces each with a 200a service. A few years back units 1-2 took out a wall and combined. Each service comes into a common...

I plan to mount a bunch of receptacles shortly but am reaching for ideas on how to mount them. Id like the to be 3-4' above the floor but there is no building structure the allows that. Its basic steel building constructing with a wall supported at the top, bottom and a single wall girt at mid...

I have not changed batteries, this is on the list for today. I LOVE The opener but hate its range to use the remote. It is in a steel building but it seems I need to be within 15' of the door for it to operate. Id love to double that so it can be opened as I drive up, not pull up and then open.

New building was a steel tube manufacturer so there is oil everywhere. Not just a stain hear or there but the whole process area has a 30 year layer of cutting/bending oil. Is there any hope of getting epoxy to stick? I have a pretty good arsenal of cleaning equipment.

Hard to locate the original Wej its locally for my Mohawk. Are Redheads a good option, as in comparable pull out strength? Redhead doesn't list tension loads so I cannot make a apple/apple comparison.

Taking a few pics of the service entering my building I see there are 4 fuses on the pole. One for each leg that are closed and I see another that is open. Can I assume the open one is a ground that may be closed when work is expected to be done on the service (with the others opened)?

Here are 9 of the fixtures in stalled. Pulls 8.2 amps so they are right at nameplate draw. Never mind the mess its still in demo/clean-up phase. Across the shop, this is one corner of an 80x120.
