I removed the only window in my pole building ( metal over 2x6's flush girts no plywood) that the PO had installed with j trim, no window framing, just screwed into the 2x6's. No sealer, and on the weather side of the building. We get lots of snow and rain. I was thinking if I reinstall the...

That's nice, but not a really expensive professional set. I like the feel of hardwood handles. I don't know a thing about name brands, my Craftsman set ( set of 4 from 1/4-1") works well, but they are Excellite or similar plastic. Are there any to absolutely stay away from? Thanks for info in...

I am about a week away from FINALLY starting on the concrete floor in the shop. Approx how large of an area should be dug out 6-8"s thick for the posts on a 2 post lift? I am pouring a 24'x24' extension in the shop. I was thinking about 3' squares should be enough, but should I just make 10'...

I finished off building a 11x24' tool room, workshop inside my big shop. While building it during the winter, I used a Mr Buddy heater to keep warm, but with moisture issues I hear about I want to find a DRY kind of heat for this winter. The walls are 6" thick open cell foam, and ceiling is 8"...

I purchased a place with a 48' x 24' pole built shop in place. The back half (24x24) has a poured concrete floor. The 12' walls are tin, attached every 3' to 2x6's, horizontally. The shop was built up' about 18" with 3/4" gravel on top. It is a workshop, but will house a small tractor and jeep...

Just got the permit approved, holes dug and beams in the ground ( 2 days ago) for the extension off the front of my 48' x 24' shop. It will be a nice 24' x 24' carport to park under to keep from scraping my windshield. here's yesterdays progress putting up the trusses and sheeting.

I prefer the look and ceiling clearance of a shop roof with a large main ridge beam, and rafters, a simple A frame type design. My buddy says when I build my RV cover ( basically just a 22x40 roof as a covered area) I need to make it with trusses as it is stronger and distributes the snow load...

Too many projects, not enough time. As much as I want to do radiant floor heating in my new shop, I will be done with work forever in 3 weeks, so I only have time to build a 22x40 motorhome cover, run the electrical, and back load the pea gravel before the snow fly's. I still need to clear the...

I just purchased my forever retirement home, with an existing 24' x 48' uninsulated metal building with 12' side walls and a 4x12 pitch roof. The ceiling has 1/2" wood and 30# felt under the metal. I an in Northern Idaho, so keeping it warm is my goal. The shop floor has poured concrete 4...
