I have a morton building with rafters spaced at 21.5 inches going the length of the building, 1/2 inch of foam board then sheetmetal. The rafters are 2x4's. I want to use foam board, and the easiest would be to screw it to the underside of the rafters. This would leave 3 1/2" of dead air...

My service/meter is at the road on my property. There is a 200 amp disconnect in my side of the meter. My home is wired to it 500ft away. I am wanting to run service about 275 ft to my driveway for a gate, lights cameras and whatever else I might want in the future. I figure 30 amps would be...

I like to buy local, but often find better deals or combo's online and its just easier. Looking to get a Miller 215. Been using a Lincoln Weld-Pak 100 for years. Works ok for small jobs but I want to step up to Mig with some power and added stick capability would be nice. I am a once or twice a...

After freezing while working on my truck, I have decided it's time for some heat. I have a 30x55x16 building with 1/2" foam insulation, two 12x14 doors, 1 10x12. In Northern OK. Propane is my fuel choice. I plan to keep it heated all winter at 45ish and want to be able to heat it up when...

Here is the issue. I have a 3 car garage 24' deep. One door is 16ft wide and the other has a 103" wide opening. I am getting a late model F350 dually. 22+ feet long, 96" wide. Garage is actually around 33'7 deep by the time you figure door clearance. Easy answer is park on the side with the...

I am finally getting around to ordering a heater for my 30x53x16 shop. In North Oklahoma and settled on 125k btu. Is there any advantage to spending the extra few hundred on a two stage unit?

I have a lot of M18 tools and never had an issue. I bought my first M12 Fuel 2402 screwdriver and it only works for about 20 seconds after battery is inserted. I bought it a few months ago but only just got it out to use it. Charged the battery and stuck it in. By the time I walked about 20 ft...

I’m on the hunt for a hot water pressure washer for my shop. Don’t need an industrial model. Just something reliable that can last for years of occasional use. What brands should I consider?

What would a less than a year old KRL1032 be worth on the used market? It’s the type with two full width drawers.

Went by Menards and took a look today. They had a blue 72" on display. I am on the fence between blue or black. Just had a lift installed and it's blue. Not a fan of the green handles on the brown. I also was looking at the 36". Both have a large drawer on top with the other wide width drawers...

I have a garage with a nearly full set of wrenches, sockets, and other tools. Same for my equipment shed (not really a shed) with tractor, mowers and the like. Now I have a new tall stuff building and am about to get a nice big tool box for it. Have a lift in there also. I plan to use it for...

I am on the hunt for a decent oil drain pan for my new lift. The Arksen 20 gallon at $150 seems to have more positive reviews on Amazon. I don't necessarily need that much storage, but it would be nice to only need to empty it once a year. What are you using with your lift? I have a two post.

Planning on a Rotary SPO10. What arm configuration makes the most sense? I will mostly be picking up Honda's, Vetts, Stangs to F150's and all in between with occasional F350 Dually and the like. I like the screwable pads, but honestly have little to no experience. I could use some sage advice...

I have an eclectic mix of auto sizes. 1 ton dually down to honda civics. Is there a lift that will do it all safely? I have been looking in the 10k range. Just concerned that a lift wide enough for a dually will still have the ability to pick up a narrow Honda or similar. It will see lots of...

I want to heat my building. It has 1" foam insulation. Primarily want to keep it above freezing so I don't need to winterize my RV. Winters are not that cold. Only a few sub zero nights with mostly lows around 15-25. I have propane close and would prefer a forced air and possibly sealed...

I ran across this while cleaning out family storage. It's got this funky arm that extends to present a tool or something. Can anyone tell me what it was actually used for?

I have an old cheapie laser level to use for setting grades for drainage and stuff. It never worked real well in sun. The receiver died so I was thinking of picking up the GRL 250 from lowes. I suffer from what's better itis and looked to see the other models in the line. After some searching...

New building is almost finished. Time to run power. When we bought the land, we put a mobile home for temporary housing while we planned our eventual home. We still have the power panel that was set next to it. This panel is fed from 450ft away with 4/0 4/0 4/0 with a local ground rod. I have...

This week our floor is being poured in our 30x50 building. They are planning to pour the garage door relief when they pour the pad. I have been around a few garage pours and they always did it as part of the building/garage floor pour. There have been a lot of different methods to sculpt it...

I am in central Oklahoma and putting up a new RV shop. Building is going up in a few weeks and I need to source doors. Two 12x14 and one 10x12. I want top quality insulated doors since they are so large and big wind is pretty normal around here. Shop will be insulated and heated in winter...
