I have a typical metal bldg, and I need to put some wood up between girts to then be able to attach & hang things from the wood. If it was a wood framed bldg, I'd be attaching things to studs, but my knowledge of metal bldgs is limited. The type of things I'm hanging are not super-heavy, just...

I just realized I haven't been getting the daily updates emails from some of the GJ forum I subscribe to (Intro Yourself, Tools, etc). Nor any emails from subscribed threads. Last emails were from Mon Nov 6. Nothing in two days. Just me, or anyone else? I have checked SPAM, and nothing there...

I've searched this forum, but my google-fu is failing me... I would like to build something to store lumber. To give you an idea of my storage needs, I like to keep 4-6 sheets of plywood, and a bunch of dimensional lumber, probably 30-40 sticks (total) of various sizes (2x4, 4x4, 2x10, 1x4...

I want to buy a miter saw. I think it would help me on several projects I want to tackle. I am an advanced beginner (or very basic intermediate) as far as skill level. All my wood cuts are currently made with a circular saw (or hand saws). My challenge is I know nothing about them, so I don't...

(Well, my wife's barn...) My wife wants a wall-mounted ladder so she can access the top of her tack room without hauling out a ladder every time. The pictures can explain this better than I can. Pic 1 shows the outside wall of the tack room. She wants the ladder mounted on this wall. The wall...

I have a new horse barn with four commercial-type overhead doors (roll-up steel). The motorized operators for each door require 120v, 20 amp circuit. If you knew you would never operate more than one door at a time, could you put all four on a single circuit? I would be doing this to save...

Getting ready to have my barn built. Contractor has built several barns for people I know, and all are very happy. So I have no reason to question his specs. Having said that... I know nothing about concrete specs. Nothing. Can I get some general feedback as to whether this is sufficient for my...

I'm getting ready to build a barn/garage for my ranch, probably around 50x40. It will be steel frame, concrete slab. It's mostly for storage of tractors & implements, mules, carts, mowers, trailers, sprayers, hoses and a million other odds & ends. I also want a workshop, where I can keep my...

Just closed on a new property, need to build a barn/garage, and I am looking for feedback (and an education) from y'all. I have some general questions first, and then I can start to develop a more detailed plan (and come back with more specific questions). At my old place, I had a 25x40...

Hello from Brenham TX. Beautiful part of Texas, rolling hills, wildflowers (bluebonnets!), and the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream. Just joined, as I'm getting ready to build a new barn/garage. We bought a new place in the country a couple weeks ago, and amazingly it does not have any barns on it...
