    Suggestions for wall mounting my new 100k BTU furnace

    Hi all, I just purchased and assembled a 100k BTU furnace with some basic ducting for my 28x48x16 shop, and was curious if anyone had some last minute input on mounting it to the wall. I bought some 3/16"x1 1/2 x 1 1/2" angle iron and was going to make some shelf brackets, but thought I'd throw...

    Wanted my garage to look like a barn but having issues getting red vinyl siding

    Got my new shop all wired up, any changes I should make?

    Me and my stepfather wired my shop last week, and thought I'd pick you brains on what we ended up with since I could still tweak it if desired. I put 3 rows of 4' and 8' 2/4 light T5 fixtures down my main shop, (28'x48'x16'), (4) 4' T5's up above my work/tool area (8' height), 4 recessed cans...

    Interior sheathing ideas?

    I'm getting ready to cover the inside of my shop. I like flame resistant material such as sheetrock, but I like the versatile plywood where it's rugged and I can screw to it. I was thinking plywood for most of the shop and maybe concrete board in my main work area/tool area where cut off saws...

    Best way to do a 28' clear span?

    Hi all, I have many questions posted in a different thread so I think my most important question is getting overlooked or not getting the proper attention. My new garage is 28' wide with 16' ceilings and I'm putting a very short second floor in the back (28' wide by 10' long), mainly for easier...

    My new 28x48 with 16' ceiling shop is framed. What are you tips for the rest?

    I am just completing the framing of my new 28x48x16 shop, and although I have some ideas, wanted some other peoples input.
