I’m wanting to paint my red iron this is out under my lean. It’s just showing a lot of fading right now. What type of paint would be best for this? Would an exterior enamel hold up longer than a latex based paint? I know I’ll be doing this again just would like to put something on it that’s...

Update in post#44 Late last year was looking into buying the Milwaukee m18 fuel impact. After a lot of searching I went with the mid-torque over the high. I’ve had problems repeatedly busting lug nuts loose. On the highest setting with a fully charged 5.0 battery it will not break the lugs...

Just got my 2 post lift delivered and will be looking to put it up soon. I have a bay in the shop that I’m planning on putting it in, but not sure how much room I should leave at the front. Currently don’t have anything in the area and would like to push it further up in but not be cramped and...

I’ve searched and seen a lot on here about this. Some threads I read say don’t go by the hp rating but the information that’s on the tag, then I’ve seen some that says this up rating= this size. Figured I would come here and get the answer for myself. Buddy just won a 7.5hp compressor from his...

I know there are a lot of topics on here about foam in general, but really didn’t find what I was looking for. Looking at having closed cell sprayed in a 30’x50’x16’. The building already has 3” vinyl backed insulation in the ceiling, so I’ll just be spraying the walls. Also have 3 uninsulated...

after finishing building my shop a couple months ago I’ve came into another project. I just purchased some land that adjoins my place that has a 30x50x16 red iron building on it. The building was built 3 years ago and has the roof insulated. The building has no wall insulation. Is there any...

About to order a 2 stage 60 gallon Quincy compressor for my shop. Been planning on putting it outside to free up space. Originally I thought I would do an enclosure and put a door on it. Installing vents and a fan as well. It does concern me of working on it or doing maintenance. On a rural road...

Well after a lot of planning, got my shop wired up by a local company a while back. Originally I was only planning on having a small welder, because I can use the big ones at work anytime. I have traded and acquired a Lincoln power mig 255 all of a sudden. Now I need it fixed up to use. My local...

Can't find it now, but just seen on here last week or so about staying away from the James LED's right now. Something to do with UL. Any insight on this? I was getting ready to order when I ran across that. Seen the comparable alphalite fixtures but they only come in 5000k it appears.

I had a red iron building built back earlier this year. Looked at getting some of the electrical done and was wondering about grounds. The building has a 4 wire feeder ran to an inside panel at the shop. It is fed from the house that has two ground rods to my service up there. I know there needs...

First off I'm not going to be wiring this myself, I don't have the knowledge. But I would like to know I'm getting what I'm paying for. Attached pictures are of my setup now. Power company ran me a 400A service (320). The 200 amp panel to the left has my outside breakers and feeds my 125 amp...

http://www.astadoor.com Anyone have any experience with asta brand doors? I believe it is horizon steel that sells these doors out of Atlanta GA. I'm looking for 2 12x12 and 1 12x14 roll up doors. This place has pretty good prices and seems to sell a lot of doors. Just haven't found many...

Been looking around her for a while, but just joined up tonight. I'm having a 40x60 shop built at the house and needing to get power to it. My house has a 400 amp service. I have a 200 amp that is feeding my house, then a 200 amp box that will feed my shop. From the panel to the sub panel is...
