I bought a used steel building frame that I would like to make a wider building out of. My idea is to add a lean to.

In between me and my fiend we have close to 20 Dodge rams. It is a pain to have that many keys. I know that locksmiths can take apart the locks and re key them. I would like to purchase the tools and stuff to re-key my locks. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

In the planning and dreaming stages of my shop, I hope to build next spring. Ok from what I'm gathering, a polished concrete floor might be the best for me. I will weld and cut, and have heavy items. Machine tools and forklift, pallet jacks, jackstands and even semi trucks in my shop. What is...
