Hi guys, I'm looking for recommendations for a northeast based steel building supplier. I'm looking at possibilities for a 30k SF warehouse for a new business location. All of the big national companies have mixed reviews, figured it might be easier to deal with someone local. This will be...

Just curious about your experiences if you've ever rented out your place for a movie or commercial shoot, or even events like weddings or parties. The idea got stuck in my head after seeing that Magnus Walker documentary, clearly he's doing it on a very large scale but he does make a good...

I heard a buzzing yesterday, come to find out that the motor on my attic fan seized. Obviously I need to replace it, but what should I look for in an attic fan? Any brands to look for or stay away from? Any specific air volume to get (if that's even an option)? Never shopped for attic fans...

Our shed finally gave up under the weight of all the snow we've been having. Didn't even occur to me to check the roof, the shed is sort of out of mind because it's back in the woods. So, now I'm paying for it. Here's the pics - is it worth saving? If not, is there anything affordable out...

Looking for vintage workstations / cabinets and vintage work tables. I've been searching for a couple of months and haven't found ANYTHING. Hoping the gurus at GJ can help me out :D Below are pictures of the types of items I'm searching for (I sourced these images from the forum for examples):

The cartridge circulator burned up in our Peerless boiler last night - sounded and smelled like the motor itself seized. Upon closer inspection, it looks like a hose connection in one of the pipes above has been dripping right on the casing for years. Obviously this needs to be replaced...

I know I've seen these before but have no idea what to call them. I'm looking for a 40's-60's toolbox workstation - the kind that has a worktable in the center with storage above, and a large, tall toolbox on either side. I'm sure that they were originally sold in pieces and then assembled as...

We've got a raised ranch style house - so our master bedroom is directly over the garage. The rest of the house heats up fine, but it stays very cold in the bedroom because there's no living area underneath - the garage is not heated. The garage ceiling is insulated, but I'm wondering if...

I have absolutely no affiliation with this program or company. I was actually looking for a 3D drafting program to design a kitchen cabinet and came across this: http://www.punchsoftware.com/p-5-home-design-studio-pro.aspx They've got a whole selection of similar products. I'm using the demo...

My wife and I just moved into a house upstate, and like many houses in this area it has a wood burning stove installed for heating purposes. To help reduce our heating costs, and because I have delusions of being Paul Bunyan, I've been aching to try my hand at heating the house with the stove...

If you do, are there any small-sized machines that can be used to make parts sized up to 14"x10" or so? All of the machines I see are massive, designed for huge production houses. Just wondering if there are any smaller, less fancy machines out there.

This will be my first "construction" project in my new garage. There's a workroom that takes up half of one bay, and I'd like to put a picture window in the wall that faces the garage, so that I can see the garage while working in there. I assume I need to cut the existing framing out, and...

Awesome car, just need the room. Price dropped to $4200. More info on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170560816665

I know next to nothing about furnaces - we've always lived in apartments. Now we're homeowners, and while I can do most repairs around the house I know almost nothing about heat. I do know that we're going through a crapload of oil though - the furnace kicks on every hour or so for 15-20...

Well this is sort of a flooring question. I have a basic 19hp riding mower. I cleared a short trail on one side of my property so I can drag leaves from the grass down into the woods to dispose of them. Problem is, the hill is too steep for the tractor to come back up on dirt, but it WILL go...

I've been playing around with Racedeck's online designer and I'm ready to finally figure out what I need and place an order, but there's one problem - my floor is shaped differently than any of their online options. It's basically a standard rectangular 2-car garage floor, but there's a...

One of my first projects in the new garage is to strip the walls down to the bare sheetrock, repair and repaint. I got to this area today and had an issue. This is not a structural wall, it was built by the previous owner to hold electrical sockets along the foundation in the garage. I...

Putting my '67 Corvair up for sale. I just don't drive it as much as I'd like to, and I have too many toys taking up space right now. I flew from NY to Indiana to pick this car up a few months ago, and then drove it 800 miles back home the next day. The car performed FLAWLESSLY the entire...

I thought this day might never come - my fiance and I signed a contract on our first house, which just so happens to have a 2-car garage :bounce: Actually, it's a 1.5 car garage - the previous owner built a small office/shop at the back of one of the bays. On the other side, an oil tank is...
