I've always wanted a large shop to work on my junk and store my Jeep parts. I have a little over an acre of property and the back yard is most of the acre. That was one reason I wanted to buy this house, lots of space for a shop. It will take me a long time to build this shop while I work...

My neighbor built his own steel shop building, slab included and then started prepping for the electrical power. He was going to trench it and run the conduit and wires and then let the power company come hook it up. They told him they would not allow it and charged him over $3000 to run power...

I've always wanted to build my own large shop building and I'm starting the process. I'm just starting the concrete slab plans and will start that soon, the steel structure won't go up for a while cause it will be bought with overtime money as able. It will be steel beams and no trusses. I've...

I don't know much about household elect stuff. I only have 1 twin tube light assy in my garage. I'd like to add 2 more twin tube setups in the ceiling and prob some kind of light in there that won't be blocked by the door when it's up. I'm rebuilding my Jeep out there and the lack of light...

We found a nice house built in 2008. It has a 2 car attached and is on the front of an acre lot, which leaves me plenty of room for a 60x40 out back. Right now the garage is a mess due to moving and the projects that are in work. The Harley is the only vehicle using the garage. Here's a...

I am calling around getting quotes for my shop build to see what everything will cost and was talking with an electrician today. He said he should be able to tap off of the house and run 100A to the shop, if I needed more I should get a seperate service. I'd rather not do a seperate service if...

I want to build a 40x60 and was planning to use steel beams for the main structure. My buddy is a welder and he is suggesting saving money and using 4" square tube for the frame with truss style roof. I just don't know how I feel about the square tube instead of the beams?? With the beams...

We are buying a new house and it has an aerobic system behind the house. We went out today and measured off some space in the back for me to build a shop. We are on just a hair over an acre and the house is set towards the front, so that leaves me plenty of shop space. I want to see if I can...

I've always wanted a lift and now we are buying a house and planning for a 30x40 shop as soon as I can afford it. I need to pick out a lift and make sure I can design the shop and make the proper allowances for the lift to fit and function. I like the 2 post lifts. Biggest truck we own is my...

We are buying a new house and looking to buy a 10x16 Garden Style building from Lelands. I would like to run elec to the building for lights and at least 1 outlet. Lights are good to have, and need an outlet to run the Battery Tender for my riding mower and I'm sure there will be something...

Hope to be moving into our new house at the end of this month, bad part is we'll be leaving the 30x40 shop that is at our rental house. The new house has a typical 2 car garage and that's it. I have to store all my tools and equipment in there, and the Harley. No cars will be in there for a...

We are shopping for a house and my main concern is finding a place with plenty of property to build on. We have found 2 places that match our price and have land to use. I guess I need to figure out what my dream shop is, and what it will cost. I know it will be hard for me to afford to build...
