I'm searching for ideas and recommendations on how to design the ventilation system on a paint room that I am planning. It will be a 26'x14' 10' high room constructed in a corner of my building, it will be used for hobby use painting cars & parts for myself. I honestly don't know where to...

I'm trying to decide if I want to pay to have this lift installed or tackle it myself. Installation is $450, I consider myself capable of such a task, but is there any reason I shouldn't do it myself? The fact that it is going to be supporting a car over my head does make me nervous about it...

Didn't really find an answer through searching, I'm guessing 30 days minimum. It's 5" 4000# with fiber if that makes any difference. I'm looking to put in a 2 post lift asap. Thanks! Steve

Hopefully this is a easy question... is it a problem if where you are looking to put a lift is in an area that the floor has some grade to a floor drain? Thanks, Steve

What should be done when pouring a floor in an existing building with no frostwall? In my area most of these pole barns go up and they just pour a pad out to the base board, but is that not a bad idea? Thanks, Steve

Hello everyone. Starting to think and plan for a lighting layout on a 40'x60'x16' building. It's a steel building, 16' at eaves and appox. 18' at the peak. Did a little reading on here and it sounds like either T5 HO or metal halide (sp?) are the favorites. One thing I hate is working in the...

Hello everyone! I need an education on foundations for an all steel/steel truss type building. What is the standard if there is such a thing? I was initially figuring on not being able to do the floor right away, but now it might be a possibility. My one main concern is that the area that I...
