I'm building a 5x6x10 compressor room in my garage so I don't have to listen to it while I'm working. The compressor is a 80 gallon 2 stage Ingersoll Rand. I figure it will put off a good amount of heat, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to remove the heat. I have been thinking about...

I'm getting ready to start insulating my new 28x36 pole barn with r19 and I noticed that there is a small gap at the bottom of my walls. It is where the big ribs on the outside metal meet the rat guard at the bottom. It's also where the metal siding meets the divider for the wainscot. (wish I...

I'm getting close to pouring the floor in my shop and I've been thinking about putting in a couple tie downs (Or whatever they are called) so I can do some light collision repair in my shop. I have tried searching on here to find ideas, but I don't know if I'm calling them by the wrong name or...

I have been going back and forth on which way to go on my garage and thought I would ask opinions on here. I need to check to see if pole barns are acceptable in my area, but I would imagine I wouldn't have any problems. If I go stick built we would do all the work ourselves. I would like to...

I'm hoping to start building a garage come spring time and I'm trying to get some rough ideas in my head of cost and what i can plan for. One of the things is finishing the outside. That'll porbably be one of the few things I'll have contracted out instead of doing myself. My question is, is...

I have a question about pouring the slab. When you stick build a building, you dig a footer and lay a block foundation or pour it, and then pour the slab. After looking at pole barns, it looks like the floor is poured after the building is built and there is no foundation? Or is there other...
