As a certified amateur conduit ruiner, I'd like a check on my plan to pipe my lights and switches. A sketch would probably help but in the meanwhile, trying to pipe the below arrangement in EMT in a 30*40 red iron building: -8 lights; two rows of 4. -3 switch locations, one on each wall except...

I don't want combo arc fault/ground fault, and I've got a plug-on neutral load center, so why not use it if I can? But I can't find the breaker in question. Anyone know if it is or isn't made? And yes, hooking up that pigtail IS that big a deal :D

I work in commercial/industrial construction and we throw away more duct work on an average job than it would take to run duct in most detached shops (I just personally tossed 40' of 8" spiral, 60' of 12" spiral...) So maybe the answer is "cost of duct" and I just forget that an average person...

Hi, I'm wrapping up on the structure of a 30'*40'*12' shop with a 3/12 roof pitch, and the gable end being the 40' side. I have six, four lamp 4' t5ho fixtures that I salvaged from a warehouse renovation. Would they be suitable? They were mounted previously at about 18' AFF. In my case, would I...

Doing my own (first time) erection on a 30x40x12. I've gotten nearly complete with the initial framing (see picture as of last night...have all red iron up except door jambs, figure I'll get it square/plumb and then set those after), but have a few questions: -What's best process for squaring...

Wife is not accepting a coiling door for detached metal building, 12'x12' opening. I want maximum ceiling height, so regular segmented garage door doesn't excite me, but need to keep her happy with the aesthetics. So, what are my options? Can I get a "normal" residential raised panel door with...

Such a lift exist? My F550 weighs right at 10,000 per scales at the dump and I have a stock ride height C6 Corvette. Is there a lift that can handle both tasks? F550 will be on lift far less often than a variety of smaller/lighter cars, but would like the option. Am prepping my slab for a 30x40...

Hello, I've purchased the above described red iron building which has a single 12'x12' door on the 40' W gable end and a 10'x10' door that can go on either 30' side. I want a two post lift to be planned for ahead of concrete so need to pin down location. I'm nervous 30' is too shallow and...

Howdy, Much to my wife's dismay, we're building another garage before we build a house (currently live in the finished upstairs of a 28x46 garage). This one is a 30x50x17 corrugated, half-round, steel building. Ugly as sin in my opinion, but the price was right, and I need a taller building...
