    Overseas Shipping?

    Have any of you done this? I need to ship a kit car chassis fron England to Texas that is about 9' long X 4' wide x 30' tall and weighs about 350 lbs. My first quote was $5,000 and a 2 month delivery time. YIKES! Although I haven't done it yet, a friend said to check air freight as it was...

    When square and when round (tubing of course)

    If you were fabricating a kit car chassis when would you want to use round vs. square or rectangular tubing. Square tubing just seems so much easier to work with.

    Metal Halide light?

    Based upon numerous posts here I have bought a metal halide light to use as an area light in front of my garage. One thing is buggin me and no one seems to know in the stores, do these lights take a while to "warm up" to full output and buzz like the mercury and sodium vapor lights do?

    Fluctuating current & lightning - what do I do?

    This is whole house related as well as the garage. I am building my home and in the process have determined that we have a lot of voltage fluctuations. My neighbors confirm that has been an issue for years and the power company simply won't upgrade the area "grid". I haven't a clue about...

    In-floor safes/boxes

    I am looking for an in-floor storage box for papers, etc. It doesn't have to be a safe per se, as I will depend upon stealth for most of the protection. My thoughts are that I want it to be of a reasonable size cube, larger than the typical safe so that I can organize or even use file folders...

    18' Garage door?

    I'm building my house and put in an 18' wide opening now I'm having trouble finding anything but 16' wide doors. The garage is 24' x 25' so I didn't want a bottle neck at the door. This garage is for the daily drivers not for working on. So it won't get cluttered (famous last words) I want the...

    Seal for barrel door?

    I've just finished the exterior of my new shop/garage and I opted for barrel doors rather than a sectional door. My reasoning was that even tho the sectional doors could be insulated they didn't fit nearly as tight as the barrel doors so I would have fewer drafts. I was up in the new loft area...

    Clear Epoxy Sealer

    Have any of you guys had any experience with a clear epoxy sealer? With so many of the epoxy floor paints lifting on hot tires I want to be sure I get a brand that's secure. After spending time in a stain/seal and concrete overlay class I have decided to go with a concrete stain for the floor...
