Radiant tube infrared heater. I installed on in my shop and it is fantastic. It's the same type of heater you'll find in the outdoor areas of restaurants. Mike

I have a radiant tube heater and a lift. I installed the heater to the side of the lift not above it. The manufacturer will have the minimum distances to objects.

Thanks, If you want to talk shops let me know. I've got lots of "lessons Learned". Mike

One of my buddies used these guys for driveway and concrete, he was happy and pretty damn picky. D & H Construction , google them. Their in Atlanta but did his job in East Cobb. mike

Jawn, I'm in Hickory Flat and built my shop a few years ago. I've got a build thread on here. You can probably be your own general contractor. It's a lot of phone calls and leg work but I think it's doable. Get with me if you want, Also, PWhittle we're really close, I'm off Sugar Pike. Mike

Any recommendations on where to get corrugated metal in white down south? Google is your friend for that, typically the corrugated is not painted, it's the silver/grey color of the zinc. If you want white you may have to use the "4 vee" or "5 vee" roofing. IIRC the corrugated I used was a the...

You will regret not insulating the roof, if money is an issue insulate the roof and do the ceiling later. To actually answer your question I used the corrugated tin and have been happy. It was inexpensive, easy to install, you don't have to paint it . . . ever. When i did mine several years...

You may have done this already but be sure to read your local zoning regulations carefully. When I obtained the building permit for my shop build I was shocked to learn that I could only build a 900 square foot GARAGE . . . . but because of my zoning I could build an AGRICULTURAL OUTBUILDING as...

I bought mine at Back Home Metal Roofing in Grayson, Ga. That's NE of Atlanta. There is probably a similar place closer to you. https://www.facebook.com/BackHomeMetalRoofing The advantage of buying from them over HD is you give them your measurements and it's all cut to length. You're not...

Same here, I'm in Union Hill community. Mike

I bought a PV10000 (I think) from Greg Smith a couple of years ago. While installing it I realized the threaded hole in the cylinder for the hydraulics had a bad thread and you couldn't screw in the fitting. I called the salesman, he said I see you're at least an hour away, I'll ship a new one...

I sent my Chevy truck ABS module to ABSFixer and had a quick turn around and it worked perfectly. I'd use them again. Mike

Check the zoning carefully. I was limited to 900 SF for a "garage", but an "agricultural outbuilding" was unlimited as long as I fit inside the setback of the lot. I love my agricultural outbuilding. Also look at whats needed for a waiver. Maybe a certain style of garage will satisfy them...

Wow! I've fallen behind on posting on my own build thread. First thanks for the complements and questions, it still amazes me that this thread keeps going. "Mike... Great shop/ barn/ play area.... I work at Lockheed in Ft. Worth in the F35 Flight Test group... good to have you on the program...

Check out my build thread. I used corrogated tin. It's fairly lightweight, reflects light very well and you can buy it cut to length which really speeds up the install. I've got some details in there on how I trimmed out the ends and edges. Also it'll never need painting. It's as close to...

Lockheed is re-engining the C-5 fleet now and we're painting the nacelles in the Coatings shop. The plane is much quieter with the new engines installed! And thanks for the compliments. Mike

Don't be silly . . . . you know Rovers never break! I need to post more photos with all the tools & equipment in place, just haven't gotten around to it. Mike

Thanks Jeff; I've been reading your posts on the Rover boards for years. And I've always liked the 2 door RRC "roadster"! It has patina. Mike

Take a look at my build thread, I did some simple galvy sheet metal pieces to finish the edges where wall meets ceiling. Mike

You'll get my vote; although I wish I'd entered mine! Mike
