I just got the Model 3 Bender from Van Sant and this thing works great. We are currently upgrading three racecars to 2007 spec. ahead of time and in the interest of safety. Currently using an inexpensive tubing notcher for now and will research that to get a good one. The price and quality are...

In the Residential Code of New York State Table 602.3.1 2 x 4 @12"oc. is for 10 to 12 ft. heights max. supporting roof only. This 12 " oc. spacing may have to do with your wall height vs. your framing size choice 2 x 4 vs. 2 x 6 ( possibly based on cost of material ) 2 x 6 framing at 16"oc...

Just got the Bigfoot tile samples. The red plastic tile looks a bit cheap for my taste. If price is the issue then this is your tile. The rubber looks to be of a good grade however the color sent was a nasty yellow and not impressive. Quality looks to be good. I dont know about the interlock on...

That company is sending me a sample of their Bigfoot tile both in plastic and rubber. I already have a RaceDeck sample and I will compare the quality and post what I see in a few days. The price is hard to beat. I will be doing a 1200 storage area for cars / motorcycles. The usage won't wear the...

You could use a 28 ft. steel I dropped with 2 x 12 fj's leaving a 16 ft. span. Another solution is to have a ML or a paralam beam sized if the steel has you worried. I used a 24 foot W10 and a 30 foot W12 in my barn with 3 x 10 floor joists ( true dimension locally cut lumber ) supported with 4...

Nice building. Congradulations on your permit fight. I file plans and permits in Nassau and Suffolk County for a living and the process can at times be very difficult. We now have the pleasure of dealing with a " new " state building code based on the International Building Code. Many states...

Just make sure you get lien releases from the contractor. I have many customers that ended up with liens from contractors not paying suppliers. Recently one that bounced a check to a supplier had also let his license expire. A complaint was filed by the owner with consumer affairs. They gave...

Folding saw horses. I bought two pairs of these. Time is money and I had no scrap to build my own. They are great because they fold up nice and can be hung on the wall. They also have made the trip between homes many times so folding ones were a great choice. Great for holding body panels (...

I would just look at all the amazing idea's on this site and e-mail the people with building's you like for more info. on them. I wanted more of a barn look and did look into pole barns, post and beam and stick built. I decided against pole barns when I found someone who built post and beam...

I will post the side garage view when the storage container gets removed as well as the inside when completed. Some work days are more fun than others. Wow what a beautiful car. :bowdown: I didn't design the future home for this ride but I am obtaining the variances / permits for it. Should...

I have the same strips nailed to the exterior. No air infiltration on them at all. The door has a nice bulb shaped gasket on the bottom. They have to be installed tight to the door. I had to reposition them on my other garage after the door had been installed. Still some foam strips slid into...

Some more GarageTech was there today installing the slat wall panels on three of the four walls. The floor is ceramic tiled. They will cap the concrete block along the side with tile as well. The utilities are also located raised up with tile underneath for a neat clean look. Then...

Here is a knockdown I just completed on a 1000sq. ft. ranch. Nothing was left but the floor system and the garage ( of course :thumbup: ) We added a complete 2nd floor and two story front and rear additions. The garage itself is in the final stages on completion on its makeover so I thought it...
