I know the image is way clearer in my head and I apologize, but whateg01 has it. It's not complicated at all. It's for a John Deere tractor and it is just to extend down from the bottom step. Most tractors have two or 3 steps already built on them. They are not made to break away. They have to...

People will hate on me all day, but if you don't plan on welding a lot and your in it as a hobby and around the house then you can't beat something like a Vulcan OmniPro 220 for the price. By all means this is not a top of the line welder and no I wouldn't buy it and throw on my welding truck...

I'm creating an additional step for my tractor. It currently has two steps and I want to make a third step closer to the ground. I've bought an linear actuator that will lower and raise the step. I didn't want a lot of play in the step so instead of going the square tubing route, I went with PTO...

Put the old Maxima on the lift to change out the A/C compressor. That was the easy part. Then the fight was on! A few hours and ****** knuckles later I was victorious. Round two will be next weekend when I put it back together:

Really appreciate all the replies. I don't think $1500 heaters is what I'm looking for, but I am very impressed with them. I hadn't realized the prices of mini splits or even window units with heat pumps have dropped so much. I think at minimum I'm looking at the Midea window units with a heat...

Have a Pioneer 1 ton mini split I bought off Amazon 5 to 6 years ago. Has been running 24/7 here in SE Texas non stop in my man cave. We had record heat last year with about 10 days in a row of almost 110F heat. Kept my 10x20 room any temp I wanted, mostly 72 to 74F. No problems at all. Our...

Just want to put my feelers out for what you guys think is a good heat source for a 10x20 enclosed work area. I already have a 1 ton mini split for my man cave. It is the same size. I am now enclosing the area next to my man cave. I thought about putting two fans in the wall that they will share...

@CraigStu Never said it was a big deal. Just needing ideas on how to delete the 2x6 / 2x4 from my past projects that got in the way. I'm thinking just the thicker bench top whether butcher block or double layers of 3/4" ply is gonna do the trick. As most work will be more tedious and low key, I...

Thank you guys so much for so many options. Desks are one idea that hadn't even crossed my mind. I agree most of the time it would probably be light work. Tedious work like working on small engines, chainsaws, fishing reels and such is what most of the work would be. But as someone mentioned I'd...

Wondering if anyone has a good idea for making a workbench from working from a chair. I already have a workbench for standing and now thinking to make another for more tedious work from a chair. The only reason for the question is that making the bench from say a 2x6 for sturdiness makes it hard...

Got all the leaves and dirt from this winter swept up. Floor space is looking good. Have most of the big things tucked away against the wall for now. Last pic is of the super cluttered work bench. Might tackle it today, might have to wait til next weekend.

Thanks all for the quick replies. I have seen several on amazon, but was just curious if any of you have went this route and have a specific supply you used. There are numerous ones on amazon, just some seem a little more solid than others. Have any of you actually went this route?

Been hunting for some outside flood lights. Right now I have a 500w halogen shining outside my roll up door. The bulb has burned out twice and I'm tired of climbing up and changing it. I've been looking on amazon for some 120v LED flood lights but don't see any really to my liking. What I...

I don't know the costs of later, but the thin radiant barrier stuff the builder uses now will be roughly $1800 if he puts it in right now. I'm certain it will cost more later, but I'd rather have electricity then a few degrees cooler in the summer. I'm with hippie, with a single income and...

Ok guys in hot humid climates. Slab is poured and the building will be installed this coming week if the weather holds up here in S.E. Texas. I have a 40x60x12 building being built. My builder quoted me $1750 to insulate the roof only. It is about 1" "thin" insulation with a radiant barrier...

Thanks all. I think either way I won't mind, but I'm leaning towards the sloped idea. I'll find the profile of the door from my builder and go from there. Thanks

x2 It's takes a little to get used to it, but it's free and works pretty well once you learn it.

Thank you very much Nuttsgt. With that much slope into your slab, where does your door hit? I take it your door sits a few inches "on the sloped" part of your slab correct? Thanks for helpful information.

Wow! Yes, jerk comes to mind. I'm sorry for not being clear on my question but you sure make a lot of assumptions from me asking a single question about how others on the forum have their concrete formed at their door openings. No one is throwing steel together from a truck. Where you come...

Sorry for not putting some more details. This is going to be a 40x50 metal building. It will be made from 4" square tubing. My builder doesn't have plans. After I pour the slab, the builder will come out to verify demensions and then build my building. He just mentioned the 2x2's for...
