In my 14’ moto enclosed race trailer I went the deep cycle 12v route. I mounted a trickle charger up and have a plug in on the outside I connect to power when I’m home. FWIW, the 12v power a vehicle provides to charge the breakaway battery won’t do much for charging a deep cycle. Battery is...

Copperheads are not an aggressive snake, not at all unless you step on it. Neither are coral snakes. Having handled all manner of snakes my entire life, portraying them as friendly pets on the interwebs is not impressive, it’s reckless. Not to you, do as you please, but to the uninformed that...

Looks like progress! You may already know this, but hang your ceiling drywall first, then do the walls. If you’re working solo, you can rent a drywall lift at Home Depot, makes it very easy

Great looking shop! Love the pup pics, not often you see a Kangal Dog.

I have a couple of 40' I use for storage. They actually have a pair of small, like 8"x3" vents on each end. Not nearly adequate, but you may could enlarge to help ventilation. My main tip is if you are buying unseen, be sure to tell them you need a clean/decent interior...

In my area it is generally $1 a foot for contractor pricing. Not sure retail cost. This is for open cell, 5" on walls and under roof decking. I have used 3 different companies over the last few years and fwiw, they all say the cost to do walls is half what it takes to do under roof decking.

Fwiw, skipping the sizing calculations.... I’m having a 20kw Briggs installed 60’ from my meter base and running on LP. No cost yet on the LP connection but my supplier stated it should be about $250. I have a variable speed AC that’s locked amp draw is only 10.8, in my case I will not need...

My '08 f250 weighs 8000lbs+, you'll be fine for the lift. Cement truck is totally diff

You could just put a shelf and skip the cubby. Kohler make a couple sizes of these and different finishes https://www.homedepot.com/p/KOHLER-Choreograph-14-in-W-Floating-Shower-Shelf-in-Bright-Polished-Silver-K-97622-SHP/206118322

This is being way over thought.... Just add a stud at the joints via toe nailing. Takes 15 seconds per stud....

Ahh, yes I spoke incorrectly, misread the feed

Just run the service cable in the wall. No need for conduit once inside a finished wall space.

Usually you run conduit up the outside wall to the height of your panel. Then run the service wire into the back of the panel. If you can run it inside an unfinished wall, that is acceptable.

3/4 pex for water line, sleeve it with pex sleeve where it passes thru concrete. 2” drain line for the sink, any pvc drain pipe, couple wraps with sill sealer where it passes thru concrete. DWV under slab, do leak test before the concrete is poured. 2” schedule 80 for electric, you could go 1...

Talk to Jerry at JM Buildings, Bryan - he stays busy but does good work. Have had him do several projects. I’ve used Hawthorne, Magnolia - before and they were ok. Their concrete work was a little...ehh. You could also talk to Archery Buildings, Madisonville I think - got a quote on a project...

Side note, you can order custom fabricated SS in almost any dimensions you want, not crazy expensive easily online. A google search for “stainless steel fabrication online” will reveal plenty of sources.

Whatever you do, do not leave any studs not covered by backerboard, then tile. Just don’t. If you do, you will be rebuilding your shower in a couple of years. The proper way is to set 3 studs in the wall, covered with backerboard, (red guard, preferably) then tile, mounting the hinges into...

One thing to consider, when you wall off the lower area, you are creating a wall for water to push against. Most codes require lower enclosure wall to be breakaway that will collapse when moving water pushes against it. This would be something to keep in mind when building a raised shop floor...

Raise the roof. That would be the most efficient method.
