I have two of the Snap On and have used them for 25 years. Obviously other screwdrivers are satisfactory and the bits interchange, but this is one of those tools you reach for every single time you work on something, a top drawer item. Haven't used the Williams which looks like a close copy...

I was at a car show last summer and visited a display of countertops/cabinets/modular floors and noticed they used regular formica countertops sprayed with black spray-in bedliner material. I thought this seemed like a great DIY idea as the bedliner material is very durable and would add...

Thank you both for the reply, the "coziness" and the improved heat and light are just what I am trying to do, Todd C

hholmburg, do you think your farmer method would work on mice and/or crickets? I had lots of crickets last year. Todd C

OK, I am just brainstorming here, would welcome any input. I have a large quonset, bigger than I need (for now) but I like the open space with no posts to hit, so have held off building walls and such to divide it up. However, it has about a 16ft high roof and I think a ceiling might help me...

Does anybody have a recommendation on a brand of lift? The Backyard Buddy people have very compelling ads, are they actually superior to other brands? Todd

I have had a Miller for 10 years and am very happy with it.

Krooser, are those electric or gas? I would love to use electric if they would be satisfactory, can you tell me more about these? Thanks, Todd

Sounds good, thanks for the tips, Todd

Guys, thanks for the tips, I was ready to get the kerosene version and your suggesting the propane is probably better for my situation. SO with that, what about the difference in forced air and convection? The Reddyheat site describes the difference, I think I probably need the forced air. OR...

Hmmm, I did not know about a film over everything, I did of course know about the noise and fumes. Have you got a link for the propane heaters? Thanks, Todd C

I have the metal shed, 45x70 and am interested in what those of us with big buildings are doing for heat. I plan to buy the ReadyHeater kerosene heater and would like to know if I am better with one large one (175-200,000 BTU) or two small ones (100,000 ea). Any ideas? Thanks, Todd

I agree on the clear span, I never liked pole buildings for that reason. The wind load is a good thing for me too, windswept fields and tornados, you know. If I can only deal with my ill fitting sliding barn doors I will be OK with it. Good luck with yours, Todd C

To 49t&c, thanks for the reply, I began to think I am the only one with a quonset. Mine also has sliding doors and they are the worst feature of the whole building. I would like to replace them but still have no good plan yet. Where are you getting your spray booth from? Todd C

Yes, my first choice. The price quoted was too high, in my initial opinion--$5800, and the local dealer was not eager to take on the job, so I am still looking.

Thank you to all, these were the kinds of answers I needed. Given my situation outlined in items # 1 and # 4 and the size of the opening, any advice on what would be the best kind of door? Remember, I do not need a high or wide door, I will just be driving cars in and out, but am stuck with...

Thanks Mike, here is the issue. I have moved my cars into a 45 x 70 quonset, with a 14ft high x 22ft wide opening and sliding barn doors. The barn doors must go, and doing a regular garage door would require framing in the opening in wood for a very patched together situation. I do not really...

Come on guys, no one here has a steel building with a large door to deal with? I really could use some advice, thanks, Todd C

In spring 2004 (when building materials were cheaper) I was quoted by three sources between $10,000 and $15,000 for a detached 24x32 building only, not including heat, air, wiring, interior walls or anything else inside. If the house and shop are both to your liking otherwise I think the $20K...

Is anyone with a metal building using a bi fold door like this? My main problem with my metal building is that I have a 22x14ft opening with sliding barn doors that I hate. Has anyone used doors as below, would welcome some feedback, thanks, Todd C http://www.bifold.com/door/quonset.cfm
