My drawings had a design load of 85 lbs for snow. I have what steelmaster refers to as the X model, so no vertical walls.

The respirator is a good point to make. When they were spraying mine i took a walk over and asked the guy if i could poke my head in and look. He was hesitant to say yes, but then said you really need to hold your breath. I opted to wait 24 hours before walking in, and even then i didn't stay...

I just built my steel arch building this summer. I did the spray foam insulation and so far hearing has been pretty easy. Depending on the temps I'm about 1 bag of wood pellets a day. The biggest drawback I have found is mounting anything to the walls. Had I thought about it, I would have...

I just had my 30x36 quanset hut done in spray foam. It ended up around 3-4 inches thick and sealed the building up pretty well. I also looked at the DIY kits and after seeing how this stuff is applied I am glad I had a professional do it. That chemical is pretty nasty, and if the mix is wrong it...

What do you mean by Solar Seal ?

I really dig the baseboard lighting. Looks great!

that water is a bummer. I am battling a similar issue with my hut and the snow collecting at the base. when it builds up and the snow pack against the metal melts it ends up seeping under my base plates. This is 99% my fault as when i was laying out the base plates I got them square and perfect...

I have it down to just under 4 bucks a day. I wait for our local menards to put pellets on sale. This batch was 3.81 a bag if memory serves me correctly. I purchased 2 tons this last round, which should take me somewhere into march. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a love/hate relationship with the pellet stove. I love that I can use a thermostat on it and it's fairly cheap to run. What I hate is storing the pellets and hauling them around. I did run a propane line as well but I had the pellet stove sitting unused in my basement. So far I am...

I was on call all last week and unable to make a lot of progress. I did however get one of my boxes moved in and some other equipment. I have also decided to start framing the walls out and adding fiberglass insulation in the walls. My goal is to heat with a candle ;) Sent from my iPhone using...

My wink integrates with the MyQ garage door opener. I have 2 linked into my hub, when my wife's garage door opens the basement lights turn on for her. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My rigging trying to square the tracks up. Now that's done its on to the torsion springs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, my local Menards price was 89 cents a piece and individually wrapped no less. Ohh and the only stocked 5 at a time.....

Thanks! The Quonset hut is definitely a different bird. While working on getting my upper garage door track mounted i was having a fantastic time locating the bolts in the upper section under 3-4 inches of foam. It looks like the guys that sprayed the upper section layed it on a lot thicker...

I ordered 100 of the threaded rod connectors on line for 42 cents a piece from the nutty company. https://www.nutty.com/Metric-Stainless-Hex-Rod-Coupler-Nut_c_807.html

Those blind nuts are a genius idea especially if you are trying to secure foam board. It would definitely keep them from shifting around.

It does, but it does not cut the outside sounds noise as much as i had anticipated. Just went out to check on the stove, temps at 56, set for 60. once it levels off and everything is at temp i will be curious to see how much fuel i go through to maintain that temperature.

I should say it is "Thermostat Ready" i added a normal household thermostat to the pellet stove as it had provisions for one.

My model has a thermostat on it, i ran a temp wire to the middle of the shop. its on the floor for now until someplace permanent is found for it. My specific control board has 2 thermostat modes. 1 it will run and shutdown when at temp and restart when needed. the second is a high low, where its...

All good questions Dwysywd - I work from home primarily in my basement (software implementation and programming, yup stereotypical nerd dwelling) so i dont feel closed in by it. But i do have plans to put windows in. I have 2 5x10 windows that were in 3 sections each. I disassembled the...
