I live in Michigan and put in a 40' Re-verber-Ray 100k 2stage unit and love it. I have a 36x48 shop and I mounted it along the back wall at a 45 and its worked out great. I keep the thermostat at 50 but you have to be careful where you put the stat since it cannot really be in the heat "path" or...

I used these too. I love it. Would never have it any other way. I ran them verticaly and need to ose furring strips (2.75x.75) run across the studs. It makes mounting stuff to the walls a pain if you dont plan for it due to the .75 gap between the furring strip and studs. I think its a good...

I went with the regular screw in base with 40watt flouresants (200 watt equivalint) they work great. I have 13 in my 34x48x14 shop and its very bright. I didnt want to deal with the 4 or 8 foot fixtures and all the bulbs. Plus in michigan they take forever to warm up (my little ones take about a...

I'm putting it on my walls now and I was told to use a wood carbide wheel turned backwards in circular saw. It works well but is loud as hell. I'm using a bosch 24v and a regular blade backwards.

I ordered it from ubc in freeland. I have an account there and get a slight discount. I looked around and for my type of panel (liner panel) it runs around $1.78-1.90 a foot. I think I paid $1.76 a foot with free delivery. My panel is called a liner panel because the paint does not have uv...

I'm doing mine like that as we speak. Walls too. I put batt in the walls and when the ceiling is done I will do blown in up there. I do have a room up there to so it will be real easy. I'm in Freeland if you want to check it out before you buy. Also don't buy it from lowes, you can get it from...

My wife and I also have keyfobs for our system. They were only like 25 each or something. Our system was new and set for them but i'm sure they could add them to an existing one. They are nice to have for sure. I can give one to my brother or mom if I need the dog let out and they just need to...

You ever take that thing off any sweet jumps?

I've mentioned using pole barn siding on the inside on here in other posts many times. Always to get it blown off and people suggesting that super expensive fiberglass stuff that needs a osb backer anyway. I thought it was maybe a regional thing because almost every industrial place or auto/fab...

I actually have two! One laptop in the office and one pc in a Lista computer cabinet for the cnc plasma cutter.

For sure! I have some friends out in Reese. What you into with the garage? Trucks , cars, bikes? I have a few Jeeps myself and run a small fab shop out of my shop.

Really! I've lived here all but 4 years of my life (I'm 32). Whats your name? I may know you. I'm Tab Brousseau by the way.

Hey Steve! I'm in Freeland and just built a new house and barn. A 34x48 two story. Welcome. And yah, where you from in mid michigan?

Florida pheumatic builds air tools for a lot of companies. One is the Husky brand at home depot. I was a rep for them a couple years ago and when I met the factory rep (my boss toured the factory) they said they made tools for a dozen or so companies one of which was Snap on (which my boss seen...

Keep in mind that a lot of wire brands are all made by the same manufactures. I have a lincoln 255 and a lincoln 110. I've ran hundreds of pounds of wire through the 255 and have used a bunch of different brands. I've never used the HF stuff but as long as the wire comes rust free and usually in...

Look up David Perry studios. He has some cool shots of all kinds of stuff like that.

Fill us in! My Jack Russell does the same thing when I use air tools or just hook up the airlines. But I can weld, grind, use cnc machine ect without problems. What did he do to fix it. I don't get national geographic channel and would love to know what to do.

I'm lucky enough to have an atached 3 car with a basement and a seperate staircase going into the basement through the garage and one in the house. It is very handy for unloading **** that I don't want to take into the house. But, I also built a 34x48 shop with a 16x48 upstairs for the **** that...

Have a good insurance policy with a rider to cover all tools that are above and beond normal homeowner tools. Also be sure to have reciepts and good documentation like pics or video of all valuables. Other than that use good locks and some common sense. As long as you and your family are safe...

It would probably take years to get enough board to cover a 34x48x14 shop, including the ceiling. Plus I'm not sure how it would look with pieced together and damaged hardi board. Not a bad idea for a smaller barn though.
