I haven't put a tape on the height yet but I'd venture to guess 6'6" or more. I'm 5'10" and can easily stand up inside with plenty of room to spare.

Don't mind me, just dropping in for an update. No progress has really been made on the shop. I've been working in the shop rather than on it. Fixed a blown brake line, RF bearing hub and sway bar links on my 1/2 ton Dodge work truck and snapped the bolts off the sway bar brackets that go into...

I lost track around $45k and no longer care to know.

Just an observation, but those look to be the same enclosure as the Alphalite 110w fixtures I have only with different electronics.

We used to get them at the US Nats in Indy. We were given permission by a track worker which was followed up by a security officer telling us to put them back. We ultimately came home with a few dozen of them.

I'd be concerned with how much weight they'll hold. To increase my trust in them, the posts would be lapped with the front rails to help distribute the shelf load to the lumber instead of it all riding on the screws through the posts. Still haven't decided if this type of shelf is what I'm...

The stoppers that are falling out appear to be the solid foam type? Also looks like they were attached with caulking or some other type of adhesive? Usually the closure strips are vented when used in that scenario or else your ridge vent can’t vent properly. We rolled out the cobra style...

It's been a month since an update so here we go. We had a nice party for my son turning 2 yesterday and I'm extremely pleased to say that it never got above 72 in the shop with nearly 40 people in here. With the ceiling fans running all out, keeping the doors shut and running a dehumidifier at...

Changed the 16 plugs in the wife's Durango. Really easy to get to though.

$41 later and my mower tire has a new tube in it. That teaches me a lesson in being prepared I guess eh? So a lot of the stuff I'm getting has sat outside for years. The buzzsaws have been sitting for 40+ years. My dad recalls cutting firewood as a young man with these and all the trouble...

Thanks guys, I got the new pto clutch in and proceeded to find a screw in my left drive tire and flattened the tube. I can’t help but just laugh at my luck now. Fertilized my grass I seeded in front of the shop and found 4 oaks that got planted when I tilled up my topsoil pile. Apparently...

Long day and after 3 trips to the hardware I now have water to the shop. :bounce: Then I went to mow with my Craigslist find of a zero turn and 10 minutes in I hear some nasty noise and the blades stop spinning and sparks are shooting out from the PTO cover. It had a new PTO installed with...

Yep I loved mowing with the 3 points, especially at 72” wide. But I knocked 20 minutes off of my mowing time with this mower and that was only the first go around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After all of the dirt work I've done (still have a bunch to go) and the fact that we've added over 20 trees to our yard recently, I've decided to sell my 3-point mowers for my 7000+ pound tractor and get a zero turn. I found this gem of a John Deere M655 ZTrak about an hour and a half away...

I believe your definition of "properly" differs from mine. I built a 48x64 with 14' walls, with 20 of these LED fixtures that are 14,410 lumens each. That's over 288,000 lumens. Check out this link to see pics. I believe you would be disappointed with 100,000 lumens in your shop. ETA...

A little update. All of the interior walls have been insulated and covered with steel, minus the walls of the 16x24 room. Over the garage doors I'll be using white aluminum flashing since the garage door tracks don't provide enough door clearance for the depth of the siding. Then I'll be...

I put in a 3-phase 36” exhaust fan from J&D that’s rated at 10,000cfm and will be running it with a single-phase to three-phase VFD to handle speed and direction control. I won’t “need” that much, but the hassle of adding a second fan in the future if a smaller one wasn’t enough isn’t worth...

Getting time to start expanding garden beds and to make my 1-hr round trip to get free wood chips more worthwhile, I doubled the depth of the bed on my dump trailer. We do no-till gardening in a bed of wood chips, Back to Eden style. Back to working on the shop... Untitled

Here are the jigs for the finger joints. Untitled I hauled 13.5 tons of #6 limestone for up close to the building. The slag I get from work will react chemically with concrete and break it up over time so it's limestone for the close up work. $17.25 a ton! Crazy! Also sat my precast pad...

Thank you. No dovetail jigs, just homemade jigs used to make finger joints. I have a jig for each size made from a scrap of wood and a piece cut to the same width as my finger joints. I’ll snap a few pics tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
