Tommy, I found this post via the goog and figured since I was a member here I'd ask a few questions if you don't mind... Are you overall happy with the Perka building? Did you purchase just the steel or all the materials from them? Rough idea on cost for the 40x40 you purchased? Were the...

You just need to run the a/c enough to keep the humidity down. I'd set it at 83-84 in the summer and a little less in the winter. You can turn it down when you work. As an fyi...I'm south of you. I work in a shop without a/c. I live alone. I keep my house set at 80 because that is comfortable...

As an FYI, my brother and I took the brutal route when we roofed the parents house in steel. Cheap carbide blades from HF in a circular saw. We just made sure no cut edges were exposed or they were hit with touch up paint(came with the materials). Hearing/eye/hand protection is mandatory when...

Joe, Dean Buildings is across the state in Ft. Myers. They might be able to give you a rough idea on costs. Chris

I've had the Matco SAE flare nut wrenches for 30 years and they work great. I just need to splurge on a good set of metrics from someone.... Chris

Shea, Dumb question....Next month I'm having someone remove the tile from my house. They are going to make the floor good enough/smooth enough to live with until I pick a covering. If I went with just a clear polyurea for the industrial look, how would you address minor cracks and the expansion...

Ah...O.K. I'm a single guy who was working second shift at the time so I pretty much spent ~30-40+ hours a week on it. As an fyi....tell your friend these cars are evil with a 90" wheebase, straight axle rear and high horsepower. I'm hoping he picked the IRS. It'll calm the car down a...

2 Years ? Seriously ? Including the time spent on paint(by me) I built my Unique in ~6 weeks. I had built the engine and trans assembly the week before I picked the kit up.... Chris

Holy **** !!!!! Thanks guys !!!! I'd have never thought of using the boxes that way. I'm stopping at the HD after work today and grabbing a few to work out sizing and configuration....

I've mentioned this before.....I helped build my brothers shop/garage in Ohio and we used pole building construction and then sided it so the shop matched the house. He did that for the WAF. The roof was standard 2' on center trusses and then sheathed and shingled so it also matched the house...

Yep. I generally buy Dewalt and keep a couple of extras in my box. Some day I'll move to an actual 1/4 and 3/8 impact....

That looks friggin great !!!! A lot of my neighbors places are like yours....house on a decent grade but the detached garage was skimped fill wise to save a buck. For the not Florida people....this is really common here... Chris

As an FYI....the old building I was in had that exact compressor wired to a 30 amp breaker(not a typo). After ~8 years of use it started popping the breaker on start up. We moved to new location and then the compressor was wired to a 40 and worked fine until I transferred again. I love how...

I just picked one up last Wednesday with the special coupon that was sent to my email for 15% off. I like it. I still need to run my Mustang up on a 2x8 because it's so low, but it'll fit right under the Cobra no problem. I donated my three ton that was fine to a deserving neighbor just to get...

+1 I have a shallow and deep 1/2" drive standard set that I've been using for over 20 years. The 7/8" is looking a little worn from all the lug nuts I've used it on but I haven't ever broken a socket. I will say now that most of my fleet it metric/torx they don't get used nearly as much...

I bought the red version a couple of years ago. I have used it to swap a couple of manual transmissions while the vehicle is on jack stands. Like tarbellb said....the mounting system is about worthless for anything that isn't flat on the bottom. I just took a couple of pieces of scrap metal...

I'll back these guys up....I just used mine the other day to knock out some caliper slide pins that I couldn't get to budge with a punch and hammer. Run that ***** at 150psi and it'll rattle your teeth out.... Chris ETA......I tossed the spring retainer and upgraded to the locking collar style.

Tunajoe.... Could you give me a rough idea on what just the mounting system cost? What is it composed of? I talked with a retailer and he said he would draw up the plans for me. The county said I can do the entire install except the panel tie in. My goal would be to generate enough to zero...

Natural Gas......1K BTU/Cubic Foot 100K Per Therm Propane...........2.5K BTU/Cubic Foot 92K BTU/Gallon Look at some NG bills and figure how many Therms you used in the cold months with your first building.. You should be able to work from that to get an idea of how much propane you will...
