Barn isn’t insulted so I was going with no insulation for the floor. Do I need a vapor barrier? barn is clear span so no columns. One big floor. So no footers and no rebar is what I’m hearing. I can remove top 2-4 inches of soil so concrete slab surface is just below horizontal wall plates...

I’ve read the guide to concrete floors and have poured a driveway many years ago. I have 2500 square foot horse barn that has been used as a shed for decades. Dirt floor mostly; so lots of dust kicks up. I would lime to turn it into a garage for working on my motorcycles and other projects...

I’ve been looking but without knowing what to look for, I’ve been hesitant when one is found. Can’t tell if they’re complete, damaged, or even useable.

The pan/brake combinations look pretty nice. 24inch looks manageable but limited. 48 looks like a beast but much more useful.

I have room for the HF 36 unit or similar size. Budget about $700. Do these have different names or should I just search for sheetmetal brake

I’ve done the manual bending using hardwood templates and a straight edge but would like to get a machine that can make cleaner bends. For car frame and body repair, do I need a finger brake, bar bender, or plain brake? Will the 3 in 1 units be of any value? I’ve been looking on Craigslist and...

I’ve been making some small pieces of 18-20 gauge sheet metal to repair a rusted out car I am restoring. I’ve been working with small pieces that I was bending by hand. Doesn’t look that great. I would like to get a brake but don’t know what to look for. What kind of brake is recommended...

He wouldn’t move on the price, bottle was 40cf and date was no good. I passed on it and the AC Lincoln, I love the look of it but don’t have the room cut also weighs as much as me. decided to go with a decent inverter DC stick welder. The 120 Hobart MIG does what I need for now. I will keep my...

Nice. Thanks

I’ll look into it

Seems to be the buzz box is loved by some. This one Is AC, is that okay? One person pinged me and said to avoid AC. He owns the tank and date is still good. I’m sure there is room for negotiation now with your input but the Lincoln has my attention. It’s got a classic look

Anyone have thoughts on one of the older 211s, about 10 years Old. Neighbor has one with a 40cf tank, wire and some other bits for $1000. He also has a Lincoln AC 225 stick welder with some Rods for $100. Any thoughts on the machine, what should I look for? I have a Hobart 140 and will need to...

I just bought two 36x48 metal table that I will repurpose for mobile workbenches. One has a 3/4 inch plywood top flush with the edges. I want to use The other for a weld table; hobby level use. Ideally table tops will be flush to each other to have 8 feet work area. Should I drop a 3/8 in...

The garage has a junction box that has wire from the house through a buried 1/2 inch conduit. In the garage, there are two 10/2 sets of wires that connect to a 120 outlet and light switch. I asked electrician to see if he could pull 8/3 using the existing conduit. He opened the junction box and...

Yes. My trench ended up being 65 feet, went at a slight angle to the garage. Depth was kept to 20 inches measured to top of the conduit.

Thanks for the support.

At most washing a car or power washer for the driveway. Right now I have to haul to 50 foot long hoses just to get to the back of the garage. Then another 25 foot one to reach the car. By that point I’m okay with a dirty car. Any electrical upgrade would be years away. Who knows maybe we’ll be...
