I am afraid of Hercules, Ryobi and similar brands. I am not a full time mechanic but a retired farmer but I use my tools everyday. I have Milwaukee and DeWalt. My Milwaukee stuff is mechanic tools and outdoor tools (chainsaw, hedge trimmer, etc). I have DeWalt for the woodworking tools- routers...

Hard to figure how long it would take to pay for the ceiling and supports in the utility bills.

Currently the barn has triple doors on each end so I could load and unload hay from either end. Those will be removed and I will have three 12' wide insulated garage doors on the side- basically a bay between the posts in each section. There is no venting in the barn. I could use the tin from...

Still planning on converting my 37x 63 hay barn into a shop. My plan is too make one section (18' wide x 37') have a 14' walls for a motorhome. Then I would like to step it down to 12' for the other 47'x 37" section. This area will be my tools, shop area and have a 2 post lift. I am thinking of...

Would be handy to carry in the gooseneck equipment trailer as well.

I tried it on my 32' gooseneck trailer. 12 ton HF jack and Bostich pancake compressor. I did have to let it fully charge first but worked ok. Thanks

Anybody know if a HF 12 ton air/hyd jack will run off a 4cfm air compressor? Thinking about carrying this compressor and the 12 ton jack in the motorhome. It doesn't have to be fast as long as it works...

Looking for a parts washer that I can use solvent in- not water based. Not gonna use it very often- mainly bearings and carbs so I don't need an expensive one. Any suggestions? Thanks

This is for anybody in Texas with Oncor. If you have a shop at your house with a separate meter what type of rate do you have? Is is residential service or something else?

Have Culligan give you a free estimate. Then use their data. As far as iron, between my softener and the Iron Out powder that I add mine does very good

Looking to build a new shop and install a 2 post lift. Most call for 144-145" height. I only want 10' or 12' side walls. Has anybody basically put a raised ceiling section above the lift and had the rest of the ceiling lower? I don't want 14' walls. That's way too much too heat and cool. Maybe...

The problem with the minis, even those rated for -15 below is that the colder it gets capacity goes way down. So it has to run forever to produce the same amount of heat. Between that and all of the defrost cycles COP is now about as low as just running a regular elec heat strip

I guess it depends upon how you define hot or cold. For me if it feels cool then that's too cold for a heat source. As I said I am used to propane heat and a wood stove. Propane furnaces blow around 140 degrees.

I live in north Texas. I put a Pioneer 24k in my shop. I previously had a wood stove, 50k btu hanging shop heater (propane) and a 2 1/4 ton window unit. (propane heater is still there). I typically leave the shop at 60 during the winter and heat it up before going out there. During the summer...

Not sure. Might just wall it off and hook the RV to propane.

I am converting the hay barn into a shop. RV can either be in conditioned or unconditioned space

north of Dallas TX. Gets hot!!!

I have a 60x40' hay barn with 14' sidewalls. I am thinking of converting it to a shop. I would concrete 2/3's of the floor and on one side just leave the gravel. The motorhome and truck would park there. My questions relate to heating and cooling. With a 5/12 pitch the attic space is huge, lots...

Old post but just now found this again. My buildings long side (35') faces the west. Once the sun comes down in the west below the roof and hits that wall it ridiculous how hot on that wall
