    Designing my new 96x60 floor plan

    When using that style bracket make sure to add diagonal bracing to your walls. What are you doing for footings under your poles?

    Post Frame GARAGE/LOFT Propane Heat?

    For every gallon of propane you burn as a by product the heater puts out a gallon of water. So a ventless heater puts all that water vapor into the air. Causing rust and mold.

    Mov'n to the country. What size shop should I build?

    30' don't leave much room if you put benches or shelving along the walls. I think 32' or 34' is the sweet spot. I have a 30x48 and my dad has a 30x30. I would of went wider but I bought a used building so not much I could do. I think in today's prices 50k is going to be pretty tight unless you...

    Ceiling Anchors

    I would poke a hole in the ceiling and through bolt your 2x to the ceiling/floor joists. Those angle brackets aren't designed to be structural. Also need to know what the joists are made out of. If they are the I-beam type, they are not meant for any more load than drywall on the bottom of them.

    Split A/C doesn't blow cold (but condenser works)---help!

    There should not be condensation dripping outside. That should be dripping inside. Is it a heatpump and stuck in reverse flow for heating?

    Carriage door proportions

    I think for a 12' wide door you'd want to go with bi-fold carriage doors. I like the looks of them but don't think I'd like to use them regularly.

    Pouring concrete lintel in place.

    I don't know why you couldn't split the core fill up. But I wouldn't want any cold joints in any of the cores. I'd make sure you fill what ever core you're filling all the way up. I'd do the lintel in one continuous pour, no cold joints in that.

    Riding mower wiring help needed

    To me sounds like bad/dirty connection or bad battery. Leaning towards bad connection. You're loosing a tenth of a volt without a load. When you turn the key on you put a minimum amount of load on it and are dropping to 7 volts. I'm sure it drops even more when you try to start it. Check the...

    2 post lift problems

    You said the check valve was bad. If there is a check valve in line how is the oil going to drain back? Are you sure what you replaced was a check valve?

    Door opener for super low headroom?

    You can use a side mounted trolley opener on torsion springs but generally a door with extention springs will bind when being pulled from the side.

    Roofers- need some quick steel roof advice

    The foam strips are to keep bugs and other creatures out of your building if you use pulling without sheeting. Since you used sheeting all the foam strips are going to do is keep water unde the roof if you get any there. I'm no roofer but I think you wouldn't use them if you sheet the roof. I...

    Hein Werner AL-25-1 end jack(bumper lift) hydraulic dampener rebuild

    I know nothing about that jack or hydraulic dampers. 30wt oil seams awful thick to me. Are you sure they didn't mean something like aw-32 or some other hydraulic oil?

    Garage Door Repair?

    It's a stress crack from someone hitting your door with something. It's dented and the panel below it is scratched. If it's been that way for a year It's probably not going to get any worse very quickly.

    PEX Air Line Fittings

    I think what he wants is a drop ear fitting but he wants one the is a 45° instead of the standard 90°. A 90 puts lots of stress on the hose and fitting. A 45 is a lot better for both hose and fitting.

    Leaking windows / doors - flashing installed incorrectly?

    That's a typical pole barn window install. If you want a water tight pole barn don't put any holes in it. If you put flashing around the window where is the water going to go? It's still going inside because you don't have the plywood and house rap on a pole barn to direct the water to the...

    Calling all Worldwide Steel, Miracle Truss, or other Open Web Truss owners!

    I just put up a used 30x48x10. Haven't finished the inside yet. For the cross bracing I'm planning to put the liner panel on the ceiling then a short angle iron bracket and bend the cross bracing down slightly to bolt them together. I'll do the same on the walls but use plywood or something else...

    You need to match the kind of foundation the garage has. You need a footing for the blocks to sit on.
