I just poured some concrete a week ago... Two days later it was around 10 deg. They add calcium out here to help during the winter. I would do a smooth finish for ease of cleaning.

Well I just part a cheap tarp and rolled up some 1x1 strips of cedar in it we will see how that works. $300 bucks for something that my pickup would fit on seems really high when I got a tarp for $30.

I need to get something to control the snow melting off our vehicles in the garage. What do you all use/suggest? Thanks Brandon

I have some woodworking tools from Grizzly. I think for the price its hard to beat. For my home woodshop, its much easier to justify Grizzly over Powermatic stuff and for what I do I don't see the benefit of the more expensive tool

I have just bought tools for specific projects that came up on vehicles and around the house. I always felt I would rather pay for tools than pay someone else to do it. After 3 homes and years of working on them, i have collected a nice set of tools

My barn is 24' across. I was thinking about adding a small loft area for misc. storage between the roof truss spans which are 8' across. My thought is to tie a beam across the posts and build it like a deck. I could do this at about 8' or 9' off the ground and still have plenty of head room. I...

I do mean overhead lifts sorry for not being clear. I was wondering if anyone has mounted a jib type crane to the posts

Have any of you had hoists mounted in your pole buildings if so how did you do this. I am open to anything I was just thinking it may be nice to have some kind of hoist in the barn for light lifting. Curious to see what some of you have done.

Well after three years of waiting I will finally have a place to put all my junk. I left from work yesterday and that was here was a truck with a building stacked on it and when I got home the crew had all the poles in the ground. Very exciting stuff I tell you. The building will be 24' x 40'...

Thanks for the info. This will be used 90 percent of the time for vehicles and storage only a small portion of the time will I work in there. I have a shop already. I will just keep a welder and powerwasher out there for the cars so I am not planning on getting crazy with in floor heat and such...

I am looking at pictures now. Looks like you can use rebar as long as it's half inch? Might do that anyway I am sure it wont hurt anything.

Colorado. What does that look like

I have a few questions for you experts. I am putting in a pole barn on my property it will be used for storage for now but I would like to make sure I have covered my bases when it comes to electrical to be installed at a later date. Probably 100A or 125A. 1. I have a 2" schd 80 pvc elec. (90...

Anyone heard of Tuff Manufacturing from Glendale AZ. I cant find much on a google search. I am looking at a heated pressure washer that the owner stated was made from them... I am just looking for some info on it.

Does it freeze where you live?

Are you sure its water? Any chance it could have been for an infloor heat? Where do you turn on the water for this if your sure its water?

Falcon, I think what your describing is building basically a sleeve in the top that would allow the wall to move up and down? Is that accurate? I have thought about that but using 2x4s. I like your idea better with the ply would be better looking for sure.

Little D, Im just concerned that the ceiling being trusses were not designed for the weight down on them? I was hoping to carry the load via the concrete floor.

MTNFRAMER, Can you buy those at your local box store? That might be the easiest way. Thanks B

Ok, Heres the problem. I live in Colorado in an area with expansive soils. My garage is a oversized 3 car. What I would like to do is put a wall/partition up in the last bay. I want to be able to put a little weight on the wall for storage. I feel that I need to have the wall floating in case...
