    35x35 metal shop build

    I live in a neighborhood with a Home Owners Association (HOA). Requirements for separate buildings are to have at least a Wayne's coat around building sides that are visible from the street. Since I occupy a perimeter lot, only three of the sides require brick. This is in comparison to the...

    35x35 metal shop build

    Over a year now, I came home one day after work to find my back yard flooded. Turns out a water connection under my foundation came apart. Never thought about it during build, but made me realize I did not have a in line valve to shut off water. Since the water source comes from my sprinkler...

    Let's see your Shop Clock

    Up through the late 80's or so, had Abdow's Big Boy in Western Mass. Enjoyed their Double Decker Burger & Strawberry Pie.

    35x35 metal shop build

    Thus far, I have utilized the setup as recommended by Lowes employee and just installed on tubing as is. Not optimal as the brass 2 way hose connector sits just under the upper top lip of the sink, so it is difficult to get my hands in there. Currently, I utilize the connectors valves as a...

    60" ceiling fan

    Received call yesterday from the manager at a local HD that has 7 in stock at the retail price. He mentioned receiving my request from HD corporate office and said he will honor the lower price. I went there tonight, loaded 4 of them in my cart, went to the register and asked for the manager...

    which 2 post lift is best bang for the buck?

    Earlier this year I got a Direct Lift Pro 9D 2 post 4 point life. To date, I've had had no problems with my occasional use. http://www.directlift.com/ Prior to purchase went to local hot rod shop and this brand is all they had, probably 20 in all. Not that it means anything but I did notice...

    60" ceiling fan

    Charles, yesterday I did a search for "ceiling fans" on this board and saw this forum. After reading I became interested in the HD 60" fan as an alternate to these big drum fans I have to cool my shop as the drum fans are too darn noisy and with them non oscullating, only provide relief in...

    Beginning to install a sink in the shop, so I'm looking for anyone's thoughts, especially with the array of connections that seem to be needed. Here is my set up in the corner of the shop: I have a 1 1/4" drain pipe and a 1" water source pipe. I want to be able to have a faucet but also...

    I hope that everything works out for you, especially considering it is related to your work, and that when it is all taken care of, it serves you as initially intended.

    35x35 metal shop build

    sundevil64: Shop was built by Jasco Services (http://jascoservices.com/index.html). Probably should call to see how far they extend beyond the DFW area. Perhaps they can recommend a builder to look into if they don't venture to Austin. Regarding the floor, I'm not exactly sure of the...

    Yup, cost was for everything including all concrete. When we began to get estimates, the long driveway was my concern. Ultimately, its width was shorted from 12' to 10'.

    35x35 metal shop build

    Couple of reasons for the side entrance. Mainly, our HOA only allows the equivalent of a one car garage door facing the street. Attached to the house, we already have a 3 car garage facing east and a 1 car garage facing the street (north). When we built the house, its orientation was not by...

    Mac & all, Thanks for the compliments. Regarding concrete cost, I really don't know :dunno: as the price was all inclusive. Whatever the final cost on the concrete, I believe I got my $ worth as more was brought in then originally planned. My builder did not like how the initial layout in...

    35x35 metal shop build

    Thanks for your compliments. Took till the end of June, so about two months. Although we did have some periods of wet weather that introduced delays, our builder did feel that it took a bit longer than originally expected. Regarding the Wayne’s coat, I believe you ultimately answered your own...

    Excellent observation as that was exactly the intent, some wooden rocking chairs similar to the type from Cracker Barrel. In the afternoon, we have shade to just sit outside and look upon the neighborhood. Was a bit highter than originally thought, but I'll take the greater ceiling height...
