I install Ubiquiti solutions at least once a week. That being said, where possible, we still run cable....buried, aerial or fiber...its still considered the most dependable option. But we have many clients with parts of their facility or operations depending on either a bridge or a WiFi...

Even though we are in the "mild" south, we heat with our wood-burning insert since 2008. I have split a lot of rounds, and even though I bought a hydraulic log splitter a few years ago, I still swing a maul a lot. The best has always been my father's Craftsman 8lb with a fiberglass "straight...

Very recent convert to GRK, repairing the old board fence on the family farm. Adult sons not interested in outdoor/farm/physical labor work or 20 minute trip to help, so had to figure out how to simplify the work so I could do it alone. Saw them at one of the big box stores, and liked how they...

Glad to have found this thread, as after 20 years of trying to either make the 2-car attached usable, or build a separate shop, and failing, our stimulus checks have been decreed to be used for a metal carport to at least give me some place to work on our vehicles and tractor out of the sun and...

From their Facebook page, these guys are doing recent work and taking pictures...https://www.facebook.com/Yarboroughs.construction

We don't have a lot of reasonably priced builders in SC, that I have been able to find. Years ago, my father had a large horse barn built by Hoover buildings, and I have talked to them 3-4 times over the years about a shop, but no matter the design, I felt we rapidly climbed into stick-built...

I do have a TSC nearby, and I think one of the Big Box chains does pole buildings through their "pro desk" too....but I would prefer to deal directly with the builder.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I am going to start calling for quotes after the holiday weekend. The wife will receive the bulk of the attached 2 car garage since one entire bay is my tools, the rest is misc storage and her glass bead stuff (torch, kiln, work bench, etc). She already has a...

Awesome garage build....I too, would like to build with a lift in mind. I have projects literally rusting away because life keeps happening, and I get so blasted frustrated having to put everything up to button up for the night, and with the time change this weekend, my chance to wrench a bit...

I have been lurking for a few years, with a misshapen attached 2-car 24x18 basically holding my tools and keeping parts dry, and serving as the house dumping ground. My wife, after watching me "shade-tree mechanic" in the rain late into the evening in the driveway (again!!) on my daily driver...

I have had better luck using a small local hardware store for most things like that, but every now and then I have to stop at Fastenal as well. Yeah, their prices can hurt.

Well, one of the locked doors got opened tonight....you are right on the 1950's. I managed to find out that these came from an old warehouse in SC, but no one knows exactly where. After getting over the shock of actually finding something in the cabinets, and studying the contents and dates...

I was TRYING to get a cheap solution barely above a tarp suspended on baling twine run from the trees. 8 weeks and lots of phone calls, plus two more tarps gave their lives to protect the camper and tractor I was trying to shelter with the cheap (on purpose) solution. I gave up and canceled...

And I have to ask the question as former CJ owner, and now a XJ owner....who made the front shackles?

I took a middle-route...I was working overseas at the time, but needed storage in a hurry during an R&R. The wife took a LOT of pictures of a economy kit 10x12 from Lowes, I studied the pictures and made a materials list that got ordered with the kit, and delivered with the kit. Spent two...

Managed to pick up 6 waist-high cabinets from roughly the '50's with this name plate from a seasonal consignment store, for about $20 each. Has anyone heard of the name? They are much stouter than any new stuff, and I have not figured how I will use them in my garage yet. The tall cabinets...

Very true....I have a good bit of scrap steel, and a new plasma cutter I need to play with....I am dealing with 1/2 ton stuff now, but my old K20 will need attention one of these days, so a stouter design maybe the ticket... These are great ideas, guys, thank you!

That is not bad....I already have a couple of the small movers dollies, some 3/4 plywood and scrap pieces to "locate" the jack stands on the plywood may do the trick...

Looks very good. I was looking at doing the hitch receiver idea for my bench, vise and grinder, but this is a slick idea.

I have to rebuild a Dana 30, and a Chrysler 8.25 this fall, and maybe a 8.8 axle in the coming year. I am now "seasoned" enough that a set of jack stands is not going to be enough, and my back likes to be straight these days. I have basic metalworking and basic woodworking tools in my garage...
