    GC your own home build?

    For what its worth. Id look for a builder that has all/most of the the trades involved under one roof./ in his shop. Your GC will take take a bid from a sub and add 10-15%, just for the honor and privilege of making a few phone calls and standing around with their hands in pockets during the...

    Please critique my garage plans

    Looks good, but I would go to 24' wide. Why well you will always put stuff in that space between the garage door opening and the wall. first it will be just some windshield washer fluid and then it grows, then comes a shelf and in short order you cant get the car door open. Also it your working...

    turn this into personal auto shop?

    I would be worried about a wind load. As you enclose it there is more surface area, hence more force trying to push the building over. Setting more 6 x 6 posts on the ends and framing will give you more strength. Its a doable project for sure, and like my divorce lawyer once told me: "Its only...

    Any clever methods of salvaging spray paint?

    This is all the wrong answer for your post, but I used to lo like throwing a couple of cans in a big bonfire. some would blow, some would spew flame, other wimpy ones would just pop. not a useable solution but just fun. Oh I'll spare you all the cautions, since I know your a bunch of intelligent...

    I finally get the shop I have wanted for too long

    WOW Really beautiful! So what under the planks? ie whats the construction? The black really sets off the entire room. For me I would hate to scar the wood by hanging a picture up there! Bobmo

    Vehicle Lifts: 2-post, 4-post, etc

    This is a pic of the minimum stack of adjuster that I needed to lift an F350. As you can see the frame sweeps up towards the rear axle and the front lift point has hindered by the step. The arms could not extend to where it was recommended to lift. I only lifted 1 1/2" and a safety shake of the...

    Vehicle Lifts: 2-post, 4-post, etc

    Good Plan I had a Forward 10K lift installed in my New pole barn in 2017. Every time I'm in the barn I give it a hug. No more stones in my back and lost nuts in the dirt. Creeper hangs on the wall in retirement! The Lift has performed well and was easy to buy from NAPA. It was installed by...

    I need to lengthen all my wires, advice please

    I worked in the international marine ferry industry for years and WAGO is the standard. Very good product, but not cheap for home use. Bobmo

    Do you know about NPT threads?

    The tap is making the hole 'bigger' so your male part can go deeper. Try to stay on topic here. By using the die you are just adding more full threads at the top of the taper thats are above the engagement. whereas the tap is carving away metal at the opening so that more of the taper will go...

    Do you know about NPT threads?

    https://www.oasisngv.com/vdb/document/1179 every thing you ever wanted to know. Bobmo USE TEFLON TAPE, and only a couple of wraps. The good news is that if the fitting leaks you can tighten it a little more and it will stop Bobmo

    Just another barn thread

    good luck trying to keep the temperature controlled with those sliding doors! I have them on both ends of my pole barn and they are horrible. Look at roll up. If you have a good way to sea them up please let me know! Bobmo

    Pole barn interiors

    Exact why you use the inside face of the 6 x 6's as the face of the interior wall. makes it much easier to add extra outlets in the future too. Bobmo

    Pole barn interiors

    Looks good so far. As far as the interior goes I would do T-111 plywood instead of sheet rock. 1 its lighter 2 no joints to prep, no nails to mud, no sanding and NO DUST 3. when wrenches and hammers go flying, the plywood will survive longer too. 4 you can stain versus painting. much easier in...

    Floor drains in workshop?

    If you gong to put the drains by the door, why not skip that step and slope the floor towards the door. Then just push the water back out side to the environment where mother nature can take care of it as she always does. Bobmo

    Quick electrical question 220

    I dont know the law in Ohio, But if it was my house, I'd remove the wires from the fuse panel, and either pull the wire out of the panel, or tape the ends, and on the far end just coil the wire and tape it. If you have the time, I'd cut the whole thing out. It looks like a fire waiting to...
