Well the weekend was eventful and successfull got the old garage emptied Thursday and lifted and on trailer Friday night. Headed outta town at 645am, trip went almost perfect until the rear beam snapped and back of building fell, we where about 2 miles from destination. Luckily we had the...

I'm still going to have a wood burner but would use the floor heat to keep it around 40 and then light a fire when I want to be working on something

I have been thinking about doing the floor heat, at least running the piping and doing the rest as budget allows iv always wanted it and like you say now is the time to do it. Iv been told the most expensive part is the insulation under it

I should mention that I had to move the new building about 4 blocks to a storage yard but due to tight corners I had to go about a mile around

No he just didn't think we could get all that we did done in 4 days That's exactly what I thought

Well I got my building permits and have decided to go with footings for a couple reasons, much better structurally, better to heat, and lastly im afraid that if I poured a slab the weight of trailer and building would crack the concrete since it will stl be rather green. Our frost code is 42"...

I was orginally going to do a slab for this with a thickened edge but have been giving thought to doing footings. a poured footing 12"x48" is going to be 14yrds of concrete at about $1200, plus the 3 courses of block on top of that bringing me to around $1500. Or I could do a 12"x12" footing...

So I am going to be putting my wood burner back into this garage but I can decide where the best place to put it would be, I know I'm a long ways off from this yet but trying to get the layout right from the start. The options are the back corners or in the middle, what's every ones thoughts...

So should I start with removing one short leaf and the overloads or just the overloads first?

Alright here's my dilemma, my truck started it's life as a k3500 drw cclb I have since converted it to a srw. it still has the 10,000lb springs in the rear and it rides like a lumber wagon. I am wondering if I can just remove a spring from the pack or do I need to just swap them out for 3/4ton...
