    I think you left some oil in there. For that remark, consider it confiscated.

    pretty sure anything you "leave", in the posession of a kopecki, of any sort of value is automatically considered confiscated.

    saw it was moved the other day. did you sell the trailer?

    I sold the trailer about 1.5 years ago. Some little hot girl's dad bought it for her and her sister. I don't think she wanted to move out of callaway house.

    Was the trailer moved? I moved the shed before I sold the house.

    I did in fact have one, I lived in Beaumont for 3 years with no garage. I bought an 8X10 from lowes or home depot, I think it was called the Piedmont Edition or some crap.

    The free floor frame is worthless.... I made a frame out of treated 4x4's and plywood. The floor cost $80, the building was $196, pre tax. Worked good, did not leak. It took me a weekend to construct.

    Like Jerry mentioned the doors kind of suck, they have no wheels and just slide.

    Other than that, they are in my opinion the cheapest storage in that price range, you can fit 4 to 5 motorcycles, a lawn mower, and an LT1 in there.

    Did you have to erect it?

    yeah, its a little tight but you can, pulling axle shafts can be a pain. I did plenty of work in my 10x20 storage unit.

    invest in lots of shelving to store stuff vertically and stay organized

    no, not if you plan on using the garage for anything else...ie, storing tools and all other household garage type stuff

    My current set up is about 19' x 12', it's got some nice cubby hole type deals though that are an extra ~120 sqft for storing tools and whatnot. It works out fine.

    New place still only has a 1 car, a litle bit bigger but no nooks, so shelves from the ceiling are a must.

    There's a place here selling 18' wide x 20' deep two car metal garages for $3,100 installed.

    I was looking at that garage that the guy built in the suburbs. I can't even imagine the **** storm my neighbors would start if they saw me dig a hole like that. Holy hell! Pretty sweet though.

    Have we covered shop electric?
    This one has an FPE box and no garage, so while I get the electric updated I might as well make sure I have enough dedicated juice for a decent shop. Should I just put in an extra master breaker and give the garage (detached) it's own panel? How many amps total should I make sure I can send over there? Do I have to separate it into 220 and 110 at this point or is that done at the garage subpanel?

    Here's where it's going, leaving that little slab to work on until ready to build, then it becomes a carport slab. The garage will be a 1++ taking up the rest of the back of the lot, with the roof basically covering the whole width of the lot, creating the carport. How long is a c/c longbed truck? Thinking it should be 8' longer than that (2' for shelves/storage up front and 3' for working/moving around) and as wide as possible while still leaving enough room to park under the carport and open the doors

    I would recomend running a subpanel with it's own main breaker (check the code, I bet it states that for an unattached building anyways). It should have two 110 legs running to it and two of those together will give you your 220.

Also, if he would use a decent drier he wouldn't even need to drain the system other than his tank. If you were going to be painting, or even running air tools, the cleaner and dryer the air, the better off you will be.

    sure, it's a bit of an investment, but it's nice when you don't have to worry about contamination or moisture tearing up your tools or ruining a paint job.
    Link is broke, here is one that should work.
