I'm in the Ottawa region, QC side. I had to specify, on my permit request, that I wasn't doing a foundation and the permit didn't get rejected. So all good. I can understand stricter rules for a house, but a floating slab in a garage is just fine IMO. I'm gonna put a good layer of stone, and...

Looking for advices about what most people would do: if this is gonna be a floating slab, should I still be digging to the bedrock and fill with compacting sand after? It seems to be the best approach but I don't think I've seen people do that aroud here. There's a corner that is swampy so I...

The shed is completely demolished. I just split the slab in 8. I was expecting this to take the whole evening but it was done in 1h30. I'm gonna reuse those blocks for a retaining wall down from where I need to fill. It's surprising how little wood there is in there. This pile is all the...

This was 4500CAD tax included. That hit me in the face. I didn't think it'd be more than 2k$

Trusses are in. We just need the warm weather now

I'm probably gonna be fine with 8'. This is a 7' door and you can see that it's only a few inches short. And the tractor is raised up a little because of the compacted snow. But I'll see if I can fit a 9' door with those 10ft walls

ok, very good to know. That's gonna change a few things ...

yeah, it's gonna be 10' width, I uploaded the wrong version of the plan. But the height is 8'. I don't think I need to fold the rops with 8'. I'll double check the height of my tractor again

@North Idaho Wolfman : I guess I'm just realizing now that this picture is old. My latest design has a 10ft door. Many familly members gave me that advice. About the corner: Thank you very much, I had no idea. I'll make sure I do that. I placed them that way to save space. So yeah, I'll use...

It has no purpose. Sure, it helps with ice. But I only put it there so it looks less plain. It really changes the look. It's very common around where I live.

haha. I know I can do everything even the concrete floor (with the help of my dad who's in the trade). But soffit is just a PITA. I don't have the patience nor the proper tools. Thanks @top gnome . Yeah, I mostly did that for the looks. It's gonna be a real challenge to do. I am not at all in...

This winter I started planning my new garage build. I currently have a 8x12 shed in my backyard and wanna replace it with a 26x24 garage. I plan on using this to park the tractor and implements (backhoe, snowblower and ciment mixer). I'm planning on using this thread to post my progress until...

Thanks. Good to know. It's to power a 10kw generator hear. I have a #50 chain. The guy that was using the genny before me was using a #40 chain.

Hi, I'm really just starting to learn how to weld and I'd like to know if I'm supposed to be able to weld something like this: https://www.princessauto.com/en/w-series-weld-on-hubs/product/PA1000001384 It says it's 1045 steel. I have a low budget canadian tire flux core welder. Is that gonna...

I see that there is a 50A fuse in my electrical system and the WSM indicates that this is a slow-blow fuse that protects the battery. So if I understand correctly, this means that if I add a 15A circuit hooked up on my starter, then I'll still be protected from an overall draw above 50A right...

FWIW, this was my first welding project. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/yet-another-grill-guard-post.50437/ Turned out pretty good.

Beautiful. I plan on wiring the live on the starter also since it has a nice connection point.

I'll open up the console. I suspect that all grounds lead there and are then connected to the frame since the battery connection is on the frame with no other wires. So if I run a dedicated ground for my new circuit, should I connect it on the frame in the console where all other grounda lead...

@torch : a self resetting circuit breaker? That sounds interesting. Because my motor does work perfectly on the 5A light circuit but the fuses blow once the motor hits the resistance of the end of rotation of the chute. I've temporarily changed the fuse for a 7.5A (I know... Bad. It's just to...

Yeah but like I said, I already used that circuit for my work lights. I think it sucks they only put 5A for the real work lIght circuit. My bx had 10A.
