    I started late last summer. Weather changed and it will sit for a couple of months. then I should finish . I still have a place on the coast. Eventually will have 2 floors and wings like a monitor style, as time and money allows.

    Guitar processor noise...? BZZZZZZ!

    Single coil pickups hum . Hence humbuckers . So bad grounds will amplify the prob. Check the cords too though. Bad cords will make noise but still work.

    Prefab steel buildings

    So not all steel kits are apples to apples. Like mine actually have engineered trusses. I know others do , but not all. Some just use a bender and use the metal to roll over it without purlins. Those are not very good. Just because you save money upfront does not mean you save money ! Please do...

    Prefab steel buildings

    I did not go through and read many posts. However I have plenty of experience in steel pre fabbed buildings. I used to make and sell them. I still do once in awhile. Snow load is important. Also make sure the metal ribs on the roof go vertical and not horizontal.

    How to lift drywall for ceiling up onto a scaffold?

    Not without an extra extension. I started doing drywall in 89. I hate it but still do it some. It is faster to hang without a lift, but lifts help with sparing your body. Twayne discribed the correct way . It's called a pass up. Scissor lifts work , but suck ! I have done it pretty much anyway...
