I really like mine. What color did you end up with? I feel like I already asked you that. DejaVu.

nice
Where did y’all order them from?
I need to insulate the south wall on the shop and do something for tools/storage of what knots, I just don’t know what I want to do, but I want it to be functional, not a display/museum

Just the galvanized boards with blue hooks.

I ordered mine from Amazon. But you can get them through Home Depot and pick up at your store. That's what I was gonna do with my gift cards from Christmas but they ended up getting used for other stuff. HD doesnt have the full line on their website though.

If you have limited space, I thought this was a nice set up.
Hanging drain pans and funnels, this is a function idea, drips into central location.
I struggle with keeping drain pans clean and empty and I often prop them to drain in the lift oil can, but it’s never stable. I hate leaving drain pans with small amounts of oil that takes for ever to drain or come back 2 weeks later full of bugs and dust bunnies.

We are having a fence installed around our back yard. The "sod line" from the builder was not even close to the actual property line. We ended up taking like 6-10 feet of what was perceived as the neighbors property. I was concerned that they would be pissed, so we checked the survey before construction of the fence began. The measurements from the house to the property line matched between the survey and the 4 corner stakes.
Neighbors weren't overly thrilled, but it is what it is.

I gave up and just built a couple "oil containment shelfs" in one of the corners of my shed above my snowblower. It holds all my funnels, grease guns, chain saws, gas, oil, etc. Between all the drips from pans over 15 years and my leaky bar chain oil resi in my 18" saw I know that corner will never rot

Well I can’t exactly do that out in the shop, but I plan on making something similar to that one above, it’s a damn good idea!

Same thing happened to me. I had 3 reps from the builder come out to confirm the property lines because the survey wasn’t real clear. The all 3 told me which line to build my fence to. Now my fence goes about 8-10 foot into my neighbors yard. Luckily they don’t mind. A new guy from the builder told me I needed to move it, and I let him know they are welcome to move it and pay for it. I have record of their people telling me where to build to.

Yes. It's actually outside of the community guidelines, so we had to get an HOA exception. I don't think they fully realize what they approved, but we received a letter stating that it was approved as submitted
. So we built exactly what we submitted.Since we always viewed the sod line as the property line, I felt bad with how much property we reclaimed. One neighbors sprinklers are on our property. I figured it would be a pain in the ass for them to move the sprinkler line, so I just had the fence people come in more on our property. I'm at least 12, if not 24, inches inside my property line. They should be finished today.

Just make sure in your state, the new fence does not move your boundary line after your neighbor stakes claim to that portion of property over X number of years.

I made sure I was onsite with the survey crew when they did it before I bought. One of the few times where my work knowledge paid off on a personal level.
Survey crew put a marker right in the middle of my neighbors stone driveway. They triple checked it off the master survey monument in the court and it's right. I pulled the stake as soon as they set it so my neighbor didn't get a flat tire from the spike. One day if I ever redo my old ass concrete driveway and move my fence where I want it he's going to get a wake up call.

Not sure I fully understand. If I'm 12-24" inside the property line, what can they claim? The portion on the outside of the fence?
Taco Loco

Yes the portion outside the fence

What you’re saying is, the corner if my fence that is about 8’ into the neighbors yard is now mine?
Exactly - I know Tx state law does allow for a fence to move property lines after time. I saw this when a friend of mine went to sell his property and his neighbors laid claim to an easement he had allowed across a corner of his property. They had cut a corner to allow for a truck to drive from property-to-property and fenced it off from my friend's property. The verbal agreement that granted access ended up costing him a small part of his property once he allowed them to seperate it from his property with a fence.
