Love our LM8500, going on year 3 and having the wifi functionality is awesome. It wasn't something I thought i would use or appreciate as stated early, but man it's great to be able to confirm it's closed and have scheduled closing to ensure security.

And she's up. Next is stone fill, door and then crete.

Thank you. Only took 9 quote revisions to land on the final design lol, with the last change being the added upper windows. I'm hopeful they help, but they are on the N and E sides and there is tree cover. Figured something is better than nothing. Since I'm not firm on water source (from house...

Broke ground yesterday on our multi-use 36x46x16 enclosed with a 10'x46' porch. Green posts, 14x14 overhead door, rear 10x10 sliding door and some windows for natural light. Front 25' will be concrete, along with the porch, the rear will be left dirt for 4H animal stalls. Once it's up I'll put...

Wanted to bring this post back from the dead. After looking at multiple options over the years, I made the move to pour concrete this past fall. Before: Prep: Pour 1: Final: With the great advice in this thread I have also added a french drain on the RH side that is about 90% complete. I...

Walls and ceiling first. I used a sprayer to paint, and ground floor.

Because that costs to much! Great post and good ideas. I'm in the same boat with 4 incandescent fixtures and not nearly enough light.....time to head to the store! Scout, great looking XJ's you have there....I miss my 92'.

I'm in the same boat as you. Want something that will last, but don't want to waste time with a kit. Here's what I"m going to do hopefully before winter. Worst part is getting site level.... http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_572_572
