    Block or Frame second story

    I'm not a construction guy, but when We had our house built on the west coast of Florida, bottom is block/Stucco and second level is wood/vinyl siding, asked the builder and his statement was. If you do stucco over plywood, eventually you will have the stucco seperate from the wood. Do you...

    best AC for detatched shop

    If you have a Sams club membership, I just purchased a GE 24000 btu ac unit for 424.00 on line only. Just put it in last week. I'm probably 45 minutes or so from you, get the humidity down and it helps a lot.

    Does anyone really care?

    Alway's like seeing somebody posting pictures of a build, you know how you picked up idea's, others will be doing the same from yours. For Hurricane season not supposed to be real active this year, it's off to a running start/ Be thankful it's only a tropical storm although up to 50mph.
