    Any of you guys work through college?

    This is what I'm doing as well. I graduate this spring with my AA and should finish up my BS in the next two years. I'm thankful the boss lets me be her college boy toy and not work while I'm getting this done.

    Andersen Windows Vinyl Wrapped

    We put the 400 series on our house we built in 2013 and love them. I wouldn't hesitate to get them again.

    Cost to add lean to on my garage

    @hoosiermark I could do that however my main building has been spray foamed and I would rather not disrupt that since the lean-to would be used just to store the tractor, lawn mower...etc type items.

    Cost to add lean to on my garage

    I just got done running the numbers on my lean to addition that I was planning to do. For a 15' wide, 56' long and a finished eave height of 10' 6" I came up with about 12-14k. That's me doing the framing on it as well. Cleary who did my original building wants 4k for just the metal. I...

    wall framing in pole barn

    Sorry I was not clear. 2x4 walls in lieu of 2x6. Green board on bottom no matter what.

    wall framing in pole barn

    What we did was drill a hole, put a piece of steel wire in the hole and drive a 16 penny nail into it. Concrete nails irritate the daylights out of me. Dajn is correct, bottom plate needs to be a green board however since its was just going to OSB, we just used 2x4 to save money.

    wall framing in pole barn

    This is what I did before I sprayed my pole barn. It just took a little time to anchor the bottom plate to the concrete, once plumb we hung the OSB without issue.

    air compressor oil drain rerouting

    I'll snap a picture of what I did on mine tonight. Basically, 1/8" to 1/4" pipe adapter (pump to valve) then a 1/4" ball valve, a street 90 then a 4" ******. I can slide a hose over the ******, route the house into a drain pan and walk away. I don't see any reason why you couldn't do this.

    Typical drywall labor cost?

    I paid $4250 to have 13,000 sq ft of sheetrock taped, mudded and textured. I hung all of it myself and simply had them finish it.

    Sheathing - Anyone tried "Zipboard" ?

    I used it on our house for the walls and roof. Good Product from what I can tell. I liked the fact that when it was taped, it was pretty much water tight. I think I had 1-2 spots over our entire roof that dripped (in a valley) after we taped it. I'd use it again for sure.
