    Painting OSB

    In my garage I painted the ceiling white, and used a clear coat intended for log homes on the walls. I'm pleased with the results, and think it looks much better than painting the whole thing white, and less work to boot.

    Drywall vs. OSB

    100w Light Bulb Ban

    Around here, for at least 7 months of the year the extra heat from an incandescent light isn't wasted. It helps heat the house. I agree using incandescent lights is a waste of money, in warmer areas where air conditioning is being used, but around here the cost savings isn't all it's hyped...

    Lifting a garage and adding a lean-to

    Thanks for the advice so far. I like the thought about using cinderblocks for the base, but I have a few concerns/questions: 1: The cinderblocks are going to be quite a bit wider then my 2x4 walls. So shelving, benches, cabinets, etc will no longer be flush with wall, unless time is spent...

    Lifting a garage and adding a lean-to

    Hello, This is my first post, but I’ve been lurking around here for a few months. I bought my first house last fall, and it came with a 24x30 garage. It has new shingles and vinyl siding, but on the inside it’s just a basic uninsulated garage with 8’ 2x4 walls and three 9x7 doors. This...
