    Shed Roof Opinion

    http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=303404 This was what I build not too long ago. We used a 2X8 ridge with 2x6 rafters, I believe 12'' OC. I forget the pitch, but I believe its 4/12. We get more snow than you and didn't have a single issue this year.

    school me on trailer brakes

    That's it. That's the safest and most effective way to find your TB level. With that said, some TB controllers are better than others.

    Not a garage! 12x16 Shed

    I still have to finish the trim around the doors, and then paint the trim. I am also in the process of completing the demo of the rotten shed, which is harder than I expected since I don't have a dumpster handy.

    Not a garage! 12x16 Shed

    Sorry for the delay, I have been busy getting it finished. My mother and father (who was a builder until he retired) drove out to visit and helped put up the roof. We ended up building it rather than buying trusses. The roof is built using a 2x8 ridge, and 2x6 rafters. As it stands now its 95%...

    Is Home Depot / Lowes Concrete that bad.....

    I just used a bag from HD to make a pad for a new lamppost. It worked exactly as I would have expected.

    Not a garage! 12x16 Shed

    Sorry about the sideways pictures. This was taken before the cripples? were installed under the windows. I'm ordering the materials for the roof this week and my goal is to have it completed the first week of May. (I have to demo the old shed and get the swing set up ASAP- Per Wife)

    Not a garage! 12x16 Shed

    Just ordered the materials for the walls and it's set to be delivered tomorrow afternoon. I hope to start framing after the delivery, but might have to push it to the weekend. I didn't order the materials for the roof as I am having a "I can do that" moment to build my own rafters. The wife also...

    Basement Flooring Recommendation Needed

    I know you said no carpet, and I understand your reasoning. We redid our basement a few years ago and went carpet with a whole house dehumidifier. We haven't had any issues at all.

    Looking for tips on fixing up an old detached garage (photos inside)

    I looked 4 times trying to find the mentioned cables when I finally realized he was talking about the lift system. Sometimes I wonder what people see when looking at pictures. I would place some insulation in the existing walls and just deal with that. 5 years is a long time to deal with a...

    Recent addition: Oil Cans

    I am not sure how "vintage" these are, but I'm going to guess 50's-60's. I searched all over the web to find information, like dates, original pricing, current pricing and best ways to clean but not destroy them. I'd like to hear your thoughts. Ken-Rex Texaco 5gal 100 Plus Quaker State
