I have small carriage lights on each side of my garage door and they look nice but are a joke for lighting the driveway. I want to get a LED flood light and would like to mount it here: But I have never done so over a board and batten style siding. Could I just purchase a mount block like...

I have a 20x24 attached garage and a guy down the street has the same house layout/same garage. I was driving past his house and his garage was opened. He hasn't officially moved in so the garage was 100% empty and was able to get a good view. I noticed that he had a Cadet wall heater...

I did not plan on doing any trim at the base because its 6-8" above the slab and very little chance of hitting it, not to mention 75% of my walls are going to be lined with cabinets and tool boxes. Really its just my OCD taking over and telling me the project is not complete.

I have 2x6 walls over a 2x7 treated sill plate. However this creates an exposed lip on the inside face. After drywalling there is still a 1/2" exposed lip of exposed sill plate. The drywallers have held the drywall tight to the sill plate but I just question should I caulk this area? Not sure...

My garage was originally unfinished, the overhead door was mounted to the studs. Now I am insulating and finishing the interior. Do you need to remove the garage door & track to drywall it correctly? And if so then what just reattach the track directly over the drywall? I feel over time that...

I am about to sign with a company to insulate and sheetrock my garage, however they suggested adding a ceiling vent fan into the garage area and to do so while the electrical panel is still easy to get to. They said nothing fancy just like a bathroom fan and rather than a switch to have it on a...

Is pollen green? I always thought it was yellow?

Yes the plastic does feel "damp" on occasion, I know there is humidify in the air as I can open my tool box and some of the tools are "sweating".. That might answer the problem, as someone noted above just get a dehumidifier. As someone else mentioned, yes my garage is sealed up tight, when I...

I tried to get a decent picture but it is just not capturing the green tint very well. This was the best I could come up with, keep in mind it does look much more dramatic in person. Basically it effects every unfinished wall of my garage from the level of the electrical outlet down to the...

I have lived in Washington for my whole life and never seen such a thing. I would say my garage is pretty damp in general just from my wife's car and the garage is only opened a couple times a week I am sure the air gets pretty stagnant. My neighbors have the same things but they both use their...

I live in Washington State and have a home that's almost 3 years old with an attached unfinished garage. The wall that is attached to the house has drywall on it and so does the ceiling but the remaining 3 walls are unfinished. On the exterior its T1-11 so there is a visible vapor barrier on the...
