    Mobile Pressure Washing Setup

    Run box store Ryobi I think its 2.5 GPM or something and 3k PSI at the motocross track all the time just gravity fed off a 55 gallon plastic drum. Not a problem. Stick your thumb over the pressure washer side of the hose and dunk the other end of the hose down into the bottom of the tank ...

    Question On A Shingle Roof

    Given that most of it is low, i'd suggest its the ice and water shield wasnt laid out nice and has large ripples in it which you can now see through the shingles.

    Roofing costs ridiculous?

    I just did my 30x54 with an 8/12, 1 foot over hang on each gable and eave, purchased material in June, did it in July. Central NY GAF Timberline HDZ (68 Bundles)- 31.62/Bundle GAF Starter Pack - 48.74 Ridge Cap (3 bundles) @ 51$/Bundle 21 Pieces of Drip edge - @ 9.16 / per 2 10sq rolls of...

    Garage door height, sidewall height and roof overhang

    It was originally a 16x7, and I just added another 21" panel to the door , so its just shy of 9 foot. I had just replaced the door a year or two ago so it made sense to buy a single panel. I usually just Dolly the sleds into the garage if I have them at home and they arent left at camp. I did...

    Garage door height, sidewall height and roof overhang

    finishing the reno on my mine currently, was 30x30 w/ 8' wall height and 16x7 door. Its now 30x54, with 10 foot wall height, 8/12 attic trusses. 7' door sucked. I just added another panel to mine now that the walls are taller and I framed out for a bigger door. I just have standard 1' over...

    Mancave door - Soundproof?

    Does your Company have an office? If so, you could just go back to working in the office. I hate this work from home **** due to what you're describing, but also a plethora of other reasons. Sounds like a solid core door and a sealed threshold would be helpful, but as also mentioned would need...

    Weed wackers

    If you have a postage stamp lot the electric one probably works well. I dont have a ranch by any stretch at a little over 2 acres, completely in the woods sans a driveway entrance, but I hate batteries. The only 2 stroke equipment i've ever had issues with is the cheap junk homeowner grade...

    Help a newbie with a RV/Workshop design!

    From looking at the photo you originally posted, I dont know why you'd bother to have the RV in a lean to. There is maybe 20-25' more metal to cover the additional gable ends. Then the RV is inside full time and out of the elements.

    How to hold this lawn striper up. AKA, The most GJ-appropriate question ever!

    Used to basically fold the blades of grass in a certain direction, so that opposite rows have a different lighting effect. Think of the checker pattern you see on a baseball field.

    LED Strip vs LED Flat Panel - garage layout with 8 fixtures

    Used the lighting calculator / software, its linked in that monster lightning thread right here. The lights are available from the catalog to select. just went back and looked and its just shy of 50. 30x54 w/ 10' ceiling, sheetrocked, using 30" IIRC as the working plane , with the actual fixture...

    LED Strip vs LED Flat Panel - garage layout with 8 fixtures

    Not sure which Lithonia fixtures you're looking at, I bought 15 recently from Lowes on Discount at about 45$/per, I think they're listing them about 90 bucks now per fixture. They're the Adjustable lumen output (4-6k lumen), 4000 on the temp. They do have a dial switch inside the fixture to...

    Looking to build 24x30 garage

    The old felt paper is not so confidence inspiring (I just removed a 6/12 off my shop to do some other renovations and replaced with 8/12 attic trusses). But the new synthetic paper is pretty decent. I could walk the 8/12 on the synthetic paper without a problem, and i'm far from a roofing...

    Addition Framing/Insulation Questions

    I missed your original post. Yes, I have stamped plans for the trusses. I see no issue doubling up the truss and stick framing between them. my day job is engineering but I don’t have a PE so the plans are from the truss manufacturer. What I was saying about insulation , you described. You...

    Addition Framing/Insulation Questions

    You’re correct, venting is from eaves up to ride vent. I hadn’t considered the layout you mentioned but seems like it would absolutely work. Basically run 2x4 flush with the bottom of the top chord, then run a 2x4 as if it was a top cord toe nailed in. I think I’ll probably go this route...

    Addition Framing/Insulation Questions

    Thanks! I think the situation is a little different. I've included a screen grab of a drawing I created to help clarify. Trying to decide the best way to stick frame between the gable and then doubled truss (since i'll be skipping one to allow for stairs). This is shown in red circle. If I...
