thanks ddawg for the response. the structure will be water resistant as a normal building should be. (hopefully =) ) I will not be adding a skirt. so that answers the question. as for the steel beams - I've coated them with a poly. thanks again

now I'm trying to figure out how I can forgo the insulation and venting by leaving it open. in doing so I will still need some sort of insulation and I think I can solve that by putting down some 1/2" R-3 foam board right on top of the joists then a vapor barrier and finally the subflooring ...

I'm quite new to this forum, but I'm extremely excited about all the knowledge that is available from the users of it. I've been eying a couple builds (@platinum overcast and @lupinsea) and really appreciate the design, effort and detail they have put into their builds and threads. I'm...

for what it's worth - (to me) it makes great sense to use what you already have. good luck with the weather - stay safe. NW looks tough right now.

perfect homemade sconces Lupin....good idea to tie into the landscape lighting. I'm going to snag that idea for sure =). do you plan to paint or seal the exposed wood? - I personally like the contrast of the blue and the natural wood. if you plan to seal it, what will you seal it in?

Any updates on this garage build? It's been a year since last post, would like to the the finished product if you have one. great view and good looking build.

dag PO - that looks incredibly sharp!

Good find on the prefab flashing - I will do my best to locate something similar here for sure. thanks

did you install metal flashing over the top most piece of IPE in the picture above? just wondering if you made the flashing or if you purchased it to size. your co-worker looks to be resting too much :D also those panels look great!

I 2nd that - it would be greatly appreciated. I love this forum!

Texas yes. thanks for the info Plat. I've used the polygal before but for a porch cover and now I'm going to be using it on a 6' wide floor to ceiling section but the majority will be similar to your clerestory use. I'm interested to follow your install as a kind of guide for my install. I...

Where did you acquire the Polygal? I'm in Austin and have located it at Regal Plastics, but in 6'x20' sheets that need to be cut down.....did you find it in 4'x8' sheets or was it cut down? thanks

thanks for the great detailed information Lupin. again - SUCH A GREAT BUILD!

this build is AMAZING - look forward to seeing anything new you've posted each day. I need to jump back in time a little bit (sorry to do so) - I was noticing the rafter vent blocking you put in place on the smaller shed. it would make sense to allow for air venting on all houses I suppose, but...

FANTASTIC DETAILS! great articulation of process as well. more please
