Thanks Bill, I'll check today to see if the door has a brand name. Thats a good start!

Nice article, thanks!

I'm having a hard time finding out where to buy a plastic window insert for my garage door. Its the insert that dresses up a plain window. They are plastic and I just moved into a house with one thats broke. Any online stores that sell this stuff? I'm having a heck of a time finding out where...

I'll say, thanks! Garage is done... Final pic

Thought I would give an update since its been a year since my first post. The garage is finally going up. Here is the latest picture!

Okay, it turns out that no permit is needed for concrete in New Castle De. But you do have to get Deldot to approve a wider entrance from the street. The county said they would need pictures of the footings being poured (including ruler) for when I do intend to build on to the existing garage...

Thanks Guys! That is the info I need. I will contact the County to see what I can or can't do. And I like the idea of having an onsite inspection from the county and inquiring about local builders that they deal with. I agree, I think I will need drainage from the bottom of the hill before the...

I have a small walkway to the left of the house. The dog run to the right has 2 five foot sections that pull up for access to the yard.

I agree. The drainage issue has to be resolved. The water does tend to come down from the sidewalk towards the house. I was going to have the stump ground down as far as possible including all the surface runners. Is it worth calling an Architect and would they put together a plan that...

We love our home but it only has a one car garage. Parking on the street is getting crowded so we want more off street parking too. I would like to double the garage and add more parking. Can someone detail what steps need to be taken and what sequence they should be taken in to do so. I...

I don't blame you. I think I'm restoring my last one. Its fun but I'm getting to stiff. At least I used a rotisserie this time.

Have you bought one? It looks like a good way to get bigger pieces in.

Test. How come I need 10 charactors or more for a test?
