You are asking for trouble IMO. For reference, when I had my new 26x26 garage built, I had the attic trusses designed for 40psf loading because I intended to use it for heavy storage and didn't want to worry about it. The bottom chords are 2x10s @ 24" spacing with 2x6 bracing throughout on the...

My MaxJax arrived today. Sometimes you get lucky with the driver, and sometimes you don't. This guy didn't come knock on the door to let me know he was here, nothing. He barely made any noise. I didn't even hear him until he was closing the back of the truck. He showed up 3 hours earlier...

Just spoke with Maxjax. For anybody else that may be searching and has this same question, the liftgate service does provide for the driver to lower the pallet off the truck with the liftgate, and they will pull it off of the liftgate as well and leave it at the curb. I'll be sure I have an...

I've been looking at the Pump Sentry because I'm not really a fan of the water powered solution. It is basically an AC/DC converter that connects to a car battery and has a battery trickle charger built in. The benefit is you can use it with an existing sump pump, which is good especially if...

What kind of pricing are any of you getting or received recently for footer/foundation/slab construction for your garage? We live in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia. I've lived here about 4 years, previously I spent most of my life down in Oklahoma. Due to my job (engineering), I'm used...

Hey all, I've been registered here for 4 years, just never posted. Been doing a lot of lurking. Finally starting to move forward with plans for the 24x26 garage we are going to build off the end of our driveway. We are in the north Philadelphia suburbs, so we are lucky to be in an area...
