Thanks guys. I really appreciate the kind words. I had not thought about adding some additional 2x to each stringer to stiffen them up. I think I will d

I ended up with Wayne Dalton too. I got the 8500s sized 9x9 with 32 inch radius tracks . Cash a carry price was $927 each. I went with the lift master 8500s myself. Super easy to install. I would suggest them based solely on ease of install. They are also whisper quiet. I got mine from...

Looking good, who did you go with for doors? Model? Sizes? What did you end up with for prices?

Hmmmm interesting on the Greg smith description. I looked at the challenger instructions and they do say "expansion joint" and I looked at the rotary instructions and they say " any seam". I don't see what an "expansion joint" would be for in a garage anyways? It would seem to me that they...

Corrugated plastic 4x8 sheets can be found at Home Depot in the plexiglass section. I cut the 4x8 sheets into 2x3 inch pieces. I used about 1 1/4 sheets for the 1800 sqft of siding. Big screen I found in the screen section at lowes. I think it was 8 inches wide by 50 feet long. I used the...

Just curious about your lift and your control joints cut in the concrete. I had to put my front to back control joints at the center of each door opening because if I had done it like you had done then the lift posts would have been to close to the control joints.

How did you decide to hang the siding?

How about a link to the prefab you are looking at so we can see what they are selling. The prefab is going to be stick built too with te exception of the trusses but you could have the trusses built for your build too. Probably all 2x4 construction with the cheapest osb available with the...

I don't know why you guys are getting on the OP telling him he as some sort of responsibility for knowing how a foundation is constructed. He is just joe blow home owner that doesn't have the first clue about construction. He is not an inspector, he has hired a gc to oversee the construction...

Yeah this is not nickel gap. You will have less shrinkage with kiln dried( mine was kiln dried) but it will expand and contract depending on the humidity. I don't think I would **** them tight. Not sure what you are doing for soffits and how far that will get you down onto the wall to take up...

I'm not familiar with the term nickel gap. Are those laps that on one side are a 1/2 inch and the other lap on the other side is 3/8 so that they are self gapping? My shiplap had 1/2 inch on laps on both sides so I manually gapped it. You need to leave a gap for expansion and contraction during...

Justin, you are the best!!!!! Yes I have one unopened. I will ship it back. Is the office address the same as the return address on the shipping box? Thanks again!!!!!

That's a very interesting statement. Air is made up of a mixture of gasses including O2, nitrogen and a bunch of other gasses. No reason for only 02 to pass through and not any of the other gasses.

I did my garage with ghost shield after I had applied the TL 37 densifier. For what ever reason I used about half of what the directions on both products said I would need. I used a sprayer to do both applications. On my 28x40 garage I used 2.5 gallons of densifier and only 4 gallons of the...
