    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    Hi kaymccampbell, sorry if I am being thick as a brick, but Mary's Baby? Only thing I can come up with is my Lord and savior. If that is the case, then yes, he is. Only the Lord could come up with something as beautiful as a dog as a gift to humans.

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    Thanks BEB, I have had many friends in my life - muts, great pyrenees, brittany spaniel, great dane, golden retriever x2, lapsa apso. I'll bet Cooper will always be a cherished member of your family. Duke has been my best buddy since the day I picked him up at the airport (bought him sight...

    Did I screw up?

    grant00 - I had the ICC guidance sheet for a detached garage, which show that monoslab as an option, which is one of the reasons I went that route. The second inspector I talked to has me second guessing. Copymutt - The rebar grid was set in "rebar chairs" which keeps it about 2 inches above...

    Buying a new Sub Compact Utility Tractor

    I have owned a MF 1705 for 3 years. I still own a vintage Yanmar 1500d (love it for the nostalgia, but there is no comparison to the MF). I am on a 2 ac lot so I can't really speak to working 40 acers with the MF, but I can say for the types of things I use the tractor for, I would be completely...

    Did I screw up?

    I spoke to the building permits office and the person I spoke to said that my proposed foundation would be fine. So I went ahead with the pour. Later, when I took my permit application in, I spoke to an inspector that was "concerned" about my plan. I know I should have waited to pour the slab...

I have already poured a mono slab that is 10 inches thick x 12 inches wide around the perimeter to support stick built walls. The floor between the perimeter is and approximately 5-6 inches thick. The perimeter...
