    Above 1200 Sq/FT Ron's Wreck Room Build

    Actually depending on the hinges having the door open out can be more secure. crack head can kick and kick and might not actually notice the door go out... WAY harder to kick a door in this way. I'm in the planning stage right now and opening OUT is on my list with security hinges. Any way I...

    Monopitch Truss questions

    have you spoken to permit office on options or other ways to raise the roof up any. seems punitive you have to match height and look 100% of the home. Do ADU also fall into this requirement? do they distinguish between livable and non livable in the code. might be worth looking for a work...

    When people say electircal in the floor... Are we talking about the plug being in the floor AKA level basically with the floor? or are you talking about having a riser come up and out of the floor? I would suspect anything flush would fill full of dirt, dust, oil, water, ETC and be a pain to...

    Welding a Century-Old Air Compressor Tank...?

    ROI on a fix for this to all about keeping the nostalgia of the compressor, financial correctness, performance to make air for a shop or something else isn't the goal here. Sure a shop could make an almost identical tank maybe even exact copy but it wouldn't be 100 years old original. 95% of...
