    Garage insulation question

    right now its just sheetrock and joists, no insulation at all. I thought about blow-in but I need to keep some storage space up there.

    Garage insulation question

    So facing down onto the sheetrock? Walling off the opening will be hard since thats the access to the rest of the attic space into the house.

    Garage insulation question

    I dont post here ofter, just do a lot of reading. I have a standard 2 car garage with attic space. It dawned on me the other day while cleaning it out why it was always cold. Theres no insulation over it. Evidently, the previous owner removed all insulation for some reason (Pest control? there...

    What should I do about this gap?

    It’s 1” wide X 3” deep. Which sika product would work best? I’ve read enough to figure out that sika is the product to use.

    What should I do about this gap?

    This is the gap between my garage slab and driveway. It has bothered me ever since we moved in to the house. It fills up with dirt and leaves and if I drop a nut or bolt or screw, it goes right into the gap (like a black hole). I’ve read about a flowable material to fill it with but what do I...

    Garage door reverses just before closed

    just went through this with mine. the sensors were aligned just enough to work sometimes. i found out by closing the door and putting my foot on one of the sensors and it closed with no problem. a quick tightening of all the track mounts and it hasn't happened again.

    Garage door R values and other questions...

    I'm not at the point of a full fledged HVAC system in the garage, I just want to know if I'll notice the difference between a R6.5 and a R9 door. And Rob, do a search for the names you mentioned. You'll be even more confused. Which do you like, Coke or Dr. Pepper???

    Garage door R values and other questions...

    I'm looking at a Clopay 1 3/8" GD with a R6.5 rating for a door that faces West. The next step up is a R9 rating. I want to work in the garage in the winter and summer. Will I notice any difference in the two R values? Would I be able to use a small portable A/C units next summer and have keep...

    Vintage shop machine pics...

    I don't post here much, but, I just had to show the tool fans these pics. After blowing the rear main seal out of my new Ford F-250 bucket truck, I was sitting at my Division HQ in Tulsa, in the heavy vehicle garage, and got to looking at the machinery sitting around. The lathe had a 6' - 8'...

    Who has the coolest clock in their garage? Not Me! Ideas?

    My clock is nothing special. I'd guess it's late 40's early 50's 18" Edwards Co. clock mounted to a piece of 1/2" thick bar stock. Thats mounted to 3" long springs and those are mounted to 3" angle iron. This clock came from the Dept. of Emergency Management. It is nuclear blast and earthquake...

    I'm new to all - but not new to some...

    My name is Jason. I'm in OKC. I've got a '51 Merc crammed into a 2 car garage (fighting for space with my wifes junk). I've know Ryan since, let's just say along time! I'm getting ready to start my garage remodel pretty soon, so, I'm looking for 2X4 bench plans. That's about it.
