chop the legs shorter so it sits closer to the ceiling, then you can hang stuff underneath it as well

This isnt the best idea, but... I did a nickaloadeon show a few years back and the production company decided to shoot in a portable style metal building instead of a sound stage. When they asked us to put up sound dampening/insulation, we used a **** ton of furniture moving pads and chicken...

Like forcefed said, brand doesn't matter, just the type you need. attic,wall,floor,etc are different in little ways. I just had the attic done, it was bare clean up there, and made a HUUUUUUGE difference. If you can, go bigger. thicker the better. I suggest fiberglass for attic, cause you can...

I got a Takagi tankless installed about a year ago. I dig it because its so small and its mounted outside.water in the house is hot (of course) and never running out, especially after the women shower. once you turn on the water, its not instant hot water to your shower, but once its hot you...

I like red with a hint of purple added to it, that way at night it still looks red and not orange.

either stash the ladder outside with a chain locked around it or do the pulley system to the ceiling, just dont use cheap rope, buy some nice sailor line and some climbing pulleys. if you tie a tight clove hitch around the ladder it will not fall. it would look pretty bad *** all done up right

have a nice sony 5 disc CD changer. and ran the speakers up towards the top corners of the garage, cause from there the music can throw farther and if I'm talking to someone in the garage the sound is above us and not blasting at face level. :)

the wifes car was doing something similar, I made sure the shoes were backed off enough so they were not touching or near the drum, even though most my old cars required them to be almost touching the drum. rusty springs can be an issue. I always go with new springs whenever old ones are rusty...
