I stole my TV idea from Utah with the bunker garage corner TV mount. I made a smaller one for the bathroom upstairs as well. This one should be able to support up to a 60" LCD or plasma. I will start out with a 37, and upgrade the house tv with a bigger set for now. If only I could finish...

Fill the cells with concrete. Then put floor coating on the block up to the drywall edge.

Entered....I do not need a makeover really, I need it completed for me at no cost and within a short time period. The working on the framing, electrical, and plumbing on nights after work and weekends is starting to annoy me. Not to mention the weather constraints. Hot weather is more...

And run some temporary power under all those tarps to light them up really well at night....even when not working.

I think the tax assessors office came by to inspect the work that was being done one day while I was here. The girl started to measure the building, but got scared off by the neighbors rottweiler. I gave her the dimensions of the building. I do not think they will adjust the taxable value...

I have 4---6 foot windows in the garage and places for at least 8 live video feed cameras for when I am finished building. If someone wants to come poking around, they will more than likely get caught in better than bank surveilance quality images....both stored on a webserver and streamed...

I use the stereo in the car.

I will sell prized car toys if I have to get rid of them for one reason or another, and will take less money for them if they are sold far far away.(So I will not have to see that car ever again and see what someone did to it.) If it is bought and paid for, and you think that one day you may...

I used a styrofoam product called DuraVent. It comes perforated down the middle so you can use it with 16"OC and 24"OC rafters. There are several different types of baffles that can be used to provide the breathing space between roof and insulation. My place is set up with ridge vents and...

That's cool about the tools. I hope that one day my father will pass along his tool collection to me. It is wide a varied as far as manufacturers go, but they are all usable.

Try http://www.behmdesign.com I bought my plans for a 28' X 46' garage, then modified them to connect to the existing house. I mainly bought the plans for the materials list to get a good idea of the costs involved, but they served me well. You get 4 sets of plans and they have a large...

Thanks. Looks like google has recently updated their aerial views since I started this project....Here is the before and after aerial pictures. Kind of cool to see it this way for sure. The Satellite pictures must have been taken sometime after April, but only recently updated through their...

There is not a legal wife to have a corner right now. The space in between the garage and the existing house will be a "green area". It currently supports a green sort of algae bloom with the fish pond. At some point I may build a deck to cover the space with a hole cut out for the fish...

Howdy peeps. Was wandering the net looking fo something and stumbled across this place. Nice. People talking shop. I have been working a little over a year on my garage project. Should be calling for rough inspections soon so I can start covering up the walls. Garage is bigger than the...
