Been awhile since I posted anything and I've made some good progress. All insulated, sheetrock done,painted,A/C in, electric done

I told you it would be slow going. Got the ceiling insulated this morning with the help of a good friend. I probably won't be able to move for days, my old muscles haven't seen that much up and down ladders in years.

Well, I've got the outside all trimmed and caulked and ready for paint, so now I'm ready to start on the inside. But I've got a couple of questions. I've been looking at insulation for my 2x4 walls and all I'm seeing is R14. Is that as high an R value that is available? I'm also trying to...

Made a little progress today. I got a $10 off with a $50 purchase coupon in the mail from Lowe's last week. I went in this morning and bought 2 sheets of Hardee board and a couple other things. I love shopping with discounts. Lowe's also does 10% off any day with a Veteran's ID card, so they are...

Have any of you tried Gibbs? It's been working great for me,

I got a great deal on a Mac 250 ft.lb. torque wrench on ebay---less than $150 delivered in like new condition. I use it almost everyday at work. Be a smart shopper, don't buy the first one you see and pay attention to the sellers feedback.
