Very nice write up. Thank you very much! A similar write up along with a very nice and professional products related to car detailing can be found at this website: http://www.detailedimage.com. I am in no way affiliated with it - I only used it recently to buy a bunch of things from them and all...
Totally agree with all who say that waiting a year is a BS. But this is how their warranty is written and guess what - I accepted it when bought the house. I understand the rationale behind it - they don't want to waste their resources for every single, normal and expected crack. But as some...
Truly appreciate your (and others) advice. I just realized that I forgot to mentioned that the drywall is a bit bowed - which to me indicates that the crack occurred due to some movements. Normal settlement or not - I do not know. But you are saying that my idea with screw will not work. I...
I am fixing a few corner cracks in my new house before painting the rooms and hope I can get some professional advice here. Yes, it is not in the garage.... but this is the house with the garage attached:) hope it can qualify for being here:)
Here are some pictures. I think what I need to do is...
Thanks all for great advice. I wish I posted my question before starting driving screws last night. The cheapo regular phillips screws I picked up in homeDepot camout even with me predrilling (perhaps I applied more torque than needed?).
Anyway - I stopped and will go and buy some SPAX (or...
I saw SPAX in homeDepot yesterday. They are a bit more but not by a lot. I guess I've got extra few bucks for them... unfortunately HomeDepot closed 14 minutes ago:):)
What is the general rule for driving a #12 (2'' or 3'') screw into a stud - pre-drill or just screw it in? Hanging some shelves in the garage and appreciate an opinion of a more knowledgeable people in this area than myself:) Thanks guys.
Guys, I see a lot of cool, creative, and some really expensive ideas for storage. I do not have a lot of tools: I do not repair cars or anything like that - just a regular home owner with a limited set of tools/things to organize in the garage. I wonder - four pages of ideas and noone (unless I...
freddyaudiophile - that's a great idea. Thank you very much. I didn't think of the frame obviousely:) having a frame, especially with the mid-support perhaps makes this installation more rigid than frameless? Will wait to see how Jared did just so I can compare.
Where can I buy all this...
Jared (redman43) - amazing work! I cannot even imagine how much time went into planning all that:) I have a question - sorry if it is a stupid question; I am new here and perhaps not as handy as most of the guys here.
I have a similar size garage (20x20) and just finished painting it, here are...
I also bought all the supplies in HomeDepot. Not sure if it is considered cheap or not: Behr Primer for Drywalls and Behr ultra white paint: 5 gallon each. Actually I even had to buy extra primer- 1 extra gallon. Behr Ceiling paint. Here are the pictures with problem areas- not a lot, but still...
