Re: Tankles water heater? ive had my rinnai tanlkess running off natural gas in for 9yrs now. have a water softner hooked up as well in house hold never had any scale build up or break downs. only maintenance is every couple years cycle water with vinegar through the manifold to clean it. as...

I've stood 30'+ walls fully sheeted but I had a crew of 4 including myself to do it. if you have a pair of wall jacks you can do the whole thing in one piece wit some extra hands to throw the braces on once its in place. now to answer your question although it may have some benefit to overlap...

i know up here in Edmonton we get hard water which can create calcium deposits. try flushing the tank with vinegar mix to remove sediment and any mineral deposits near the bottom that can be reducing capacity

I wouldn't risk it myself. get the foundation poured and slab on garage and wait on driveway till end....I would be bothered having new driveway poured then marked up or stained or damaged by others. As mentioned previously put the prep work in on drive way base and let mother nature do her job...

depends how much do you value your time and safety? the fact you are inquiring what's best way to do 30' trusses 24' tall with small crew leads me to believe you haven't had to do this often and would suggest getting the boom truck to lift the trusses for you and crew to be safe. walking a wall...

I bought a couple of sonos play 1 hooked up to my wifi in the garage and synced to my phone. Sound is good and volume high enough to hear anywhere in the garage.

I don't understand why settle for out of square when work hasn't commenced yet. whether its 3/8 or 6" the fact you know ahead of time and have chance to correct it doesn't make sense to leave it with such an easy fix. why wouldn't you? as for the extra 4 1/2" of height sure every inch helps if...

i agree with others and leave to professionals. concrete is expensive and labor intensive. aside from maybe not getting the finish you visualize in your mind what if **** goes sideways either sets up quicker then anticipated or drags out and your left with a huge mess as an experiment. im all...

whats your budget? ultimately that decides. I just finished lifting my 24x30 garage to replace the concrete under it and raise my ceiling height that I posted in here. for me it was more budget friendly and less headache then dealing with local officials

id take advantage of high ceiling and enjoy the commercial look to it...maybe brighten it up with some paint and new fixtures and spray underside of roof for r value

I try an keep what I can off the floor, so ladders and loose items hung up and pick one designated work space. whats the rest of garage is to be purposed for such as parking, storage? decide what your needs are

what about doing combination of both similar to a fridge where its on castors but once in place where you want you can level it off but if you need to move you can raise the leveling feet and move again?

if I had to take a guess I would say no doors channeled air under the roof and contributed to it blowing loose. looks like metal roof weakest link in basically pressurized room
