does the rafters and all the pieces come pre-cut and you just assemble?

I wish dewalt made a 20v air compressor that could do a couple bursts of 120-psi air for cleaning out a carburetor or keyboard

somebody must have used the cheap $1.50/sqft on sale stuff from home depot in their garage, come on and post how it is holding up. So far we only have people who think it wont work and no one who tried it

i drywalled/taped/mudded my whole house and now doing the garage, only 1 crack so far where i forgot to tape the joint lol

the KXX brand handheld vacuum takes the dewalt 20v batteries and they haul ***. Good deal for $50. I have bought cheesy $25 ones on temu and they are terrible.

good options here saving this thread for future

just make sure you use a company thats been around for a while. There are lots of Asphalt gypsies that open new companies year after year and do terrible work. Its worth paying a little more for an established company.

I just got my driveway paved 12k sqft in Maine in november, $28.5k

the funny thing about that is trucks maybe make like 2-3mpg better than the non-AFM old ones. That plug in AFM disabler doesnt do anything to actually stop the issue of what grenades inside the engine due to the AFM system. The 2014+ chevy half tons should be worrying about the horrendous...

Ive got $55k into this 30x40 with lean to's. I did the clearing and foundation my self, paid a guy to have it framed, roofed, sided. Then i hung the doors and wired it up. I'm still building a workbench and insulating it at the moment. Slowly but surely. If you hire a GC to do it its likely...

caulking and paint makes a carpenter what he aint! So there is no building inspector in your area to strong arm the GC? You are paying an absolute mega-premium for this garage and the GC is likely walking away from this build with $50k of your money. Make him correct those screwups or you will...

i just had 12k sqft new driveway over old gravel drive paved, $28k in maine

when it came down to either paying or doing it myself on my 30x40' i ended up saving the $30k and did it myself for $5k and bought a boat with the savings

wow i might try that
