Yes, Mid south. They said to leave the end open near their box, and to leaved the middle section of about 2 feet open also so they could inspect the depth.. a quick note. Everything has been marked.

hadnt thought about a mini ex! I actually do have another use for it. Previous owner made a drainage swale by laying big rocks right on top of a natural swale. Guess what my mower blades nail EVERY time? If anything, A proper french drain would be wonderful.

Hi all, my new little garage has already been roughed in with outlets and lights. I had a panel installed on the outside. Now it's time to set up the meter. The power company is telling me that I'll be responsible for a 3 foot deep trench with 3 inch conduit. The run from where power hits...

I could probably afford spray insulation. Think it would do well?

I would hate to have to vent each rafter,and the webs make it hard to decide best placement

I think I see what you are getting at. here's some photos of the ceiling. If I could keep as much head space as I could that would be good. When I climb onto my boat for any reason, my head is in the rafters. and you're spot on about just trying to hold back as much solar gain as possible.

also gonna do rigid on the inside of the garage door panels.

as to conditioning, I *could* put a small AC on it, but since I'm not paneling the ceiling, it seems wasteful. The garage houses my boat, all my fishing tackle, rods and reels, and a bunch lawn gear. 14x7 garage door at each end, 18x30. I'm still considering if a small A/C would at least keep...

Ok, good questions. This is a tuff shed garage with radiant on the back. one long ridge vent, but no soffits vents, but I plan on installing some myself shortly before it gets hot. I'm near houston and it GETS HOT. Roof is already shingled.

Well, good news! The electrician is doing his thing this week in my new garage, so shortly I'll be able to start the insulation process. I was going to use paper backed roll up in the walls, but I'm not sure what to do in the roof. I'm going to leave the trusses open in the roof, and have...

Are you thinking the dirt, if left in place, would settle? How would you handle the exposed sides of the ramp? Just ramp them down at a steeper angle and compact them? My concern is the sides sliding or falling off and away

Here's a better view In the far far right edge, you can just make out the edge of a green topper of one of my septic cells

Ok, couple of points that aren't obvious from the photos, I'll take some more today. If you're facing the rear of the garage, I have about 20 feet between the garage and the septic system. There is a cross fence that separates the front yard from the back acre. A gate is going there, and yes...

The back of the slab is like, just over 2 feet above grade back there

Are you saying that you would remove all of the hard packed dirt you see in the photo and replace it with gravel?
