Security is a concern but I have 3 overhead doors and 3 windows. If someone wants in theyre going to get in. My bigger concern is rain/ wind beating on the door. But now that im thinking about it the inswing seals will probably hold up better stopping a driving rain

Looming at adding a door on west side of my building. Thinking about going with an outswing to help with the driving west rain and wind. Am I thinking of this right? Or will an outswing not be anymore beneficial for that and im just spending twice the money

Looking at a pressure washer for the shop. Looks like a lot of guys are starting to use ryobi electric PW and mounting them on the wall. Not familiar with electric units. Im coming from a 3000 psi gas unit. How will these perform. Obviously im not looking to remove mud from ranger/truck inside...

Has anyone purchased a land honor metal garage/shed. A local auction house has multiple brand new in the crate coming up on an auction. Looks to be 30ga cover sheets and 19ga structure. Wondering how well they hold up with a snow load

Shed is a 40x60x10. Just picked up a bit maxx 80kbtu but debating where to hang it. As seen in my crude drawing I have two walk through doors and 2 over head doors. My first location i was thinking of hanging in the corner at a 45* facing the opposite corner. Second location would be on the west...

Tonight I noticed again that the thermostat was reading tempnwas 71 when set temp is set to 69 and the furnace was running

The fireplace will shut off like normal. But inwill notice it running again latter when the temp is above the set temp. We have a wood burning fireplace going most of the time

Sorry. Pics must not have uploaded. Pics show how wall was framed. I didn't remove anything other then plaster. There is a closet above the staircase with full attic above that

There was just the 2x4 header above the doorway. The first 2 studs at the lower part of the stais we king and a jack. But the other side of the header was just tonailed into the outside wall. No king or jack stud.

Basement is just open staircase

Floor joist run parallel with this wall. I openeeld the whole wall up. Both top plates were staggered and did not end on top of studs. Along the outside wall the door header and the top plates were just the toe nailed to the outside wall stud

Another pic

Wanting to open up our staircase into our living room. Why would the top of the wall be double plated even tho the joist run opposite way.. the basement is not even supported. House was built in the 60s. I feel like everything has been overboard on things that I have found while working on...

I ended up trying the vebor 4gal. So far for $100 ive been happy. Haven't ran it long enough to try and fill a 5gal bucket but I have used it to wash hands and clean knives after butcher deer and wipe down tables and it has kept up. No issues yet

So far this winter i have yet to drop below 40* knock on wood. Being unheated. I think when menwrds brings back the 11% rebate I will probably purchase the 80k btu big max heater unless someone talks me into a larger one
