i have the same thing. I have noticed condensation on the bottom side of my roof as well when it’s humid out in the morning. This is why I’m asking the best way to ventilate. If I had foam panels installed up between the joists against the steel roofing would that help? I have seen metal roofing...

To many missiles flying around over there!

Hello, I have a garage/cabin in the southern tier of ny state. Cold normally a lot. So I have an overhang on a porch that’s 8 ft deep and runs 36ft long. It has steel roofing and open on the bottom side. I want to put steel on the underside but I believe I will trap moisture up there. What kind...

Ok thanks guys, I’ll probably never use it.

I’m not sure what it is. It’s in my old tools.

Can anyone tell me what this is ??

Thanks guys for the input. I used an excellent Amish crew for my frame and steel. Great job. But these guys are limited to where they go, as most Amish builders.

Thanks for the advice everyone , I will check out your posting lake roadster Wow Lakeroadster, I went to your post like you said while typing this and wow! That is very detailed and loaded with pics. I will read it through tonight. Looks like I’ll get a lot of information from it. Thanks again!

Another thought is hand held deburring tool. I have used them from either side of a hole. You can get all different types of tips. Tips are cheap. You just insert it then give it a couple turns and done. Can be used on any size hole.

I have had a lot of experience with fabricating using acrylic. I would say that's your bet bet to use. Just regular acrylic is going to break when dropped or hit hard. Another choice is Lexan. It's a lot tougher and uses the same solvent to "glue " together. You can use a table saw with a good...

Great job on the barn!

Very nice work! I have been interested in trying to get into making boat covers and canopies . I found a old pfaff German sewing machine for sale so I bought it. It's supposed to be a heavy duty machine , not a commercial unit but built tough. I'm going to attempt to my first boat cove for my...

Very good start, I like the covered front section. I'll be watching your progress.
