I'll take the wagon, luv 2 door wagons :)

Another thing in the Aviation industry, you better have thick skin, there is always someone trying to get under it and wear you out. It can be like working in a day care center sometimes.

4 years USMC working in VMAQ-2 on EA-6B's. 23+ years for a Major Air Line, still doing it. I'm a Lead Technician and love it. Been super luckly, I hired into a day shift weekends off job and have had that ever since. Air lines are tough as another post said. There are jobs out there. I have a...

The details: Garage is a 32x30 960 sq/ft I Pre-preped by laying down the extra house wrap to keep sheet-rock mud and paint off the floor. This saved tons of time cleaning the floor. I used the same house wrap to protect the sheet-rock and primer from water while washing and etching the floors...

Well we did our Epoxy-Coat today and all went well. We are very happy. now the wait for the drying time. Before By sgmccool at 2011-11-04 After By sgmccool at 2011-11-05

O how you gotta love the big box. So I'm ready to pull the trigger and put down 2 full kits of Epoxy-Coat after a lot of research. I was set to do a acid stain for cost and then discovered this thread. After searching here for a Atlanta store I call the closest one which is an hour away. I ask...

I have the exact same cabinets, 11 of them to be exact. Can't wait to get my garage finished so I can get these puppies in there. The best part is they were FREE, old military wall lockers.

Well the inspector will not back off the requirement and is making us replace them completely. The framer is taking responsibility and thus redoing the stairs at his cost. I hate it because I don't care to loose another 2 feet into the garage parking space and take another week but that's what...

Any final thoughts before I meet with inspectors today? Anyone ever submit for a variance, how do you do it and does it cost anything? Thanks again for all the great feedback PS I'm getting a electrical permit.

Yet another great point to make. My rise is 7 3/4" They first got me on that. I was miss matched at my landing and my final flooring. Meaning I had all the steps rising 7 3/4 and the final step to the landing and top floor was only 7" I simply nailed down a second piece of 3/4" flooring to fix...

Yet some more great feedback, keep them coming.

This is a great idea, Anyone have knowledge on limited access rules?

Being I live in Georgia I don't see a pen freezing in the inspectors hand:)

Well, I like the idea of boarding it off completely and telling them I don't have the money to fix it. I'll have to go down and plead with them. This is what the stairs should conform to http://www.canyonco.org/dsd.aspx?id=8784 ,Not my county or state but the same code. I'm short by 1" on...

I applied for the permit this year in July. It has already failed twice for the stairs. The inspector stated it will most likely need to be torn down and redone. My very good friend a builder has worked with me on a workaround and we simply come up short. the stringers are cut to 9" there...
