As a (part-time) professional photographer, it a tad disappointing to see two literally identical cameras except for the price and moniker and then choosing the highly expensive one just because it's a Leica... this shouldn't make one feel more superior photographically but more superior from...

Keeping an eye out with your project as it is very close to my project. I have a 14x20 garage that is getting similar work done. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Michael

How about LED T8's? More energy efficient but pricey.

UPDATE My house was just repainted and so did the garage Installed a new 100A 240V 8 space 16 circuit panel

I suggest to create a spreadsheet template in Excel/Numbers. It's easier and more cost effective.

New garage door installed August 4, 2010... OLD door NEW door -- trim will be painted white... the door is 9' wide and the door opening was 9'6", so had to install 2x4 and 2x6...

I have a somewhat similar "dilemma". Two sides of my detached garage have tin "siding" and the others are stucco. I'm struggling whether to do the work myself or hire a contractor. Contractor labor cost will kill the budget. Doing it myself will cost considerably less but may not be at par...

Agreed. The majority of the mercury emitted is from burning fossil fuels. Just because it is doesn't mean that people should ignore the *small* mercury level in the bulbs. The really high mercury content in our seafood really blows. I really believe that everyone should do their part to...

Any suggestions on what I should do with the sill plates? The two sides made of tin? Should I take the tin off and replace with stucco?

I posted new thread for my garage project/remodel... http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70879 Cheers!

Re: My Detached 14x20 Garage Project Taken just minutes ago... the above photo is the view looking into the garage... walls are only 8' high... the tine sides are the on the left and back of the garage... I've focused more on the left side which is the tin side and with the most sill plate...

Hey guys, I purchased my house with a small 14x20 detached garage back in 2003 and now finally working on it in 2010. A little history on the garage --- it has a hip style roof and was built around the 60's as a possible carport (my house was built in 1941). Looks like the roof was replaced...

If you want to help the environment, LEDs are the only way to go. I would not want the mercury from the CFLs to seep into the landfills and eventually our food supply. I believe there will always be a premium for LEDs since it can decimate the CFL/Incandescent bulb industry. I will *try* to...

@evintho I'm in Alameda

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. @Major Ramifications. Done. I will post photos shortly... my garage is a total mess right now... I'm assessing the foundation currently... The sill plates are on the concrete slab and there are some rot...
