Thanks! I know what you mean about riding! I rode the entire Blue Ridge Parkway and back this past July. I hope to do the same this October and take in all the beautiful leaves. If you haven't been, you should check it out. I probably would have went pole-barn construction as well but...

Thanks! Likely the cleanest the garage will ever be! :) The metal was for one of my first projects in the new garage. I had so much fun building it! It was so nice to be able to grind away in my own space and not worry about having to clean up so I could bring cars back in at night.

Never did come back and post updates. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

Have they shipped yet? I need to get mine ordered.

Wow, that's good to know. Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks for the info! Contractors Commercial is saying everyone is out of stock on the James LED Magic T8 TubeItem #:ZY-T8-20W1200 BIXX-50K and are suggesting the 18 watt version instead: ZY-T8-18W1200 BIXX-50K Had planned to purchase 60 tubes and put 25 fixtures in my 28'x32' garage with 10.5...

Thanks for the picture. What I'm looking to do is not all that different than a common patio like the attached photo. Instead of a gabled roof on top of the patio, I'd put decking and a railing. I'm the first one to admin I'm not an expert and know what "code" allows. That's why I'm here asking...

Yes. I was asking for suggestions that would meet code. Are you saying it's not possible to build a free standing 20' deck that would meet code? Trusses are done and in place, so yeah, I agree, probably not a good idea to attach to the top of the trusses. Reading on the forum a lot of people...

Thanks Bob. I hadn't considered steel. The problem is I'd like it to look like the deck on my house. I do however plan to store things under the lower deck as you suggested and I already have a hoist in the main garage tied to the over-engineered quadrupled 2x12 trusses around the dormer.

Building a 28x32 garage with 8x14 attic. I wanted to have steps in the back of the garage to the attic space. I know it's strange, but I also would like to have a second landing above the attic landing as kind of an observation deck. We're near the mountains and the second landing would be a...

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, the picture made it look like it only came with on M12 battery but looks like it actually comes with 2 M18 and 1 M12. The charger is multi-voltage so I assume it charges either. Included: (2607-20) 1/2 in. compact hammer drill/driver, (2656-20) 1/4 in. hex impact driver, (2) M18...

I used a Tractor Supply canopy to paint my truck. I have a small garage and it's finished inside, so I didn't want to mess it up with overspray. So, I found a canopy on craigslist which was basically new. I put thin plastic on the driveway and it worked good. Of course you're limited by the...

Coming along. Got the trusses up today. I'll be happy if I don't have to climb a ladder for a couple days. :)

Laid the block. Slab poured last Friday. Start framing this weekend.
