Sorry for resurrecting a really old thread, but I have a similar situation and am trying to figure out the best way to proceed. We've had lots of air infiltration, and along with an inadequate amount of insulation in the cathedral ceiling of our house, we've paid through the nose to heat in the...

I laughed at this because that's exactly what he would say. What I've learned in ten years, though, is that guys have much better ideas than I do, no matter how well I know him. :) Thanks to everyone for the ideas. There are a couple that made me jump up and down. Off to go shopping now...

Our house is still being worked on, so we haven't done too much with the garage. My husband got a winch for the hard-top on the Rubicon. How did we ever manage without that?! So I'm thinking that there have to be other "necessities" for his garage, and maybe one would make a great birthday...

We got our kitchen from www.greendemolitions.org It wasn't free, but it was great quality and was cheap. We paid $3,400 for cabinets, sink, dishwasher, cooktop, wall oven/micro combo, trash compactor, instant hot water heater, disposall, and counters. We had to have the counters re-cut to fit...

Had to open this thread for the title. We have three Jeeps. Love the Jeep front hanging on the back wall. Did you make that?

Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks so much! The link to the SMA info is wonderful. Sure makes reading codes a lot easier.

Oops. I meant spacing for the posts. We're thinking about using steel cable between the posts. I found a picture that shows kind of what I'm asking about the first post lining up with the stairs. See where that top post is? It's hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like it might be...

First post (besides an introduction), and of course it's a question. I know the posts for the loft railing need to be a minimum 36" above the finished floor. I don't remember how far apart the posts get spaced. Also, I've never finished off stairs, only roughed in. When I put the first post...

I was referred to this forum as a place for a friendly group and good know-how. I have a couple specific questions, but wanted to introduce myself first. Been living in NYC for a looooong time, but we're building a house out in North-Central PA. Finally, a home for my husband's Jeeps and...
