I have the same problems with my exposed rafter tails as you and was thinking of going with automotive body filler like mentioned.

Here is mine, now the building is almost done and I am trying to figure out the actual system install . I have a few parts I have been collecting when I find deals at the store or on Craigs. Maybe I can talk E.rodz into coming over to Orono and help ;)

I have been shopping for tiles for some time now and have a few questions to add. I will be putting in a two post Nussbaum lift, should I go right over the tile or put the lift in first? How warm should the slab be before I can put the tile down? Right now our winter made a comeback and it only...

Luckily I live in a boating community and have non oxygenated at two stations nearby. I only use this in everything I own. My newest car is a 93 so nothing I have is going to like E10. It usually costs about 10-15 cents more a gallon but it probably is cheaper in the end when you work out the...

I am currently building a garage with a tiny apartment upstairs. While I am single still I plan to live out there next summer while fix up the house.

I am not sure what you consider "high dollar" but I am in the process of my VW garage build. My collection consists of early watercooled with the newest being an 89 Golf Rallye. Here are todays photos, I need to start my own thread one day :)

Should I insulate it and what would be the best way to accomplish this? My location is just west of Minneapolis...

I look at this site for inspiration and ideas http://www.realcarriagedoors.com/gallery.php I will be building my own doors on site with the help of a local carpenter. I live in Minnesota and am also concerned with keeping the elements out so my doors will end up being quite thick. I will be...

I have a similar sized garage going up and I was given a rough estimate of 60K BTU heat loss. Does that mean I can use a 118K tankless water heater just fine? I also want to use the tankless for a sink and washing the cars with warm water.

I went with Zurn, very expensive but looks like it will last forever. http://www.zurn.com/pages/catalog.asp?OperationID=6

One car most likely would be a project car, aka shell.

Has anybody used a 4 post to park 2 cars on it perpendicularly? I have seen a photo of some quads up on one but I would like to put a pair of VWs up. I have been trying to find specs of deck widths and it looks like they are around 75 inches wide where the wheelbase on my cars is around 95...
