Mostly Mastercraft from crappy tire. Lifetime warrenty, thats what matters the most .Break it and bring it back, lol.

I made a choice and bought the MAKITA LXT217 Model. I paid a few extra bucks and got the makita blue with the 3.0 batteries instead of the makita white with the 1.5 compact batteries. This set feels really good and compact with loads of torque. To make things even better when I was talking to...

Hey Thanks for the info. I was looking at the Makita 18V compact drill / impact combo, the white and black ones. Man they are small but I have read that they have battery issues. For the average user just around the house you would think that the set would be more than enough ??? Gonna have...

I was thinking about purchasing a new cordless drill / impact combo. Thinking about getting the makita 18V set. Anybody have this set ?? If not , my choices were dewalt , makita or ridgid !! Any comments or ideas ???

I layed a few sheets down on the attic floor today just to see how much room I actually have up there. Its not really an attic for doing much, just storage. My triangular attic space is almost 14 feet wide on the bottom by 40 feet long with 7 1/2 feet of headroom. Since its a decent size I'm...

7/12. I had the trusses designed to give me a large storage area in the attic. :beer:

Its been a while since I had a chance to post some pics. I'm getting a little done each week. Slowly but surely, haha. At least I'll soon have the garage weather tight before the snow starts flyin. It took 50 bundles of shingles to cover the roof. Shes costing now,oh my !!! Got most of the...

I figure i'll frame the top when I buy a door and get the rough stud opening. Maybe the door heights are all the same but i really don't know. I'm building this myself with help from a few friends and neither of us are carpenters, lol.

OK, hopefully the pics are back on here for all to see. What do you think ???? I didn't think the garage was very big when all you could see was the foundation. Now with the roof on it looks huge out in my backyard, lol.

Well guys its been a while since I posted any progress. It seemed like forever for the trusses to get here. Put trusses up saturday Sheeted in the roof Sunday (today) Cleaned up a bit Slow going but i'm making progress, lol

Nice, tidy job. Looks alot cleaner. Good idea for the TV as well. If thats a real dart board ya better lay off the juice or your TV could be in danger !!

Hey Bib I sure hope so !! I have to wait for my trusses though. There is a construction boom on the go around these parts here lately and the wait for trusses is about 6 - 10 weeks. I am supposed to have my trusses mid october ! If all goes to plan , I'm hoping to have the garage weather tight...

Hey guys I snapped a few pics of the progress this weekend !! See the little pile of wood left from the framing. Not bad, hardly any wastage !! I sheeted in half the walls. I had to stop cause the nascar race just came on, haha

Hey guys, Thanks for the input but I really don't need a lift! I can turn a wrench but only like doing it on small stuff. My good buddie is a mechanic and what he can't do the dealer will. I may regret it but the only lift I'm putting in there is a lift for the snowmobile, three wheeler, quad...

Got the foundation backfilled yesterday. Going to start building the walls tomorrow. It still doesn't seem like a very big garage to me, lol ! What do you guys think ??
