Sounds like the whole house fan is a really good idea. Those that have them seem to really like them.

That is something I'd like to avoid...:wtf:

Uggghhh... 1X6's. I'll have to do the garage too; the roof is the only part not insulated and finished. That is a mess I'd like to avoid. As I think about it, I have things in there that don't react well to contamination. I can see I'll need to do some prep work. I'll be there the whole time...

Thanks! I just printed it and am going to begin reading it at lunch.:beer:

Hey John, So yeah, no snow here. This house only has one gable and it is very shallow because there is a vaulted ceiling below. We do have a 3X10 at least every 10. The house does have a lot of ridgeline for venting. I'll talk to the roofer about whether it is adequately vented at the eaves...

Flashing in the valleys and a ridge vent seems to be the consensus.

I'll have to make sure we have adequate venting under the eaves. I know that attic has some big dead spots in it.

My feeling was the California valley was a cheap way to do it. I like the ridge vent and it seems to be the way to go. I'm going to find out about the radiant barrier. Right now, it's all planked. should that be removed and replaced with OSB or plywood? I've thought about that and the whole...

It's about the time to replace the roof on our house and I'm not sure which way to go here. Our home is in So Cal so we don't have snow loads, or extreme cold. We are probably going with another composite shingle roof but where I'm not sure what to do is with flashing and venting. We have had a...

Thanks everyone, I want to set up our exterior and some interior lighting so it can be turned on when my wife or daughter comes home after dark or so I can turn on the back yard security lights from the house (they turn on in the garage) if the dogs are barking. I suspect I'll find some other...

Does anyone have suggestions for a wireless switches for lighting that can be controlled with an app? I seem to find switches that have good ratings but when I check out the app, there seems to be a lot of very negative ratings regarding poor app software. I'd like something that can be both...

Abbie. Passed on but never forgotten. She was a really good dog. Cooper (Named James Fenimore Cooper by my daughter). Fearless watch dog, ace hunter of opossums, squirrels, and coyotes, and all around judge of character. Distruster of strangers. 75 pounds of fur missile and constant...

I've bought a lot from this guy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lincoln-Power-MIG-210-MP-Multi-Process-Welder-K3963-1-/361850838319?hash=item543ffd9d2f Not a fan of multi-purpose, but all the Lincoln equipment I have had or used has been very good. This has a good price and duty cycle. When I have...

CARB has far too much power and wants nothing more than to build its kingdom and consolidate more authority unto itself. Their rule-making ability is ridiculous. Decisions like that should be for the legislature. We really need to be free of these tyrants. I'm with you, this is the first step...

You sir...****. Very nice score. You got so much stuff there your descendants will be using it!

I have out three bikes hung in a similar fashion. They hang from the underside of the rafters over the garage door with the front tire close to the apex of the roof. I could hang them in a more accessible manner if I ditched my overhead storage on the other side and hung them in the middle of...

Yes. I worked retail, then as a service writer, then warranty administrator at an Acura dealer. Went on to work as a draftsman for a company that built all sorts of industrial machinery, then as an engineer in training at General Dynamics. Graduated without any debt and went on to graduate...

Quick spray with Purple stuff, water rinse, wipe out with a paper towel and store in a plastic container. They are clean and contaminate free when I need one again.

I have the same plasma. 10' cord, 20' leads, 60 amps. I seem to recall it had a better warranty than others too. Paid 1200 for it at IOC. Free shipping and no tax. Got it in about 5 days in CA. I've only had it since November, but I really like it so far.

Looks great :bounce: I hope when I sell my home the next owner is excited about what I've done with mine. My wife and I watch some real estate shows and we are always surprised by people who couldn't care less if the house even has a garage. I always choose the best garage or garage potential...
