    This http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=61601-81-87700&lpage=none is what you want for the garage doors, sides & top. I have it on my underconstruction garage and it is a much better seal than the tapes or tube type which I will soon replace on my attached...

    How can I determine if my garage door is counterbalanced correctly? I had a 9x8 19x8 doors installed recently. The smaller door slams closed pretty hard. Is there a test I can do to determine if the springs were installed correctly. Both will hold position at about 4' above the ground...

    Whats the outlook on wood prices?

    Vintage garage plan (caution - large pictures)

    Growing up, a friends grandmother had a garage similar to that. It had 3 doors acrossed the front. Cedar shakes for roofing & siding. I really looked forward to visiting. The grandmother would pick us up in her rumble seat Ford. Thanks for reigniting a great memory.

    Storage trusses were only slightly more expensive than scissor trusses ( I bought some of each) when I bought mine. Talk to the designer at a truss plant. If you can't find a plant in the phone book, check with a lumber yard or Lowes or HD customer service. They'll point you in the right...
