Not understanding why you want to build a hip roof inside a building? What am I missing?

Also, CPTpatt, what is your location? That is a pretty relevant question when beginning to devise an insulation strategy.

Are you talking about radiant reflective foil?

I agree. Anything done in the root zone of a 250 year-old tree is likely to have a very negative impact on its health.

Zeke, depends on the types of vehicles and the size of the driveway and such. I had a narrow, steep drive that my Porsche 911 could go at nose-in but had no chance of backing up into (it would've scraped terribly). So backing the 911 in was not an option unless I wanted to do a 20 point turn...

I don't understand having 10 acres but somehow you are restricted in size by this tree? Makes no sense. If you were in the city with onerous setbacks and a bunch of variances, I could see it. From the sound of things, you are planning quite a lot of different things in the shop and the gear...

You live in Central Oregon. Hourly workers at your local McDonald's probably make what the manager makes out my way. :ROFLMAO: Pay your comrades and drive on...

I'm feelin' it. (y)

That is $8/ft for seamless 5" gutters here in Central North Carolina. Just put some on my rental property. Downspouts ran $100 per.

Is that kind of like a U.S. flag? If so, it is not oriented the right way I think.

The problem with gutter 'calculations' is that they are based on theory. Reality means your downspouts will be partially clogged with pine needles and debris when a storm blows up and you'll have six competing priorities that prevent you from getting them cleaned out in time. When I had mine...

Do yourself a favor and in addition to repairing the building, remove all that 'landscaping' and ******** around it. You see nice 'bushes'. Vermin see a highway.

Good luck getting a remedy for the gutters. Those look like the standard 5" residential typer gutters. How any gutter crew could think a single 5" downspout was going to drain 50' of gutter is beyond me. Not in your climate zone, no chance. That's only the first issue there. Second question...

Modern battery maintainers are completely idiot-proof and cheap insurance against a non-start or premature battery replacement. I have 3 or 4 of these and they go on anything that is going to sit for multiple weeks, including the zero-turn mower.

That 10' door on the enclosed lean-to looks too wide to me. Why do you need a door that wide for an area less than 14' in width. I'd rather see 3 8' doors across the front for proportionality and flexibility in how the space can used. I'd do a window above each for balance instead of the...

Polished floors take an incredible amount of work to maintain. It is not a process you do once and then don't think about for 5 years. Those polished floors you see at a Lowes or Home Depot are scrubbed semi-daily with a little Zamboni-like machine and given full a repolish monthly or more...

Is the water heater done with rigid copper lines or flexible braided hose? If rigid, I would not just try to 'lift' it with the lines in place, you're asking for trouble. Take the time to unhook the lines, drain the tank and do it right. Chances are it needs flushed anyway and it is a perfect...

My first question is: does the slab have an existing vapor barrier?

Ditto^^^ You only go jackshaft if there is a material reason why you need the space that would be occupied by a standard opener.

I heat mine with this: 6.2L space heater keeps it tolerable in my mild N. Carolina climate.
