If there is no space for a soffit vent then you need to look at intakes vents located at the bottom of the roof. Something like this: http://www.airvent.com/homeowner/products/productImages/staticVents-slMetal.jpg I just had a few installed on my garage to provide intake as my garage does not...

Howdy: I'm about two months into my garage renovation. I've been doing it off and on as time permits. However, I'm finally getting to the point of insulating, drywalling, painting, and flooring. I would like to do an epoxy floor, but I have a 35+ year sealed concrete floor with a ton of issues...

This should help you: http://www.1000bulbs.com/category/32-watt-4-pin-gx24q3-plug-in-compact-fluorescents/ However, I would caution from running 32 watt bulbs unless the fixture is rated for it. A lot of people check the ballast, but fail to check the fixture. It may not be able to deal with...

Speed-Racer did you buy it from Tool Source for $123.95? $123.95 doesn't exactly scream "deal" to me, but then again I haven't thoroughly researched light reels yet.

The idea was brought up in March. See here: http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58768 I also think it would be a great idea. I had to do quite a bit of searching when I was working on my plumbing project.

So where did you purchase these from that had such a great price? I'm interested.

How about all of the above at the same time?:bounce: Anyhow, very nice. I couldn't imagine what I would do with all that space.

The.Dude, which reel are you referencing? Kobalt, TSC, or HF?

There is no markup. You will be paying the same price as if you are a member. Usually items are marked up 10% at the register when shopping with a guest pass. However this is not the case since this is an open house.

I just called to confirm that open house dates. It starts this Friday and ends Sunday. No markup for non-members!

My local HD (well the one nearest me) had a place for them on the floor, but it was empty. The sign even had the yellow clearance tag with the $19 price. I decided to roll the dice and asked them to check inventory. They happened to have six on the top shelf still wrapped up on the pallet! I...

I wanted to update everyone on the project. After sharing the ideas from this thread and discussing the structural aspects with the engineer we came up with a plan. I married additional 2x10 joists to the existing joists with bolts and nuts. I then installed 3 rows of 2x10 blocking to prevent...

So basically the wall was built correct, but somehow it was built on the city's easement? Sounds like someone misread the plans or perhaps the city didn't mark the easement very well.

Here is the correct tool you need: http://www.cepcotool.com/insulknife/ EDIT: Heh, the previous poster beat me by a minute on the recommendation.

I looked at possibly adding more joists and that is going to be a lot of work. The existing joists are directly connected to the roof rafters. There is no place that I can see where I can connect new joists.

Morning: I am located in Texas and as previously posted the house was built in the early 1970s. You can't stand up as the ceiling is only about 5ft high at its highest point. It's more of a giant crawl space than anything else. It does have enough space for me to use plastic storage containers.

All the joists run one way (parallel to the garage doors). Are you saying I should add one perpendicular in the middle? If so that is going to be one big modification to the structure.

Ceiling joists are on 24" centers. The house was built in the early 1970s so it should be old growth lumbar. I can't find any stamping on the wood nor do I know the species. The joists are just under 20 ft long. I'm not too worried...yet. :) I've visited the above mentioned site before for...

Evening: I'm finally tackling my garage attic project. However, I have one concern in the back of my mind that is nagging me. I have a 20x22 ft garage built with 2x10 for the joists (24 in center). The outside walls are 2x4s on 16 in centers, but the wall opposite of the garage doors is 2x4s on...

First impressions are everything with it comes to trade-ins. Once you bring it up with the sales person they will take a look at it. If it is all dirty and dinged up they will think it has been abused and possibly offer a lower price. A nice clean car that looks well cared for will usually...
