I'd talk to someone before I went into full scale production of something, but using someone else's idea for myself and a few buddies isn't outside the line as far as I'm concerned. I'd expect the same of the ideas that I've posted up. And I'm sure that there are overseas shops trolling this...

Ok, my mistake. I thought I had seen charts that it was actually less. But R19 does drop to R13 in a 2x4 wall - not more than R13 like TtTM said.

Nope and nope. Batt insulation works on the principle of "trapping" air. When you compress it, it removes those air voids and lowers the R value. So compressed R19 can have less insulating capacity than R13.

Kunk's coupon isn't showing up for me. Here it is if it isn't showing up for you either. Good until June 18th.

That's typically how such projects go. Clean up one thing and then you notice the next thing that needs to be cleaned up... :lol_hitti

Two closest stores showed $8.98. Third closest store showed $2.69. Fourth $2.24. Fifth $5.39. Currently unavailable at all of them... :(

As CNG mentions, you don't say where you are located. But no matter where you are, insulation is likely a good idea. It will keep things warmer in winter and cooler in summer even without added heat or air conditioning. Only place I'd not consider insulation is someplace where it is comfortable...

Plans online are most likely to be cheaper. They draw them up once and make hundreds of copies of them. Same cost savings as having someone make you one-off of anything vs. having some plant in China make 50 million of them. However, online plans obviously won't be customized to your needs...

Totally disagree. I use 3D from start to finish on every project I do. Helps me to understand how it is all going to go together and helps clients understand what is going on.

First question would be whether there are more detailed specifications than that? Items such as the doors, windows, and plumbing fixtures could vary widely. Are you getting the "bargain basement" items or name brand stuff? Personally, I'd want to make sure of the products I was getting before...

If I understand you, you originally didn't even get flow to spigot #1. What did you find when you replaced the pipe from the tank to #1?

Agreed, but it is now owned by Trimble. Trimble to Enhance its Office-to-Field Platform with the Acquisition of Google's SketchUp 3D Modeling Platform

Pretty much everything has gone to torsion springs. And they're not that difficult to replace. Personally, I think they're easier than inline springs. The torsion spring is contained when it breaks. But the simple solution to the inline style spring is to run a cable through the spring tied...

If it is a name brand, I'd disassemble it and see what is up.

I used exterior. I hose down the floor and it is a "workshop" not a "showroom" so it seemed the extra durability was worth it. Semi-gloss at least. It will be more resistive to dirt and such. Get a "block filler" primer. It is thicker than regular primer and fills up the pores quickly. A...

Not sure on your brand, but the Wayne-Dalton rollup doors have tension springs: http://commercial.wayne-dalton.com/filelib/file/self_storage/DS-200_install.pdf I'd assume that your setup is going to be similar. If there is a spring, it will be under more tension when it is closed than open.

Definitely! Thank you for sharing your progress!

I agree with you. Here is a link to Lincoln's portable fume extractor: http://www.lincolnelectric.com/en-us/Equipment/Pages/product.aspx?product=K1653-2(LincolnElectric) And here is the parts breakdown: http://www.lincolnelectric.com/assets/servicenavigator-public/lincoln1/p319.pdf...

My garage is 24' deep. With my regular cab, 8' bed fullsize pickup it is extremely tight with a workbench against the wall in front of the pickup. I think 26' deep is going to be pretty tight with a crewcab pickup. I'd consider 4' of space all the way around the vehicle sizes a generous...

Well, you do have to do your homework... You certainly don't want to provide examples of higher taxed properties! This. Start with something like Zillow to get some estimates on nearby properties. You're looking for properties with houses of about the same square footage as yours and...
