Fix it now before it is too late. You will always see it and it will bother you.

I will have to.bump out the wall to.make it longer too. I do not think the RV would fit with the door. The weird roof lines are throwing me off on how to simply mate up a new roofline to achieve the higher wall. I am thinking a visit to an architect is go my to be the first step.

HOA won't allow it. Everything has to match with the wall construction and roofing material. I would love to be able to do a nice lean-to but the roof line isn't high enough. The RV is 11 ft tall.

I don't need to keep the hip roof. I was thinking of ripping off the whole roof on the left most garage bay and just adding courses to those walls. I could then figure out a different roof line. I am in Florida so I know hip roofs are preferred for wind. I am also wanting it to make it match...

Hello all. I have been in here awhile and built my attached CMU two car about 6 years ago. I did all the work by myself start to finish. My wife and I are closing on a new to us used house that has a detached 30x60 foot with 3 garage doors and one man door. It is CMU construction and the...

I have a 1/12 pitch porch roof on the front of my house. I used the two layer roll roofing and ran that up under the shingle of the house a good 2 feet. Smooth transition from shingle to roll roofing. 4 years and no leaks.

Everything has been sold. Thanks to brandon in orland park Illinois who took most of it.

Hey guys. I'm cleaning out my dad's garage in the NW suburbs of chicago after he passed. Lots of cool old stuff that I can't use and wanted to offer on here first. All the items were put away in the early 2000's in the garage. I don't know if they run but someone might want to tinker with them...

I over did my door and went with a 150 mph 16x7. I still braced the door with my suv bumper during irma. Just a quick 10k lb ratcheting strap to my brush guard added a little extra peace of mind. When I built it, I also doubled the rebar, rafter straps, sheathing nails and poured the walls...

Sorry to thread jack. But how tall is your garage door for the lift? I love the double lift!

I agree with this.

This is an incredible thread. I am really slacking on my projects. Nice work!

That all looks great! Love your house also. Old Florida architecture is so beautiful and functional. I'm up I-4 from you in lakeland. I completed my two car attached late last year and now want to do something similar to yours on the other side of my property. Keep up the updates! Pete

I used to work in a shop that had a similar floor. I used to use gumout engine bright, i think, to clean the floor. It was expensive, but got the floor stains out without hurting the floor.

I did the same thing but with a full size pull out couch. I bought 4 casters at $8 a piece from home depot. Rubber wheels and brakes on each. They worked great for about 1 week and then stopped swiveling. No amount of adjusting or PB blaster would help them. So I returned them and bought the...

Seems like easy stuff to remedy. You just have some research to do first. I did my own plans for a front porch and had a friend sign and seal them. I tried to use the same terminology on my original garage plans on the front porch plans. I did miss a few words, but my friend took care of that...

I use a blue tooth receiver add on for the stereo and stream music from my phone with the Pandora app. Eventually I'll add a tv and route the sound through the stereo.

start tracing back from the outlet. Maybe the outlet is bad and not giving out the full 120 volts. Work you way along until you find the voltage drop.

I'm doing all my own electrical work for my attached garage addition. I live in Polk county Florida. They allow the owner/builder to do all work as long as it is permitted and inspected. I have had no issues so far. I have installed a 100 amp subpanel and six circuits. Google your county or...
