Ditto for OSB here. 55 sheets @ $5.10 a piece. 7/16" (24 for the ceiling) Used a lift, a nail gun and construction adhesive.:thumbup:

I have a 10' ceiling height. I just put the heater onto my scaffolding with the support plank 8' ft. from the floor. Then just rolled it over to the corner. Put threaded rod into the ceiling joist, and then thru the heater flange. Then tightened up the nuts on the treaded rod enough to raise the...

I think they mean 5' min. vent. That's what my instructions say. But I didn't pay attention to that. I used b-vent double wall pipe thru a thimble. Total vent length is 2 1/2 '. And it ends 12" from the siding and I have mine 18" under the soffit. No problems at all with the soffit. Doesn't...

I got my R30 batts from Lowes for .53 a square foot.:thumbup:

I put my thimble up against both the inside wall and the outside OSB. Then I added a "vinyl block" to the cut out siding. The double wall vent pipe passes thru this and then I added a storm collar which seals the hole in the block. Sort of a double protection against water intrusion.

I'd rip out the old concrete back to the cut line. Looks like about 3 - 4 foot back. Then pour a new approach with a lot less steep of a rise. You'll never be happy with the way it is. Bite the bullet now!!!:beer:

Bob, No need for commercial doors. Just buy the door from Home Depot as long as it has a torsion spring setup. Go to overhead door company and buy 2 10' long pieces of track. Throw away the vertical piece of track from the HD door and use the new 10' piece you bought. Just cut it the length...

I got R30 batts at Lowes for .46 a sq. ft. It was easy put it in the ceiling. I do have blown in insulation in the attic of my house. I recently added to it, but it was a two man job. Me in the attic and the wife loading the hopper.:bounce:

I need to put a new heater inside my new garage. I already have the NG line run and it's time to buy. I was going to buy a Mr. Heater Big Maxx 75K unit from Northern Tool and have it shipped since their stores are nowhere near me. ($472 + shipping). But today I was at Menards and they have a...

I'm near Peoria. Look in the yellow pages for plumbing suppliers. Most will sell to you on a cash sale. That's what I did and no problem. I did have a plumber do all the connections. I just did the trench with a trencher attachment on the skid steer. Also my local ACE hardware store here also...

I just ran my gas and water lines to my detached garage. Went to the local plumbing supply store and bought a 150' roll of the yellow 1" plastic line and 2 male end fittings. Total price was $143. Each compression fitting was $25, so yes the line is not very expensive. I ran 3/4" plastic for my...

Neighbor near did this to his garage. He put in a 10' walkout basement foundation. But on the main level he just ran joists and made it his shop. It is 5 cars wide and one big a$$ shop above it. From the front it looks like a one story building. Drive around back to access the garage.

My brother in law just had a Morton building put up. He researched it and looked at a few. Morton used treated 6 x 6 for the poles and the lower portion of the walls are backed with OSB. He's happy. Morton was even cheaper that some of the others. And some used 2 x 6 's bolted together for...

Getting close to wiring up for the ceiling lights. Question is; can a 2' x 4' fluorescent light fixture made for drop in ceilings be installed between my 2' spaced trusses? I really like the clean look of a recessed light fixture like the dropped ceiling style. Just wondering if I can drywall...

I've got a 4' slope on the rear of the garage I just built. The guy who poured my driveway says he will bring a FEW loads of dirt to level it out....:eek:

Code here is no more than 6' between bolts and on all corners. In my opinon, you can never have too many bolts.

That's what I have.... Works like a charm..

:+1: I AGREE Or lay the plate along side the bolts and use your framing square to mark the location.

Hire it out. 8/12 is pretty steep. And roofing in this heat is killer. My 26 x 34 roof only cost $450 for the single install including the ridge vent. And I bought a box of nails for his nailing gun. It was done in a day and I never lifted a single shingle. It was worth it to me.:thumbup:
