I have an architect coming look at my over garage attic space to see about converting it into a bonus room for my toys. Do you think these supports are load bearing or just left over from when the house was built? They do not feel that they have any weight on them. Derek These are near front...

I am going with the KBRS system, very similar to what you mentioned.

Here is what I mean, you can see how they sloped it back to get from in front of the studs to behind the drywall. From the "feel" of the pipes it seems they are under tension and it most likely wants to return to the in front of stud depth.

I will take a picture for you, but where the show head exits the valve is actually sort of "pinned" back to keep it at the normal depth. I believe that if I release it it will most likely spring in line with the rest of the depth of the incorrectly installed pipes.

There is no access to the back side of where that waterline/stud initiate from. Its about 16ft down the dead space for the chimney/fireplace. So what now, just furring?

Yeah no basement, the bottom you see is the slab of the house. You think use some sort of furring strips to just space it out?

So, not so much installing a shower in my garage, but I am looking to you all for assistance. When my wife and I purchased the house 3-4 years ago it had a pre made fiberglass show in the master bath that just never fit in. We finally decided to rip it out and go tile. I made quick work of the...

Wow! Thanks! Sorry it took me a bit to get back, I really appreciate all the feedback. Firstly, I know the setup "works" because I have tested it, but I wanted to know any major code violations. You are correct there are some different brand breakers, I did not know they all had to be the...

I am looking for some advice for you all since hurricane season is upon us in south Louisiana. I purchased one of these kits from genconnexdirect.net and installed it myself several years ago before I knew about garage journal...

Ebay, but there are plenty options out there depending if you want flush or surface mount with this thread size. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321187292907?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I pulled off all the teflon tape on those fittings and went with Loctite Hydraulic & Pneumatic Thread Sealant. The tape doesn't really do much to prevent leaks and the Loctite once cured is good to 10000psi. I have no had a single drip except from the quick connect fittings during disassemble. I...

I'm jealous of your organization!

We raced the 1M for a year, had a blast! The wife wanted something with a DCT to drive more daily, she hated driving the manual around town. The TTS was a good combination and the Audi dealer game us more than new sticker for the 1M on the trade. Here is the mounting points with the plugs...

Yes sir. Mandeville.

New addition to the garage today. MaxJax. It was well packaged and was delivered in great condition from Costco. I have been reading on here about all the potential issues and I was well prepared for its arrival. I rented the rotary hammer from the local HD and spent plenty time picking post...

Thanks! I'd say maybe 5-10 degrees lower than peak temps before, but I didn't take before measurements to confirm. It may be just my imagination, but it definetly seems to have helped. For the price and ease of installation it surely couldn't have hurt. I did have to rebalance the door after the...

I'm Mandeville as well Scott, nice to see so many locals on the board.

I bought it during a Black Friday sale at Home Depot. It was made to be a convertible. I did do some mods to it by adding a PC fan and adjusting the thermostat to get it extra cold.

This is what the wife sent me as how she sits today. You can see the mini fridge that is a convertible "kegerator" with the Bose sound dock on top, the blue covered item next to it is my home portable generator and sub panel that I did the install of and linked below, really an awesome setup. My...

Sorry for the delay in posting pictures. I am overseas right now and my I asked my wife for pictures but did not want to tell her why, she may find where all my ideas come from. ;)
