Hey Lamar, is this rain wrecking havoc on your build? Read this morning we can expect another 3-4 by tomorrow night

You should also consider you local building codes too. You'll definitely need permits and you may have to have inspections done during the process. And some places require licensed pros to do the work. 20+ years ago, my first home did not have a garage and we decided to build a 24x32 garage...

If you're going to wrap them, try staining one first. I would go with oak or pecan, something to add a little color. If it looks good, cool. Don't like the look, wrap them with barn wood

Yep, got a Proto tool box in the garage, a average size tool box in the hall closet and Husky bench top box in the basement. Didn't take long to figure out where ever I was, the tool I needed wasn't nearby. I convinced the wife (ex) that she needed a tool box of her own for the little stuff...

Looking at your want list, I would make sure you run a phone and cable line out there. I like to listen to the game, race or tunes when I'm out there. My area has poor cell service and a phone in the garage is pretty handy. With a phone/cable line out there, you can have a remote server for the...

I was thinking he could get 2 or 3 out of that block

Tic taco toe box, I remember doing one in scouts

Started buying my son tools on his 10th Christmas. Wish I could say he appreciated or likes them. But he starts driving in 3 years and he'll be getting an older car. Started off with a CM socket set, then wrenches and CL plier set last year. He was eyeing a big Stanley tape at Lowe's, so I went...

Hopefully I'll have the same issue to worry about in a few years. Having seen the way my son and his friends act together, makes me worry about what can happen if they get a hold of some power tools. May have to set some ground rules, maybe talk to their parents too

Have a coworker that went that built a pole barn with the plan to live in the mezzanine while they built a house. Well the girl friend left and he decided he didn't need a house. He took the house money and enclosed the mezzanine and finished the living quarters really nice. It reminds me of...

Look at flathead.com, they do custom murals. Their stock stuff isn't to bad, the murals are pricey

We caught this little guy snooping around

Another vote for t-111, the wife and I did a 24 x 36 garage with 10' ceilings on a Saturday. Trimmed and painted on Sunday

Had a similar issue 4 years ago. My normal electrical bill is around $150, jumped to $300, then to $450. It's just me, I'm turning everything off, called the company, guy came out and verified the usage and all the power draws. Turns out it was my well pump running 24/7 I called the well...

I've see a few basements done with the cheap 1x6 T&G pine on the lower half and then sheetrock on the upper. Makes taping and mudding allot easier. Basically only have to tape but joints and corners. I did the inside of my garage in T11 siding. Came primed and was easy to install

Mount them on a shelf close to the ceiling. Have it tilted downward so you can see the cars better. If you don't have enough cars to go around the room, then you have an excuse to buy more

Dad? Is that you? He had us all programed at an early age to turn the door knob. My son is pretty hard headed but does most of the time.

I would have said nothing but reading 3 pages, I seemed to have a few. But I will ask a question, what is so bad about doing things properly? Everyone knows the outlet screws should be vertical, tools have a proper place, toilet paper feeds over the top.... So, are we **** or just doing things...

X10, when my son was 3 or 4, my dogs were harassing a black snake. He climb the fence to escape them. I saw it and thought it was a king snake, big mistake, he bit me multiple times as I tried to untangle him and toss him in the woods. He was a mad/mean SOB. It really freaked my son out, now...

That's a wide open question. Need to take some time and figure out what you need and want and go from there. Park your cars and lay out some water hose. Make sure you have space to open doors and walk around the front and back. Don't want to smack your car door on the other car or the work...
