the floor/ceiling in the house is made of 2x10s on end, the house is about 25 years old for the plywood idea i dont understand how it would be better than a few 2x6 on end. the 2x6s i could just put a couple eye bolts into and not worry about them pulling out, but the ply wood i dont...

I would like to be able to hang individual items that weight up to about 400 lbs from the ceiling in our attached garage. Right now the celiling is drywalled, and i am assuming insulated as there are 2 bedrooms above the garage. I would like to SAFELY be able to hang a deer in the garage from...

This fall i am going to clear some land for a garage that the pad will go down next year, then the build the following year I have already chosen the area and its higher than the surrounding yard, and will be close enough to the house to use the WIFI and can run underground power to it pretty...

I guess it depends on what your definition of "country" is but here is a list of things i was told before or that i learned since moving out of town Well-get water tested before moving in, and talk to previous owner about it septic-find out how old it is and get it pumped when you move in...

So i am going to guess that part of your field is going to be under the driveway as well? I have no idea about down there but here a field has a 25 year life, tank 50 year. How old is the tank and field I think this is a really bad idea, and if you sell in the future any home inspector would...

I am starting to plan my own for out at the cabin as well. I am looking the same size, but being in canada im going with frost walls. I am doing one large door mainly for when i back in something on a trailer like the boat or sleds. Then it will give me some more room to play with. On the...

type of pump is a big one. Submersible no worries about prime, jet pump will need primed. Depending on the depth distance from the pump to the water bring a few 5gallon pails of water. Check the "foot valve" on the intake, and make sure that its not stuck open, it will only allow water to flow...

Glad this came up I was lying awake last night thinking about how to seal the 1.5 inch gap at the top of the door and the space all around. I am thinking i should order some of the hinges and try and move the door forward a bit. The door looks like it was installed a bit further back than it was...

how old is the house? we just did a big reno and took a wall out

Long story short is we took out a wall that had a switch in it. The options of where to move it ****, and **** worse. So i am looking at options to have a remote switch but know nothing about them. I want to keep the wiring where it is as it is easily accessed in the attic, so am looking at...

I figure i will be around 1000lbs. The plan is to wet 5 gallon pails, fill about 1/2 way then a quick spray of water on the top, and throw a tarp over them for the drive home. From the time they get in the truck to when they are dumped out it should take about 15 minutes you think im out to...

i am also doing a small pad to build a new "well house" to keep critters out of the well. I am planning on doing inches of concrete just so that i have the ability to put anchor bolts into the pad for the walls. I pre built the walls so it might be more difficult for me to put the bolts into...

Hey, First post. I joined the forum because we just bought our first place and its got a 15x30 attached garage, and hopefully a detached 20x30 in the next 2 years. But first i need to get the inside the way the Mrs wants it. Between the kitchen, living and dining area there is a "L" shaped...
