I'm going to be siding my existing barn with metal r-panels to match the new barn next to it. The existing barn has painted T1-11 siding that is in "decent" shape. Can I just install the new siding directly to the wood siding, or should I do house wrap first, or do I need to install 2x4 girts...

Nation-Wide problem. I'm going to jump up on my soapbox for a minute. We, as a society have pushed for college degrees for the last several decades. There is a large portion of the population that were/are not good at school. So, when those types go to college they end up majoring in some...

How can a company that makes doors, provide one all black and think, "yeah, I'm sure they want a mill-finish window section"....... aggravates me to hell. Shop looks great though !

We moved last year after being in the same house / garage for 30 years. It's been just over a year and I still do not know where anything is:(. My compressor, welders, milling machine, and bandsaw are yet to be hooked up as even though I got a much larger space, the electric desperately needs...

Very Nice

Going out of town for a bit, so parked the RV "inside". The 40' long, 13' high RV looks small in there!

Another long weekend in the books. Welcome to upstate NY weather, this weekend was ridiculously hot, but hey, it was dry except a brief downpour mid-day Sunday. Set the trusses Friday late afternoon, all the prep work really paid off, we were able to set all the trusses in about an hour and a...

Finally got all the posts set and a fair amount of the wall girts up. Everything is pretty square and true. Because I am setting the trusses in a notch of the posts I've been pretty critical with measurements. After the second row of wall girts went up on the north side, I laid a set on top of...

We can't win with this Upstate NY weather. I read that the last dry weekend we had was November 16/17th. We managed to have 2 3/4 dry days, but they were weekdays. Still made some decent progress after work. Trusses are here, hoping to have all the carpentry done by the end of next weekend so I...

Another weekend is over. Happy with the progress. May not look like much, but got the holes all compacted, grade board done, and the corner posts in. Was kinda chilly which actually helped and a bit of rain off and on. This week is supposed to be hot and mainly dry. Hope to make a big swing at...

We have been able to get in between rains and all the posts are set ! The massive rain we had last week caved in most of the empty holes with 4-6" of sticky muck. We had to hand dig them out and get them leveled again. Backfilled all the holes, awaiting another "final" tamp. After all the post...

Ugh...we've been hit with a 'Nor easter. I have no idea how many inches we've received so far, but I'm better off taking the lumber for this project and build a boat. At this rate, I won't have it completed until next year. I really had hoped on hitting it hard during the upcoming 3-day weekend...

Columns finished last evening.

Well, the weather has been a bear here in upstate NY. Wet, wet, WET. This weekend we dug-in as we already put it off a week due to the rains. I knew it was going to be a sloppy mess, but pushed forward anyway. We got all the holes dug at 52" which will put the concrete part of the column 10"...

Are you building or remodeling this ? The reason I ask is there is a framing method that greatly helps with sound proofing a wall. Would still need some insulation / sound barrier to be completely efficient though. Anyway, if you're building the room / wall, install 2x6's as top and bottom...

I'll try and keep things short, but sorry in advance for the rambling on..... Long time lurker, finally able to post. I'm a life long garage rat, it's my happy place. I've always been "into" anything cars, trucks, RV's, boats, basically anything with an engine. Built many race and street cars...

Garage looks great Joe.

HEY, is this THE Joe Malucci ??? What's up dude ?!

My setup it somewhat similar. I just upgraded all my Florescent using these LED's >> Amazon, JESLED T8 T10 T12 8ft LED Tube Light, Single Pin Fa8 Base, 8 ft LED Bulbs, 50w, 5000k Daylight, 6000lm (100-130w Equivalent), 96" Dual Row LED Replacement for 8Foot Fluorescent Fixtures. ( Sorry I can't...
