New length would have to be 8.671875 for same volume at 4" ID.

I think he's just letting us know there is possiblilty of fire spreading from either or (the garage to house, or house to garage) w/o the fire wall, even though it meets code if done when built. I have valuables, but if I can get my wife and guns out of the house, and the truck out of the...

I appreciate it. But what was the change, adding a firewall between the garage attic and house attic? The garage was finished in 5/8" fire retardant sheetrock during the construction of the home.

I inquired with my home inspector, and he said that I could put in a vent and meet code. This is because the garage is finished with 5/8" fire resistant sheetrock and a 2hr burn door into the house. He also said that older homes don't have to meet the current codes (not sure what all is involved...

Livin in MN, what are you doing for a vapor barrier? Do you have drywall or OSB up?

OK, finally got time & $ to get this done this week. I've got a 22x22 attached garage that was finished when the home was built, so there is no fire wall and the attic is open above the whole house. Only access to attic is in garage. When built, the garage section was not insulated, so it's...

BA HA HA HA.....that was good:bigun2:

I like I like!

I talked to a buddy who's family runs one of the local HVAC companies in the area, and he stated as long as their is not a return, there wouldn't be any issues with fumes. He did say if the garage is tight, then w/o having a return, all you're doing is pressurizing the garage, and at some...

Yep, I hear ya on the surprises. The weather was great yesterday to get up and knock off the ice. I got close to 50% done, and I'm hoping to get somemore done today after work. Thanks for all your guys helps, opinions, and motivation:beer:

Well the first 1-3' of snow has been removed around the perimeter of the house, exposing the solid ice beneith. Hopefully with the warmer temps tomorrow (currently -15 w/ wind chill here) they will melt down, and the rest of the snow comes off in sheets. I am not so worried about the weight of...

Yep, I was running heaters through my head on my way home today. Got to wondering what is out there on the market, then realized that money is already spent on more insulation for all of attic and garage:thumbup: But wow, 2', I love snow and winter, but I would die removing a perimeter of snow...

I'll have a look in the attic after I get off work today to see if anythings happening. Any recommendations on how to get the ice damns apart? The more I think about it, I have to get them off the roof!

Well we've been dumped on pretty decently this year in Northern Ohio, and I starting to wonder about the load on the roof of the garage and house. The home is only 5 years old, with a finished garage with sheet rock. The attic space is completely open (no fire wall btwn. house and garage), with...

Lets see it!

Me neither, sorry man. I would call local LP company or HVAC and inquire as to what they know about it.

Yep, I will be looking for a use one. We just bought the home 3 months ago, so in due time.

Well my propane supplier says I have to buy the tank, then I can install one but they don't recommend it. I started laughing when I asked how much for a tank!

Yep, the grill gets moved depending on where I'm working. If I'm in the house then it gets used on the back covered patio. If I'm working in the garage, it gets moved to the driveway/sidewalk :beer: All depends on where the action is and how much precip. has fallen.

Ok, so if storage is minimal, what happens when you need to get into the attic to run wiring, fix leaks, etc. I weigh 210lbs, is it safe to be stepping on the trusses?
