Greetings to all those who appreciated my post about the Re-store. I just wanted to let everyone know that a member reported my post as a spam.... If this offended someone I am sorry it wasn't my intent to advertise the Re-store as I have nothing to gain from doing so... I was just so excited...

Nice job and great job showing us photo's of your process. I like it just the way she sits no need add paint.

I'm glad that I posted my experience at the Re-Store.. I can see that there are some that will benefit from this contact information... I just love this Forum as it brings us the opportunity to share our thoughts and our passion.

I was surprised how cheap I was able to get these cabinet pieces for .. I also purchased T&G Pine boards 12' long 6" wide for 6.00 dollars a piece.. I took all they had... I guess each store has it's own pricing... This was the first re-store I've been to and perhaps my timing was just right...

After spending a great deal of time investigating possible cabinet options for my 30' X 28' Garage I stumbled across what is called the Re Stores with Habitat for Humanity. I went to their website and there is a list of stores located in just about every state. I live in central Pennsylvania and...

I am so impressed with your layout. I am a big fan of pine and you did such a great job of establishing a warm look with total efficient use of space. I am hoping to use some of your ideas as I start building cabinets and shelves for my 30X28 8/12 pole garage with a loft. I wanted to let you...

CB Builders constructed my 30' X 28' garage 8' 12 pitch. Loft trusses. I had relatives help do the grade work and we all prepared for the garage concrete floor approximately 11 yards, plans called for 4" My brother and I framed in 2X4 walls on the first floor and built steps going up to the loft...

I really enjoyed your pictures.. Love the soft tones with the 4X8 sheets of pine. You did a great job of laying out your work bench and cabinets.. I am in the process of finishing my 30X28 Pole Garage with a loft.. I am in agreement with you of using plywood vs dry wall. I am using BC plywood...

This is how I framed my walls with 2X4's flush to the 6X6 posts I used a concrete nail gun to nail the seal plate to the concrete. I sealed the strapping and metal with tyvek sealed with tape and caulked at the base prior to setting up walls.. This is a 30' X28' 8/12 pitch structure with loft...

I am working with a 30'X28' pole garage with loft trusses 8/12 pitch steel roof and siding. It was constructed by Conestoga Builders with the typical strapping and 6X6 posts. I used tyvek to seal the the walls and used tape and caulking. Then I framed in 2X4 walls which allowed me to us R19...

Greetings, I have been working on the 30X28 Conestoga Pole Building with 8/12 pitch. I framed in the first floor with 2X4's and used R19 kraft paper insulation. I used tyvek for a vapor and wind barrier on the purlins and sealed with tape prior to inserting the bats. I was hoping that you...

I am in the process of insulating my new garage it is a pole construction 30' x 28' and I am seeking advice on insulating and using a vapor barrier. It is an 8/12 pitch roof sheeted with metal. It was not insulated prior to having the metal roof placed. I am looking for suggestions for...

Greetings, I am now in the process of insulating the 30' X 28' pole garage and I would like to look at pictures or get suggestions on ways to mount vapor barriers and then frame for insulation after strapping and steel is already on. Thanks, The Great Garage Surprise Jack Anderson

Ok I am assuming that a water cure means wetting down the concrete for 7 days in a row. Is that correct?

Did you use a sealer prior to using the epoxy? I guess I need to know if I should do something today as I poured the concrete on Friday. What products should I consider if I am using a sealer.. I am still confused about the difference between a curing compound and a sealer? Thanks, Jack

Ok how do you apply a curing compound? Do you spray it on with a pump sprayer?

I was able to complete the garage floor on Friday. Now after making the cuts what do you recommend for sealing the concrete? Should I attempt to hose down the concrete prior to applying a sealer? Can you apply the sealer with a spray pump? I understand that you should wait a year or so to...

Thanks... I've always like the song They Call me the Breeze... I spent the day preparing for the concrete which will arrive at 10:00 a.m. on Friday... My wife is finishing up with her 10th Chemotherapy session ( as of Friday) just two more to go. Your kind thoughts are deeply appreciated. Jack

Thanks for your response.. Yes.. we actually were talking about building a garage and cleared an area for it. My wife's sister's husband has professional experience logging and cut down some of the trees. Our cousin is a landscaping contractor, he cleared the stumps for a great price. My wife's...

Great site.. I am so impressed with the variety of expertise and friendly and human connections that exist at the Garage Journal... Thanks for your effort. Jack
