somehow my wife got this idea instead of screen... http://www.coblemetalworks.com/Images/ironwork/miscelaneous_wrought_ironwork/forged_wrought_iron_interior_doors_gates.jpg Would be similar in style to the wrought iron fence we have going up in front of the garden that's pictured...

Cedar shake over the breezeway with the pergola type idea posted before...or cedar shake on the garage?

A "standard" green asphalt shingle on the house...could match them...but the wifey doesn't like green...

Picture time...comments/narration coming after dinner... Looking to the SW Looking to the NE Looking from the SE to the NW Little closer to the screen porch Floor plan...though the toilet and sink will be on the south wall Elevations...we are changing the dog house dormers to eyebrow...

garage will match the house...similar window pediments, similar eaves brackets, same siding, both house and garage will have asphalt shingles... I'd like the breezeway to match the screen porch but be style appropriate to the house and garage...I plan to redo the screen porch as the screen is...

There have been some changes...off that east side there is now a scabby screen porch...also a 4 seasons room on that side of the house...I'll have to try and take some more pictures... And thanks!

Here's the only picture I have available...kinda dated though... The screen porch is currently where the porch is pictured... No picture of the garage...just have a foundation right now... Plan to just screen the sides of the porch...will be 6' wide...18' long. 2 supports in the middle on...

Hi I'm looking for attractive ideas for a roof... I'd like to do a breeze way between my garage and a screen porch. The breeze way will be kind of a arched pergola type structure if that makes sense. The screen porch currently has the transluscent corrigated plastic...It works, and is...

Hi, So I got my foundation poured and back filled. I will wait until spring to pour the floor. What can I do to make sure the back fill settles appropriately? Right now I've been "soaking" it. Just with a garden hose and then gently pushing it into the soil...been able to get the hose 2-3...

That sounds smart...

yeah...I don't want to come off looking like I'm trying to take advantage of anyone...nor do I want to actually take advantage of anyone...

Hi I'm building a garage...got the foundation in this fall...stick walls go up next spring...I'm trying to round up some help...can you guys tell me if these thoughts are dumb/stupid/disrespectful... Situation 1 I rent out a house on my property. It has a 2 car garage. I share it with the...

Another question... If I know the size of my window...could I frame them up over the winter and then put them up on the roof when I put the wall and roof up in the spring? Thanks!

Hi, I'm putting a couple eyebrow windows on my garage...I'm toying with the idea of having someone make me up some stained glass ones. My thought would be to have the glass maker make it in a "standard" sized frame that would allow me to quickly replace it with a "standard" eyebrow window from...

Hi So, my garage plan is too big for village ordinances (1200 sq ft vs 900 sq ft limit)...so I'm going to attach it to the house with a breezeway. Because I'm attaching it to the house, the building inspector says I need them to be on frost walls. Now, I think the part of the house I'm...

Hi So, when building a detached garage and bringing electricity to it from the house... is the electrical usually brought up from the floor so I should have a line run out there before they pour the frost walls and floor or can i lay the line after they do all the concrete work and bring it...

That's kind of what I'm looking for too...what are the unknowns in excavating? Bid says dig for 180' of frost wall. What happens if they run into a house size rock under ground? It's still part of the 180' they estimated so in my mind that shouldn't matter...but at the same time I know that I...

I have one year to complete... I'm sure I'll get itchy to get it done...and if things work out, I will be able to get it done sooner...but just trying to have a back up plan...

Hi I got two quotes to dig up my yard for a foundation wall and to stub in floor drains, sewer and water (sewer and water are already at the location...just not at the exact spot) for my garage... They are significantly different... One quote was "not to exceed" $3500...if it's less I pay...

Hi I'm just looking for good breaks...or stopping points...which will allow me to gather extra cash to pay for the next stage of the build... Kinda figured I woudln't hit the sales at the store right at all...though I will be looking for them... Insulation will be in there...just not sure...
