Just let my guys drive it around, they'll rip it off

Just a little update as I havn't posted anyhting in a while. Got all the siding done and electrical in. Getting really close to a finished product. Let me know what you think

That price seams pretty good. Get 8' tall doors it isn't going to cost much more.

I did a garage addition not to long ago it was 65 12' sheets. Paid my plaster $3800 to hang and plaster. Your price might be a little high for drywall/ compound. Try offering them cash. I would also say if you decide to do it yourself pay someone to hang it. They ussually get 8-12 a sheet and...

I did a job where it was the same sistuation. During a very cold spell they turned the heat down in the bedroom above the garage. Pipes froze and broke in the bedroom filling the ceilling with water and dropping the drywall on top of there cars. Both cars had alot of damage and took $20k to...

I have used pretty much every construction nailer out there and prefer the Max superframer. Very small and light weight, fits in a 12" void. Great power for working with LVL's. http://www.acetoolonline.com/Max-SN883RH-Super-Stick-Framer-p/max-sn883rh.htm

go with the 8, the 6" will look very small with a gutter on it

If you run advanch with the floor joist it will come up short. It measures 47 1/2", 48" to the outside of the tounge

I am a big fan of the Elk/GAF shingles, get the 110mph wind rating. They also have a new ridge cap thats 3 layers and rated for 110mph, and make sure then install the caps with 2 nails per side

1x Azek trim

Started on the roof framing this weekend. Framed the gable walls then stood them up. Ridge is 2x12 rafters are 2x10. There will be a 3 pitch dormer on one side.

I did my own excavation due to having friends with equiptment. The walls are 10'6" tall plus the slab is set 6-9" down from there. Send me an email with your info and I will have Scott call ya. Also if you are looking to hire any of it out let me know I will be happy to give you some pricing...

Wayne, The garage is 24x30, 10' 2x6 studs which puts the ceilling height at around 11' +/-. Where in SE MA are ya? Scott from Short Pour foundations did it, he does all my concrete work. I think it was $3800 if I remember correctly.

I filled the web with 2x10 and it gets bolted. Ordered it predrilled. Cheaper and stronger then LVL

its a w12x35, and way more then I needed

As far as the town knows "storage". But I think I will store a pool table and 60" tv up there. Its 24x30 with a 10 pitch roof. There will be a shed dormer on the right side.

So after recooping from the site work side of the project its time to start on the framing. I am a contractor and have alot of friends in the field. Called in the troops and a couple favors and in a weekend got the walls up, beam set and 1/2 the floor framed. Check out the progress

Go steel for the beams. It will be cheaper and stronger then LVL/glulam. Then frame the 2nd floor with I joists. I love the moniter style barn

Try ******* 5/8" advantech up a ladder to sheath a 12 pitch colonial. I ussually don't stay awake past 8:30 those days
