    Above 1200 Sq/FT MrBill's 30x50 garage/home renovation insanity

    Where there is a will, there is a way: 17 months on back order, then marked as no longer available by the manufacturer vs 6 days of my surfing the web for parts to build from scratch, 3 different vendors and venues to get all the bits and pieces to make it happen. Another project they said...

    Neighbor told me that rumors are floating around the neighborhood, something about a helicopter or drone landing platform being built in my backyard. :ROFLMAO: Todays progress, it really looks great, landscaping and plantings are also showing progress, but did not have time to get pictures...

    Todays projects wrap up the inside of the house. Office closet and record/media collection Library bookshelves and media wired up and working great. Finally the wine rack, was full when we moved out, but had a bunch of parties to attend and whittled what was stored in the garaged down by...

    That is a wrap, only 15 more tote/crates that we did not place in to storage to go through. Should be done by the end of the weekend.

    1940s garage is sagging - What's the best approach to attempt a fix?

    Metal roof building, this one appears to be a pretty generic style and build. I'd like to see what the inside structure looks like, framing of the roof structure, side walls, and of course above the garage door and the header for that opening so I can get a better idea of what you have on your...

    I was thinking it could be used as another place to park one of my convertibles :evil:

    Here are two ideas I've shown SWMBO so far. First would be a pergola: Second would be a gable end and covered

    9 month old American Standard/Trane 2 stage heat/ac hybrid imploding

    No need to lock out the compressor, at least not on my end, as the regular gas furnace is back to it's primary job, and that is to heat the house. Have been to the house several times (moving back in the next 7-9 days), also keeping track via the app, a few times a day, Compressor is no longer...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT MrBill's 30x50 garage/home renovation insanity

    Thanks for the thought, we are not planning for a giant outdoor grill/prep area with the kitchen and massive prep island just a few steps in the sliding door. Future 12x14 or 12x16 covered area will be mostly for shade/rain coverage situations. Besides, our existing, 3 year old stand alone...

    9 month old American Standard/Trane 2 stage heat/ac hybrid imploding

    Multimeter, laptop, and plethora of electronics, probes, gauges. Very well equipped.......I suspect they will want to swap the unit out, as they are supposed to be whisper quiet, and there is no coming back from that dying bearing/compressor. I further suspect without the video, I most likely...

    9 month old American Standard/Trane 2 stage heat/ac hybrid imploding

    As a follow up, the technician comes out this am, starts inside at the thermostat, hhhmmm, this doesn't look right, talking about the lack of the first stage unit firing (gas unit below 45 degrees) instead of the 2nd stage constantly running. Simple fix, we will just reset the parameters in the...

    9 month old American Standard/Trane 2 stage heat/ac hybrid imploding

    So, had a new American Standard (Trane) split system (hybrid) gas heating/AC unit installed early this year. Over at the house this morning and as I pull up to the house, can hear noise from the backyard. Thinking the patio crew is running an air compressor before 8am, I decide to investigate...

    Thursdays work on the backyard: Base for the steps are going in, these will be one step down from the house, then one step down to the patio and walkway. Screen for the AC Compressors is in, not really a form and function thing, but once the landscaping is planted around it, will offer a...

    I measured it out today, almost 1,700sq/ft, patio, raised seating walls, planting area, etc and so forth. A space for a future covered area (table/eating and shade for SWMBO). House wise, I bumped into one of the finish guys earlier today while cutting down the last of our storm damaged trees...
