    Mike's Garage

    Thanks, I have one more post to bring it totally up to date, but I'm having trouble with the pictures for some reason. I do look forward to it functioning as it should. It doesn't just yet.

    Mike's Garage

    This is my wifes’ sewing room as it was several years ago. It’s the most finished part of the building although it needs wood trim and flooring still.

    Mike's Garage

    I put all the flooring for the second floor up there by myself and laid the vast majority of it alone, but I needed help getting the drywall up there and my grandson was the lucky guy that got to help with that. He, my wife and my nephew helped hang it.

    Mike's Garage

    One of my grandsons helped me put up the long pieces of siding on the right side of the building. I don’t think there are any pictures of that side. My nephew was my savior in doing the siding on the back gable end. My wife did all the painting. She won’t allow me to. She says it takes too long...

    Mike's Garage

    I hired a contractor to put up the brick since I have no masonry skills. The brick had been on the property since we bought it. It was intended for the old building, but was never installed. The height to the wainscoting was decided by the number of bricks I had. It was very carefully...

    Mike's Garage

    I did the framing and lower sheathing mostly alone, but I did get a bit of help here and there from my grand kids and my wife. I had done a lot of favors for a guy and he and a buddy of his were to help me for a day to get this back wall done. I got a couple of hours out of them, then the girl...

    Mike's Garage

    The contractor did the demolition and then built the new structure. These pictures show how it was left for me. Basically it was a large car port with a conventional roof and garage doors on it. The structure is 40’ X 48’ and I don’t remember the height (19’?), but it is 2” inside a deed...

    Hi, I’m Mike and my garage/shop is in Rendon Texas just south of Fort Worth. I’m starting this thread mostly to help keep me accountable for making progress, but also because I’ve enjoyed looking at other people’s progress and ideas so I’ll add to the collective. I will mostly cover the garage...

    Looks good. Where did you get your equipment? Did you have any trouble getting a contractor to work with you on the start up?

    Storage shelving door ideas needed

    I'd probably use sliding doors for that. You can get hardware at most home centers and make your own using plywood or something similar. Is that a T Dub?

    Home AC advice

    11 to 24 degree differences between ducts is concerning. How are you getting supply temps that are 5 degrees above return temps? These are just the start of the questions that come to mind and they really have to be answered. You will never hit a 75 set point if you have supply air as high as 81...
