    sewage lift station

    i saw the little giant system after i posted this, this all sounds like a pain in the ****, the 6" raised floor option sounds better, the systems that work with this option are about twice the price than the little giant. i may just go with a grey water ejection for a bar sink and walk...

    anyone ever cheat on adding garage area?

    one idea is to use over sized trusses to hang out over the extra pad you are pouring. the structure would be the size the city wants but you still have a roof over the concrete area. what do you know, if you built it right you could move the walls in the future??, also suggest going as tall...

    Exterior or Interior Primer/Paint for Garage Walls?

    i use mismatched paint. can usually pick it up @ menards or sears for $2-5 a gallon, mix it up in a 5 gallon bucket and paint away. sort thru them until you find a couple of light colors. oil based would be nice for clean up.
