Sounds like I'm on the right track, then. In my case, I'm trying to keep heat in, and rain out. I'm thinking that, in my application, annything over R8-R9 will not help any more. It's a big room.... While the R15 door might be nice, I'm thinking that it will not do any better then an R9 door...

I've been doing some shopping for garage doors. I've come to conclusion that I'm hoping someone can prove, or disprove. My main door is rather large. At 18w by 14h, it's the biggest door I've seen used in an everyday house application. This pushes me into the commercial door market. The...

Exactly!!! Mamabear has made it abundantly clear that she want's to push a button and have the door go up and down. As this is our main enterance, it has to be good. Now, the trick is balancing cost over performance. It's really tough to do.

I'm plans call for a 18x14 garage door. I know I'm looking at about 3K for the door, and about $350 for the opener. This does not include instalation. Doors considered are: Northwest Door Wayne Dalton Both companies offer a light commercial door that won't look too bad as a residential door...

Well..... Maybe I only thought I knew what to do. I don't think I understand some of the written discriptions. I guess I need to post a few pics. Walls: The walls are up. Currently, I have stick frames with t-111 on the outside. There's no vapor barrior, yet. It's a very simple shell, so...

All, I'm in the process of adding on a 37x40 attached garage. I'm waiting on trussess, now. During this time of waiting (it's killing me), I'm thinking of how to insulate the walls and ceiling. I think I can figure out how to insulate the walls, but insulating between the rafters...

After a quick look, it appears that Bio-diesel would burn well in the Mr Heater units. Now, it may not be cost effective to burn bio-diesel, as it's generaly more expencive. But... If you happen to be making it, and have some extra.... Bio-diesel in a larger forced air heater may be the hot...
