Yes, there is a slight overhang on each side of the top sill board. I would estimate it 1/2"-3/4" Yes it is hollow under the sill. I believe the 4x4 were placed 6' OC, or something close to that. The inside boards are used as the concrete form. The fill was brought up to the bottom of the...

I found an ad on Craigslist near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (bout 250 miles from me) featuring the wooden cabinets for sale. It was a laboratory furniture supply company. Talked to the guy who said they were trying to get rid of the last of some wooden lab cabinets that have been sitting in the...

It is common around here, exactly as you said... a "hybrid pole barn". They sink 4x4 post below the frost line (48" here) and add concrete in the holes. Attach 2x10s to each side of the posts, then cut the post off. Add a 2x8 on top of the posts/2x10s and then stick build off of that. The...

As to the lack of information in the original post, it didn't allow me enough characters to give full descriptions. I just figured if anyone had a specific question as to something I did that you see in one of the photos... just ask. I will do my best to answer. Sorry about the lack of the most...

A local hardwood supplier had 3/4" solid maple, tongue & groove flooring on closeout. I got it for $3/sqft. Glued them together. Clamped overnight. At first, I just layed it on 1/2" OSB, but I thought it was too thin... wanted a more "beefy" look, so I put 2x10 between the OSB and the maple...

Embarked on a project I have wanted to do for 10 years. Had to do a 24'x32' as that is the largest zoning will allow. Found a great builder who had it built in 4 days and another week to concrete. The building itself was finished in early November. Concrete sealed...

I might be interested depending on look and price. I am near Youngstown, so could come out and pick some up. Looking for about 10 feet of bases (doors and drawers) and 12 to 24 of wall cabinets. I want to look of laboratory cabinets such as these, taken from another thread: Lab Cabinets PM...

Just spent 3 days putting 3/4" plywood on my walls. 52 total outlets, about 22 single, double, and triple boxes. They are the adjustable ones that allows you to turn the screw to make them come in or out to be flush with your sheeting thickness. I found, especially with the 3/4" ply, to just do...

However bright an iPhone screen is, is how bright my emergency lighting is... :D

Have decided to sheath the interior walls of my new 24'x32' garage with plywood. I am aware of the ply v. OSB v. drywall debates (even the fire part) and have read many of them for the pros and cons of each, so I don't want to start that debate here... my mind is made up; plywood. Anyway, for...

Not sure if everyone who responded is following exactly what I am talking about. I am talking about placing two 15" widths of rolled insulation side-by-side in the rafter space (24"). Picture an open book and the left side is one roll and the right is the other roll. As the floor is clear I am...

Pricing out insulation for the garage. R-13 in the walls, 15" wide... no problem...$200 total for all the walls. As far as the ceiling... 24" wide R-30 is completely outrageous at $40 per roll. I can get 15" wide, R-30 for $11.87 per roll. Would there be any issues with stuffing two rolls...

I guess it pays to have friends in, around, or with experience in the gas business :rocker: 35' long, 4' deep trench using mini-excavator = $50 40' polyethylene pipe with 3/4" above ground risers & install = $275 Approx 60' of 3/4" black pipe, fittings, etc & install = $375 Total cost to...

Just recently completed a 24x32x10 shell (foundation, walls, roofing, garage doors, gutter, trim, and man door). Concrete was done by the same builder as the garage with an added 240 sq ft of concrete in front of the doors. Just garage = $13.80 sq ft Garage + concrete = $19.53 sq ft Wiring...

Ok, I am officially confused... I just bought a 75K Beacon Morris for my 24x32x10 in NE Ohio and the garage will be well insulated. Gonna keep it at 50° when not in there. I am second guessing myself and thinking about driving the 70 miles (that's the closest Menards) and exchanging it for the...

I just bought the 75K unit at Menard's and the box says up to 2500sqf but also say for 2 or 3 car garages... that's a ton below 2500sqf. So now I'm confused. By the way, I live in NE Ohio, so similar climate. I have a 24x32x10 that will be well insulated. After much reading on here I read...

THANKS, so much for posting this! I was going to get one in a few weeks and because of your post, went to the Massillon, Ohio store and got a 75K unit today.... $133 off!!!!! Thanks again!

Just ran into this last week with my two fans; learned a few things while researching it. I put in two Westinghouse Industrial 56" fans, no lights, no reverse. They each come with a five-speed controller, but these controllers were cheaply made, surface mount junk. I wanted to control them from...

I just picked up three of those same lights (or an exact copy). They are from northerntool.com. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200485122_200485122 They are high quality and rated for outdoor use (aluminum powder coated). I plan on mounting them on each side and middle of my...

Been lurking for a few months. Have gotten some GREAT information here for my recent build. The garage itself is done, finishing the gravel driveway this weekend. Now on to outfitting, electrical, gas, heat, insulation, etc. Will be around here everyday to get some good ideas for this part. My...
