I am still in the midst of a build and I am at double what I was budgeted. I was a TOTAL newbie and still have no skills when it comes to construction. In my case - my contractor overdug the footings by a foot - so that translates into more concrete, more wood, more siding, etc, etc. FWIW, Here...

2x8 Joist' should be enough to put in Kraft faced R30, R38 might be too thick. I put up R30 between my rafters and stapled to the joist as Steevo mentioned. I can personally attest that you will want to cover it up though....I havent got to dry all yet and I am already tearing the kraft facing...

nothing special here - 175Psi I/R 2-Stage compressor (80 gal) I build a utility room around it that is now completely insulated and drywalled inside and out. I will have 2 registers in the room for a return air vent for the furnace - hopefully I wont need any additional ventilation for the...

thanks again. Got all my collar ties in today, now complete at 24" centers. Glad I asked before I went to drywalling - or I probably would have had issues down the road!

bump - Any photos of your plywood plenum?

Wow, I had to re-read your post like 3 times to try and get my mind wrapped around that. I think I now understand what you are saying - other than what the deflection might be or if that is seriously important? I have 1" of airspace in all cavities going from the eaves to the top ridge vent so...

got it from a salvage yard that removed it from a condo. Since I saved money there - I should just call an expert to install it.

Electric circuit is there nowm I will be installing a register for ventilation.. I am just confused on how to properly mount the Furnace. I can put it on a shelf I assume (for access later) and just run a short piece of ducting to a vent that I cut into the wall. Or do I really need the...

I am closing in on finishing the Insulation and getting ready for drywall. As you can see I have a gable vent on both sides of the garage. My plan is to drywall from the eaves up the the Truss supports and then straight across. This will leave a "gap" in the center of the ceiling between the...

OK - I feel better now. Since no one answered my post as of yet its not an easy question to answer!!! I was feeling inadequate

I picked up a 10KW furnace from a company that salvaged from a condominium. Not sure how to mount the damn thing - see pics. I built a small storage room (6X6) for the compressor and heater, but can I have a hole cut in the drywall and just mount the heater up against it? also do I need a cold...

Finally got time for an update. Got insulation pretty much complete today, got the rough-in happening tomorrow....its been A process. Would I do it again? Yep!

I actually received a cashiers check once for a car I was selling. VERY legitimate fake. Called the police - who in turn got the secret service involved.... long story short - no way to trace them, they change IP addresses so often they cant tell who they are. They are mainly from South africa...

I am in central MO, running power to my garage at 70-80 feet. They wanted $1,000 to dig a 24" trench. I am renting a trencher for $150 and can do it in under a day. All material, labor plus a meter, disconnect box and a new 32 ckt loadcenter cost $2,500 I doubt there is a huge difference in...

POR-15 Just google it and you will find it easily

Finally - I am under roof....

OK - metal going up tomorrow was a few days ago....however, nothing EVER goes to plan. Anyways - got a lot of metal up today, started trenching for the main power supply. I was less than 10' from being complete with digging and the rented trench throws the chain. UGH!!!:lol_hitti Slowly, but...

i was looking for the WD (read on Lithonias site also) the ones on their site look the same without the big reflectors. those models are $165+ i definitely dont want dark spots..so my thinking (possibly flawed) is this: When I hang these with the chain I will pull up 1-2 links on one side to...
