I'd go with OSB, as it's less apt to warp. The "big box" T-11 stuff I used for my shed is OSB, and the faux carriage doors I made from it are reasonably straight. Since yours will be significantly larger, 1/2" T&G OSB would be decent. My doors are simple: stiles and stretchers are 1x6 along...

This 'thread' continues to amaze me. It touches on so many subjects I'm mixed up in with my own life, I'm compelled to page back and reread things, to see how you tackled something. This HUD repo I bought out of desperation, and am now trying to clean up as best I can? Peeling paint, which...

Subscribed for sheer curiosity. ICF is new tech as far as the folks around here are concerned, and any facts I can bust over an inspector's noggin will be great. :-)

If it's that close to standing on the J-bolt and a panel break, I'd step the actual stud to the side to clear the bolt, and 'sister' a 2x4 to it as panel nailer on the break. Structurally sound (unbroken column between plates) and greatest nailing area for the panels. My .02 YPU (Yankee...

Quick dig through the web came up with this: http://www.foundrysiding.com/products/siding/shake/splitshake which appears to be the stuff. I've been leery of vinyl siding for reasons of fragility in cold weather (shattered a panel with a rock tossed from a snow-thrower) and chalking from UV...

Stumbled across this thread today, very nice work and design! A quick question: what is the siding you're using on the shop addition and house exterior renovation? My home is a early 30's era bungalow sided with cedar shake, and that siding looks like a great compromise for the garage I'm...

Definitely following. 11 day build is pretty ambitious!

I can't say I've seen this place before. I'm new to the Garage Forum, but not to the Eastern Shore (Easton resident for 18 years). What county is this fascinating puzzle located in?

40 years ago, I dreamed of an aircraft hangar/apartment on 40 acres. There you are, living it. :bounce: If I'm reading that forum name correctly, greetings from a fellow member of the [H].

Have to admit, that one made me look twice. Brain started trying ancient combinations, because something looked familiar with that name. Slot cars. 1960's. Some name-related compound used to clean/treat the tires. Tiger Milk? :dunno: Back to our subject... :bounce:

I'd second LakeRoadster on the "trading wall space for overhead" comment, and suggest carriage house "outswing" doors. You don't lose wall space inside, and depending on automatic opener selection, you regain the overhead lost with the current standard roll-up. One supplier...

Having done two projects in this manner, "Bravo!" for an impressive run so far. It gives me a bit of heart to attempt it once again at 60+ years. Roofing doesn't scare me all that much. TBH, I'd rather do roofing than drywall. At least only satellites have to look at the minor errors every...
