Cut out notches in my stem wall for the garage door framing (2x6's for the garage door to attach to).

And yeah I'm still going to pad it out a bit, but less than I'd have had to otherwise.

3 out of four done and I'm beat. But that grinder and diamond wheel was the sh*t. Like butter. Thanks beemer!

Thanks Beemer, I think I'm going to give it a shot!

Yeah I was prepared to wrap the opening - looking at my little 4 1/2" angle grinder and wondering how long that's going to take to cut/chip out! (I have the lumber already from construction)

Sublimate, I'm not too worried about losing a couple inches, though I hear you. As far as the stucco goes, that's typical Arizona procedure, you just sort of deal with it.

So... Simple solution? Frame it out with a 2x4 in between - it brings the stucco back around a little more and I lose a couple inches around the door of internal space, but no concrete cutting and the door track should clear it. What do you guys think?

Cowboy - hadn't thought about using an angle grinder -- good idea. I do think I'll get the door guy to look at it first but good to have an option.

9' x 8' rough opening

I'm prepping my garage for the garage door install, and I'm putting in the 2x6 framing around the inside for the track to mount on, and I realize this: I can bring the 2x6 down to that stem wall but did I get screwed when it was poured? (I've been playing GC on this project - emphasis on...

Hi Jon, I had never heard of such a unit; what sizes do they come in and how do they install?

So I got the final quote from the electrician today: $4k for everything except any potential saw cutting while running the feeder line from the house to the sub panel. That includes: - the 70+ ft run from the main panel, through the attic, down the house and under a sidewalk, then 20' trench...

Man, sweet anvil!

Almost finished the roll around base for my miter saw. Just need to clean the doors and attach them.

Miter saw cabinet complete. :drinkup:

Shade - well I guess we'll see. Technically I'm not sure with my design I'm allowed to "install" AC - due to limited available insulation space between the TJIs, but I will definitely look into it.

Quick lunchtime project -- started to reinforce some old bathroom cabinets to be used as roll-around bases for tools. Added the 2x base and supports to this cabinet that will become the base of my miter saw: Will add some HF casters and a 2x top shortly.

Oh one more small feature: rather than bother with full HVAC, I've got a roll-around AC that is pretty powerful. This weekend I also installed an exterior vent with 6" to 5" reducer to run the AC vent out of: (The 2-bys are there to give the stucco doe thing to run up against. I'll paint...

Thanks Garageman

Hey folks, Quick update - I was procrastinating deciding whether to divide the garage or just hang a welding curtain up to protect the wife's van, and Finally decided I'd rather be safe. So this weekend I framed out a wall between the two bays. Rather than frame a door I left a 4' opening -...
