The door falling? Yeah, that's why I'm saving the security camera footage until everything is resolved with the doors. I'm not seeking a lawsuit, but I don't want to be left with $750 in parts I never should have been sold! They should have never sold me that EZ-SET winder system with the door I...

Nightmare on my house!😥 The (first) replacement (second) $3,000 security patio door arrived at my local builders store from a Jeld-Wen East Coast manufacturing plant. They wanted to schedule the delivery, so I went in to inspect (again) every corner and nook on this large heavy door (1/4...

Snow...,🥶 they cancelled school until Monday! The wife and kids will all be home.., all day, for 120 hours straight.😕 And I'm left with (a newly legal) garage, with projects to be done, all the that potential family time, and.., I'll just be..., BUSY out there!😂 My son will have to use the snow...

PASSED my Final Building Inspection!🎉 Got the Garage Door finished with the High Lift Kit installed. Using traditional Garage door bearing plates and 250x2x35 torsion springs.👍🎉 (I'm going to remove the EZ-SET system from my 9x7 door later this Spring and install traditional 207x2x30 torsion...

⚠️The 16x8 (378lb) garage door fell on me⚠️ Mostly from my own stupidity working alone, but there was a part failure, and I could have been badly hurt. If you skipped to the end TLDR: I couldn't afford professionals to install my siding or doors, I'm installing them my self with friends &...

I was able to finally finish all the siding to the gable peak last month with my Father-in-Law, that task is completed and closer to a building inspection and PASS! No my original plan before doors was a minor failure (it gets much worse later), I could get enough room to squeeze them behind...

🤷🏻‍♂️ It shouldn't be a problem, they don't usually play in the snow. But the prior garage that burned down had a similar basketball hoop for the last 30+ years and never had a problem with the siding.🍻 This should actually be better than the prior basketball hoop that was just drilled into the...

Workbench structure is done, just need to borrow my Dad's truck. I finished these cabinets next to the garage door where there is barely any space and stuff would just get left on the floor. 12 inches was almost too deep, but it fits.👍 Can't do too much until the Siding on the back gable end...

Back to a good weather day, tomorrow starts a 10+ day period below 20°F. I finished the basketball hoop for the kids.👍 (still need to fit the vent and fire alarm) Then I started to rebuild my work bench (without a middle post). I decided NOT to purchase a $500 side cabinet for my tool chest...

Yesterday was a good weather day, almost 50°F, I finished the siding on the front of the garage, but after sunset.👍 Knowing I'd wake up to a cold heavy rain all day. But I can rest knowing the front siding is completed, here is a rain soaked morning progress picture. (Center blocks are for the...

I intentionally avoid Lowes at all costs, I think it's terrible service to leave all their grills, mowers, snow blowers, etc sitting outside on the rain with a giant bike lock cable. Menards sold me a brand new snow blower still in the crate, I had to fold up the handle bar section and a few...

I've made some good progress with the vinyl siding in December considering it likes to crack in colder weather. I can probably finish the front this week with the warmer weather (depending on rain (since the front has a firm concrete base). However the rear will require the 6in adjustable...

On July 25th 1978 Janet Parker spent an extended time in the photograph research room at the University of Birmingham ordering photographic materials because the financial year was about to end. That same day just below her; Henry Bedson, head of the University Birmingham Medical School...

I'm having the worst luck with Doors! I want to talk about the garage, but I'm so disheartened and depressed about my patio door. Along with the garage (planning & financials) I also ordered a (very nice) rear patio sliding door for my house, we've had every other window replaced recently with...

My cheap 8 gallon (oil less) rebuild air compressor is dying, I think it just needs a new valve between the tank and compressor head, but we'll see.🫤 This was only meant to get me past rebuild, until I'm moved back in. But I have still have the 2 main roll up doors to install (waiting on parts)...

They "Fixed" my floor drain, but with as little effort as possible. I purchased a Gray drain cap before they returned, they brought a Green & Black drain cap exactly as I already purchased. But 80% of the flange lip was destroyed. So they cut off the bottom of the Green drain at a 45°, then set...

Still working on the new Garage, but had to add some matching LED lights for the holidays!

Friday started badly, (according to them) the forklift driver as well as the delivery driver dropped off 2x4x8s. But they didn't check the plans or "notice" the 2bys were only 8 feet long, and spent half the day making my garage with 8ft walls. I get a knock on the door and they proceed to tell...

I don't really have a great options for my stuff, either it's in a 10x16 (tent) canvas "Shed" behind my new garage (construction site) that zips fully closed, but that is very low security zipper and canvas. During teardown and construction I had no other option, some of the new tool...

We got 2 sides of the vinyl siding finished, and I got my (per) holiday lights up before the cold and snow begins. That's the bulk of the siding, and the easy flat sides without any doors or windows. Got my wife parking inside. There's room for 4 cars, but I've got my scaffolding, miter saw...
