    The Birdhouse Porch build

    The 32" TV mounts in the top right corner. You can see the HDMI cable running from my FIOS box in the basement. I have an Logitech RF remote that handles everything.

    My sweet 10x20 "M" Garage

    This thread is old, but I finally got around to organizing some stuff around so I can fit the car in the garage. It might not look like it in the other pictures, but I have 3' of standing space in front of the car and enough on the left to get in and out and walk around the car. On the right I...

    The Birdhouse Porch build

    The standard white vinyl ceiling you see on porches is going up once the rough inspection for the electrical is all done. I should have the electrical done this weekend.

    The Birdhouse Porch build

    The door is in the background against the house. I still have to put up a 36" 4x4 then hang the door. I ended up buying a pocket door track for the door with the crazy idea that I will have it slide open (to the left of the picture). Not sure how a latch or spring system will work. I like...

    The Birdhouse Porch build

    The pitch is 1/12 and the roofing is rolled rubber that was cold glued down. The roofing company uses the same roofing for buildings with a flat roof. The 14x18 roof section was around $800, but I had the rest of the house done at the same time. The rafters are 2x6 and everything was approved...

    Can't Get Anyone to Follow Thru With A Quote

    I was going to point to a similar setup by these guys. They can build on site if you want taller walls. http://www.mysheds.net/6-pitch-roof-garages.asp

    The Birdhouse Porch build

    Did I post this under 'Fabrication & Techniques' or did it get towed from The Gallery?

    The Birdhouse Porch build

    Sofits, siding and fascia work was completed today. The gutter goes on next week. They are the only items that I hired out besides the rolled roofing.

    The Birdhouse Porch build

    I have permits to install a ceiling fan with lights and some outlets on the porch. That old grey conduit was there before and I just have to run a new wire to that light somehow. I'm going to raise the light further up the house too. The plan is to put a TV on the top right against the house...

    The Birdhouse Porch build

    Thanks! The bugs **** around here during the summer... The 4x4 posts of the deck itself are overkill with that 4x6 beam going the width of it. Under the deck are three 6x6 posts on concrete which should be plenty. I'm going to add two 4x4 posts anyway. The plans were drawn up, submitted to...

    Basement floor humidity issues

    Thanks for the help guys. After speaking with 2 flooring people and doing more research right now I am thinking this padded underlayment because it has a built in moisture barrier and is antimicrobial. Perhaps I can rip up the VCT and roll it on top, but then should I still apply a moisture...

    Basement floor humidity issues

    It's not. It's a house built in the 40's and all but the top 1.5' of basement block is below grade. The floor us usually pretty cold so that would explain moisture collecting on it. But it seems that the moisture would be coming from under the tiles if it's lifting up the corners? The...

    Basement floor humidity issues

    I know its not a garage, but hopefully there is enough floor know-how here to help me out... My basement is currently partially finished. The walls are painted with drylock and there is a french drain installed under the slab. When I moved in the floor was old tiles that were sealed over with...

    The Birdhouse Porch build

    Here are some updated shots. The house was roofed and the rolled roofing was installed on the porch (cold application). I removed the fascia in the earlier pictures since it looked like **** anyway and I'm going to have a pro come in and do the finish work. I'm thinking I'm going to rip the...

    Floppy Roof

    I just built a porch with a 1:12 roof and was approved for 2x6s with a 16" span and a 12' run. The header is a 4x6 and I have 4x4 posts every 4' which is a bit overkill. I'd double up the 2x4's if you have no other choice.

    Getting a wireless signal out to my attached garage.

    I would try to see if something that supports the N protocol would work first. It has 10x the range of the normal G stuff. Replace your existing router with an N one and make sure the card in the garage supports it too.
