I see all ply quality getting worse every year. 8 or 10 yrs ago the 9 ply I would use for drawer construction (apple ply) I only wish I could get today! I do work tops several ways, using 1 1/4-1 1/2 industrial board cover with laminate or epoxy coated then edged with hardwood or white melamine...

Good thing you said "car",not the plural...was thinking that's way too much and still get two cars. lol For that diversity of stuff maybe a custom mobile rack(s) for some of it in case you get another car down the road?

For an inside garage job like that just paintable latex caulk on the small cracks. Deep/wide gaps (over 1/4") I prefer a urethane caulk (np1, vulkum, etc..). Best anyway to have a few tubes of each when doing that sorta stuff. Do small cracks first then cut tube down for wider gaps. Finger is...

Also, question: Did the issue with the concrete start or correlate in any way with grading the earth up (ramp) up like that? Good idea to take note when you dig down fixing concrete whether dirt there is wet or dry.

Easy fix for the loose concrete, but problem still exists with that "earth ramp" you have going on there. The siding on left being so low is the issue, with grade sloping to it is inviting termites and rot. Small retaining wall? Maybe, but see some possible issues there too. I'd tear that...

Interesting, but too bad so pricey ($115.00ea). Apparently been around 10 years or so but I haven't heard about them before and never seen them used myself.

I sleep better having IP video recording 24/7 in addition to alarms and extra insurance. Police typ just fill out report and want to be done with it, I want to know happened and who done it. ....without video I would have never seen that county snowplow take out my mailbox, which they...

CL is being exploited by scam artist from all over the world! My most recent was selling wife's tablet, guy overseas saying he sent payment to my PP acount then sent phony paypal statement then demanded I send item blah blah.....FBI...blah blah! what an idiot. I never responded after initial...

Doing addition requires a lot more design effort as compared to just a detached. There is the added challenge of blending it in to the house style so it doesn't just look like an add on.

Yeah, ditto. Likely it was never compacted to begin with also. Looks like easy fix to just pack some conc mix in there after cleaning it out, but need to correct the cause which looks to be run off. OP, You might get a PIC standing back some so whole stoop area is in view. Something does not...

It is getting too common to see construction where the site was dug out today and poured tomorrow. Good compaction cost additional time and money so like every other aspect of our society it's on the chopping block. Takes an informed buyer like yourself to get it done right these days.

Might check out white scrim. Comes in rolls and has a matching tape (sticks incredibly well). No weight, easy to replace if damaged or patch w/ matching tape if torn, low cost per sf.etc... I used perforated white to cover my cathedral ceiling insul job but haven't gotten around to doing the...

What you want is some kind of feedback at receiver showing status of each door if it's in the up or down position? Seems simple enough. Maybe a light panel with simple ckt. that looks at the electronic eye signal of ea door. If it's an attached garage and you can wire it, I would always favor...

It is a tough business. I have passed many a GC job for lack of trusted sub's and instead only offer what I myself can do (and control quality of). It's also a disturbing trend that's been getting worse for a long time. See it in all business's too, eliminate the knowledgeable employee's and...

Nice job! Anxious to see your progress. Like the overhangs, two tone and colors. Door trims add a nice touch. Interesting re getting permit for the breezway, lol. Have to remember that trick! Clearly you did your homework. I would do some proper landscaping along side's so mowers don't do...

Hey, Didn't mean to sound put offish or anything so hope you didn't take it the wrong way. Seems if you ask a dozen people..., kinda things.:lol_hitti

Ceiling- I did mine as you say. Take a look at my album as what you want I did and it's been 5yrs no problems. I do however have a ridge (fiberglass) skylight sealed well and multiple layers of additional clear poly built inside so it is possible I get some vapor exit thru it. Hard to know. Had...

Personally I would only run metal roof to 1/3 the gutter width past facia, but opinions prob vary on that. Too much and can't get your hand in to clean out...Get some cheap gutter guards or some foam that cover's just the drop holes and then not such a worry as often. Even those cheapo screened...

Kels, Could have been a misunderstanding where what they really meant was to just fill the area as full as framing allowed (not over pack) as you would think a metal building company would know better....but these day's companies fire the smart people so they can hire cheaper know nothing...

With tight $ situation and concrete being new I would do the sealer. That sealer in the long run will hide better and make cleanups much easier. Smart of you to be doing it now, but didn't the conc guys offer to do a sealer when they poured?
