I am in Maryland and have a 30x60x12 pole building with a concrete slab wrapped in DuPont Tyvek Home Wrap. I'd like to finish off a 30x20 section of it to condition the space for an office and some other stuff. I was going to finish one side by building a wall up to the bottom of the trusses...

I have a pole building, with tyvek home wrap stapled to the girts and all the seems taped underneath my exterior metal. I believe based on my climate I can do unfaced insulation on the interior walls without any kind of vapor barrier, then seal it up with another metal corrugated panel to...

Check out the Echo RB-60. Supposed to be significantly better than the Scott's Elite spreader and close to spreaders like Lesco or Spyker that are in $300-$600 range. It's what I'll be getting when the next sale hits. I'll use it maybe 3-5 times per year so a Lesco or Spyker is rough to...

I have a Rheem Pro Terra 80gal HPWH. With a three person household (Two adults and one toddler) we use about 5-6kwh/day on heat-pump only mode. Showers are morning and evening and are long (20 minutes or longer). We cycle the entire tank probably 1-2 times each day. Takes probably 35-40 mins to...

We have an 80 gallon rheem HPWH. If you have the space and money, go with the 80 gallon. We run heat pump only mode and you can get around 30 minutes on an unrestricted shower head (Around 3gpm). We don't do 3 showers in a row. If we did, everyone would take quick ones. Coming from a...

I think you were talking about my pics. He brought the 953 because it was Feb/March timeframe and the ground was still frozen solid. Top layer came up in big 5-7ft slabs, he wouldn't have been able to do it with a skid steer.

Just wanted to add some additional data if you need it from my building: 30ft x 60ft 30x 22 ton dump truck loads 4ft drop over the 60ft (It was pretty gradual, probably between 5-7%) I would call the fill a "pad mix" (said that on the paper), which seemed to be asphalt millings some fill dirt...

Here's a few starter points: Build up (Slab on grade or pole building)- Pro, you likely won't have to worry about drainage issues as much Con, Need to bring in material, compact it Con, Grading around the building could be severe depending how low the one side is. Con, If a pole building...

Used Armstrong Clark here as well. Honestly i'd try and give it a spray with a bleach/water mix in a pump sprayer and let it sit for 15-30 mins and spray off to see how it does before you try something mechanical like a pressure washer. Quick easy test and if it meets your needs it's easy...

I ordered a Grundfos SQ pump since I needed a soft starting pump so I could run off generator and didn't want to deal with something like a VFD controlled pump. Was a great decision and it's OD is actually 3" and not 4" if that matters to you. I installed a Lakos Sub-K on it and it does a nice...

Yep, ran some 3/4 and 1/2" the other day. Bought the M12 Milwaukee tool with the rapid seal expanders (This is a good bit pricier than the m12 with regular expanders) off a guy on ebay the other week for about $400 (Non-rapid seal you can get for $300 retail). Much faster and safer than...

Tyvek is an air and water barrier, it is not a vapor barrier. It stops drafts and you can spray water against it and it will not penetrate through (It actually will eventually if given enough time if you've seen Matt Risinger's videos).

I'm over in Frederick County and am having Pioneer put up a building this spring. We have a lot of Pioneer buildings in our area and all of the people I've talked with have been happy and the quality of the buildings have all been really good. 2) House Wrap - speced the building with REX WRAP...

Fiber isn't overkill and it's really not that much more expensive than the wireless (It actually is probably less expensive). Technically the cable you run from the radios on the p2p bridge to the switch you buy should be grounded and there is a specific type of wire and connector that have...

Both pole building places I had quote me spec 4/12 pitch for their corrugated metal roofs (Pioneer and Shirk). I'd like to do a 7/12 or 8/12 but it added about $4k to the cost...

I'd go fiber or Cat6A. Fiber if you are running in the same trench as power. That Nanobeam is probably going to get you 300M half duplex. For you cabling check out monoprice.com. If you need SFPs, check out fs.com. Cat6A: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=41485...

Siding will bow. I used PlyGem Veriform's solid classic beaded vinyl for my screened porch ceiling. It's more stiff than regular siding/soffit but I wouldn't want to put insulation on top of it. They optimally want you to nail that product every 12" still. You'd have to scab on a lot of wood...

I flush mine once a year, check the anode rod and actuate the over pressure valve. I don't think the previous owners ever checked the rod in the 5 years they lived here when the house was built. Pulled it out the first year we moved in and it was gone. Takes me about 30 mins. I'd do once a...

I’m zone 4a in Maryland.
