Door size 10 X 8, I don't remember the brand nothing special

It's been a long unproductive summer as far as the garage goes. Starting to gather parts needed for garage/house boiler project. hopefully might have some heat by midwinter :). Piping from garage to house needs to be replaced for a much larger one, this was due to not really knowing what I...

Best tip would be to rent or borrow one of those good laser levels. This will tell you which walls to follow if a wall is off. Cushions on your helper sticks, strings to get nice straight screw lines.

Time for an update. Insulation was finished, steel was orderd on Monday waiting for the weekend. Friday after work grabbed some long planks and headed for the steel. longest sheets are 13'7" not a good match for a short bed crew cab pick-up. Saturday morning went to Lowes picked up laser torpedo...

Still plugging along, about 80% done with the insulation.

I have a portion of my ceiling to insulate, below my attic area. The space of the bottom cord of the truss is 5 1/2", I could use fiberglass insulation R-21, or 3 layers of Dow blue board R-27. The ceiling will be finished in metal so I'am worried I might have water vapor that can't migrate up...

It's been a couple of months with no progress, due to no cash flow :sad:. This past week had seamless gutters installed. I also bought some insulation and started putting that up.

"J" channel would possibly collect water and moisture I bent a pcs of metal that goes behind the cedar and rest on the sill stone.

Materials are $11.00 SqFt installed them myself.

Slow progress lately, poured the front sidewalk, installed some drainage pipe, and seeded the front and back.

All home centers should be able to get it or a contractor supply house thats where I purchased mine. As for installation" Google "cultured stone and most companies will have instructions and video's. The one I used is made by Boral who bought out Owens Corning. Overall it wasn't hard just very...

Yea, but no car to put in it. The stone is a fake veneer...

This weekend I started the cedar along the front :)

Last weekend finished putting up the last of the metal

This weekends progress report

Yes we did alot of the work, and alot of help from friends and family, took 2 1/2 years to finish.

Thanks hpw, your the only person who voted so metal siding it is. Thanks for the reply.:)

Looking for votes on siding for the north side (side with entry door and window). Steel or cedar, cedar will also go sbove the stone. Problem I'am having is as you pull up to the house you primarily see this side and the front. Initially I wanted the garage to be totally maintenance free as I...

Worked on the south side this weekend, pre-cut lengths worked very well again. Work went into slow motion doing the upper level cutting along the gable end. Dosen't help working alone either, I have to congradulate those on this site who have done a lot of the work themselves.:bowdown:

Finished the back wall today, everything went well. The panels where orderd to size so I had no cutting which really sped things up.
