Somewhat heating/ac related (as we'll be going with a minisplit once complete): How should we insulate/install drywall onto the concrete walls? Should be build out a frame like a basement? Or continue to screw wood into the concrete, like the previous owner did? Pics for reference. Walls...

Closed on the house yesterday. The guy came to check out the shed, but said that he was unable to load it up on a trailer because of its height (it's a little over 16ft tall). He's going to come back with a crew sometime next week to disassemble/remove the shed in pieces. Not really a set...

Found a buyer for the shed. They're slated to pick it up the day we close. We outsource our lawn services, so it's a bit superfluous for our needs.

Thanks again! They recommended that we wait until after we move in (moving trucks and other contractors will be there shortly thereafter). We're scheduled to have it paved in the middle of May.

Question for those with more experience: how should we finish the exposed concrete? If you notice, the 2x4s currently on the wall are set up like furring strips; do we need to actually frame out the wall (like you would in a basement) or just continue with the 2x4 strips (apologies if this is...

haha We're back and forth about dedicating a section of the garage as our weight room as well. The alternative is the basement.

Thanks! That's a really neat idea! May end up building a small climbing wall for the kids. I don't have quite enough height for a basketball hoop.

Thank you! Will reach out to both of them.

Thanks! I'm happy to finally have the ceiling height for a full sized lift :) Thanks!

First priority will be to get the driveway (26x96) paved with asphalt. 469 runner or others familiar with the area, do you have any contractors that you trust to complete the work? I have an impending quote from Collegiate Sealers, but would like to compare prices/timelines. Thanks!

Yeah. The market here currently is wild. The house was on the market for 2 days (weekend), with offers due by Sunday night. Your former residence sounds nice. We may try to construct a detached at some point in the future. Thankfully, I don't have to deal with traffic (remote software developer).

Apologies for the ambiguity. The current apartment is in Fairfax. The new place is in Woodbridge (just over the water from Clifton). Thanks! Will add new/additional pics when we take possession.

My wife and I recently sold our house in West Virginia and moved back to Fairfax, Va to house hunt (two kids and two dogs in a two bedroom apartment has been fun haha). I'm getting a bit ahead of myself because the contract was just ratified (slated to close in 3 weeks), but I'm excited to have...

Cool car! A classic mini with a Honda engine is on my list. Ouch! That looked painful.

Sweet vehicles!

Love the Supra!

Such a unique setup. How much were the seat inserts, if you don't mind relaying the cost? This thread has me rethinking where to locate my office in our next house.

Can't have too many monitors. Love the cars too!

Love the cars!

x2 In for more/future updates :)
