Some of the meatl roofs use galvalume here. There is a weatherproof membrane under the meatl that seals any screw or nails the go through the roof. It's called Weathermaster Polyseal.

Mike13u, You are correct on all points! Everything must meet or exceed Dade County regs. I just bought a commode yesterday, It satisfies ADA rulings! Too high for me but some ADA guy, who will never visit will be happy! Back to the roof. I just got a bid in for a standing seam .032 aluminum...

I just got another bid in for 26 gauge 5 rib. $7,300. 45 year coastal warranty. I am three blocks from the intracoastal. About two miles from the ocean. I am well aware of the salt corrosion effects and wind damage potential. I've been up against that with the Town through this whole project...

Car Crazy Guy, Thanks for the info. I was thinking for my roof that $3,000 for materials would be about right. $7,000 for the install labor I thought a bit high!

Thanks for your reply Racecarl. I have Polyseal Weathermaster laid down already waiting for the metal. Your price seems to be more in line for the metal.

I'd sure like that Chevy gas pump! How cool is that?

I have a new construction garage. 24' by 28' feet with two small dormers. The entire Gambrel roof is approximately 1235 square feet. I was asking for cost estimates for standing seam or five rib metal roofs and one roofer stated the standing seam is the Cadillac of roofs......app $10,000! I'm...

I use my old, 1970's vintage, tuner with 12" box speakers. Works good enough for me. I only use music for background noise in the garage.

I agree with the DrDave philosophy of life. Pursue what you enjoy and the benefits will follow! I applaud the concept and bringing to reality!

Very nice sign!

I guess I'm old school. Blue Dickies or Work Wear pants and whatever old T shirt is handy.

I am in the process of building a 24' by 28' 2.5 car two story garage in Florida right now. The Gambrel trusses alone were $6500.00. The windows, hurricane resistant, are $650.00 each. The garage door was $3000.00. Nothing is cheap or free and it all adds up...quickly! Worse than a B.O.A.T...

Very nice sink! I'm looking for something like that too! Lowes has a plastic deep well POS sink that I was considering. $100.00 I'll have to look around for a used metal one.

Looks good! I'm building a 24' X 28' garage right now. Pics soon. What more do you need in a garage than a couple of tool chests, a motorcycle, a tv and a refrigerator! Thanks for posting!

New Smyrna Florida

I will probably do the 1 minisplit condenser with two inside evaporators. The two rooms are large and open. Prices have come down quite a bit on the mini split systems! Looking at Mitsubishi and Fujitsu. They have good reviews. Thanks for all the help. Much appreciated! Still have to think...

I mentioned 672 square feet but its two floors so it's actually 1344 square feet! My mistake.

Thanks for the input!

Here is the latest picture from 3-14-11. The back half of the roof is sheathed. The front half is destined for two dormers with plywood to follow. It sure looks a lot bigger now!

Re: Making Numbers on Tools stand out! (a how too thread) Good idea. Thanks!
