    Can wind knock down my garage?

    Densifier and sealer before polishing?

    welding screen diy?

    I think this entire thread is humor pointed at the people that ask a question, get several good replys, but just waits for someone to finally agree with their half assed plan.

    Re: Das Laden Hacken First sign of progress. My builder has the permits! The zoning rules limit a garage at 12' of height which is ridiculous but I'm getting my 23'. I'm also getting away with a little more square footage than the math allows when you add up green space to building space. I...
