yeah, she wants a place to hang a porch swing out in the yard, so yeah, good idea, just wish she woulda said something before I had the facia board already attached. right now the shed is only about 3.5/12 pitch, the porch part will only be about 2/12, but only stick out about 6 foot.

I did screw up setting the center posts on the ends tho. I set them offcentered to the front, that way I could attach the ridge pole to the back side of the posts. well it all worked fine, but when cutting the rafters I discovered my math was off, the roof it 1 inch longer in front than in...

I knew that would come up......:D but no, not really. in all actuality, I should be worried about it, on paper, but 1, 12 foot trusses are way overpriced 2, I keep going back to a room addition my grandpa did many many years back. 16 by 16 room, 1 by 6 ridge pole, and 2 by 4 rafters, 4/12...

sounds like a nice sized build, keep the pics coming

this stuff isn't T1-11, it's a hardboard type stuff, T1-11 is notorious for doing exactly what you are saying. As far as the Z strip, I am not using it (couldn't find it at Menards), so I will be be covering the joints where gable meets the walls with 1by4's, as well as the corners of the...

timeline on Barn so far, Saturday, Two 60+ mile round trips to Menards, one trip to home Depot (only about 10 miles round trip) then Saturday evening, marked ground and squared up spots for posts. Dug post holes, did best to plumb all posts, braced with kickers and put on 2 rows of perlins to...

2 rows of block, I come up with what 84 block per course? so at $5 per block (block, plus morter, plus labor) so I come up with $840. add in the extra fill, and most likely extra labor to excavate deeper, I honestly don't see where he's screwing ya. Yeah it ***** to have to pay more than you...

Since I can't afford to build my new garage this year, or most likely by next year either, I am building a bigger shed in the yard to hold the lawn mowers, garden tools, etc. 12 by 16, but building it polebarn style. doing that for a few reasons, mainly cost. Also, I will not be putting a...

this is nice looking. and I agree, almost too nice for a garage workbench. Planning on making something simmilar to that for my kitchen in the near future Great job

A buddy of mine bought one of the prebent steel framed carport kits, I think 16 by 20. he bought some extra polebarn metal and completely enclosed it, and put in an overhead door on one end and a 36 inch entry door on the other end. Not counting the cement floor, I think he said he only has...

Re: What did you do to your garage today? I walked out, looked at the stack of trim I painted a couple days ago for my bathroom, thought about getting started installing it, then thought better of it. I did sweep up a pile of cigarette butts gathering by the overhead door.

I've never built one of the reclaimers, but have had one, they are actually quite simple, pretty buch a small heat exchanger and a small blower

dont have any pics, but a guy I use run with made one out of 2 engine stands. he used it when welding and painting his race car frames and cages

don't know what color it is supposed to be, but I had one like that several years ago. I spray painted it with Rustoleums "aluminum look" metallic silver paint and used a blue paint marker to do the lettering
