    Well it has begun, 30x40 pole barn garage

    That looks like ground contact rated not in ground rated. I believe in ground rated is around .25. I wouldn't use them unless you have a bracket on the concrete that stands the post off the concrete 1".

    What fastener to mount osb to interior stick built walls

    I'd use 2 1/2" decking screws (#10) with either a T-25 or #2 Square drive. Choose your flavor and color! They are cheap and give you extra holding power. They're very strong and are not brittle. I would have suggested 1 5/8" decking screws (#8) but you said shear strength! I think you would be...

    Florida Basement Water Problem

    While I suspect that the previous owner did know, I don't think I could prove it. I think the only people who win in a court case are the two lawyers. I bought a bottle of Mold Control from Lowes yesterday. Should I remove the old paint first or spray and let it sit before removing the old...

    Florida Basement Water Problem

    So the title should explain half the problem. Hardly any basements in Florida and the few that are here were most likely not done right. We bought this house back in October. The basement looked nice and had a fresh coat of paint. Should have clued me in! It would have made a nice storage...

    Give me some advice on gluing a floating floor

    The advantage was it was free! It was floating so the college liked that. It was a cheaper engineered wood product. I wouldn't have used it except the price was right. Everyone that came was amazed that a community college club had their own space with wood floors. It helped that I was as old...

    Give me some advice on gluing a floating floor

    I've done this in a 12 x 24 room before. I used Elmer's wood glue. It was donated for a college club. The store recommended a wood glue and painter's tape to use as a clamp. The edges were tongue and grove. Not locking. It was painful but once you got into a grove, it was good. Took me half the...

    If you have space, build them their own work bench. Nothing fancy or big but one that fits their size for a couple of years. Barry North Florida

    Anyone purchased from Indo generator?

    Sounds like a scam. I don't know of any company that would ship a LEGITIMATE Generac product with out getting the full payment up front. Quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, probably a duck... Stay far, far away from the duck in question.

    Best way to seal heat out of my garage w cathedral ceiling?

    If the insulation is sitting on the ceiling, then the exhaust would **** the heat out of the attic which is what you want. This works pretty good!
