I did our place with no transitions and its very very difficult to get right. there are a couple of problems if you are even slightly off going across a room your joints will look strange at the doorways. You also need to leave space for expansion and contraction and going continuous from room...

Rigid insulation with the perimeter foamed in with Great stuff will make an excellent air vapor barrier. It's what I used on the rim joists in my basement and it's as effect as sprayfoam insulation but its an easy DIY approach.

The filing cabinet might work for you but it depends what you are storing in them. I use them at work but I find them flimsy and the slides start to jam up after a while. Anything heavy in the drawers will be an issue.

Im not a structural guy but from the looks of your photo's I suspect that you may be correct- but it depends on the size of your joists and rafters (cant tell from the photo) I'm going through a similar exercise on my 18x18 garage its framed in a similar manor to yours (joists and rafters are...

Next time place the bars on pieces of brick. The bars likely settled down to the bottom but I wouldn't be that concerned about it there's not going to be much load on your pad it's going to outlast you.

I have that unit. Like everything else at Harbor Freight its not bad for the price and will do just fine until the other stuff on my priority list is all done. Once I have the workshop set up the way I want I may build my own bench but at this rate it will be 10-15years from now and in the...

I love this forum. I now have a few more options to try out, while I continue to seal up the old place. 1) Use the dehumidifier even in the leaky old building 2) Get a box fan 3) Buy some fluid film and some Maxfilm - both less expensive than some of the others I've tried (yes I have tried...

Ok some background first: My 100 year old stand alone garage is leaky as a sieve. It's a work in progress. I have insulated one and a half of the walls with rigid insulation and sprayfoam around the edges and I've put up OSB on one wall but I still have a lot of work to do and its taken me a...

Good luck and keep going. I got almost 8 bids when I tackled a large project recently.
