    Should I insulate my attached garage?

    Have you considered blown in fiberglass for the attic space? Ideally you would do about 18 - 22 inches, but even 8" would help. If you can't or won't do it, have Home Depot do it for $1000 and put it on a Home Depot card to stretch out the payments. Always less expensive to do it youself...

    Please critique my garage plans.

    I like the armory hidden behind the bathroom. On the roof the drawing says ridge vent and gable vent, but don't use both or the gable vents will extremely limit the advantage of having a ridge vent.

    Do 1 more course of architectural shingles and then trim at the ridge as needed, leaving a 2" gap for air to escape. Then put your ridge vent to overlap them.

    Help/insight request. Drywall problem in new bathroom.

    Its becoming more common this winter. I do an attic inspection and find the space LOADED with condensation. Sometimes its frost and ice. Comes from too little insulation on top of the ceiling and not enough flow-through attic ventilation. This also contributes to the attic space being warmer...

    Incorrect attic venting.

    Yes, anything that will block out the wind. Plastic sheeting stapled in place, plywood blue foam board whatever you've got. I tell people this when we are adding attic insulation and notice that a roofer has done improper venting. As long as you have the other vents on top you're good to go.

    Incorrect attic venting.

    THIS Intake Air at the bottom, Exhaust air at the top. Ever try to drink from a straw that has a hole in the side of it? Not much draw that way. Same with roof vents. Ridge vent is top of the straw, soffit is the bottom of the straw. No other holes or the straw won't work.

The idiot sitting on the welder has no work ethic and his loafing is the same as stealing from you and the company, as you need to...

    My wife always asks, I always say no. "Honey, there's a lot of paint overspray, chemical fumes, and sawdust out there. You don't really want your nice things stored in that type of environment do you?"
