    New detached garage 24X28 with 2nd floor and bathroom

    I finally finished the main floor. I still have to put the driveway in, so I will wait on that before I do the floor. I have insulated the upstairs and still need to do the drywall but I am no hurry for that. I still have to bring some tools from the house garage, but waited until after the...

    Painting Garage Int - What Color for Trim?

    I decided to brave the 8 inches of snow and went and took some pictures. Here they are, just finished it last week just in enough time to host a superbowl party. I would use a flat pant on the ceiling to hide any flaws and semigloss on the walls so that they wipe up easier.

    Painting Garage Int - What Color for Trim?

    Mine is the exact same except that I used a black stripe and white trim. I think it looks pretty sharp. I will post some pics tomorrow for you to check it out. 1 thing that I have noticed is make sure the strip is wide enough. I have seen some that are only a few inches wide. I made mine...

    .I have the same questions and it seems your answers are always vague. Can you just answer the question? I have searched several times and always get different answers.

    Race deck sale question

    Does racedeck ever have sales? I did a search and found they had one last year right around this time. Anyone know if they will have it again? What are the prices when they have them? Also is there any sound on the race deck and the concrete floor? Any clacking sound? Can you put something...

    New detached garage 24X28 with 2nd floor and bathroom

    It has been awile since I updated. I have ran all my cable and cat5 in the walls. I have ran 3/4 in gas line underground in a conduit from the house (about 100 feet). I insulated all the walls with R 13 and the ceiling in the second floor with R25 after I ran rafter vents all the way to the...

    So you think your garage is nice eh?

    I would like to see bigger pictures too! Not sure about the picture hosting site, can't you just save them to your computer and attach them from there? I have never used a picture hosting site so I don't know what the advantages are.

    Tank Top Propane Heater in Garage?

    I use a kersone salamander. It is 100,000 btus and it heats my 2 story garage to the point I am sweating. I can run it for about 8 hours on 4 gallons. I usually start it up for about an hour to warm things up and then I shut it down and use a propane top heater to keep it warm. I have just...

    Wanting to build a shop in the near future, tax question

    Not a tax expert but I know my way around the tax code a little bit. I doubt you could take both the deduction to build it and the home office deduction. You could only take the home office deduction and depreciate the cost of the building at a reasonable rate over 20 or 30 years. Just a...

I didnot insulate the ceiling downstairs and am planning on drywalling the ceiling downstairs. I think by putting in the ceiling downstairs I will be contain most of the heat to...

    New Cabinet options

    Thanks guys, it looks like the guy that had these for sale decided to include them in an auction this weekend, so I guess we will see. They where worth the money but I knew I wasn't going to like the oak stain and was just wondering how hard it would be to paint them. I guess I will go to the...

    Pipe Size Question

    I will let you know what I come up with. After reading most of this, I have decided that I will be doing at least a 3/4 inch pipe. When I said that there are no bends, it is because the conduit starts in the basement and goes straight to the garage. The garage sits about 5 feet lower than the...
