Another Essex County guy! Im in Belleville. You know how crazy the weather is here, sometimes 4 seasons in one day. People ask about the climate here and I just tell them both extremes plus a lot of humidity. I guess cost is the biggest thing making me studder pulling the trigger. We believe...

Jacked up the front corner about 8 inches to level off - removed the rot and termite damage. Sistered everything back up. New footings and support for existing center beam. Removed a wall and put a new beam in, with new supports and footings as well. Upstairs, tied everything together with cross...

No plans for established heat out there. I have a 60k propane dynaglo that gets the place cozy in 10min if i need it. Can't run gas out there and can't upgrade the electric for baseboards. Any real issues to run plywood without additional insulation? Do i go 1/2" or 3/4"? I presume i should do...

The lean has been fixed as much as possible, cant be improved any further. Check out my build thread for further on what a headache this process has been for me thus far. Thats part of my interest with the sheathing to help prevent further flex. So - not getting much push back against doing...

Home stretch on my rebuild project. 20 deep by 27 wide detached, built in 1924. When the guys came to do the new siding they used insulation board, which I wasn't expecting. That plus my new slab and my interior garage temp is approx 10 warmer than ambient air without the help of any heaters...

Third and final section poured today. Now just awaiting doors Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk

Your slab is going to pitch out, its actually working by design if everything is pushing towards the exterior doors. Is your garage attached or detached? Any type of drainage outside the doors from the driveway side? Being that you are saying the snow is melting, I would assume you are...

I'm actually currently in the process of a rebuild. I'm currently exposed true 2x4s built in 1924 which is kinda cool, but you can def tell its old and tired. New siding insulated so I mine as well close and insulate, but im not opposed to keeping it bare and maybe painting it all. Since were...

Calling for a foot of snow starting tomorrow afternoon but the concrete is here today - as i said, i have the best luck Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk

Cleaned out, raked, leveled and stamped everything today. Laid out the boxes for the pours and roped off for the pitch. Wire mesh is down as well. Set the supports in for the beams and sill plates and removed all the temporary bracing. **** weather the next few days, concrete will be here either...

Forms poured and cured today. Ripped up and removed the concrete. The concrete base was actually made of ash / soot, just to give you an idea of how old it all is. Actually cut my hand pulling it up before I decided to put gloves on Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk

Siding is done. Concrete footings done and curing. Tomorrow pouring the forms for the baseplates under the supports for the beams and the base for the garage doors so i can measure and order them up. Looks like ill be able to get 7'6" on the door height. You can see the dirt mark on the old...

Siding getting done today, had to reframe both openings for the doors all around due to rot and termite so it will be done tomorrow. Mason comes tomorrow to start the slab as well Almost there! Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk

appreciate you

I should have specified that - I think im going to shy away from the 40a sub. My house is only a 150 panel. I have a few circuits still open but im thinking about mini-splits in the future for the house. For the garage I currently have and will continue to have only LED lighting. I have...

Update : Siding coming Tuesday. Slab getting started on Tuesday as well. Electrical is staying as is for now but i will be trenching a new line. I have 12/3 coming off the house panel but 12/2 running to the garage. Going to run 12/3 with a new line in conduit. The current 12/2 has since been...

Here you can see where the wire just appears Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk

Wait until y'all hear how this is going for me right now......only me. Well talk about that later. Guy is coming for the slab next week. Local old Italian guy who pours everything by hand, no truck deliveries with this guy. I have existing electric. The grey style weatherproof 12/2 wire just...

Being that your shed isn't a garage, its probably 3" (Jersey code) if its a garage for cars itll be 4" thick. Moving the structure is easy as mentioned. Jack it on to PVC or 2" pipes for steam heat and roll it where you need be. Being that its going to be slightly off the existing slab, get...
