    Max Steel vs Alans Direct (Carolina Carport) 20x30.

    So for this building 4 foot vs 5 foot would be about 2000.00. I'm going to have to think hard on that.

    Soundproofing Walls?

    I have both the R13 rockwool and the normal one (cant tell any real difference in them) and it does help cut down on sound. It's not remarkable but noticeable. It is enough i'll continue to put it in during the remodel.

    Battery powered lawn mower

    Make sure it has an actual blade. Ive heard good things about the Toro, and Honda has a new line out too. Both are 21". and probably overkill for that small of yard.

    Max Steel vs Alans Direct (Carolina Carport) 20x30.

    Doug, Could you elaborate on what you mean by the 1 foot larger pad was a mistake? Also did you have a lip the size of the building incorporated into your pad? https://alansfactoryoutlet.com/guides/garage/planning-and-pricing-your-foundation/ (my county is going to require a more...

    Max Steel vs Alans Direct (Carolina Carport) 20x30.

    They are both steel tube, they look about the same from display models. Looking for your thread, is the one about adding the lean too expanding it? I would opt for both the thicker sides and thicker frame. It would have a 1 foot overhang all the way around. (you have to call for that option.)...

    Max Steel vs Alans Direct (Carolina Carport) 20x30.

    Hi Mike, fellow Ford lover... Thank you - I'm pretty sure I saw your garage either on a thread or you tube. I guess Max Steel is the "Local Company" all of the dealers around here sell max steel, Carolina, or American steel. By far Max Steel has the most, they all also sell Old Hickory...

    Max Steel vs Alans Direct (Carolina Carport) 20x30.

    All right, so ive figured out i can get 1 foot overhangs on Alans as well as a chain lift and an awning over the door. Also i can request no goofy window in the man door, so were about to pull the trigger on it. Will be 20 x 30. This doesn't show the overhangs or awning, the awning is basically...

    See Also: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/garage-workshop-preplanning-and-thoughts.507449/ I also tried to search, but the brand names are too common for usable results. So it seems i'm going to have to revise my Crown Royal taste to fit my Pabst Blue Ribbon budget both in dollars...

    Floorplanner Door sizes standard or actual.

    This is probably a dumb question, but here goes. I cant find much on this and some of what I can find is conflicting. In floorplanner (floorplanner.com) are the doors the opening size or the slab size?

    Sunroom under screen room

    So i hired a contractor to enclose a porch under a screen room. Said contractor promptly went out of business after framing the walls and "drying in". Currently interviewing contractors to take over, however it has become clear that said previous contractor was not good and there is water...

    Code question: last resort for this layperson

    It is an AT&T fibre box and it is non-functional with the fibre to copper converter unplugged and most to the ends off the CAT6. Assuming they will respond to you i'd think your best bet short of listening to the lawyer would be to call them. The overspray suggest it might have been there when...

    Garage / Workshop Preplanning and Thoughts.

    So for stick build the estimate was 78,000.00 with no electrical and no painting. He did not break out the concrete or anything else. I feel like this is high, but no other estimate to compare it to yet. Probably going to have to wait until i can do more of the work myself at if they are all...

    Garage / Workshop Preplanning and Thoughts.

    No significant snow here. I guess I am being unreasonable in expecting proposals and estimates to come in in a month, perhaps I am being too high maintenance.. little frustrated... Any one have any contractor/builder/erector recommendations in Knoxville TN?

    Problems with lingering garage flooring odor

    Yup - except lavender - she lights a candle with any kind of lavender or flowery smell and it affects me like the carb (or Brake) cleaner affects her, plus I can taste it for hours... Sorry OP no help - but I'm following to see if there is a resolution.
