I need to finish this project so I can get back to work on the garage! I currently have a 18 year old JennAir electric downdraft cooktop which no longer works. I intend to replace it with a Gas unit next year, but purchased a used GE electric downdraft cooktop (Model P389BJ1BB) to use until...

Thanks. I'll try it.

The painters have just finished spraying kilz primer on my walls, and all the wiring in the electrical boxes is now white (boxes were not covered). Cannot tell red from black from white. How much paint am I required to remove to pass electrical inspection? Just enough to find out what color the...

My current project is converting my existing garage into living space and add a new garage. The electrician installed a new subpanel for the new living space and garage and wired them both, including all lights, outlet, compressor circuits, etc. In the existing construction adjacent to the...

One of the home improvement stores near me (Lowes or HD, forgot which) was selling a perforated paper tape that was sticky on one side. Has anyone used it?

do you need any irrigation piping or electrical conduit under the slab?

I am about ready to do a 1400 square foot driveway. I was quoted $15.50 per square foot for Mega-Bergerac concrete pavers on a 6 inch gravel base. Excavation and curbs are another $2400. The company did one of my neighboors several years ago and there has been no problems with their work. Does...

Here are the garage doors installed. The exterior of the garage is just about done. Gutters are next, after the roofers return to fix an area by the chimmey.

Hi Guys. Sorry about the update delays. My garage doors were just installed yesterday by Nova65ss (Garage Door Specialist) and I am quite pleased with them. They have been installed as high as possible to allow for a future four post lift with the Liftmaster 3800. Jimmy came out several times...

Ok, I made a mistake. I won't do it again. I have an air compressor that has not been drained in a very long time. I won't say who was president the last time it was drained. Is it safe to use? Do tanks explode :shocking: or just develop small air leaks? Thanks for any advise, and I promise...

No updates for some time; I ran into some serious issues with the HVAC sub and took a couple of months to resolve. That ruined the scheduling for the remaining subs. The garage doors have been ordered from Nova65ss, a forum member. He was out to the site a couple of times to ensure a good fit...

I have not selected garage door vendor yet. In Feb I got two quotes: one from WayneDalton who did my previous trouble free door and one from Carolina Door Specialist, which I think may be your company. I did not understand the Carolina Door quote (nbr 11875). It specified a Heritage 3000...

The stone work is nearly done. The stone is building stone (5+ inches thick). It is a mixture of dog creek (Arkansas Flat Stone) and some Oklahoma field stone mixed in for some color highlights. I found the same mason who did the front door stone 18 years ago and he agreed to do the front of the...

Here is the new pier. Poured concrete with rebar doweled into the footing.

First structural problem. The pier between the two garage doors is now cracked and leaning outward. This happened one day after full load was placed on the pier. This pier supports a PSL column which has both garage door headers and the main support beam which runs from front to back of the...

Framing is almost complete in this picture. The entire house is going to have hardiplack except for the foyer and front of garage, which will be 5 inch building stone. The roof has also been replaced on the entire house.

Here the framing on the garage has started. The hip roof over the family room has been removed and will be replaced by a gable roof tied in to the garage roof. Notice the sub contractor on the phone. Hopefully, he is not calling for help on what to do next. There is a 3 foot by 17 foot alcove on...
