The foundation of our new detached garage was scheduled to be poured last Friday afternoon at 3PM and it was NOT a smooth operation. First the concrete truck was 45 minutes late, then they had several problems getting the pump/hose working reliably, and finally they only had enough concrete for...

We are going to install a gable attic fan in our detached garage/workshop that is currently under construction. The garage is about 2400 sq and it has hip roofs except for a 40 ft wide area of gable roof. Since we are in central Florida and we will be air conditioning about 1100 sq ft of...
