I would echo those supporting the use of POE or POE+ CAT6. I'd probably run that out to a POE switch in the garage for your cameras. Also put in a another wireless access point as a repeater off of the one in your house so you can keep the same SSID in both places. You will want the wifi for...

Matt Risinger out of Austin, Texas has a YoutTube channel and a video out on the DAP kit and how it is used. This is what I was thinking when I mentioned sill pan/flashing for the exterior door. DAP Quick Kit Install

No heat for the slab

In the absence of the stone, could there be an inch or two concrete sill formed, that when the slab was poured, would give the door sill a tiny wall to sit on? The outside pad would not necessarily have to be any lower than the slab, then. In essence, the door would sit on a tiny stem wall made...

So you are saying that you like to have the door sill off the interior slab an extra bit to give a little more room for things like rugs? And that you do this with something like a stone material built up under the door?

New garage build happening this summer and I am trying to get a handle on the best practice for placing an exterior man door. There will be a 1 foot stem wall for this garage. The slab for the garage floor will be a separate pour about a week later from the footings and stem wall. Outside...

Yes, we originally planned to insulate and sheetrock during construction, but I think I will do that later on my own and not have the contractor do it because of cost. One thought was to use ply or OSB instead of the wall rock. I've seen that mentioned in other places and seems interesting...

Yes, the 5/12 pitch and 10' walls puts us at about 14'-9" overall height. We are talking with builders now and one wanted to make sure we really wanted the attic trusses since when all was said and done, we'd only end up with a space about 3 feet tall. That would be hard to use since we'd have...

We are building a 20x30 detached garage this summer. It will have a 5/12 pitch and 10' floor to ceiling height. Overall height here is limited to 15'. The question is would attic trusses be of any real use in this scenario? I originally thought that it would be nice to have that extra space up...
