The corner is a one bedroom apartment that I rent to my sister. I was going to build in the second story loft as an office but it has become storage for relatives ****. was supposed to only be there a few months.. well, I am sure some of you know the story. haha.

Well, I finally have insulation and drywall on my walls. I put up shelving to get some things off the floor as well and still need more. Decided not to tape and texture for now because I can always pull boards down to run more wire if needed this way. sure is quiet and has stabilized the...

I vote 30x30. cost is nothing compared to finding out you are 2 feet short one way or the other. I have helped two people extend their garages by less than six feet after finding this out and the cost was more than double what it would of been to have built it larger the first time. 2 trusses...

yes, 2 wireless access points allows my laptop in garage or in house.

I do all my own cars and trucks.

I built my own house as a single dad with two little boys 4 & 3. I did it all except the foundation/slab and the hvac installation but even that looked simple and hind sight could of done it myself. alot of late nights and weekends with very little sleep but when done you do have alot to be...

Cool Time Delay Movie!! Thanks And Great Job!

Bigvic, I remember reading insulation4less's web site for info when I was searching for this stuff but they didn't have the double layers of bubble insulation so I went elsewhere. the single layer is a little cheaper though if $ is a huge concern but I felt it was worth the little extra...

Paul, boy is the labor free statement hit home.. There are several vendors that sell the stuff but the one I bought it from and was happy with their service and delivery was quick is a place called inovative insulation at www.radiantbarrier.com and I bought the tempshield foil, double bubble...

Couldn't you use the polyurethane foam that you spray in? its more costly but if you did it in the lower 4 foot and filled the cavity it would be water proof and should dry fairly fast I would think depending on what you face it with and construction materials on the outside. In the top 8 feet...

I just installed the foil,double bubble,white poly in my 50x75 garage which has 12 foot walls and up to 20 foot ceiling in center. I hung it on the trusses to create a nice white ceiling in the building and I used to walk in during the day to an oven hotter than it was outside here in phoenix...

I installed this stuff over the weekend and there is two major differences realized from it. 1. I am about 20 degrees cooler inside and I am no longer thinking of doubling my lighting since the white reflective surface does a great job compared to the wood that absorbed it all.. Had to rent a...

thanks William, no one else has any experience with this stuff??

Hey, I currently have an open ceiling with scissor trusses that are minimum 12 ft high and go up to about 19 ft in the center. I don't have much of a problem in the winter heating the space to be tolerable (I am in AZ dessert after all) but in the summer it gets hot and everyone says I need a...

I did an additional tank also, there was some county restrictions on how close it could be to the first one but mine is closer than your 167 feet so you shouldn't have any difficulty there. if you use atleast 4" pipe the slope is 1/8 per foot I believe. 3" you might have issues with the...

thanks 86swb, you are correct, I need more lighting and part of it is the pics and then to upload I had to downgrade the quality which made them appear even darker. I had a couple of halogens wired in until about 3 weeks ago when I put up some florescents I had from another project. they give...

thanks for the nice comments! a little more about my "castle", I built my house about 10 years ago with a 35x35 attached garage thinking that would be as big as I would ever need. well, as you all know its never big enough and life happened and needed additional living space as well as...

Hey guys, fairly new here and thought you might be interested in how I did my garage this last year. still working on the interior because I had works in progress as I finished the outside and had to move in. For my three year old I have his own play area so he comes out and works all the...

find an auction house that auctions off bankruptcy and stores that are closing equipment. I have seen alot of bulk shelving from all kinds of places including home depot store they closed to open a bigger one a block away and they bought all new shelving and auctioned the old stuff.. good luck!
