Hey everyone! I've been lurking on this site now for the past few months, after being sent a link to BB767's "Restored 1930's Auto Shop" thread. I figure it's about time to post up my little winter project, a 24'x30' 2 car garage with 10' high ceilings. Doors are 10' wide by 8' high. Most of...

Been reading over your door issues, I almost ran into a similar issue with my doors. I just had my framing inspection done this week, everything was good and I got approval to start closing it up, but he did point out one "potential issue". I used double cripples on either side of the header of...

Keep up the good work, this cold snap is making it tough though! (and by cold snap I mean normal winter temperatures that seem cold because its been an unusually warm winter)

Looks like its coming along well despite the weather. Are you planning to do tin or shingles? I went with tin, now I've given up on getting my ridge cap on til spring, way to slippery!

Good luck man, sounds like its going to be a long haul!

I noticed your location is Manitoba, if you don't mind me asking, what area? I plan to move back there next spring and will be building a shop, not looking forward to all the red tape.
