Turn up the thermostat.

OP, what do you think would have been a not "highway robbery" price?

Carpenter bees, above ground stinging insects and birds will all appreciate the housing opportunity.

1650' garage 12-17' ceilings. Insulated beyond residential standards. R23 walls, R40+ ceilings, R17 doors, high end windows and man door. Cooled to 75F, heated to 65F. 2X 2 ton Mitsu hyper heat units. Cooling months, I'm using 100-300 kwh, Heating months are 600-1000kwh. I'd guess 75% of my...

Lumber is a commodity. Prices go up, prices go down. Discussing it ad nauseam isn't going to change anything. And NOBODY knows there the pricing is headed. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/lumber-price-relief.468250/...

Could be a running design change. My XLTs are a few years old. They don't have the tilting ramp stops.

My regular Advantage is adjustable at the ram end, but the XLTs are not. And in my case, it's the XLTs that are close to the limit on a couple of the cables.

Cool, another lumber price thread.

Assuming this is a custom home... Add an extra foot or two to the shallow garage space if that water heater is going to be in your way coming around the car. Aren't "safe" rooms typically on the interior of a home? Do you really want an exterior door(s) in your 1st floor MBR? You have...

You really don't want rabbits around your house. Beside the landscape destruction, they are fantastic hosts for ticks and may perpetuate Lyme disease.

Since we're all just guessing in the dark.... OP mentions "posts" so I think this is a pole structure. Which means all the lumber in question in on edge. It sounds like the builder wants to stack 2X's on top of the already-attached 2X12's that are too low. Seems fine, provided the posts...

Pictures?

The 12" are much better than the 9s at containing the running water. The next step is landscape rock in the beds which will serve as a backstop for the really heavy rains that still flow over.

If you're not going to be doing the up-down-up-down routine frequently, then just rewire the motor with the proper length cord and leave it unplugged.

Coupling the downspouts directly to drainpipes can lead to blockages due to freezes and debris. With no practical way to clear them. Dumping into basins will greatly reduce the chances of those problems. Like this .

Last year, I paid $865 for the delivery and install of an Advantage XLT. The previous two XLTs, I had them deliver (inside my garage) but I assembled them solo. The fee was $250 for a rollback to slide the packages into a garage bay. This was in 2019. When I get the next one, I won't even give...

And this is the system for moving the water away. The left and right sides of the building are run to daylight about 100' away. My intention is to place landscape rock around the building to dress these collection basins up.

Here's nearly 50 feet of gutter. This is an "L" shaped garage. The downspout on the right side is also catching half of the hip that turns into a gable heading to the back of the building.

Huh? If the sapling are the appropriate size for the puller, it takes maybe 60 seconds to set the jaws, rock it back and then move to the next one. The only way it's taking 5 or 6 minutes per sapling is it they're too large to be pulled. Or the puller is checking his/her phone every time it...
