I truly think that the internet has much more material than any library around here. I will go and check it out though. I try to be wise. I repaired some work that a team before mine did because they did not have the knowledge that they should have. In this instance, they screwed up the...

Thanks a bunch. I will go review all the info provided. Understood....clearly....but I am seeking out knowledge that does not end at "get an engineer". When I train my troops about our profession, I start with the basics. Once they get it, I move on to more specifics. Eventually they become...

Im not really inquiring about the design part. I am focused in on the actual construction, compaction, timing, etc parts. Not being an a-hole with my next statement but the concrete crews that I have seen doing the work are usually laborers. Skilled laborers at that but they are usually not...

Simple concept and question. I want to learn the proper way to prepare and complete concrete projects. I am a pretty extreme DIY guy and I like to learn and put into practice everything I learn. So what are the correct methods for preparing. -Simple Slab -Slab with shallow footers...

Great Idea......but, I really love the offering from the dodge Ram bed boxes They take up space above the wheel wells and Honestly dont really reduce the useability of the bed. The honda compartment is cool but what happens when you need to access the box when you have a load of lumber?

This I think is the way I want it. It looks like my neighbor across the street but he only has a 2 car garage with a bathroom above the garage. I love sketchup...

Having fun playing with sketchbook. I have posted the locations of my toolbox, compressor finally a spot for garbage cans and added a wall to the garage attic media room. The compressor and toolbox currently are already sitting in the drawn spots. I plan to add more toolboxes later. Enjoy!

Did a little work in sketchup to show what I really want. The purlin wall/Media room would obviously be closed off from the garage. I just left it open to show the inside. Enjoy..

Nice!

Another thing, the room above the existing garage would add a little value to the house. Thats why I want the room.It could be an added 16x22ft room for a boost of 352 sqft of living space. I would go from 2475 to 2784sqft. From 4 bedrooms to possibly 5.

Yes I have searched far and wide and there are many houses with the same design i am proposing but they only have one car deep on the third bay. I know that the aesthetics will work out fine and look good in the neighborhood. I just do not know if the scissor trusses will work inside for...

Yes. In the below pic, if you cut the addition area off with the classic car, it is what I have now. I am going to ask the county to approve the variance due to my wedge shaped lot and I do not think I will have an issue there. I would love to be able to go all the way to the utility easement...

Yup, the salt issue is big, the ice melting thing is huge, the cost difference is major too. I have pavers because of the deal that I got on the pavers and because it was all my own labor. I knew I was going to be making some changes and pavers can be reused and reworked as I see fit. I have...

No, I will only have 30.5 ft across. I barely have enough room now with my garage since it is only like 19' wide. I have to park my Jeep and my wifes Impala with like 6 inches between them in the middle. The jeep is always backed in and the impala it straight. I have just enough room to get into...

Honestly, the spot the shed is in was a decision that I made and kind of regret. I should have put it at the right corner of my property. It is built solid like a pole shed and I might be moving its location this summer. The location of the shed seems to cut down the yard and if there was a...

Technically yes but I dont want to because on having to kill more of my trees as listed above. That and the fact that the detached will have additional costs that I would have to deal with. Electrical, another driveway to the detached, eats up the useable back yard and the fact that I have to...

I cant do three doors. I often times park my cars in the middle of the double bay to work on stuff, clean the car or other things. I would never want to give up at least one double door.

No worky

That was the plan but the loft area would actually be to make into an extra room on the sneak after the garage inspection is done. I would then apply for a permit right before I move out and tell the county that I finished it in order to prevent extra taxes. Im already paying enough. My first...
