Another busy weekend as we put up the tongue & groove ceiling in the pool-house side, with R-38 batts resting on the backside. Saturday started out really slow because we had to maneuver through the bathroom ceiling, but Sunday rolled. I stopped short of the final two boards so I can figure...

Thank you. I had not seen that one yet. I’ll check it out.

Every bar needs a little neon -- an early Fathers' Day gift from my wife!

Not much going on. Waiting for trench to be dug for electrical, and until that's inspected, I can't start re-working all the electrical inside. So, let me introduce you to Ponch. He is my 1997 3/4 ton GMC Suburban. I adopted Ponch 26 years ago, and he's been a reliable companion ever since...

A busy couple days: Finished the lower insulation and my wife also got a couple bushes planted. I’m still looking for two things and would welcome suggestions: A good ceiling board that will be easy to work with 15’ up in the air, and rigid enough to hold the insulation on the back side...

Got the new fence finished today.

Pulled the trigger today on my RaceDeck tiles.

Pulled the trigger today on my RaceDeck flooring. The red border is 18", with 24" checkerboard squares on the inside. The back right corner is a 4x6 utilities area.

Haha - my first car was a ‘75 Vega, so I know your pain. Unfortunately, my burned a bunch more than it leaked. With family in town for the 500, we had a chance to prep my ceiling boards. Go Santino!!

I finally let the first car on my new concrete today, which of course also means that I just got the first oil spot on my concrete today.

Thanks. My building is up and I expect to pull the trigger on this purchase really soon. I'm not going to have water or snow runoff, and I like the Diamand tile for catching spills, but your comment made me think. My hope is that the 2" insulation under the concrete would be more limiting to...

Hello, I’m mid-build on a new garage with hydronic radiant heat in the concrete slab. Would there be any difference in heat transfer between your Diamond tiles and your Freeflow? Thanks.

I’m curious about your rationale of the radiant heat. Have you had a chance to notice whether there is a difference? Is there other experience you’re relying on? I’m mid-build on a new garage with radiant heat. I’ve decided to use Racedeck, but this never crossed my mind.

Garage door is in, and external lighting is now all up. Took a break for lunch in the rain this morning.

I've been really impressed with my contractor. At least around Indy it was hard to find someone that wanted to do a garage. No shortage of people to do pole barns, or remodels, or complete new homes, but he seems to focus on good detached construction, and I've been really happy. Gutters and...

My contractor’s update.

More concrete today. I had to pass up a day at the track AND a day at the Mecum Car Auction, but better to keep an eye on things.

Another work trip, and it seems like everything kicks into high gear as soon as I leave town. More new concrete tomorrow.

The siding continues. Should be done tomorrow.
