I've run into a bit of a time delay with my build. Looking at the availability of the people lined up to help set the trusses and put the roof on it looks like about three weeks from now. I have the first floor pretty much done. So, I'm wondering if it makes sense to install the siding and...

Since I've had work underway for almost a year, I figured I would start my main garage thread. It's going to be a 24x30 with gambrel trusses which will have an 11x30 room upstairs. I got a set of plans last year from a local supply company and started looking for someone to build it for me...

Looking to get some opinions on our planned build. We're looking at a 24 x 30 with a second floor. I had originally planned on Gambrel trusses for upstairs. Before I totally commit to that, I wanted to see if the roof of an attic truss garage would be cheaper to install (both labour and...

I've been making plans to have a 24x30 garage. The concrete guys are planning a footer and then a 4" slab. My wife has asked if we could put a root cellar under the slab at the far end of the floor, using a septic tank (for example). My first answer was no way, but now I'm thinking I should get...

Hi all, Just thought I'd throw this out to the group. I visit this government surplus site, for deals in my area. Anyway, happened to do a search wrong and saw this item which isn't near me, but closes today. In general it's a good site to keep an eye on, especially if your in the middle of...

Hi all, My folks called me today to tell me that their car had been gone through last night. It has a door that doesn't lock all the time. Anyway, the only thing missing was the door opener for their 2 car garage. It's a chamberlain 1/2 hp. Part number 41a5021-1m-315. So I've unplugged...
