    Unistrut hoist

    I'm building a unistrut hoist and hanging it from my trussed garage roof. It will be used to work on power sports, like suspending a motorcycle when replacing forks/shocks or to lift the back end of a snowmobile up when taking out the rear skid. I know it's not favorable to hang weight from...

    Not the idea situation, but I want to add on to my existing garage. I've taken pictures of the side I want to add on to.

    Drywall newbie

    I’ve only hung drywall a couple times so had a question about my garage addition. I’m hanging 5/8” on a ceiling that is 16’x30’ with the strapping (16” oc) running parallel with the 16’ side. My thought was to run a pattern of a 12’ sheet then take a 8’ and cut it in half, then the next row...

    Garage Build, first couple questions of many

    I have an attached garage that is 24’x24’, but the roof was made for a 24’ long x 30’ wide structure. A 6’ walkway currently runs down the side of the garage with outside posts actually carrying the truss load on that side. On that side the garage wall is not load bearing. I am removing the...
