Hello all. I have a Liftmaster 8500W wall mount opener on one of my garage door and I want to add another wall mount opener to a second door. The 8500W is still available to buy but I was told the new model 98022 is a better option. It's also $350 cheaper. One of the main differences is the...

I built a 11' wide driveway gate frame from 1-1/2 X 1-1/2 square metal tubing and I'm looking for an alternative to 1X6" X 6' fence boards to cover it. I don't want an industrial look and was thinking of aluminum or heavy vinyl. The frame is 4' 9" high and 11'3" wide and sits about 10" from...

My new shop is 36 ft. deep and 33 ft. wide with a 13 foot ceiling and I'm looking for ideas. The ceiling is not flat. It has a 10' 6" front wall and the ceiling rises from the wall to 13' then horizontal for 14' then down to 10' 6" at the back wall. I was originally thinking of drywall but...

I'm building a 34 X 37 shop and am at the roofing stage. It's getting ice and water but a roofer told me an underlayment such as IKO cool grey and GAF deck armor on the areas not protected by the ice and water isn't necessary. Any roofers out there have an opinion on this? Thanks Jim

Well I finally got a building permit to build my dream garage and could use some advice on getting the necessary power cables into the garage from the house. I'm planning on getting a licensed electrician (good neighbor) to help me do all the work to code but I'm at the early stages of...

well after applying for a variance for my 34X37 deep garage and jumping through a few hoops and giving the city a few bucks I got the ok to apply for a building permit and should have one in a couple of weeks. As usual a ton of questions are coming up. I'm insulating under the concrete floor...

Hello all. I moved into my new to me home last March 2018 and during conversations with the previous owner it was mentioned that the 7 year old forced air gas furnace was a two stage. As time went by as with a new home I was busy fixing up things and wasn't concerned about the furnace, in...
