Here are some photos of a foam installation. This is a bit of a hi-bred in that we filled the cavities about 1/3 of the way with the closed cell foam and then did what is locally called a "Polar Blanket". Here is a 2x6 stud space with the foam installed. Then there is a mesh material...

Gesoffen, The cabinets are made locally by a company called Closet's to Go. I have no idea if they are just local or franchised. They are high density PB with thermofoil overlay. You can have just about any finish you can imagine. They put a 1.25" high density particle board top on the...

Well the shop cabinets are almost done, hardware and closures tomorrow, here are the pics of the install. Starting the layout... The uppers over MC area. Monday afternoon Tuesday am Doors starting to go on Tuesday late afternoon, almost done MC area with closed and open...

Cabinets going it today, should finish by Wednesday. Pics up tomorrow. Deacon

Just thought I would cross link to the Garage Gallery for the Race Deck I just installed in the shop. Went down easy and looks great. Link:http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13916&page=8 Whispering Waters Deacon

Well gang, we are starting to move forward. Incorporating the shop build along with the home construction causes unavoidable delays but things are happening. I installed the Race Deck today! I was a bit surprised at how easy the process was. I started at 10 am and finished cleaning up at...

Thanks for the bump. Smugmug site is: http://Deacon.smugmug.com/gallery/4262834_DZDXi#249682658 Not much has happened in the shop in the past few weeks. Other than the garage door, I used some of the Great Room cedar to put a short wainscot on the walls of the shop to protect from water and...

Tape measure, t square and pencil, then put up the dwall and rotozip. It would seem like a lot more work to hold the drywall up, mark take it down, cut and put it back up. I guess you could use the magnets by placing the ones in the receptacles and finding them with the outer piece and then...

Making progress, got the heater installed now that the garage doors are on. Glad there were two of them.... Poured some of the flatwork in the house entry. Stamped with a light slate pattern, nothing new but they are experimenting with new molds for the edge. It is a fractured stone...

Mr. Welsh, In my neck of the woods (sorry, I couldn't help it) wood is substantially less expensive so that was a major consideration. In addition the floor systems were a bit difficult as the main floor garage had to slope from west to east for drainage and the shop garage from north to south...

Yes, exactly. Polycarbonate is 2 layers for insulation value. When looking I was most concerned with how easy it would be to break. Went to the shop and they gave me a big hammer and a 2' piece...the Pc won. It was not too large of an issue as the garage door opener would keep the door in...

The garage door is made locally by Pacific Overhead Door. I have used them for years and they can build just about anything. If you are in the market I could email you the photos and take them to a garage door supplier or manufacturer and they should be able to make it happen. They are...

Optical illusion shooting it with a 14 deg wide angle! 8x20 glu lam header, it ain't going anywhere...it is just supporting the upper walls. The concrete flooring in the upper garage is supported by the glu lams you see in the shop ceiling with 2x12's 12" oc and max spans of 12' with 1"...

I think I am getting pretty impatient but we are making progress. The sheetrocking is done and painting tomorrow. Biggest change is the new garage door. Since the space is under the main garage and no windows this will let in natural light and provides some interest. Notice the RACEDECK...

You would think I am pimping this material and solution but it will work very well. Spray in closed cell foam against the roof sheathing forms a total vapor barrier and NO air to condense. Net over the bottom of the rafters and blow in insulation. Same application in the floor joists. In a...

Just installed the plastic gutter guard on a portion of the house that I can easily reach with a ladder. I have it now and it still needs to be cleaned about 2 a year. Lots of fir needles and they do get through a bit and surround the downspout area. On the high sections I am trying the foam...

I am not sure if you can get this type of foam from a retail outlet. The insulators had a whole box van just for the foaming process. There are multiple lines, probably for the foam, air etc that they reel out with a spray gun type of attachment that controls flow and pattern. They first...

Boy do I understand, you probably have seen the house I am doing, Whispering Waters. 3 furnaces, Carrier Infinity systems came to about $45k. I remember when you could get a 150k btu furnace with air for about $6k. Ouch but I gotta tell you, we fired up 2 of the units yesterday and they are...

Thanks for the comments, yes I have been very blessed with a career that allows me to build projects like this. I have been very fortunate to be surrounded with crews and individuals that can product such fine quality. The pool is out in the open, not covered. We have done indoor pools but...

Yes, pretty much true so you better make sure you have it right the first time. There are some outs we use such as conduit from panel areas to potential new need areas. We also have crawl spaces here that we can run and drill up into a wall cavity; same thing coming from top down. Not...
