no, mainly due to the location of the house and garage. i could have moved it back about 60-70 feet, but then i'd have $20k or more in driveway (wouldn't want to do rock), and i would have taken a huge chunk of the backyard away from the kids and dogs (which was the other reason for buying the...

your best bet would be to contact the company of the product you will be using. nobody can answer better than they could.

can't say i've ever seen a chicken coupe with an upstairs! i really like the "patina" display as well.

been awhile, but here are a few more pics. my oldest son helped me get the siding started (5 years old). i also added a small "driveway/parking spot" on the front of the building. this will see some sort of decorative rock next spring. i figure that will look better than white rock if nothing is...

i'd like to put a couple of good quality outdoor speakers in the soffit of the new garage. anybody have any suggestions or where i can find some?

i've decided to go the plug in route in my shop. i figure if there is ever any problem, i can just unplug and bring the light down to the ground to repair or replace. i'm not an electrican by any means, so simple is better for me.

we have a fan setup at work that is a dayton, so i checked into their stuff. looks pretty good, i'll probabally go with them. i know what you mean by the flapping in the wind, that gets real annoying, expecially when real windy! i think i could come up with some sort of setup to save my sanity.

in case anybody cares, i called the company, and they replyed that their fan would not last if i mounted it vertically. the bearings would not hold up.

i thought the same thing. it is only one brick thick, and it is connected with the anchors. my dad suggested small strips on each side of each 2x4 close to the brick, and then put in plywood. that way i could insulate, put up plastic,and there would still be a small area for water to run down...

no living space on the other side, just the back yard. i do know the house has sheating and blackjack on it before the brick, just not sure why they didn't do it on the garage.

already thought of that. i does have a neat studio feel to it, but it gets cold. my plans are insulation, osb, and white paint, but i could always get 4x8 sheets of fake brick and put on there.

so i did a little drywall removal in my attached garage to better run some wiring, etc. to the new garage, and this is what i found. the house was built in the early to mid sixties, and i figured there was no insulation (by the way, there was no insulation), but to see brick was a little...

looked at a large house fan tonight at menards by the company air vent inc. anybody know if something like that would be able to be mounted vertically instead of horizontally? i called and left a message with the company.

i'm familiar with the concept of having to let air in at the same time. we have this same type of system at work, and we just open a walk thorugh door on the opposite side of the room. works pretty good. i'm also aware that a lot of systems i've seen will probabally have the flap in the wind...

i have a 30x60 building with a 15 foot vaulted ceiling. i'm looking to put a fan up in the peak on one side of the building to help aid with welding smoke, heat, etc. does anybody have any suggestions on where to get a good quality unit? something that seals decent when not in use (for winter)...

i'd like to suggest the addition of a forum for shelving, cabinetry, and storage. i've seen some pretty nice ideas that are in the middle of nice garage builds, and feel that they could be used for ideas on other garage spaces if they had their own section. what do you think?

did you pour the floor thicker under the lift area? did bend pak have any recommendations for this concern? i'm going to rough in the electrical in my new building while i'm doing the electrical. my floor, however, is already in and i didn't go deeper in that area. i will be going with a 4 post...

QUOTE=drmoonshine;1365588]Great big garage door what kind of cars do work on. i put the door in to accommodate my big dually. it's a 91 chevy crew cab dually with a 4 inch lift and a pair of cb whip antennas. i didn't want to have to worry about the antennas, and just in case i want to go with...

don't think it will be a problem. i really needed to start using the garage to move car parts out of the basement, downstairs, upstairs, house garage, yard....... you get my point! wanted to be in the garage before winter hit, and i made it by just a few weeks.

yes, there was an old school tv antenna on the house, that actually wasn't hooked to the house anymore. it messed up the soffit, and i had no idea how to get it down. i had originally planned to drop it in the back yard, but had a brain fart and put up my deck, right where i would have dropped...
