Why the big drop in '09?

I put my osb up last winter(extremely dry time), and this summer I noticed that around the window (that isn't trimmed) it was bowing away. Other wise when looking down the wall, bowing isn't noticable. For the people that put osb up and don't see any bowing, I wonder if its cause they put it up...

Interesting style. I kinda like.

Well said Scott. I love all the hypocrites on here. 95% of this forum is filled with DIYers (including myself), and when it comes to someone else wanting to get their hands dirty, for one reason or another, all eveyone can say is 'its too dangerous for You to do'. I say read up, do your homework...

Thumbs up. Those are the two points I was Trying to make. You put it down in writing better than I did.

I would have to question compromising the trusses like that also. I think if you laid a 2x4 across the top of them and drilled the holes into that then down through the sheetrock you would have less to worry about. As of now... You may want to glue and screw/bolt another piece of 2x4 along that...

How do you make your wife scream during ***? Call and tell her.

Venumb, why give up the R6 for that pig?! Lol What kind of overhaul is the 12 getting?

Greats spaces, Great write up! Your dad is awesome for having the ambition and drive to keep going. "Hold the light still" could describe my childhood. There was always something about trying to fit my head up under that wheel well with my dads that I just couldn't resist. I *thought* he needed...

How deep does a buried NG line have to be? Curious on how feasible it is to do with a shovel.

Funny how on 'Holme on Homes' he finished a garage for a guy and he covered the panel with a cabinet. Pretty sure when you opened the cabinet the breaker was right there, but it might prove that it's legal to cover it with something as long as it doesn't have to be 'moved' or 'removed'. Just...

I think you're reaching!

Sure wish I woulda had that when I was hanging my ceiling. I did it all on my own and it was a lesson learned in being creative and patient.

MINIMIZE. Throw away what you haven't used in the last 365 days. *Then* build your shed to hide the garden and yard tools. If you do the shed first you are guaranteed to put stuff in there you shouldn't be keeping around. The rest of the stuff left in the garage can be put on shelves. If you are...

Any idea what a TV costs to run for an hour?

You may wanna "over-do" your lighting since you don't have any light colored walls to reflect lighting. Bright colored walls help a ton, and unfortunately that's not on your side right now.

St, how do you like the color of your grey? I used the rustoleum light grey and do not care for it. Its got a tint of blue to it, but I'm looking to put down a flake that has a bit of red in it. The first two pix you put up show it as a tint of blue, but the third appears to be the color of grey...

Sammich the plastic in between.

B'n'H, have you checked into the Mr. Heater MH25LP 22,000-BTU Propane Radiant Heaters? Anyone have any experiene with these. I have a 12x24 and was eyeballing one of them since it will stay up and out of the way. And in these smaller castles, our space is important.

What's the R value of 1" spray foam?
