Hello everyone. I have a detached garage with a 90 amp sub panel. I already have the panel fed from the main panel. In the sub panel I have 2 ground bars. I have a ground coming from the main which is attached to 1 ground bar. The other ground bar has a ground cable that's attached to 2 ground...

Mini excavator. One time I used a trencher, a little bit of ground water made its way into the trench. With that happening, the trencher just mixed the water and soil and it made a nice soup of mud. It wouldn't pull any of the mud out. I gave up and got an excavator. Lesson learned.

That is from my place. I used 1 inch 4x8 sheets. They are held in place using a 1x2 screwed thru the 1 inch sheet directly into truss. Went up quick and gives a little more air space. Trusses are 4 ft apart. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=928590&d=1568853824

The insulation looks like it is used. The staple tabs have actually been cut off. The color looks like old insulation that was taken out from an old house.

Thanks for all the replies. I am asking about the vapor barrier(not housewrap, not under a slab) that you put on walls and ceilings and then it gets covered with drywall/osb/metal. I have already insulated the pole building and the insulation is unfaced. Thanks

What Do You Use For A Vapor Barrier? Anything special? Will any type of plastic sheet work? How thick (mills)? Is taping the seams necessary or just staple where 2 sheets meet? This will be for interior OSB walls and metal ceiling. Northeast US. Thanks

Don't get hooked on the pain pills.

I don't know what you are building with the sheets. One option, if you can, is to cut off 3 - 4 feet and then replace the cut off pieces with new pieces and do wainscoting on the bottom 3 - 4 feet of the wall.

I'd do what Dustball said. BUT After you put the new starter piece in, start the siding from the bottom and work up to the old. When you get to the old, nail the last new piece up and then tuck the old piece onto the new. Again try to do this when it's warm so the old siding is more flexible.

Very Nice. How do you fold over the rim of the shower rod?

Like the news article above mentions, buy an extended warranty. I use the 70 pint models(around $300). The warranty cost about $80 for 4 years. I have never had one last that long. So I just pay $80 for 4 years and get 1 or 2 new dehumidifiers for that price. I've been doing this for around 17...

rlitman. :bowdown: Thanks for the detail reply. Much appreciated that you took the time to do this. Can you tell me the make and model of your level? Thanks again

Just want to play with a new tool. probably but I could use the laser level for other projects.

Looking into the green laser levels advertised on fleabay for $100-$200. The ones that shoot out 3/12 lines 360 degrees. Huepar is one of the many company names. Does anyone have any experience with these as far as accuracy and brightness of the lines? I would be using this to shoot...

IF the laundry room is over a basement/craw space do you have access to the pipes down there? If you do, cut the pipe there and cut the valve off. Pull pipe out. Put a new longer pipe in sticking above the hole in the plastic box and attach a new valve with a compression fitting. Solder the...

The key to using the zircon is to raise or lower your end of the tube S L O W until it beeps.

I have a Zircon. It beeps(loud) when level. I have used it to build decks; dig & level footers; level the dirt for my garage. I had mine for about 30 years. Nice part is you can do not have to be in line of site to the base unit. Example....You can pick a point to level to on one side of a...
