Thanks Havasu. Any advice on material to use? I have ready some scary stories about using concrete slabs. Cheers.

Hi All, I decided to take up on a Quarantine Project of building my own Grill Island. I am keeping it simple using Pavestones to put it together. I am aware of venting requirements for Propane tanks, but have a questions about Charcoal. My Island is 90 inches wide, with my drop-in gas grill...

Definitely not enough space. Literally the design of the house so it shows at angles on top of garage. The door isnt insulated either, and I was thinking of putting basic insulation in that too. I just dont want to have a 40 degree difference between house and garage during winters.

Hi Everyone, Newer forum member, and been browsing through the posts. Needed to get some thoughts on insulating a garage. Bought a brand new build, where they obviously save on money, but insulating and drywalling the shared walls (as per code), and leaving the rest of the garage showing the...

Thanks Guys. Seems like sheet rock seems to be the recommendation. Might cost me a couple of hundred...but seems the safest way to go.

Stupid question...does the Fiberglass Insulation with nothing on it pose a fire risk too? I know anything paper or cloth kind would be a fire risk...is the plastic cover also flammable?

Hi Everyone, Please bear with the Newbie, but I am looking forward to this forum for many discussions to follow. I am a new homeowner, and have a full unfinished basement. For conserving energy (my assumption), the builder has put fiber glass insulation on the basement ceiling, which of...
