You know, i thought of that but dismissed it for some reason. Guess i have to trace any lines from the basement and go from there. Luckily the only thing in the house thats gas is the waterheater and furnace both located in the basement. Thanks Neal for your prompt replys as always

:help: Hi guys, not sure how to describe it beside a 1" diameter black post dropping approx 4" from the ceiling that looks capped and wrapped with old black elec. tape. There is knob and tube wiring coming from the ceiling and dropping down along side of this tube. Not a part of the tube, but...

Hack, this is brilliant! I am renovating a house from 1918 and the stair walls are crap paneling. The triangles with baseboard is a perfect fix and looks great! Thank you!

Ahhh... So stick with the 10' height. "You can never have a big enough barn" i was once told. Just not sure that applies to height in all cases : )

Its going to be a reverse dormer with sliding barn doors. I'm pretty much set on the attic trusses at this point as to avoid the support column in the middle of the open floor plan 1st floor. Here is the inspiration I'm building off of...

Hi Bud! Good to see you hangin out again. Hope CS is treating you ok : ) Could you clarify what you mean by conventional framing for more space? As in a rafter? Thanks

Hi guys, I'm building a 24x32 pole barn in NW Pennsylvania. Gable end is opposite the main sliding door as to match my home design. I'm debating between either 9' 1st floor height with a 9/12 pitch OR a 10' 1st floor height with a 10/12 pitch. Attic trusses will be used for a second story...

thanks guys, exactly the responses I was looking for. Very much appreciated.

Hi guys, I have a 650' asphalt driveway that is in terrible shape. I've been patching it over the years in sections but I think I'm just pouring money down the drain at this point. A quote came in at $9500 from a reputable local contractor to completely replace it. Concrete quotes are ranging...

thats better! My buddy has a break that can make this for me. I'll show him this for sure. I'm noticing that this is on the bottom of the window... do you think I need one for the bottom of my door? I've never done this before : ) Thanks again Neal

hmmm... interesting. thanks for the pic!

perfect, thanks Neal as always. Exactly what I was thinking. I have a ton of J channel left over from a vinly siding job that can adhear to the edges of the aluminum siding. then a simple flashing for the top would cover a 1/2" or so of the top brickmold.

Hi guys, The pole barn that came with our house, doesn't have a man door. The siding on the pole barn is ribbed aluminum with 1/2" vertical ribs. I purchased a 32x80 prehung door, have an exposed cavity of 36x90 on this inside, and am ready to frame and cut the siding. My question is how do...

Thanks Neal. The attachment shows the type/design of my siding. How would i attach the ledger board to this type of siding? I would strongly prefer to not remove the siding. Is there a filler or gasket type product I could use to create a tight seal?

We are starting to have serious septic issues with a flooded leach field. Before I can honestly address this issue, I would like to see if I can reroute any unnecessary water from utilizing our septic. Would I be able to reroute my laundry line into this garage floor drain which is also...

Hi guys, I'm planning my spring project of a lean-to against my garage. Its a pole barn style garage with lateral beams connection 6x6 pillars and ribbed aluminum siding. My question is, how to I securely attached my ledger board to this ribbed aluminum? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

ah ha! the distribution box! Not too sure why i didn't think of that, but that is the next obvious place to look! Before I recreate the movie holes, whats the general distance from the outlet access to the dist box? Thanks again. I'll keep my journal entries coming on this one... grrr....

Gents, I need some non-biased advise. I have home that was built in 1995 that I bought on a foreclosure basis. I know the previous family was only 2 parents and maybe 2 kids at the most and even that, the wife and kids were only there for a few years. I purchased the home just shy of 2 years...

Hey guys, I cannot find where my gutters and 2 garage floor drains discharge too! We are on a well and septic system and I have confirmed 100% that they do NOT drain into the septic. I did this by oppositely running the shower and running a hose in the gutters, while listening to my septic...
