Home Improvement Today?

Throw a support between the windows if you want a curtain or curtain sets over each window. IMHO

 

Yeah I think that is the plan now. I will use 3 supports, one on the outside of the 2 outside windows, and one in the center of the center window. There will be 4 total curtain panels. The middle window will share a panel with outer 2 windows if that makes sense.

 

Yeah , I would definitely do a centre support , or it will definitely sag

 

There's no room between the windows to stack the curtains though

 

Thanks for the tip! Should have it up this weekend!

 

How do you still have so much lawn? Hasn't your water company threatened you yet?

 

Don't live in the city, County well water, zoned for livestock, and that is my property behind my back yard. Here is a pic of the dogs on one side of my back yard. Still have to pay for the water service, but never have been threatened. Droughts come and go and always will.

 

Got my trusses all up today, gable overhangs framed and sub facia / sub barge ribbons all in , ready to sheet tomorrow

Not bad for an old man by himself haha

 

@OZ-T Do you use those nail plates for assembling your trusses? Think thats their name at least (just metal you nail through basically).

 

I bought the trusses , but yes they use plates but not nail plates , they're machine plates , basically pressure pressed in barbed plates

Like this

 

Ahhh gotcha. I looked at those but after looking online the best i could tell those are usually pressed in with a press. Ive been thinking of just using nail plates instead of buying more plywood and cutting it is the only reason i asked

 

You can buy the nail ones

 

Got the roof sheeted and granulated peel + stick installed , I'll sheet the gables tomorrow and start on my facias and barges

 

Before

After

 

I have the same sort of small area I have to figure out what to do with. I like what you did with your area Pistol Pete.



My shed is slowly coming together. Goal is to have it roofed this weekend but we will see who the weather goes.

 

Sheds looking good, I need to rebuild the one that came with my house. Roofs rotting.

Finally started putting decking down, not sure I like trexs hidden clip system yet.

 

Is it a toothed screw down fastener that engages a groove in the deck board ?

 

Yes

 

Thats the same type of fastener that was used in my composite deck failure but in that case I'm pretty sure the issue was the GAF Elk decking
