No. They are screwed through the top and bottom lips.

 

The overhang is invaluable, but I suggest 12' walls. I know that you realize the cost difference is negligible, but the space is amazing.

 

Appreciate the idea but I settled on 10' walls due to a few reasons including the look of the building , where it is trying to fit into as well as a height of roof for a future roof extension to a predetermined height at my property line for a firewood storage area

The ceiling in the shop will be vaulted at 5/12 so the wall heights are 10' but the peak of ceiling will be up around 14'

 

After just painting my master bath vanity which was the 80’s oak... I would I have painted the cabinets before mounting them...LOL
I’m glad I was able to have the vanity on the shop table while prepping, sanding, filling the grain, caulking, and priming and painting. Especially because the cabinets are going to take 3-6 coats depending on color.

At least your floors aren’t in.
But paint them now not after the counters are in.

 

you could fill dirt/rock that area and get a bigger 1 story building.

 

First coat of poly down. Gonna take it easy the rest of today and tomorrow, merry Christmas everyone

 

Hey guys, I need some advice. I ordered vinyl replacement windows and I test fit one in the opening and it is tight! It looks like they made the window exactly to the size I gave them. Aren't they supposed to automatically deduct 1/2" to all my dimensions? Anyways, what's the easiest way to modify my opening to get this window to fit?

 

Im pretty sure the measurement you give is what you are supposed to get if its special order.

 

No easy way that I’m aware of with a stick built house
Unless I’m missing something you’re gonna have to pull the jack studs and sill plate and plane them down a little. Any damage you have to do to sheetrock can probably be covered with window casing

And yes , as @wilcam47 mentioned there will likely be a sawzall involved lol

 

Thanks for the advice. What do you think about just forcing the new window in with a dead blow hammer?

 

No

 

Are your windows too tight in width and height ?

 

No, please no...

 

Finished the grounding connection for my ham radio station:

 

Customers home I recently finished

 

Just the width is snug tight. Height I have enough room.

 

Plane it down

 

Only if you take a video.

 

If there is no wide spans or point loads I would be inclined to remove a side window buck and replace it with a 1" piece

 

Whoa, what kind of floor vent is that?
