It might have been an exaggeration. It just seemed like that many screws since we had a heat index of around 100 and there was no air moving in garage.:)

Crappy picture and doesn't look like much progress but it's taken me enough time. The platform had oak 1x6 over the joists (root cellar below). I added plywood, the oak 1x6 border, self-leveling underlayment and then backer board. I might be off by a bit but the backer board had...

Rivenin, I'll get you that pic (I assume the outside of the building is what your asking?)! Rlmiller, thanks for the compliment! I'm a bit mad at myself as I started a compact/pancake compressor on the floor today and it vibrated across about 2 feet, leaving a scratch in the sealer. I'll try...

Scored a Viking 30" stainless hood today!

Concrete floor stained and one coat of sealer. I'm fairly happy with the way it turned out. :ban: I used Valspar Etching Stain (color: Coffee) and the Valspar Etching Stain Sealer.

You are correct. They are true 2x4's. The rafters overhang the top plates of the walls enough to add a 1.75" furring with 16" center studs (again, 1.75") nailed to the bottom side of rafters. I think what little "settling" that has occurred is again related to rafter-ties being removed. The...

The horizontal cripples main purpose is to give something to nail the exterior 1x's into at the middle. If you look you'll see that they make a consistent(?) rise to the right. The outside walls are this way, too, and I assume it was to make it easier to toe-nail those in. I can't argue it...

No need to ask for forgiveness. I asked for opinions.:) I'm curious as to why it does not look sound? It's been standing for over 50 years in "tornado alley". There is nothing but oak 2x and oak 1x used in the construction. The rafters and floor joists might not meet new construction code for...

Here's the back wall to the addon removed.

Here's the "addon". The astute observer might guess it was done in 2000, but there's way too much old, cross-cut red oak used behind the original garage exterior wall.

Please bear with me... I'm trying to document my build and glean opinions at the same time. I'll most likely fail at both.:confused: The property my wife and I purchased has a detached garage (ORGINAL GARAGE in image). It also has a well house (WELL HOUSE in image). To further complicate...

I had the same problem with my bottom drain HERMs when I first started using it. The solution for my setup was to crush closer to .045" as recommended by Kal over at his Grain Mill page. When I get to build a system and start brewing again (after having moved a couple of times) I'll use the...

Excellent article. Thanks!

In!:mug:

I used something like this for my pumps and was very happy with it:

I'm in.

There are a few lathe screws from the inside of the hood into the frame, but those are just to hold the J-channel in place. There aren't any stability issues as the FRP once attached to the endcaps is very rigid and relatively light. Of course you want to suspend or hang it by the 2x4 frame.

Count me in.

Poor explanation on my part. I attached the larger piece of FRP to the end caps with the lathe screws and then dropped the already assembled 2x4 frame over the hood. It would be just as easy (easier?) to assemble the 2x4 frame around the hood. Exactly. It's not a very good picture but if you...
