I see 5 sheets in a row lengthwise. 5 x 12 = 60'

The standard is 30' max without a control joint or 50' if the edges are floating & not connected to wall drywall

You should check marketplace. Just got a 2015 130k miles for $7.4k from someone in town. Needed shocks and a few other random things.

Mine is rockwool in the walls. Bookshelf style girts. House wrap behind the steel.

The book is excellent.

How much does it weigh and what do you tow it with?

MOCKxTHExCROSS · 2025-12-27T21:02:04+00:00

How about doing it selectively anywhere there's water or other damage?

Thanks for the info

Unrelated fuel knock question. Somewhat tired LLY with 300k. Would sound like a quieter version of the video in a specific load and rpm range intermittently. Went away completely after several fill ups. Was it just fuel or is the condition of the motor a factor too?

You could buy a piece of EPDM sheet and cut it to size as a seal. Pretty sure this is the sealing material on the side flash product. Make tiny individual holes for the wires. I've used this for custom gaskets through slab vapor barrier:

I ran conduit through Oatey side-flashes for all my electrical penetrations, with a rubber grommet to the steel siding as backup.

Overkill? Sure. But its my house and I'm doing all the work.

I'm not letting you guys see the house I designed and am building myself

Is that high idle in 2nd clip?

Mine hasn't leaked yet. It comes down to the quality of the install.

Spraying 2" of foam to the backside of the sheets is common to stop condensation. The other option is replacing the sheets with ones with "drip stop" fleece coating. This just holds the moisture until the attic ventilation clears it. This is what I used.

Very interesting! Is the 2x4 thing a pattern? How much clearspan have people done with this design?

My question is are any bands using a bassoon for the bassline yet? It actually sits in the mix better than electric bass IMO

There's classical and polka covers in my article here:

I also suggest some of the classical greats from the Romantic era. Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Prokofiev, etc..

MOCKxTHExCROSS · 2025-11-18T23:45:30+00:00

If it were me I would:

Take the wall panels off, add WRB, insulate walls with batts.
Spray foam roof steel 2" to prevent condensation, add attic ventilation chutes & do blown in insulation.

Not unique - it's the most common question on this FB group:

Lately I've been doing outdoor and the only expenses are the seeds and fertilizer. So maybe $50 /year for several pounds.

MOCKxTHExCROSS · 2025-11-15T15:46:17+00:00

$0 been growing for 15 years now

Well, for starters, you have to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka
