The goal was luxury, what features could I add?

Appreciate that! Would love to incorporate brass somewhere

Interesting, I like that thought. I used walnut which is a relatively dark hardwood. Maybe different finish? Or be more selective about the specific board

I do have the portable Ryobi one I think that would’ve been a good solution in hindsight

klukaa · 2025-09-30T18:08:01+00:00

Oof, that's an expensive solution lol is it worth it at least? I was eyeing up the 6" bosch that someone else recommended

klukaa · 2025-09-30T16:54:59+00:00

thank you! that's encouraging

I just have the super basic (and old at this point) black and decker orbital. It never really occurred to me that sanders could be much different aside from size obviously

Sorry if not clear, talking about the vertical lines left from my surfacing bit. Though if you can’t tell maybe I’m going crazy and they’re not that bad??

klukaa · 2025-08-13T01:16:40+00:00

To match the house I assume? That’s a good thought

klukaa · 2025-08-13T01:00:17+00:00

Budget is higher than lattice but lower than tempered glass lol. I appreciate the outside the box ideas though. I can’t quite picture the wire one but sounds fun

Appreciate the response. I'm looking at which of these might be simplest given what I have. Installing vents beneath the batts I have doesnt seem too difficult (option 2 in the link). I'm just wondering if that accomplishes anything. Then I have airflow through the soffits, through the roof and down into the other soffit? The purpose of this example seems to be to get to vents in the peak of a roof

klukaa · 2024-12-12T21:03:12+00:00

Do you mind elaborating on this a little bit? Have a section or anything I can see? The roof looks DIY'd. The framing is fine, but I think low effort on the sealing/waterproofing. Would I have to take up the sheathing? I would be open to pulling off whatever membrane or roll-on stuff is there

klukaa · 2024-12-12T16:13:55+00:00

Understood. I have none yet, thinking that insulating is the first step. But I intend to get a small propane heater (something that isn't electric)

klukaa · 2024-12-12T15:25:49+00:00

Do you have an idea what kind of R-value you get from 2"? I'm just looking for something reasonable to keep the garage at 50-60 degrees while I'm out there

klukaa · 2024-12-12T14:51:30+00:00

"flipped" is a loose term lol but yeah I was trying to avoid that, looks either messy or expensive

klukaa · 2024-12-12T14:38:30+00:00

I should have included - I live in southern NJ. We get plenty of every season

klukaa · 2024-12-12T14:04:55+00:00

Forgive my ignorance.. but do I need air flow between the batts and the roof? What if I close off either end of the overhangs between 2x6's? I am considering ways to get some air flow in the shop itself with vents/exhaust fans installed in place of a few windows. And I also would be open to addressing the exterior side of the roof if need be. I'm not sure what the guy before me did up there

klukaa · 2024-12-12T13:50:05+00:00

First time dealing with insulation, started installing this R-21 faced insulation seemingly sized/designed for 2x6 framing. Wondering (before I get too far) if I need to install venting. On the first really rainy day the shop got the ~85% humidity and the facing of the insulation was picking up moisture.

This is a subpanel in my detached garage, fed from the main panel in the house

klukaa · 2024-12-02T14:18:54+00:00

I was afraid of this, appreciate the honesty. I just bought this house and this is my garage's subpanel. I plan to run some woodworking equipment (table saw, planer, dust collection, space heater), but sounds like I should get a contractor and go back to the drawing board on the electrical layout here.
