vinyl is not my type, but if you like it then good for you beer.gif

looks like a nice size garage. interesting layout, but again you must have picked it out because it appears to be a custom to me

what are the black posts on the deck for? and you should think about adding some stairs over the retaining wall behind the garage. Its a long walk around the wall

We used cedar impressions for the siding, After a # of houses, You get sick of painting every 3-4 years. ( I am to old for it ) garage is 42w x 30d. Stairs around to the back are built in to the retaining wall at the RR of the house (not visible in the pic ) We will be putting a pool in this summer and that is the best way to access it from the front. Also the black posts you see on the deck are the jacks for the staging. ( They dont stay ).

realistically, it probably costs less to heat that house than your average trailer home.

My mom has a lot of students who get state funding for the heat, because many trailer homes are over $300 a month to heat, due to the lack of insulation. In contrast, my parents home is a touch over 3000ft, and is less than $200 a month to heat in the winter time. And our house is 20 years old, but with a 2 year old furnace. We keep meaning to put more blown in into the attic, but never get around to having it done.

New houses built by a good builder by a buyer who knows what to ask for are extremely efficient

:lol2 very nice. I figured you would have wanted stairs from the garage side down to the back, without hvaing to go in the house. Unless your going to have a circular drive for the guests to park in so that side will be more accessible? just wondering

We moved in Dec 2 and filled the oil tank and the propane tank. Oil is for heat only.Propane is used for hot water,cooking,gas fireplaces and the grill. Dec was cold up here and with the heat on 70, we used 62 gallons of oil and 44 gallons of propane. The entire house was insulated with icynene and we used Anderson 400 windows. I thought the fuel consumption was very low

I have no experience with oil/propane for heat, since up here its all NG. what does that equate to in dollar amounts? up here propane is about $.80/lb, but I don't know how many pounds in a gallon

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
