pack - Just a few cans of spray foam and it'll be 'just fine'! :lol:
 
Re: Everything Is Bigger In Texas

Also like the "flying" cantilever of that shed, or are those posts wrapped in invisibility tape? :lol:
 
Re: Everything Is Bigger In Texas

jd - good idea, since everyone knows that spray foam is a good firestop substitute!

vegas paul - Just make sure they get the stuff rated for 'Residential' use only. ;)
 
Re: Everything Is Bigger In Texas

We've got a small prisoner transfer building being built right outside our office. They flashed part of that roof exactly the same, except they had the decency to use clear caulking so it didn't quite look so bad. Of course they also didn't call for footing inspections and had to dig them up. Then they weren't according to the engineering so they had to re-do them. Sometimes a guy just can't win. :roll:
 
Re: Everything Is Bigger In Texas

certainly won't need gutters.. although a downspout might be a good idea..

is this really in the US?

wow
 
Re: Everything Is Bigger In Texas

That's pretty cool,with the roof sloping in two directions no need for a gutter, just put a downspout at the corner. Big Mac
