You can upgrade windows, it just has to be approved and all that bs. (In my case at least)
2mAn, houses are an entirely different beast. If you want the garage to be a priority, make it a damn priority. I've had the garage on my personal list for years and I always get sidetracked by the roof, additions, new flooring, upgraded appliances, new furniture, you name it. Garage is cleaner, but still exactly the same.My previous build (currently E30-less)

But it's a rewarding expenditure and hopefully will appreciate enough so as to give you most of your money (both the interest and renovations) back should you ever sell. :up:"A good memory for quotes combined with a poor memory for attribution can lead to a false sense of originality."

Ok time to get crazy. Had an electrician friend check out my situation... pulled the cover of the box off to look closer at the situation
he wanted a closer look at things and before I knew it we had two holes in the wall...
Then he just left...
Today I took his instructions and care package and proceeded to put a glory hole in my floor
In process...
And a little while later, glory hole ready for business
I’m meeting up with him tomorrow and we’ll see what’s next , I think it’s the lobotomy drill bit and maybe a skylight in the garageSimon

At least that wall texture is an easy match. Compared to today's textures that is going to be cake to patch."A good memory for quotes combined with a poor memory for attribution can lead to a false sense of originality."

I suck at it though... always hire out drywall prep as I don't have the patience for paint-prep work on sheetrock. I'll cut it, hang it, and paint it. But I'll be damned if I'm taping, floating, or texturing. ;)"A good memory for quotes combined with a poor memory for attribution can lead to a false sense of originality."

I sucked at it until I bought a duplex and was on a tight timeline to get a couple of tenants moved in. All of the recommended guys worth their salt were booked full.
So I asked for a quick lesson from a friend, grabbed the trowel and got to work. By the time I hit the last bedroom in the first unit I was a fucking machine. Hand and shoulder pain was rampant, but I'll be damned if it doesn't look good.
Patchwork, for me, is a breeze as well. Mud is so cheap by the box, compared to that spray can knock down trash, which I can never get to look quite right.My previous build (currently E30-less)

Almost two years into my first home- year one consisted of replacing the garage roof which had just passed three worthless inspections. Halfway through yr two, I caught this out of the corner of my eye when mowing today. It's a bit of a mystery. Popped nail, rotted wood, I'm assuming the shingles just ripped off and there wasn't anything but rot underneath it.

AWDBOB do you have a tree where critters can access the rooftop? Looks like something wanted in there, even those 3 tab shingles don't just rip away like that no matter how old. A popped nail through the shingle could definitely start that, but you have something else going on there. If that were a wind event your shingles would be in your neighbor's yard.
Next time consider installing FHA style galvanized flashing's, they will out last you for about the same price. I have rain gutter envy...good luck.
