Considering Mr. Rams' background, in the realm of air moving accessories, a small fleet of these might be more appropriate....



Or if he wanted to stay in a constantly stressed out state, maybe some of these:

I was wondering if the insulation was open or closed cell.  Being closed, you got considerable increased r-values, added structural strength and less susceptibility to damage.

Didn't see the door opener, nice.  Those seem to becoming more popular with less moving parts.

Looks like you got the A/C settled and it may not be allowed by code, but a small pellet stove would heat that like nothing. Heck, 2 candles would probably do.

Not a fan of mini-split installs, at least not yet.  Many brands have not proven long term reliability.

If your thinking of adding a "shed style" roof to the front over the garage door, I'd check in with the building manufacturer for guidance.  Changes are they're been there before.

Can't see how you can put one on more than 3-4 feet deep w/o post support.

Awesome build. cooldude

The first one pictured would be nice to have.  The second, not so much.   Once showing off or as we called it, Cowboying, I almost inverted an OH 58 Super A unintentionally.   Looked at the green house above my head and all I could see was a grassy field.  Up was actually down.   I don't wish to remember that every time I look at a fan.  The young female Captain I was trying to impress thought it was great, she had no idea how close we came to dying.

Thanks.   That closed cell insulation makes a tremendous difference.  There's a significant difference in the temp between the insulated portion of the wall and the upright posts where the insulation was removed.   That's one reason I'll most likely be putting up Sheetrock covering up those posts.

I tend to agree on that mezzanine about post support.   It may not ever get built just because I don't want anything on the floor that might interfere with other things moving or just taking up the space.  But, neither the sheetrock nor the mezzanine are going to happen soon.

Ron , you know since you and Trump pay cash for everything it doesn’t help your credit! That has never been a problem for me.

I didn't used to only use cash, that changed when I was finally able to get someone near and dear to me (and myself) to quit using that dang credit card.

That may be correct, but it's been alluded to that fact that I have a relationship with a suspicious character in KY.   I've denied that, don't know anyone there but a really nice CFO but..............

I can’t imagine you being associated with any suspicious characters but then again there are a lot of Democrats in the state!

Awesome Ron.   cooldude

Color me jealous.

Except for possibly dinging a gas tank or something, how about a basketball hoop?   Grin

Totally agree  cooldude

Instead of a sportsball aperture, maybe a VRCC sign, like this?

Serk, thanks for posting that pic for me.   cooldude

Took me a while to figure out where I wanted that sign then about two minutes to get it inside the decorative pattern of the window.   I thought it was a perfect place to put it.   Inside, protected from most of Mother Nature's wrath and an obvious indication of what awaits those who enter my domain.  Wink

Rams   cheers
