REUNITED WITH OWNER!
Found a pup in west end by Gridley-Graber. No collar when found. Black shepherd mix. Well behaved.
Let me know if you have any info on the owners, would love to reunite him with his family!
Planted a dozen mature (8-10ft) arbs in the spring of 2025 after we moved in not knowing any better. They all seem healthy, and are still growing. I agree in most use cases, arbs are not the best choice, but what else could I have planted here?
Second pic is the before.
I am building a small 14x20 garage in NE Ohio and before we start closing up walls I wanted to get some ideas to try and make the most of the space we have and future proof within reason.
We plan to use it to store 1 car in winter and for storage/small workshop area.
Here is what we got:
- 14x20’ footprint
- 8/12 roof with spread web trusses for some extra long term storage
These are our plans so far:
- Insulated garage door
- R-15 Mineral wool insulation in walls and under roof sheathing (will use rafter vents for proper airflow to ridge vent)
- Code here requires Type X drywall, so will be drywalling all 4 walls + ceiling
- Plan to add a mini-split for year-round use
- 1/2 OSB “floor” above ceiling to give us a flat surface to store items up there
- 60A 240V service from house, broken up into a couple 120V feeds and a 240V for future min split/ EV charger
Things we haven’t figured out yet:
- Do we need insulation in the ceiling, or is rafter insulation enough?
- Lighting, was thinking 4-6 recessed lights but up for suggestions
- Floor, leave as is, epoxy, sealant?
- Access hatch for attic storage
- Any clever storage ideas for a small space. We plan to store garden tools, power tools, skis, seasonal decorations, etc.
Anything else we should be considering?
I appreciate the help!
