    Well done, Shannon, I've always liked your Canadian home style presentation. When choosing the size of the ledger board, is it fair to say you simply use the same size as your joists that tie to it at right angles? Or, are you better off choosing the same size as your beams? Regarding your selection of beam and joist size, is the Canadian wood council prescriptive guide for residential decks a good reference choice?

It was pretty confusing but it looks like the exhaust vent is holding up the microwave and it was installed in a way that makes it very difficult for me to remove the exhaust vent so I can get at the exhaust vent mounting bracket.

  • @cluebin8398

    Note that the cut edges are rust prone, so it is best to hide the cut edge under the ridge cap or other transitions and have the factory edge be exposed to the weather. I've been told that using snips to make the cuts reduces the rust problem, but I find it very slow and difficult to cut wavy roof panels with tin snips. The fastest thing is to actually use a circular saw with a regular carbide blade on it and just accept that it will have a much shorter life than usual. The money spent on a new blade after you trash it cutting metal is worth the time saved.

    Hey Shannon. Love your videos as many of them have helped me out on multiple occasions. I'm just beginning a very similar project and was thinking about insulation As a previous person commented on insulation (2 inch foundation plus eps under the slab). Im of the mindset that due to your depth (well over 4 ft) it would be a waste of money with little benifit. Thoughts? If i was going to make my basement a living space my thoughts would be that a good insulated sub floor would be money better spent? Just looking for your opinion as i value it!! Thanks again for all the helpful content. Thanks again man!!!

    • @HouseImprovements
      @HouseImprovements 2 дні тому

      Your thinking is not wrong, but in some areas you may need to insulate the slab for efficiency code or if you are heating the slab then the foam is a good idea. It would be 2" foam and 4" slab. I'm not sure but 2" insulation is likely cheaper than products like Dry-core insulated subfloor panels
