Roof in garage no baseboard celing.
Control your garage s temperature.
Using a heater during the colder months will keep the garage s temperature stable and its condensation level under control.
No major cracks but some moisture when it rains.
The other night i was getting dressed to go out for the evening when i heard the most ominous sound a homeowner can hear.
Can be hosed off if needed.
Do i start with the floor redo the concrete or do i need to seal up the top of the ceiling so the rain doesn t get in which is why i think the concrete floor gets wet.
To my chagrin a rivulet of water was making its way down the bathroom wall and dripping off the chair rail.
No need for furring strips either.
If no fan is currently present install a panasonic whispergreen fan.
I would like to make it a peaked roof but realize that is a major cost.
Easily installed and looks great for a garage.
Turns out there was not one but six leaks scattered here and there around the attic.
If you have a working bath fan i recommend installing a programmable timer switch.
2 man job at best.
All attics vented or unvented should have an air barrier a properly detailed airtight drywall ceiling for example regardless of climate.
Omitting a ceiling vapor barrier by arguing that you have to let the moisture escape or because the house has to breathe out the top is actually correct in a way.
No tapeing no painting.
In this design the tops of the rafters attach to a load bearing ridge beam that runs along the length of the roof.
There was no ridge because the top of the roof was flat 6 wide.
The hips and perimiter of the flat portion were framed with lvl and steel flitch plates bolted together.
This will toggle the fan on and off throughout the day.
A structural ridge is the standard alternative to ceiling joists.
Mold growth on a bathroom ceiling is nearly always due to inadequate ventilation.
If you need to get into the attic part just unscrew one section.
I also put it on the sides which needed a few furring strips because i hung it vertically.
I have framed a cathedral hip roof.
Excess condensation can also be caused by improper roof drainage that causes leaks in your garage.
It is a flat roof garage.
It s also incorrect in a way.
