My neighbor says don't raise the floor in the room created from the original garage - that he's always seen moisture problems when people do that. I'm thinking that when extending the heat and air out there of putting a couple of small ducts under the floor at the far end and a couple of open vents at the near end (back toward the return) as a way of moving air through what becomes a crawl space. It's a sealed and insulated area so any heat or cooling ducted under there isn't really lost to the outside. It moves the air and keeps the environment in the space under the living area close to what you want in the living area - also minimizes heat loss through the floor. It looks like one of the design concepts these days is controlled crawl spaces to do something similar.

The ceiling in that room is the same as the rest of the house, so the biggest other obstacle may be raising the outside door, but that seems doable. The new garage has a lower ceiling, so the only idea I have is a cutout in the room with steps down to the current garage door. Just have to put railings around like you see in a lot of open upper floors with stairs descending to the lower floor. Looses some useable space, but it's a huge room - it was at least a very spacious two car garage.

Those are at least a couple ideas to discuss with the contractor. If you've got any thoughts on them, they are always welcome.

I would make the floor level because it doesnt cost anymore in materials that way...its still just a band, floor joists, and plywood. Higher is better for air circulation beneath the floor joists. What most people do wrong is that they dont seal the garage floor before buildimg the floor system and concrete sweats moisture. They need to lay down thick 6mil plastic covering the entire slab floor and seal any possible cracks or openings in corners etc with a fat bead of 100% silicone OR a polyurethane sealant (I like NP1 polyurethane sealant. We use it under all exterior doors and on the roof. Its instantly waterproof and can be used right before it rains even on the roof) running a vent or 2 under there to make it a conditioned crawlspace is a good idea too. I have never done it before but its a good idea if done properly.

We cant beat these refs and Bama.

Last week 10 to1 penalties vs ark
Last time at Bama? 8 to 1 penalties

Today? 5 to 1 penalties already

Joey had no excuse for being in the endzone on a play that was started on the 9yd line. No bueno.

Im not even gonna let it piss me off though. We cant beat these refs and Bama at bama.

Lmao just got robbed again on that bs offsides not called.

Even these 2 bammers calling the game said it was offsides.

Did yall see the ref in the black hat giving the other ref a hard time for the personal foul flag??? He wanted him to pick up the flag on that BS

Garbage SEC refs are garbage

Gonna have to be perfect the rest of the way. 9-3 is a good year too in a reloading year. More than half the VN posters picked 9-3 before the season started.

IF we don't have SEC caliber players at BOTH Safety spots next year...somebody needs to be fired. Gotta spend the money in the portal to get help back there or we will be forever a 9-3 team or worse.

Our offense has -2 points at halftime...7points scored for UT and 9points for Bama. I listened to JG on the radio yesterday talking about his goal line fumble that bama returned 99yards to break the game open after calling his own number down there. Joey just did pretty much the same thing. That was a terrible playcall though. We HAD to pass that down so that if we didnt score the incomplete would stop the clock. You cant have your QB stare down the TE the entire play then throw a 25yard sideways pass on the goal line. Bad call, bad throw, bad result
