We are truly blessed to have found each other. Now we have two awesome sons and a dog. Amazing. 12 years and counting.

I love you even more!

Comment on Pocahontas Lineage by TDesmond

My great-grandmother, Doris Maude Blackwell-Desmond, was of African and Native American descent. She told me that her grandmother (paternal I believe) was named Pocahontas Bolling-Taylor, was from Virginia, and that our family were descendants of “the” Pocahontas. I’ve researched her claim to the best of my ability, but geneological records for African-Americans from that time period (1830-1840) are few and far between. If anyone can help me shed some light on my family mystery, I’d surely appreciate it.

Thanks Bill. If you have a second sometime, please check out the framing and what is the name of the garage plans book?

Thanks,

Brian

Tom, the panel is a Siemens 100Amp box tied to a 60 Amp breaker in the main panel. Since I have only 5 garage circuits, I wasn’t required to have a main shutoff in the subpanel. I’ll have to look up the info on the brick and get back to you. It was the same that the builder used on the main house. It’s called a turned brick and the look is supposed to give it a more aged appearance.

Brian, I pulled that detail out of a garage plans book. I can’t recall if the framer actually put it (I’m out of town right now). The bigger issue is what will your inspector require.

The easiest way is to change the themes style.css and change the blogtitle id parameters.

Bill,

Great site, very resourceful with our hopeful similar project. Thank you! Question, on the plans - I see a 2×4 shoe plate, on top of the subfloor, that the rafters attach to. Why did you use this method?

Thanks,

Brian

Thanks for the information…I am in the process of remodeling our detached garage. As a result of this, I am updating the electrical portion. I like your electrical layout and because the pictures are so clear with detail,it seems like a fairly straightfoward job to tackle as a homewoner. Even though I have done electrical work in my home over the course of 5 years, some projects require some additional input. That said, I am wondering if you could list the supplies(i.e. breaker box– it looks like a 100 amp siemens) that you used and the connnections you made(i.e. main panel). Any info would be greatly apreciated…

on another note, do you still happen to have the manufactuer of the brick and the color species?

Thanks again,
Tom

Hi Bill,
I have a newbie question, too. Is it possible to change the font and/or size of the title above the masthead?
Thanks for such a great theme, I really love it.
