  • Assessing and Repairing YOUR GARAGE STRUCTURE
    for do-self or contracted repairs Assessing and Repairing YOUR GARAGE STRUCTURE Sooner or later, most homeowners must decide whether it’s better to repair or replace an old garage. We suggest that you start by taking a good look at its overall structure. In communities with older homes, many garages were built for smaller cars. They were certainly not built to the quality standards of the houses – in fact, they may not have been designed to be permanent structures at all. As a result, some areas that frequently fail are: • the place the wall framing meets the foundation (if there even is a foundation!) • the rigidity of the side walls • the structural framework of the roof (which is often undersized or improperly supported) • the framework around the doors and windows • a rear wall that has either rotted out because there was never a gutter installed, or has had an extension for a longer car cut into it, destroying what little structural integrity it may have had originally. The framing system of a garage (see illustrations at right and on last page) starts at the bottom with a sill board, the piece of wood that sits on the foundation and upon which the wall is built.) This board is attached to the wall studs. At the top of the studs is a top plate, usually two 2 x 4’s nailed together. Roof rafters, the boards that support the wood and shingles on the roof, usually rest on top of the top plate. If any part of your framing system is damaged from water leaks or insects, it will weaken the whole structure.

    HOME R EPAIR S BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA MERIT BADGE SERIES HOME REPAIRS “Enhancing our youths’ competitive edge through merit badges” Note to the Counselor Nothing encourages pride in one’s surroundings more than being able to improve them through one’s own initiative and resources. That is why the Home Repairs merit badge can be so important to the development of a young person. Once a Scout learns basic home repair skills and applies them to his own environment, he will have a lifetime resource: his ability to learn new skills. Home repair, however, can be intimidat- ing at first, especially if the Scout lacks a role model for such activities. If possible, provide one-on-one or group activities that will get the Scout off to a good start. Encourage each Scout to acquire a good set of basic tools, and help Scouts learn to keep their tools in one place and in good repair. That way, they will “be prepared” to handle repairs as needed. There is no time limit for completing the requirements. Major tasks, such as waterproofing a basement, may be completed in tandem with another Boy Scout working on the requirement, and/or with the assistance of an adult. The majority of the work, however, should be performed by the Scouts earning the badge. This book provides a good overview of home-repair projects, but it is by no means a complete reference. For some requirements, space does not permit going into construction details or listing all possible repair variations. Therefore, any new construction or installation or completion of a similar project (for example, any toilet repair or adjustment) qualifies as achieving the requirement so long as the Boy Scout under- stands and demonstrates the basic concepts involved.
