Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

Errors or Omissions

This content on this web site is based on personal amateur experience and should in no way be construed as professional advice.  I built a garage with the information I have learned and presented on this site, but that doesn't necessarily mean YOU can build a garage with the same information. There is no substitute for sound personal judgement. Building-A-Garage.com takes no responsibility for any information presented on this web site that may be in error, whether it be due to a mistake in publicly available information provided to us, our own error such as a typo, or information that has changed since the article was originally published.

Advertising and Ad Blocking Software

This web site cannot exist without advertising, it is what pays for our time, hosting fees, and other expenses. The price you pay for having free and open access to this information is that you have to see some advertisements. The ads are targeted specifically to this web site, and typically represent excellent discounts or coupons for construction projects or tools. This web site can only continue to exist if visitors view advertisements. If you have ad blocking software installed, please consider this fact. This web site DOES NOT have pop up ads, "you have just won $1,000,000" ads, or any of that garbage. Building-A-Garage.com has ads from real businesses that want to help with your projects, plain and simple. So do all of us a favor and turn off the ad-blocking software. If you happen to go to a web site that bothers you with pop up ads and other garbage, don't go to that web site anymore, and send them a complaint via email if you have the time. THAT IS THE BEST AD BLOCKING THERE IS.
