I used two 3/4 cleats on the wall behind my 4 wall cabinets, at 1/3 and 2/3 heights, plenty strong, easily square and best of all I could slide the cabinets along the longer cleats to position them where they worked the best. Any cabinet over a workbench cuts out the light but that is why...

No idea on building in So Cal, here in BC building costs have increased by double in the last 18 months. This is due to the rapidly expanding construction boom and Covid19 supply chain delays. I have built my garage slowly to find materials as cheaply as I can find them and I am now to the...

Okay now I understand what your questions were relating. Yes it is pretty simple for a system, effectively it is considered one zone with no zone valves. If I do end up with restrictions down the road a metered manifold can easily be attached. I had considered going that route but at this time...

It is one zone, with 4 loops as you don't want to have 1/2 pex in concrete longer than 200ft to maximize heat transfer from what I have read. Each of my loops is not laid down with the same density. I made large spacing in the bay where I park boats and cars with very high density under the...

I have just completed my heating system.After a week and a few small hiccups it has brought my garage up to 20 degrees celcius. Heating costs are minimal, as stated before by others a couple dollars per day. For my initial setup I purchased a used $50.00 Kenmore water heater, with 800 feet of...

I dropped the ball on updates. I now have a 8x 30 mezzanine, panel and pole connection prepared. Life has been busy, it has been a struggle to get time set aside. Sent from my SM-A530W using Tapatalk

Tool kits in; - garage- 3 separate kits for different benches - motorhome - two motorcycles - car - truck - boat - quad - house - garden shed Not including miscellaneous items left at strategic locations like the hot water tank, kitchen drawer etc. Somebody I knew called me a "chrome addict"...

This is Falean, she is out in the garage with me so much, I had to get her a proper bed and her own coveralls. She is getting on 17 and doesn't mind waiting a few hours for me to finish doing whatever I need to accomplish. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Winter hit, storm after after storm carried some pretty aggressive 90-100 kph winds. Wind, rain, snow slows any kind of sheeting or building wrap but here is where I am at! Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

I didn't compare the finishing costs, my preference would have been to have built more along pole barn lines. I chose to use this one more for material cost. The building was 10 thousand delivered and for the cost I figured the finishing costs would be taken as they came but I have a plan to cut...

Summer came and went, life interferes and fall hit hard and wet. I am framing the end walls with a few gusts, my 12x 10 garage door is set in the track, and the front wall is partially framed in an attempt to keep the water out! Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

After the initial scare of too many helpers with too much experience to listen...I started working on each panel on my own with my 12 year old grandson assigned to help. A couple good friends dropped in to help, and we managed to bolt things together. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

After a suitable time to wait for dryer weather and the subsequent help to start construction, March hit and I made it this far. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Concrete poured January 20, just a day after I left on a road trip to see motorcycle show and my new Grandson. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
