I built an 18 x 35 Monolithic just outside Toronto, ON, Canada 3 yrs ago. No cracking, heaving etc. 2" insulation under the pad, 3' wings at a depth of 2' around the perimeter. Only 2' wing on the fence side. Heated by a ceiling mount furnace. Pad is 6" in the middle and 18x18 around the...

I have done this a few times. 1/4" fuel line. cut the head off a 1/4" x 2" bolt. Use it to join the old hose the new hose together. Tape it all up for a little extra holding power. Don't make it too fat.... Unbolt the starter, unbolt the recoil shroud, just need a enough room to push/pull...

Did you ask the owner? If you find out let me know, I'm curious too.

I am just finishing up a 18 x 35 2 storey garage properly permitted just outside Toronto. I use an Engineered Monolithic Slab because it is over the 55m max. I simply paid $300 for engineered drawings. The center is 6in thick, the perimeter is 18in deep with a 12in foot print and then tapers up...

The Heater is an LG Made buy Rheem Model GG40S06CVJ (yes I double checked)

So I got a free 3 year old GAS water heater from my neighbour. The Water Heater says "Suitable for Space Heating" on it. Is this a condensing water heater appropriate for infloor heating? Looked up the model info etc but could find anymore deatials. Thanks, Jamie

Just saw your other post the carriage door topic. We have a few things in common. I am 67ghiaTIV on thesamba. In my garage I have 3 vw projects a 67 karmann ghia Type 4 driving, 65 Double Cab waiting to finish drivetrain and interior, and a Manx Dunebuggy on the back burner. I started an 18 x...

Are you adding a footer below the slab or a stem wall above the slab?

Hoping to get this job done today can anyone give it a yay or nay. Don't really trust the Box Store people for suggestions.

Got my slab poured and forms removed. I stapled the vapour barrier to the inside of the forms so I can now add the side insulation over top of the vapour barrier. My plan was to cut the vapour barrie 4"above grade at the top slab edge, Use a waterproofing tar between the VB and the Slab to...

Thanks everyone. I was over complicating it. Talked with my concrete guy and I will tie to the wire mesh and keep it around 3" from the surface. I'll stay 1 ft from the outer edges. Insulation under the slab and around the slab walls. May even add the Horizontal wings to keep the frost away...

The ball has started rolling and could use some help. I am having an engineered slab poured for my garage floor. The perimeter 12"will be 17" thick and taper up to 6"thick through the middle of the garage. I understand the concept of heating a slab on grade but with the volume of concrete...

Did you use the Amvic Panels? I am not to far from you in Brampton trying to plan my build. Jamie
