I have a 200amp service and want to extend more power to the garage. Right now I only have a 120v 15amp circuit out there. I have a 60amp breaker to install in my house (Cutler Hammer) panel to feed my Sqaure D sub panel to go in the garage. My sub panel is a back feed through breaker style (I...

Spare time, yea right :lol_hitti All my free time has been spent working on my house, purchased it in april of 2006 gutted it and remodeled everything, just moved in this Jan. Took forever because I did al the work myself but I saved allot doing it all myself. I am now working on the outside to...

I'll be doing all the work myself so however I do it there will not be any labor rates :thumbup: I contacted my old boss he is an estimater for an hvac comany he can get me this unit http://www.schwankgroup.com/en/prod-lum-supra.asp which is something like 96% efficant and runs on propane. He...

Sorry. Its an old detatched garage 19'x24' with an 8' ceiling. It is block, with a wood frame roof. I will be building walls out on the interior and insulating with R13 in 2x3 studs. Outside of the block will be furred out and insulated with 1" foam then vinal sided. I will install 1/2" drywall...

Any better options for me?

My garage is 19' x 24' with an 8' high ceiling. Any idea what I will need in BTU's for that space? Leaning twords an electric ceiling mount unit or units, any recomendations? Trying to get around not having an open flame. Thanks,

I thought of that but the center beam is pieces of 2x6 screwed together, its all junk. I called my local lumber yard 24' 2x6's are $14.94 each free delivery since I am close :bounce: I think I am going to go that route and make nice attic space since this roof is self supporting. I am also going...

Only car, staying here for a awhile 10 years or so I guess till we outgrow the house, its not very big. Thats the only car going in the garage, I work on these cars though so more will be in there just not stored like my GN. Can't afford anything you just mentioned, would love to but can't do...

I made 2 scetch's in paint of the existing roof support hokey pokey ness, and my idea to reuse the top part by making new center supports. The garage was re-roofed 5 years ago, If i could redo the center supports I would save some $ as I am on a budget with this project. Let me know what you...

I goofed on the garage size also its like 19.5" deep x 21' wide. I am wondering if I might be able to just get away with running 2x6's 21' lengths to span acorss the garage block to block and tieing them into the roof beams running up the pitch in the roof then tieing 2x4's in to reinforce the...

More pics added, as you can see in the 2nd pic. Not much room beside the car.

Thanks for the reply's guys keep them comming. Here is the garage as it is, cleaned it up last night a little and took pics. All the lawn **** on the left side will be in a shed come spring. It was kinda hard to take pics in there, but you can see the mess up above me with the roof / center beam...

So use allott of isullation outside and none inside correct? My goal was to heat it in winter, just like 40 degrees so it keeps it above freezing temps. Then if I go out to work I can crank the heat up. I have a nice little window unit we had from our old house to put in for the summer to have...

I attatched pics of whats in the garage, enjoy :drool: Pics are from when it was in my parents garage, there's was heated :mad:
