Ok, so I have searched the forums and Google and Youtube for some ideas. We just built a new home and my garage is basically a 2 car detached with a boat stall. So it ends up being a little over 1300 sq ft. Well, my wife told the architect that she wanted to be able to stand up in the "Garage...

OK, cool, so my Matador Garage Door Insulation kit just arrived. I'll be installing it tomorrow. I have a Bionaire 2300 window fan on the way. It is cheap, but there aren't really any other better made window fans that will work with my window. Once I install all of that, I am gonna keep a...

Oh, I'm sorry, I was a little unclear on the whole house fan. What I was wanting to install was a Whole House Fan Window Unit, In the only window I have, hoping that bringing in the air from the outside would push the hot air out of the whirlybird vent on the roof......

Not to HiJack the thread, but I have the same type garage, non insulated 22x25 Detached with exposed attic/trusses. My plan is to simply keep the garage below 90* when I am not in there. When I am working in there, I raise both garage doors, and use an oscillating fan to keep cool. I...

once again to the rescue, great point on the water penetration issue on the back wall, although my home was built with these huge 2 foot eaves and that would help that situation, but then I would be missing the part of pushing the air out of the attic. OK, so now. I have one single whirly...

OK I have read several posts about the nylon tubing setup now, and I cant find it anywhere other than the rapidair stuff at northern tool. Several people have commented about finding the fittings and hose cheaper at parts places like grainger, mcmaster carr, but maybe I am overlooking it, if...

yes, I am talking about that kind of kit. So there would be a lot of pressure drop over a 50 ft run? So do we get the same pressure drop when we are using a 50 ft air hose connected directly to our small compressors even when they are less than 50 ft. from us? I mean I always use a 50 footer...

http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_120478_120478 So I guess this would be a viable option then? And there arent many of them out there, I've checked Sears and HD and Lowes, any suggestions...

Which do you guys find more useful in the garage, Disc Grinder, or Belt Sander? I'm a car guy, weekend warrior type of garage, along with house projects.....Any advice would be appreciated.

I was wondering one other thing, what if I mounted the fan on the back wall of the garage, wouldn't that also draw the breeze through the whole garage. Reason I ask is because I have a limited amount of usable storage space in the middle of the attic due to the roof pitch, and I would like to...

I've been reading the threads concerning plumbing your air, and I have a question. I have my compressor behind my garage, and want to plumb one line through the attic of the detached garage to the front of the garage and basically just have one drop, since a 50 ft air hose would reach all...

Cool, thanks so much for your advice and I will be following it. You've helped reinforce all the things I have read as they pertain to my situation. Now on to finding a whole house fan...thanks again.

So dwilliams, your saying that you would go ahead and insulate the walls and sheetrock them, then sheetrock the ceiling and insulate on top of that, and install a fan that would **** air out of the garage through the attic, and ultimately through the attic vent? I wonder if it would look too...

I recently moved and now have a 2 car detached as opposed to an attached, and I was wanting to take advantage of the clean slate I had now to create a nice garage to work in. I am now going to sheetrock and paint the garage along with epoxy coat the floor, and finally get to piece everything...
