I dont think you should use a vacuum unit as a compressor. I don't think it will work, and the parts will not be rated for a very high pressure. The compressor and receiver would probably only be rated for 30 PSIG.

Well the entire lot is only 4200 sqft, so I don't have that much room even if they would let me.

I agree, but I wanted the service to the garage to be big enough.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure I can make it this big. It's a small lot with strict building codes.

Hi All, I'm designing a 24' x 16' detached garage for my property. It will be used for woodworking, storage, repair, etc. Does this seem like a good general design? Anything you would change? The building department told me door has to be 9', so I'll need to move the man door to the side...

Well I'm 52 and learned enough sketchup to make garage plans. It is not hard with all the tutorials, and a few days to dedicate to the software. It will probably help with lots of projects.

Hi All, I don't have an electric car, but I wanted my garage to be ready for one. If I put in a 240V 60 amp breaker, will I be reasonably future proof? It is an attached garage. I was going to run an 80 amp service to the garage.
