Rear tires look to be about 23.4 mm wider . . .

VERY nice!! Well done.

FWIW, I used PEX for air compressor lines in the walls to 10 locations in my garage. All are home-runs back to a manifold. Usual pressure in lines is 80-100psi. Built the garage 11 years ago and have had no issues or leaks.

Utterly fantastic! Thanks for sharing this video with us.:beer:

Looks like a nice location! Off to a good start!

Have always done well with Sherwin Williams -- used for 15 years. They have a 30% off sale this weekend as I just bought some yesterday to paint the house garage.

Ran mine out to the end and will (hopefully!) pave up to it soon.

Griots has a retractable hose reel with 60' of 5/8" hose. Here's the link: http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&SKU=10509

BMW, One other thing to consider is using colored concrete. With a blacktop drive I wanted an area for power washing etc that wouldn't ruin the blacktop so I had a 10'x16' pad poured outside of the side garage door and had them put a brown dye in it so the muck and dirt wouldn't show so much...

Good luck, hope he can get you a better price!

Agree wholeheartedly. think that's why mine has held up so well. I'm in the woods and have a pretty good hill coming down to the house so concrete really wasn't considered. FWIW, was recently quoted $5900 to do about 4700sf of new drive with 2 1/2" airport mix from the same guy who did my...

Just got a Chamberlain 1/2 HP belt drive and love it. Very smooth and quiet operation. Would recommend w/o hesitation.

FWIW, I have a seven year old blacktop drive, 1100' long with circle in front of house and 35x50 turnaround at the side garage. About 2 1/2" of airport mix Blacktop was put down over a well compressed stone base (~4-5"). A close friend who's been a blacktop paver operator for 30 years says seal...

Thanks its slowly but surely coming together. Sure picked up a LOT of good tips here. The DOW board is STYROFOAM® Brand R-15 Square Edge 3x24x96 on top of 6 mil vapor barrier. Poured 6" of 4000psi concrete on top. As it was 101F today it seems it'll be a while until I get to see how it works!!!!

I have a 30 gallon tank that hooks into the boiler I use for the radiant heating -- I think it uses an integral heat exchanger in order to keep the radiant system closed. No shower here either. Problem with an "open" system as I understand it is you couldn't use antifreeze in it.
