yes of course, imo dont even bother if you are not going to do all walls and ceiling....leaving ceiling un-insulated would be like leaving big garage doors open. Hell i even got insulated doors.Totally worth it. btw, what are your intentions with the garage? If its gonna be just to store your...

In my opinion, insulated garage is worth every penny!!! I just added insulation and finished drywall in my 25x25 detached garage. It use to be too cold to work in winter and too warm in summers. After insulation went up i noticed it stays 9-10*C warmer in winter then outside temperature and so...

imo you cant have too many lights!! But i agree with msgross, have them on different switches...maybe switch for each row? Only change i would suggest is to have lights directly on top of work bench you have in lower right corner. This way you wont have shadows when using bench.. as pointed out...

wow nice build.congrats!!!

Ok thanks legacy. Do you carry it and how much is it for 24x25 garage? I am located in Vancouver,Canada so would also need it shipped to Blaine,WA ... Unless I can find it locally around here.

Um I think you are confusing epoxy coat with floor paint. I have worked in shops with epoxy coating and they are lot more durable than you think.

Ok what do you guys recommend I should use to fill the cracks? I always thought since cracks are too thin, it will be easily covered up by the epoxy as it lays thicker then paint. Also since I am doing 2 coats, it should not be visible. Also legacy, what is bridging primer?

I bought rustoleum kit from HD few weeks ago for my detached garage that we built back in January. Planning to do 2 coats of epoxy. Concrete floor has not been used yet and is free of any oil spills,etc. I have washed floor 3 times already to make sure there's no dust oN the floor before I apply...

wow sorry guys i could not respond as i have been travelling for the past couple of days. I must thank everyone for sharing their views and in return helping this newbie out! first of all,yes i do agree my electrician is being...well just lazy imo.I have been noticing he wanna take the easy way...

Thanks mmfh, I would like to look into those personally. He said those unit would req 30-40amp circuit because of the big fan. Maybe he's thinking about big commercial units?? I would have to do some research on the much smaller unit as I think it would do the trick in small shop.

ok guys i am planning on building 14'x 30'garage starting in june.I was talking to my electrician yesterday and after going through entire house's electric load,he strongly thinks i would not have enough left over amperage to run big heaters (mr freeze,etc) as it would put me over 200amp service...

I work for a honda dealer out in vancouver,canada.When i get a brake flush job,first thing i do is remove entire brake fluid out of master cylinder reservoir using vacumm bleeder.Most of the time i would need to get into every corner and bottom of the reservoir since thats where all the film is...

Yes i was also thinking about that at my work today.We have asymmetrical hoist at work that raises 6'0".I am 6'5" but i am planning on buying a hoist that 'raises arms 7' high. This way when hoist is not in use, i can always raise it up in case i need to work on a car that doesnt need a hoist...

Hm you guys are giving me lot to think about for sure. Here's whAt I came up with... I have my mustang parked in my attached garage. I am going to tape off an imaginary wall and see what 14' wide space looks with car parked inside. If It seems like its doable then I would just go ahead with...

Yep thats one of my concerns as well..at my work(honda dealership), i have 24'x14' size bay to work in.Most of the vehicles i work on leave about 5-6' infront of the the vehicle.Thats where i have my tool box and work bench setup. It seems very roomy because i have open space on both side of the...
