Would love to get my hands on some....spread the word north,to Alberta ,Canada...eh? :beer:

Thanks for the reply, my garage floor is a floating slab, now I am not sure what you mean in the above quote? Don't anchor posts? Don't they have to be anchored ? One good wind and it would be gone! Or do you mean anchored to the garage structure? 3/4 crush, no cement?

Did a search here and really didn't come up with much on lean to's I built a 28x38' x10' garage last summer and bought enough tin to do my garage roof as well as a lean to this summer. I would like to know how deep into the ground I need my support beams, what size,bracing,cement,etc from...

I am just finishing up a 28x38 garage, I made 2 , 10x8 overhead doors on the gable end for daily drivers,then put a single 10x8 overhead at the far end for my work shop, this will be for pulling vehicles in to work on,change oil,etc. When I designed it I always came back to this design, as we...

I just got my ceiling of my new garage blown in, R-40 cellulose, 28x38' for Just under $1,200. Alberta,Canada.

Ok, I have a brand new Reznor V3 UDAP 75k furnace, tstat is a white rogers 1e56N-361, R going to R terminal on the back panel of the heater, W4 on tstat to W1 on heater. Gas line purged of all air,leak tested,heater cycles,clicks like its trying to litre, but the gas valve I don't think is...

Recent codes have changed up here in Ab , Canada calling for Catlll venting, now the wall thimble I got (Z-Vent) has one end 4" dia and the other half 4.5", I was told the bigger one goes on the inside but is this is going to allow a bunch of cold air into my heated garage? Doesn't seem right...

\Ok, reznor V3 75k btu, wiring your basic 2 wire tstat, instructions are vague, Red terminal on heater to R on tstat, W from tstat to W1 or W2??? TIA.

Thanks for the replies, I will phone the inspector to confirm.

Looking to hook up my Reznor 75K BTU heater w/power vent, asked one plumber if I could use galvanized B vent to vent direct outside the wall(horizontal) he said yes, asked another and he said one if you are venting up through the roof..if horizontal the new code calls for stainless steel..Is...

So, not sure what is right or wrong, I will try to get a local (Alberta,Canada) Electrician to have a look, I did have one look at it and he figured it looked fine the was I had it (conduit from outside to LB then stubbed into the wall) Will also phone the local inspector and report back...

Yes, here is a link :http://www.nexans.us/eservice/US-en_US/navigate_252022/600_V_Underground_Secondary_Distribution_.html#top I did not install this wire, it was dug in by the previous owner. Also note.....I am not an electrician:shocking:

Ok, another question,I have my power supply up to the garage,it is running in a 2" pvc conduit to an LB,I haven't drilled my hole into the garage yet but once drilled, can I just stub a small 2" piece of conduit into the garage from the LB then route my wires to the panel? Or do I have to attach...

Well,too late...I purchased 2-5/8" x10ft grounding rods today,placed them about 18" away from my footings and 10'5" apart. Will tie them together with #6 copper and back to the panel. The shack and cmpgrd have ground rods already. Thanks!
