There are so many decisions to make in all this. So looking on senville website it looks like an 18,000 btu mini split is the size I will need to run. Would it hurt to go up to the next size or should I just stay at the 18k size? Would these need an installer to come in or is it something I...

So if I put like a decent sized propane tank behind the garage with a propane heater, would say a 100lb tank last all winter? Garage gets its most use on the weekends but would still keep it at 40 during the week. If the mini split is gonna take a while to get it heated up I don't think that...

Well I'm getting ready to start putting in insulation and drywall inside my garage and am starting to think about how I would like to heat and possibly cool it. My garage isn't big at roughly 25x30. I live in northern Indiana so it does get cold here and would like to atleast keep the garage...

I'm looking at building a garage onto the side of my house. The previous owners had poured a 32x28 concrete slab next to the house but they never poured footers in it. I was thinking of just running posts around the outside of the slab and building a pole barn style garage. Anybody see any...

What about just building a pole barn style garage around the outside of the pad? Can just put the post's on the outside of the concrete that way nothing will actually be sitting on the concrete. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

We do get some snow fall here so that does come into consideration. As for the slot drain, it would end up getting routed down towards the lower part of my yard where all the water drains to already.

New member here with a couple questions on designing and building a garage. When i bought my house it caught my eye because of the concrete pad that was next to the house. I've wanted to build a garage on it for some time now and its about that time to start this project. The pad measures...
