Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) They're putting out the work, so what are you anticipating as far as concrete completion? It looks like with good weather they could be done in another 2 days if the stars align (1 day for house/driveway toward road and 1 day to complete to road)...

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) Sorry to respond late, we're currently inundated with the closing of our 2nd home and I hadn't had the chance to check back in. You will need to consult with whomever you are contracted with for natural gas and most likely they will have AGL or...

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) It's good that they will address it, just hate the wait and see approach when a load calculation and meter verification could have been performed to tell you exactly what you needed from the get go. Regardless of my opinion on the matter, should...

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) Yes, a tracer wire was always required when I did underground in your area but that was some years ago. Generally, we laid the pipe and then either used a spacer or backfilled several inches before laying the tracer. It can then be located with a...

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) Is that a 1" NG line coming from the house to the garage or 1.25"? Just curious as to what the btu requirements were for the tankless and the length of run from the house to unit. Did they also run a tracer as I don't see one in the picture.

That's not a bad run if that's total pipe footage and not just a linear footage from point a to b. The typical complaint is wait times, and wasted water for that matter. Minimum flow is usually in the .25gpm ballpark as was mentioned above me. My wife had a bad habit of just cracking the hot...

There are so many factors to consider before making this decision. As mentioned, what is the composition of water coming into the home...impe less than roughly 80 ppm or ~5 gpg should be gtg with normal cleaning routines. Where will the wh be located in relation to the pou? Is there currently a...

Are you over in East Cobb around Lower Roswell/Johnson Ferry/Papermill? I'm pretty sure I've seen those cars around. Wonderful setup btw.

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) I would think you could find it locally somewhere that carries industrial cleaning products. You could try the freezer method, it works better than heat, but still a bit tedious. As a side note, if you ever need a son who you need not claim but...

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) You could start off with that, no harm there but I don't think it will oxidize those stubborn stains. We normally use 30%, with 12-15% being probably the least I would recommend. You can always concentrate it yourself but it's a waste of chemical...

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) Are those porcelain? May I suggest a mix of hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, roughly 50/50, or in other words peracetic acid. We use that concoction here at work at our plant for everything from the sinks to our lab glassware. I've actually plugged a...

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46) I signed up here to view all of the creativity in designing a personal garage and must say I'm in awe thus far of your setup. I'd love to see this monster in person at some point. On another note, you won't be disappointed in your decision to go NG...
