dave, i'm in dallas and will have a 700sq/ft garage with insulated walls and an insulated garage door... my heat is an issue, your cold is your issue... right now i'm thinking about a 36k unit.. one of my buddies use to do ac work.. his comment was "for a garage you can never go to big"...

For anyone looking for a new tig and mig machine linclon has the squarewave 200 and the 210mp on sale for 1,99$ for the pair. http://offers.lincolnelectric.com/garagepak/?utm_source=leco-home&utm_medium=slider&utm_campaign=GaragePak

i had the exact same experice this weekend... i was going to get one of ther 24k btu units as well... either way, i think i'm going to go with this company and this product... not too much more expensive than the highseer product and seems to be a much more reputable company...

I'm going to get one of the little ones from this company. One of the performance shops in town has several of their storage lifts and also uses their 2 post lifts for the shop. Also they run off on 115.. So, no 220 needed... http://www.directlift.com/Four-Post-Lifts-C9.aspx Hope this helps.

I actually asked the builder about this the wall's that you highlighted will be insulated. however, possibly not sound deadened.. I could talk to the builder about doubling up the drywall, or de-coupling the drywall from the studs using one of the channel systems. Or, i could possibly do that...

Actually, i was looking at aircompressor direct and then called quincy. This unit is pretty much the ideal unit for me if i buy new. Quincy said the estimated spl of the below compressor is 73bd.. http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Quincy-351CS80VCB-Air-Compressor/p11489.html Otherwise...

The wife and I are doing a new build. So, electrical is a non-issue.... I'll get 220 roughed in. I don't really plan on doing any significant amount of sand blasting. Also, the middle 5hp unit Lowes sells. So, i can buy from them and get the lowes warranty. Another option would be going...

Below are the 3 units i was considering. http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Quincy-2V41C60VC-Air-Compressor/p855.html http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Quincy-251CP80VCB-Air-Compressor/p856.html http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Quincy-271CS80VCB-Air-Compressor/p857.html

Hey everyone, I'm currently trying to decide which air compressor to go with. Originally i was dead set on a Quincy. However, from several of the recent reviews i've read it seems as though Quincy's quality control isn't what it use to be.. Also, it seems like their service department also...

your question about the stairs got me to thinking last night... and i think pushing out the main garage out 2 ft is going to be problematic. The game room on the second floor shares an exterior wall with the garage.. moving the garage wall out is going to throw everything off. I'm including a...

The stairs go above/through the pantry area on the first floor. the game room is partially above the garage. The single line below the game room is above garage storage. A non-havac storage room.

Part of the rational was to get the two cars out of the main garage. Depending on what the engineers say it will cost to do the 10 x 19. you may be right, and we may go that direction. re-engineering the roof line may prove to be cost prohibitive in adding the 10 x 19. Also, i just...

This plan is slightly old. They changed the washer dryer configuration that would not allow for a door way where you're talking about in the utility room. I see what you saying about the door to the master where the sink is. However, i'm 100% sure that our realtor will tell us no on getting...

There is a window; we moved the window to the garage. That window will also have a cedar awnning. Basically moving the plan from the bedroom to the garage wall. Since this is a storage garage our realitor said that garage door access as the only acces would be a non-issue. Our realitor was...

We are at the initial planning stages. We're signing a preliminary contract on Thursday. We discussed making the 10 X 19 a 12 X 19 instead.. But, we're already 10k$ over our desired max budget.. As far as the cars go. 1 is a 91 BMW coupe, a 318is, the other is a 2001 330 ci. The 01 is a track...
