I'm looking into getting operators for my 2- 14x14 clopay insulated overhead doors they are 465 lbs a piece. They are on standard radius tracks and I have plenty of ceiling height. Just wanted some input on doing trolley vs jackshaft operators? I can buy the liftmaster 3900 for $270 on ebay...

I got a cfm required for each room based off square footage and should be able to size my ducts off that right?

The whole heat loss/gain doesn't make sense and I looked at a ductilator online and couldn't make sense of it.

Planning on installing flex ducts on floor boots just to get out from under the floor so I can insulate the ceiling in the garage below. I'm thinking of just putting an 8" flex duct in each room and then put dampers on back at the main trunk in the crawl space.

I contacted the truss manufacturer and he said they punch the numbers into a program and it spits out a truss detail and that's what they build to. And he is not an engineer but he thought if I put a header in and blocked between the bottom chords that I "should" be fine.

I was planning on putting osb on the backside of the framing to give the fiberglass insulation a backer from the cold attic. But I was trying to figure out whether or not the 2x4 is supporting the top chord or holding the bottom chord from deflecting more. I wanted to put in a door big enough...

Pics are sideways and I didn't figure out yet how to rotate them

I have gambrel attic trusses on top of my 36x50 garage. The attic part is 20x50. And I want to put a door in each sidewall upstairs to access the attic space. Trusses are 2' on center. So to get a 36" door in I need to cut one of the 2x4 wall studs/truss braces out. Was thinking I could just cut...

Then cut registers in above all the doors to the rooms and put the return in the main room.

Sounds like I'll just run an 8" duct to each room and a couple 8" ducts in the main room. And put dampers on all of them at the trunk duct.

I was planning on putting the supply ducts in with floor boots, and then cut a return in the dining room/kitchen wall and put registers in over top of the doors for each room.

I'm located in South Central Pennsylvania
