Long time with no update. Moved in and had to work every day for a refueling outage and with the virus stuff going on it’s been a mess. Not nearly enough time has been spent in the garage! I have gotten some settling into the new house. Got the rear section of the floor coated and started to...

I like craigs idea on leaving the wall there, Wish I could've done that on my new house build. It will help keep the dust and debris from "working" on the daily drivers. Also, talking to people that have the single car door closest to the house like it better, as your not opening the big door...

Your runs should be like stated above no more that 225-250. 1/2" oxy barrier pex is standard. I used blue ridge for my house and garage. I provided them the layout and they provided me a quote with what i would need, after purchasing they provided the layout of the tubes. It worked flawless for...

Small update, we did move in Friday, although everything is not done we had to be out of our old house. Here’s a small update with a few pictures. The drywallers spent over 12 hours finishing up the drywall on Saturday and didn’t leave till after 11pm. Don’t have the boiler hooked up yet, but...
