What's the story with the height of the man door?

If only we had a Menards in TN... nothing but Lowes and Home Depot, callign aorund to get some prices on metal roofing to see what the cost difference is. If I go drywall I'm going to go with 4x12 5/8 sheets to minimize joints.

Not on that sheet it may on the others I'll have to look tonight. Short of it is light stuff, no plans to store engine blocks or transmissions!

Still can't decide between drywall or tin for the ceiling. Primary use is woodworking so I can imagine it might be a bit louder int here with the tin, but would reduce weight.

They installed at 24" o.c., so using your formula it comes out to 31.5psf BCDL says 10, so basically 21.5psf of storage load. Hope I did that right.

I'll be up there 2x a year for the decorations. 1 to pull them out and the 2nd to put them away. Biggest fear is that I wasn't going to be able to use the space at all having put in the expense to floor it.

I'll have to look for the truss manufactures contact information tonight as I don't have that page with me, but googling around it looks like the note BC: From 63plf at 6.00 to 63plf at 18.00 means the center cord supports 63 pounds per linear foot?

Seeing some threads on here talking about truss and the ability to support storage has me questioning the trusses in my garage (24 x 24). When we put the contract together I specified light attic storage. Live south of Nashville Tennessee, we get maybe an inch of snow a year that melts...

6 years later wonder if he installed the pump?

Attached picture of main panel above, note the ground kit holes on the right. the area I marked red is the bond I removed. red arrow is where the green bond screw was inserted. Doesn't appear to be ground bar kit installation holes on the left side would you drill and thread some or would...

Believe the 75 comes from the voltage drop calculator. 60 amp = $10 7 amp = $32 at local Home Depot

Thanks, I'll check that out it's a GE TM3220CCU and I do find ground bar kits available for it. Would definitely make it tidy and easier to work on.

Thanks everyone. Home Depot near me sells the 60 amp and 70 amp breakers on the shelf. Running 2-2-2-4 mhf with 60 or 70 amp breaker instead of 2/0-2/0-1-4 MHF and 90 amp breaker would save me about $120. In the GE panel (same brand as the main panel at the house) I'm using I removed the...

Aluminum, mostly wood working but not running a bunch simultaneously. Table saw (240 20 amp) dust collector window a/c unit at most.

Quick question on wire and breaker size. Using 2" conduit for entire run from main panel on side of house to sub panel in the garage I'll have roughly 135' to 140' of cable. 2-2-2-4 is readily available in my area. Would like to go 90 amp breaker, at this distance should the cable be...
