That’s the goal. The platform would run the length of the vehicle and then 90 degree and then stairs down landing between the two vehicles.

Yes the stairs come flush with the door which is about 1.5’ offSet from the corner. The stairs themselves are about 48” wide which is huge. I was planning on running a straight 6-8’ beam (maybe made out of 4x4?) and then using 4x4s as upright supports. I had a bmw I3 that was leased that I...

Is this just to find out what’s under the brick? I basically need to remove it all.

This is what I’m looking at doing

I also ran all the inside wire through conduit since it’s a metal building. I finished all the outlets and hung lights. A friend of mine recently got these lights from amazon and I was impressed with them. So far I have 20 of these LED lights in the garage and feel like I can get a tan at night...

I was able to rent a trench machine and run a 24” deep trench from the house to the garage. I ended up running conduit cause I’m weird like that. I ran 6 gauge wire in a single run and a 60A fuse off the house. Also grounded to two grounding rods outside of the garage per code. Each side of the...

This is before and after

So where to begin? It’s been awhile since I was able to give an update. I went through a wedding, family loss, a deployment to the Middle East, and a recent knee surgery all within a year. Following the deployment I got my act together and put a lot of effort into getting the garage done. Or at...

I’m looking into a new car and everything I am looking at doesn’t fit in the attached garage due to these stupid brick stairs that lead into the house. I had the idea of demolishing the stairs and building a walkway out that would exit between the two vehicles. The hood of the car would extend...

could you just use a rheostat?

I also had a friend of mine come out and run the conduit through the garage. He was a lot better at it than I was. I was able to start running wire before the day was over but still lots of work ahead. Whats everyones go-to for lights now days? I plan on running LED lights but there are a ton of...

So its been a long time without an update. To be perfectly honest the wedding started sucking up all my available time. The wedding went off without a hitch and the honeymoon knocked off a bunch of my aviation-geek bucket list items. Anyways, I ended up using the garage as a storage unit for...

It actually appears that I can run 12 outlets on a 20A circuit (8 on each wall). I will probably bump my lights down to 15A since they will be all LEDs and only I will only have 10 outlets(5 for inside and 5 outside lights). Then I can run a 30A for my lift/air compressor and still be under the...

Thanks for the help. I read through your thread and thats a lot info! I am looking at running 2x 20A runs on each side of the garage with 5-6 outlets. Another 20 A run down the center for the lights. I also need to run a 30A 220 for the lift. Understanding that I now will have a need for 90A...

I don’t need to worry about voiding a warranty or changing structural integrity? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
