I'm looking at a wall mounted hi-efficiency boiler. I want something that I only have to buy once and last me a long time. I'm just trying to keep this simple, I see some peoples setups and seem way complicated and others that are simple and seem to work well, that's all I need.

I have a 30x32 garage we put up 3 yrs ago. Put 2" foam under floor and three 300' 1/2" pex runs. Insulated walls with r13 and r30 in ceiling. No windows, 18ft insulated garage door and man door. 10ft ceiling on half and vaulted ceiling on other half up to 14 ft at peak. I'm wanting to get this...

I have a 2 post lift when I have my suburban on it probably has a little less than a ft to the top cross bar. I have 9 ft walls on top of block with scissor trusses over the lift. At the peak I have 14 ft and out from that is 3/12 pitch. But I have 32ft trusses. My truck isn't close to the...

When I did mine I put the nut on the top of the anchor with the washer and pounded it down through the lift plates and then tightened it.

This is how mine is. I'm glad I went with an 18ft door instead of a 16, those 2 extra ft make a big difference when backing stuff in at an angle towards the other side.

If you have the doors on the eave end you have to have some good sized headers. Mine is 30x32 but since I wanted a lift on one side of my garage I had to run the trusses the 32ft direction so I could have half scissor and half storage trusses. Anyways I have an 18x8 door with an 18"x3" header...

I had mine the same as yours with pex zip tied to mesh. I called around and the pump was only $250 more than renting two buggys. For me $250 extra was a no brainer for the peace of mind to get the pump and not take a chance on ruining the pex. The pump guy also had 'sleds' for the hose...

I got all mine from carter, some things they were a hair more than lowes or home depot, but for a few dollars savings I wasn't gonna drive all around town to pick everything up when carter was gonna deliver everything at once. They also accepted any warped or extra returns with no questions...

Get a conveyer truck if you can or else a pump. I had to pay $500 for a pump because I couldn't get a truck back to where my garage is. Didn't want to take a chance on ruining 500 worth of pex and all the time I had into it running it over with a buggy.

Mine was dry, I cleaned some a few months back that was on my vinyl post covers over a yr. I tried lacquer thinner and everything, didn't work. Then I read the bucket and it said clean up with soap and water, son of a b it came right off. This was Olympic dark colored brown stain on gray vinyl...

I got some on my house when staining my deck, I just used soap and water and the green scrub side of a sponge and it came right off.

Get a conveyer truck, they don't cost much at all if they are available, around here they are 40-50ft reach. We used a pump for my garage floor it was a lot of setup/teardown and cleanup work.

I would get the manifold and run the pex from that, then you have the exact length you need and no fighting later. You can pressurize it too and make sure there are no leaks before and during pouring. I ran mine up through conduit elbows and just zip tied them together. Here's a picture hope it...

I have 32' scissor trusses on top of a 9 ft wall on just over a course of block showing above my floor for a total of about 13 1/2' roughly so I can fit a lift. They are 5/12 pitch on the outside and 3/12 on the inside. The other half of my garage I have storage trusses and the ceiling is just...

A lot of guys I work with do concrete on the side, they buy their sealer right from the concrete supplier. I'm going there next week to get a bucket to seal my garage floor.
