We bought a Keter for my son last year. It's holding up well. I used a few times and it was sturdier then I thought it would be.

I know a couple people with 12x20's with wood floors who store cars in them a 66 mustang and c5 Vette. They have both been doing it for several years. I asked one of our local shed guys and they use 5/8 t and g panels with closer spacing on the floor frames for cars. Sent from my Moto G (5)...

The biggest issue I would see for residential is battery maintenance. Other then that it should work fine. You could use AGM's but that will cost quite a bit.

Agree check with codes. In my slow garage planning I have talked to my town several times about a detached garage. Adding a bathroom or kitchen is against the zoning rules in a detached building in my town. They allow it if attached as a mother in law suite. I hear a few towns are allowing...

Here in CT last I called concrete was 120-150 a yd. That ads a lot. Labor is more expensive up here as well all that adds up. I was going to do a similar post every time I think about building a garage the cost of concrete scares me away.

I used a duct fan for my daughters room seems to compensate up to a 3 degree differential but won't get to 10 degrees maybe a more powerful one would get closer.

As someone mentioned if you use Cell service Cradlepoint is a good option to distribute the service in the house. I have run a couple of their products at work and found them very user friendly. This one is similar to the current setup we use. https://cradlepoint.com/products/mbr1200b

The diagram appears to be for a 6 positions switch (3 phase to phase positions and 3 phase to neutral positions) So in other words I'm pretty sure that's the wrong diagram. The best bet is going thru it with a meter (I usually just use the audible continuity tester) and see what connects where...

I've had great luck with Makita grinders. I bought one just for fiberglass work 10 years ago and even with all the dust never a problem. I had several cheap ones I used for metal (harbor freight) that all failed. My father then gave me his 1988 vintage Makita when he got a new one. Still works...

Here are a few boat sources https://www.alpenglowlights.com/ https://store.marinebeam.com/marine-led-fixtures/ http://www.imtra.com/ For switching IMTRA above sells European vimar stuff thats nice. I would look at Carling Contura rockers they are common in the marine world but won't fit a...

Hmm would seem you would be better off with something like enphase micro inverters. http://www.wholesalesolar.com/brands/enphase-energy

In the marine world we would use on of these Sterling Mastervolt Victron Charles Industries Newmar Pro Mariner There are other out there as well. Look up the specs for your batts and see what charge voltages they need then check the charger specs. The only AGM maker I know that allows for...

When I lived in Maine all the commercial fisherman wore Grundens.

Kevin, Take a look at this for info on Shocks in the water. Been hot topic in boating for 10 years or so now. http://www.boatus.com/seaworthy/magazine/2013/july/electric-shock-drowning-explained.asp

Check out marine battery chargers from Victron Sterling Charles etc they will push out a lot more amps then the auto ones. It will cost you but a Honda 2000 can power a 100 amp 12VDC charger. You can buy a 40-50 amp model at a reasonable cost.Mind you the motorcycle battery won't take all that...
