If the temperature setting upstairs is going to be warmer than the setting of your garage then insulate the floor, if its going to be the same then save your money. By the way will the heatpump be able to heat the inlaw suite the entire winter?

Does anyone know the easy way to open up the cracks in my garage floor in order to fill properly? In one post it says to cut them out, not sure what they mean, diamond blade, or grinding disc or chisel. Also how wide should the top be when I'm done? Any info is much appreciated KevinR

The make is a Stenhoj made in Denmark, Model DS4, I will need to go back and measure the length to see of my truck will fit, need about 190", not sure about that one, There was a cylinder replaced not too long ago on it, they maintain the shi ←←← heck out of their equipment though.

I just got a price from the Canadian Distributor this morning, about $100 a light for shipping and tax inc. sounds like you got a great deal

I know the rules are a lot more flexible, mainly because the wires from the garage to the house would be protected by a breaker, whereas the main from the pole is typically not protected. It will just giver till it melts. This would be all bad. KR

Gawd Those are Great looking Lights, Do they have 4) 4' tubes each or only 2 Any info would be greatly appreciated, the only ones at the HD or our Rona stores carry are about $95 each KR

The 4 post is rated at 9000# and the "rolling bridge jack" is rated at 3000#. learn something new everyday

Something that I have seen here, because our services are in the back alley, is to run the service to the garage and underground it to the house as a subpanel, 100amp or whatever it takes. Very Tidy, no new pole required and just a little underground that you can rough in yourself

I have the opportunity to buy a used four post lift for about $2500, the guy is going to upgrade to a two poster. I have never had a lift but I just can't see the large advantage of a two post. The four post is easier to drive onto and it comes with an air jack that mounts between the ramps...

Johnson controls make one as well and i think it might be a little bit cheaper A419

Where are you located and i can give you a quick heat load calc.

You should look into a Canadian distributor as well, I am really wanting to install something onto my garage floor and I'm not alone. Yesterday there was a two page article about people wanting showcase garages complete with stainless cabinets, tile backsplashes and the works. All include epoxy...

Have you considered tiles like racedeck or the ones sold at costco? kind of expensive though. You really need to find the source of the moisture though. is it an attached garage? If not, could you trench around the outside and install weeping tile? How about installing a sump pump in a corner...

Don't know what the weather is like where you live but i was told to keep the spacing 6" for the first 3 feet against the walls then goto 12". I kept with 300ft 1/2" lines and layed them out with the supply and return next to each other. works great. our winters get down to -35F

One epoxy that I found was http://enviroepoxy.com/ This is in stock here in Calgary and 900 sq ft is about $ 1000 for 2 heavy coats of colour and one heavy coat of clear. also includes lots of colour chips. Now their idea of heavy is 4 gallons per coat, the reason is that the packaging is in a...
