Thanks for all the advice. I am debating on pouring a pad and getting one of the stands for the condenser that will raise it off he pad or building a treated wood framework to raise the condenser.

The trailblazer was parked there 5 years ago by my nephew and he has never been back, I have tried for years to get him to get me the title so I can have it hauled away with no success.

All of the uprights are steel, here is an image before the spray foam

I bought a 18k BTU mini split and have been trying to think of the best place for the condenser, this side is the best location due to the other side either having the emerald green arborvitae close to the wall on two sides and the front is all garage doors. The inside is Closed cell spray...

If I drill all the way through the beam I could use bolts and nuts

Is mounting this type of box to the Metal rafter with tek screw in my garage acceptable? If not what is the best way to do it? The Rafters are 12 gauge 2.25" tubing.

The metal studs in the building are 2.5" that may give me an R10-R12 value. I would like to spray foam it but financially that is not in the cards, so I will probably wind up going with foam board so i don't have to worry about mold. I figured I can do I 2" foam board in the cavity

I will be adding 2x3's in between the steel framing to aid in securing the sheeting.

Yes I will be insulating and covering the walls, most likely next year.

I have a few electrical questions. I have tried searching but I was not able to find what I needed or I just did not use the correct keywords. I just had this build put up a few weeks ago as a flow over from my main larger garage and need to put outlets and lights in I was just unsure of how to...

I was just trying to save space in the new garage, I have a 80 gallon in the old garage and figured it was enough to supply air to the new garage. I was planning on going below the frost line and would put dryers in front and after the line. I am trenching for the electric this weekend and...

I would like to run an air line to the new garage I just had built, the proposed area is the redline in the photo attached and the compressor is directly behind the wall where the red line is. I was thinking of using the 3/4" maxline from RapidAir or 3/4" Pex, I just was not sure how to...

It will be in 1 1/2" conduit. My concern was that since the panel is flush to the drywall the stub on an LB is about an 1" then I would need to put a small piece of pipe that I can thread to the back of the panel which will add another inch or two that puts the LB about 2" from being flush to...

I am planning on running 2-2-2-4 MHF cable direct buried except where it comes out of the ground then it will be in conduit and and LB to the exterior wall. My panel in the garage is recessed (flush to the drywall) so I cannot connect to the back of it since the LB would stick out too far from...

Why four conductor? I thought it would be 3 two power from the meter and a ground. Never mind I did not think of the neutral and ground being separate
