    Radiant floor heat..how economical ?

    I am now just doing a radiant system in my house. It is a retro fit so it will be a "staple up" installation between the floor joists. My house has 4 zone heat and 1 of the 4 zones I never use (I have a wood pellet stove in that area). Anyway, radiant heat is not that difficult as long as you...

    Temporary option

    I used a small cat litter pan (or similar) filled with an inch of speedy dri to catch the drippings from my auto ****** when the rear seal was leaking. The weight of the speed dri keeps the pan in place and also helps prevent any spilling. If you do use some type of pan, I do recommend putting...

    Wall board

    I'm sorry guys in my post I did say $4 ish for the drywall and I am wrong. Simple type, I ment $8 ish and didn't read my post, my bad. I will be doing the drywall in my garage and I was a bit concerned about taping and mudding, but there are quite a few sites on line that go over the proper way...

    Wall board

    TIleboard would be an EASY way out, as you can buy strips to connect panels together for a cleaner look. However, I don't think it would be a CHEAPER way out. Tile board 4x8 = $10 Sheetrock 4x8 = $4 ish If you need 18 sheets that would be $180 for tile board or $72 for sheetrock. Granted you...

    Bending exhaust tubing

    It would be cheaper to haul the car to a muffler shop and have the work done. Your cost at the shop should be around $175 (going off my experience). Unless you plan on bending a lot of stuff in the future you won't make out in the end. You can buy pre bent tubing in various sizes from Summit...

    Is a high lift door possible for me?

    Someone already posted this, but curious as to why you wouldn't want to look into the roll up over head door? No tracks anywhere to worry about.

    Newbie and just finished floor (pics)

    Very nice. The first pic actually looked like you had carpet (area already done) in your garage. I thought that very weird until I looked at the other pics and realized that it was the finsihed result.

    Electrical wire size, what size to run?

    2 questions regarding wire size. 1) For a 220 volt welder (Miller 175) what size wire should I run say for a 10' length? and what size breaker? 2) For a 7500 watt generator, what size wire should I run for that back to the panel? The welder would be 2 hot and ground so that would be wire...

    Will these ceiling joists hold drywall?

    If you're concerned about the added weight, why not just go with the 3/8 for the ceiling?

    Dual receptacles or quads???

    I will have to second that. :bowdown: I want to install 3 quad outlets in the workshop side of the garage and was just thinking how I would run teh wire from box to box. Now I don't have to, I can run the wire from the outlets to the junction box and be done with it. I would have only...
