Welcome to GJ, there are plenty of ideas here to help.... BTW, let us know when you're having the yard sale????? Henri

A short update on the garage/workshop.... We have had GREAT weather over the past couple of days, 60's by day, 40's by date.... Quit work inside on the Dust Control (about 90% done, pictures to follow), and started work on the ramp. We should have all the decking on today.... Finally this...

attached are 'porch' pictures. The first is a shot from the house porch towards the garage porch. The will be a 4' wide ramp going from the house porch to the garage. If I can swing it ($$$), I'd like to have it covered... The second shot is the garage porch. As you can see, we are already using...

The saga continues.... Over the past couple of days, I've been also trying to get the dust collection system installed. The Dust Collector I have is the Grizzley G0548Z which has a 6" inlet. The plan is to run the 6" S&D as close as possible to all the 'stationary' tools (Sliding Comppound...

My order came already configured for LP, so I'd guess it could depend on your supplier or how you ordered. I went thru Amazon, and both natural and LP were offered. It was very clear on the outside of the box that my unit was configured for LP. I checked inside the unit, and I could not find...

Got some grading finished .... finally The 6 x 6 wall is now up, and the gravel (#57) was spread. All 16 tons of it. Now we need a good rain to wash the dust off it so we don’t keep tracking that into the house. At least no more of that damn red dirt – that stuff is tough to wash off, and if you...

Rather than an most likely 'expensive' breaker like you are trying - have you considered replacing 2 single breakers with one that takes the same space but has 2 toggles on it to control 2 circuits? I have had to do that in our house here; I doubled up 4 20A singles to end up with space for a...

Here in North Carolina, in a garage you MUST have all 120v outlets as ground faults, either by a GF breaker in the panel or a master GF receptical with the other outlets on the 'load' side of that master. Additionally outlets in a garage must be of the 'safety' variety, it has 'shutters' that...

Recently moved to the Southwestern NC Mountains from coastal SC, big change in scenery... BTW what is that white stuff all over the ground, in SC that was sand...... Damn its cold outside..... We love it here, a welcomed change. The house is great, but no garage, so a few months back, with a...

Johnny hit the nail on the head with all 3 points. I started out with plans for a smaller garage/workshop until I vistited with several other folks with different sized ones. Go to other garages, visulize how your equipment will fit, and that will help you a lot. I ended up with 32 x 30, with a...

My garage/workshop is sitting on a 32 x 30 pad, has a second floor storage area of 10 x 30. I have the Maxx 75K unit, and it heats the place up fine. Mine takes a bit longer than others have spec'd, but the garage is new, and we have not yet insulated the roof (this spring...). I usually do not...
