Welcome from NB

I have a Generac whole home. Thing I haven't seen mention is quality of power. A whole home or a good invertor generator is safe to use with sensitive electronics. The cheaper generators will ruin computers and most compressors and motors over time ( Fridge and fans on gas furnace) I live in...

1 1/4 " plywood is the old school tried and true. Ditra is a stop gap product made to allow the tile to move as a whole, when your subfloor is not strong enough. So the question comes down too. " Do you wanna do it right or do you wanna use a product to make it right". Also I think a lot of...

Thanks Stuart, I should be forming for pad this weekend hopefully. Waiting on permits at the moment. Will post pictures

Stuart Any chance you can show a pic of the stairs, I was thinking of permanent stairs as compared to fold up.

Thanks Juiced10 and Stuart, Hey Stuart so how much width at standing height do you think you have, all said do you think its worth it on a 24x24, I'm wondering if I'm gonna find the space useless or the stairs will screw up my layout downstairs. I don't plan on 2 cars, more of a workshop/...

Can I ask what size trusses they are 9/12 maybe, does the overhang give you more room upstairs ?

Hey everyone, does anyone here have a 24x24 with 10/12 pitch they could share some pics off the garage to show the room upstairs

Location New Brunswick Canada. As for bigger I can't justify the concrete required ( plus 9000 just in form work and concrete and rebar). I'm not super worried about the sq ft as much, knowing I still can build a 10x20 behind it, and yes they may magically become attached later.

My reasoning for the 24 wide was to gain some attic space, while still having some depth for tool benches and to fit my truck. It's definitely a compromise from my original 26x30 but I have to follow the rules on sq ft. That said I can always build a 10x20 nect year behind it. I will definitely...

Thanks guys for the advice so far, and to answer a few questions. I will probably never put my car or truck in the garage, maybe the truck to work on. I have a Kubota bx25 that will live there, as well as a small 16 foot triumph side console that will reside there in the summer. in the winter...

I'd be most concerned about the corners of 2by material cutting into corners, maybe wrap with pool noodles or some type of mat or something. I wonder if you should maybe ask on a boat forum, bet them guys would be the ones to ask. Please take pics and show you work, I'd love to see the results

:mad:Hi everyone, and thank you for any advise in advance. I have a weird predicament here and could use the Garage guru's help. My local town only allows a detached garage to be up to 600 sq ft before needing frost walls and even with frost walls requires under 800 sp ft So what I wanna ask if...

Exranger is correct.

I have all Leviton Tamper resistant plugs and have zero issues, I think the cheaper plugs are known for issues. When I built I bought all material, so I made sure I used top products
