With the one from the professionals, I get a 5 year parts and labor warranty. They did offer to install the Beacon Morris one, but said they would rather use they one they are confident in and will fix for 5 years if it breaks, for whatever reason.

The other purpose of the heater is to keep the garage at 40-50 in the winter no matter what. I have two bedrooms above that need space heaters to keep them warm when it gets really cold. My theory is keeping the garage warmer will negate the need for the space heaters. Tom

Folks - Thanks for all the great replies. Sorry for my lack of responses, I setup email notifications on reply and somehow didn't get them. Anyway, after reading through these, I have decided to go with the professional install and his heater - It is not worth $300 to do otherwise. I will...

Hello - I am looking at putting a garage heater into my garage. It is a standard, 2-car attached garage. It has bedrooms above it and the walls are insulated. I live in the suburbs near Chicago. For reference on current level of insulation, when it is in the 30's outside, it is usually...

Saw this on amazon, looks like it would heat a 2 car attached insulated garage for occasional use when doing projects quite nicely. Opinions? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KKO4WA/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Thanks, Tom

I ended up getting the "Seville Classics" stuff from Sams club. A few more pics...still have more to go... The flat screen is going in this corner. The stereo will be in the shelf up above... Need to get to running some more outlets along this wall... Put another 4 T8's in each bay. The...

Never too late. I am almost 38 and bought my first street bike (the Triumph) this summer. I started riding dirt bikes only four years ago. Tom

I used a company called Garage Floor Coating and they handled the fixing of the concrete/filling with epoxy. Overall, happy with the job they did. http://garagefloorcoating.com/

2006 Triumph Scrambler. Fully stock except for TORS (Triumph Off Road) exhaust to give it some sound.

Yes, the beam is structural. My house was built in 1963, not high ceilings, it limits the options. Don't really have any specific plans for it, other than the painting to make it look decent. Thanks to you both for the positive comments.

Still a work in progress. Have to decide on cabinets, workbench, audio/video setup, booze and monster drinks fridge, and put up more lighting. So far, so good. Before... After...

Thanks. I just spilled some oil and wiped it up really easily. It was so nice, I will deal with the little bit a slip. That being said, I am still chasing my installer to respond to me. They slopped on the poly and there are roller marks with "lines" where poly is thicker in one place than...

He did include slip resistance. I am just wondering if my expectations are set too high. Even with a slip resistant coating, is some level of slipping, more so than bare concrete, to be expected? Tom

Hmmm...yes, they are 32W, but they are supposed to be higher efficiency 32W with better ballasts. Maybe just a gimmick. They did seem brighter in the store compared to the other ones next to it, but they could have just put in different bulbs. I would think that his way too much effort for...
