How would this heater compare to the FUH54 or G73 heaters? Is it pretty much the same type and quality of heater? Can be had for less then half the price.

Just to clarify, the blue line is my 3 sets of wire. The blue circles are where I need to drill holes. I need holes from the top my wire will drop down, one towards the bottom to reach the webbing area and a hole in the webbing area to enter my basement.

Can I do something to allow storage up there?

The builder drilled through the flange and webbing in multiple spots so I have to assume its safe. The top beam that runs the length of the house appears to have some electrical going through it as well.

Can plywood be installed on top of the insulation? I could use all that space up there for storage.

Is Kraft faced the ones with paper on one side? Don't the faced insulation batts have a vapor barrier attached to it so I can literally just slide them between the studs or is this more complex? Damn builder couldn't just finish this.

I'm in the process of running some new electrical in my garage. I cut an access hole in the ceiling to allow me to run the wires. I'm adding an FUH54 heater and realized the ceiling wasn't insulated by the builder, only the area above living space is. Can I just lay insulation sheets down like...

The picture above is correct. It have started routing the wire, its not that hard. Not sure why I was quoted 900 to 1100 for the job when it cost me 180 bucks in materials.

FUH54 and 4 post lift

I didn't realize it wasn't a beam but rather a joist. So glad to hear its safe to drill through. Is it ok to use 1 hole for 3 wires? I will have 3 10/2 runs going through the same hole and ceiling or do I need 2 smaller holes instead of the one 7/8" or larger.

Trying to figure out the best way to run wire through an I-Beam flange. I need to come down from the ceiling down the wall and get into the bottom I-Beam webbing which will allow me to enter the basement. From what I have read, you cannot drill holes into an I-Beam flange. If thats the case, how...

I believe there has to be a way to disconnect the lift in plain site. My breaker box is 70 feet away in basement.

If a 4 wire dryer receptable will work with no neutral connected I prefer to go that route as its cheaper in the end.

Not in a remote area at all. Checked Lowes and Home Depot today, they only had RV cables and Dryer 3 and 4 wire cables. I can get the 6-30 plug on Amazon. What type of electrical cable would I use to make my own plug. I assume not the NM cable I'm running in the walls...

I cannot get a 6-30 connector. Local store only sells dryer cables so I'm trying to utilize that type of outlet. If the 14-30 receptable will work without the neutral wire present, I can use it and get a regular dryer cord for the heater and lift and still have the safety of the ground. Just not...
