Yesterday I got my trim (1x4 Furring Strips) up on one wall and started laying the top 2ft of OSB along the next wall. Today I'm going to attempt to get some more OSB hung and get a 1st/2nd coat of Primer on everything up to a point so Tonight after the kiddo is asleep I can go back out and put...

I got a few things done in my shop. Hung up two more sheets of plywood. Now i just have to rip a 21" section to get into the far corner before i start down the other wall. I also have to cut 2ft sections for the long wall to get to the 10ft mark. I haven't decided if I'm going to insulate and...

How do a check this to be 100% sure as the instructions for the lift say nothing about needing to add anything? It does have this large relay.

Just wanted to update everyone. Last week I finally had the time to install my two 8ft ground rods, Larger Panel, and got the lift almost fully installed as of last night. I do have questions about wiring in my lift motor. Lift Motor pigtails are stranded wire, and all of the wire I bought was...

Thank you for that. The EV thing is a great way to add power usage.. didn't think of that. I have since decided to just roll with my 60amp service for a bit. My wife and I where down at the garage with my son the other day and i was talking about something and she just said well wait and just...

So i started that process with my electric company just to find out what it would cost if anything because I've been told Yes its free under 200' and No you have to pay.. but for some darn reason they want you to fill out a stupid residential load letter and blah blah and that requires me...

All, when picking my breakers for the 220/230v stuff should I do the 125% addition to the amps it says and get the closest? Nation Wide 2Post Lift: 220v / 20a — should I put it on a 20a or 30a breaker Miller Mig Welder: 230V / 21.7A — assuming 30A 60gal Kobalt Air Compressor: 230v / 15.7A —...

Yea my House has a 200amp main panel and a 90amp sub panel in it do to an addition back in 2011 prior to my purchase of the property. They rand the 60amp feeder for the garage off the 90amp subpanel in the house. I do have another question about the subpanel in the garage since I'm going to...

Its only me and my 2yr old lol.. but he's not using any tools yet.

Greetings All, I have been searching and reading many different things and would just like to hear some people who have 60amp service in there garages. My Shop is 30'x35' Carolina carports garage and has a 60amp service from the house. This was how it came when i bought the house. I keep going...

OP, Not sure about your particular building but I have a 30x36 Carolina Carports garage with Vertical Roof and Walls along with two roll ups, 1 Ped door, and 6 windows. My Vertical tubing is 2.25" square and I have been looking to the same insulation you have been and was going to go with 2" but...

Really interested in this as I have a similar type of building. I have condensation issues with mine and want to stop it. I plan to have a mini split eventually. i am also going back and forth on the 2” foil backed foam board or spray foam.

Is your building the same type as mine? As others have stated my building may sweat and I would be worried about moisture and mold growing.

Thank you all for the responses so far. Do you all have any recommendations for what type of foam board to use? I know Lowe’s and Home Depot have a foam board that has a reflective side in it (not sure of the name). The square tube that makes up the walls are 2.25” square, and should I place...

Hi all My names mike I just purchased a home that came with a 30x35 steel building as well as a 24x28 prefab wood floor garage next to it. I’ve been looking for the most cost effective ways to insulate the steel building and have read so many different ways you can do it that have been the...
