Loving the thread man! I'm a fellow bimmerphile myself...have a 95 M3. Wish I had more time& energy to get my cars detailed. I was wondering, did you use a purple on your wall stripe, or just a dark blue?

So, using this logic (which is good logic since it takes into account the full volume of the garage), my heater almost sounds undersized. https://www.newair.com/blogs/learn/how-to-size-garage-heater I have a 1,250sqft garage with an average of about 11ft ceilings, so 13,750cuft. I'd say my...

Do you have just one condenser for that?

I have an 80k in my 1250sqft garage, with half the walls shared with the house. It does a fine job, even if I open one of my two stall doors (one is 18x9 and the other is 16x9). I would definitely go larger.

If you insulate (and seal) between the slab and the underside of the floor, you may end up trapping condensation/moisture between the slab and the insulation; the concrete still needs to breathe. The concrete will remain cold no matter how you cut it (unless you break it up and add hot water...

Yea, that's exactly my thinking. If my garage were one big square it might make sense, but being able to distribute the cool air means it should cool off faster and evenly. Thanks guys.

Hey everyone! I am beginning to research installing a minisplit into my 1300sqft garage. It's attached to the house (in a manner that makes it less obvious) so it is shaped like an L. One side is basically a 2 stall garage, 24x25. The other side is almost a double deep two stall (and the deep...

Install it yourself. I had to run my 3/4" gas line probably 110' through the ceiling of my basement, through the garage and out the back wall, underground using polyethylene tubing and risers and back into the detached. I probably spent $400-500 on supplies (risers for underground were about...

You can still mount the air handler on the inside on a different wall than the exterior half of the mini-split, just do you are aware (the east and south walls). Just need a longer refrigerant line.

Not as often as I would like. But, I try to mop my floor every 6 months at least. But, I do the daily driver section more often. :)

20 hours?! That would have taken me easily 40-50. lol I need to learn how to do things faster.

Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! Well, in a way if I leave my shop heater (80k BTU ceiling heater) set to50 at all times, everything in my garage is warm as well (except for the concrete of course) so I have the benefit of radiant heat as well...

If you did that, you would only be able to use the lift when the dryer was not running. It won't hurt anything per say, since the circuit breaker will prevent any overcurrent situation, but I would think that could become a nuisance?

Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! GeddyT, outstanding thread man. I actually subscribed and have been watching updates over the last few weeks! An inspiration! :) When we built our house almost two years ago I was THIS close to doing in-floor...

Interesting. Yea, I wonder that too. I mean, I waited a week at least before putting down the epoxy. I then went through the trimmed them all with a knife so they were flat against the floor. For a while, my floor looked beautiful and seamless, but eventually the Sikaflex started bubbling out...
