All of these are great ideas...One more for you might be the direction I took. I went with ADT Pulse. They have a variety of packages to suit your budget, and you have the ability to monitor your property 24/7 from anywhere you have access to a computer (or phone). I have inside/outside...

Hi...You owe it to yourself to check out One-Day Garages based in Hubbard. I used them on my 40'x40' and was totally pleased with the price and quality of workmanship. They have their own in-house lumber mill, and buy off of themselves saving you the middle man mark-up. They have a website...

Northern Pa....Plenty cold in the winter....I'm thinking somewhere in a corner inside, maybe with an enclosure to muffle the sound...I'll look through some threads for ideas...thanks again...

Greetings All...I've finally begun the build on my 40 x 40 dream garage that I intend on documenting here, but right now I need some advice from the pros...Here goes: I eventually want to run water and electric off of my main building to the garage, but at this point my builder says I have to...
