Sorry guys.. I should have been more clear. I am referencing the inside. The thought on the seal on the bottom was to keep water from getting to the wall when washing cars and stuff. I get what you are saying on the moisture. The walls are just on the cement with sill foam down first. No other...

I want to put trim around the bottom of my shop to finish it off. I was thinking of using 1"x4" PVC and sealing the bottom with silicone before I set it in place. I also have two windows and a door to finish. I saw this from Home depot and thought maybe I could do the jam extensions and all the...

For those that have used the vinyl stripe.. Do you think it would stick ok on a textured wall? I have a perlite finish in my shop so not sure if it'll stick ok. I know the stripe will show some texture so not ideal, but it still may be the easiest way to get a good stripe if it'll stick. :) Thanks!

Sorry. Yes 80a at the house panel. No changes at the shop.

Great news! I'll get an 80a for the main and call it a day. Thanks guys!!

Maybe change the garage main breaker to this 80a? https://www.pacificcoastbreaker.com/qom80vh-square-d-new-circuit-breaker.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw4rf6BRAvEiwAn2Q76q-qhmFGCmjiAne98sK0vG5TDOy9cR2zepSNFL01Q31y_sK68N0QMRoC-hgQAvD_BwE

I just finished running 2-2-2-4 MHF 200' total from house to shop. House has a 200a main panel and a 100a sub panel when they finished the basement. I tied into the 100a subpanel with the MHF wire for now to a 50a breaker I already had. On the shop side I have a 100a panel found here...

Thanks guys. I think I am in good shape. I ordered a pressure tester as well to check my lines for leaks. Thanks for the help!

For the swing joint... Do you just make it out of the parts, or is it something you can buy as an assembly? I read up on why you would use one and it makes sense. Googling mostly returns sprinkler results.

I have been reading but still have some questions. My setup is as follows: 1. 200ft run 1 1/4 poly pipe with tracer wire 2. 75k BTU heater in shop 3. Will use risers on each end to convert to MIP ends 4. Each riser will have shutoffs I think that is what I know for sure. I don't know anything...

Great idea on the T's. I'll use them instead when I switch it over.

That's a good point. That would help.

I measured and it will be 40' from heater to the inlet coming into the garage. Only 4 90's so not a bunch of fittings but seems like I am pushing the limits. I don't know the pressure from the house. I haven't trenched that line yet and planned to get the gas company involved then. I didn't...

I am running 200' of 1 1/4" gas line to my shop that will run a 75k btu Hot Dawg heater. Inside the shop I ran 1/2" black pipe about 30' to stub out where I'll connect the heater. I was looking at the manual and if I read it right I am real close to min CFH due to the 30' run of black pipe. Can...

Finally getting around to my lighting now that temps are warming up. I purchased one of the recommended light fixtures from prolighting to get exact dimensions and lay things out: https://www.prolighting.com/t443ssubcxx00p0-18w5k.html They shipped quick and seem great to work with. (and we get...
