    tdott's double garage build - lift, floors, cabinets

    Long over due update, last year I installed a mini split finally. I picked up an Everwell 1 ton, 220v unit in Miami for super cheap. It is basically a Mr.Cool style unit for $450. Includes the lineset and comes pre-charged. This was the 2.5" hole I needed to drill, I decided to make the hole...

    Car lifts and space

    I wouldn't store on a 2post, also you need to take into account the height needed to lift off the safety locks for most setups. IMO 9.5" is a no go if you want to double stack.

    Ah so that is the trick, couldn't find any 15A fusible disconnects.

    Mini Split AC Install - 15A 240V

    Yes the label says Max. Fuse 15A for sure. Slightly different wording than most that say Max Cir. Breaker. What's the difference between a 15A Fuse disconnect with a 15A breaker and a non-fused disconnect and a 15A breaker? Isn't it preferred to use a non-fuse disconnect for AC installs and...

    Mini Split AC Install - 15A 240V

    Planning to install a mini split in my garage. Unit says 15A max, 240V. I didn't think a 15A 240V breaker exist. 20A or 30A seems more common. Went to home depot, guy pointed me towards a single pole, single slot breaker with 2 individual breakers. That didn't sound right. Did some research...

    New 2-post lift fits 9-foot ceilings. PHOTOS

    As someone with a mid-raise lift in my garage, I beg to differ. I've done 10+ rod bearing jobs on my lift using a rolling stool. I think i'm actually faster on a stool than on my feet, rolling around getting tools etc, having tools right below me in my cart works pretty well for me. Yes a...

    Would you rent out your lift?

    I don't have a business or use my garage for making a living or even a side gig, it's just a hobby garage. That said, I do help a few friends out and ask they make a donation to my 'garage fund'. To pay for shop supplies, new tools, dispose of oil, etc. Not really including my time to...

    Welcome! I think with a 4post you should be fine. Monitor it if you are worried and see if any major cracks appear, then consider breaking it up and pouring a footing.

    Would a fan blowing behind heater help or hurt?

    Put the fan above the heaters so as the heat raises coming out of the heater it pushed around, don't point it directly at the heater.
