So the pipe for the heated floor is all finished. I contacted my concrete guy so just waiting for a good day to pour the floor. I've used about 800 zip ties to attach the pipe to the mesh. You can see all the tails i cut off the zip ties. My hands are pretty sore from using so many. And as you...

So my concrete guy came today and suggested that i do 2 loops in each bay. Working on that in this sweltering heat. Will post pics soon!!!

Update! Got my "pre slab inspection" from the town today, all set with that. Now I started laying the pex for the radiant floor. I would have actually made progress today if work didnt call but I have to pay for this somehow. Currently I am just using zip ties to attach the tube to the mesh. I...

This is the 100 Amp panel I put in. i also ran an extra conduit so if i need to run another line later on i dont need to dig. I also ran a telephone line so i can hook up internet and wifi. P.S. I realized i have to hold my phone upside down when i take the picture to get it to show right side...

Haha no I am building this in New York. And as far as the pictures go, my phone is retarted and they are right side up in my phone but I dont know why they post upside down. As far as the purpose of this garage its going to be my own little (big) workshop for project cars and trucks and just...
