    Raising an existing garage?

    Sounds doable and I like the idea of using block versus a stub wall. If it quits raining around here I'll get some shots of the garage. The garage is a pretty simple 20x24 and there's no utilities to it other than power but that comes up the side wall so no issue there. Thanks for all the...

    Raising an existing garage?

    This may be an odd question but is there a reasonable way to raise the ceiling height of an existing garage without having to re-frame the walls entirely? I currently have a 20' x 24' garage but my full sized truck won't fit in it. That and I'd like to have some additional "head room" if I end...

    Changing profile name?

    Not sure I know exactly how to send that request to Ryan but I'll give that a shot. Nothing particularly wrong with my original it's just related to a business I'm not pursuing anymore. Not the worst thing to keep it but figured I'd ask to see if it's possible. That and there's another similar...

    Upgrade to 200amp panel

    Yeah I figured I would but thought I'd do a little homework to see if anyone has an experiences we could benefit from. I checked out a Siemens 200amp panel kit at Lowes and will probably go that route and move the 100amp panel to the garage. The existing 100amp panel is full of breakers as is...

    Upgrade to 200amp panel

    Unfortunately the garage is not near the power pole. It could be done but would require another overhead wire which I'd like to avoid. Other than crawling under the house (tight space) I don't mind the work part. My buddy the electrician will be doing most of the technical stuff. I'll just...

    Upgrade to 200amp panel

    In in Western Washington for location and my heating in the house is gas furnace. If there's a way to do it correctly and it's cheaper that's fine. Keep the suggestions coming.

    Upgrade to 200amp panel

    I'm just starting the planning for upgrading my 100amp panel to a 200amp panel. The general idea is to replace the 100 with a 200 and use the 100 as a subpanel in the garage. The 100amp panel runs everything in the house fine (smaller house) but right now I only have a single 20amp circuit...
